We picked up some fresh grouper from a farmer's market yesterday and will cook it tonight. Blackened in a cast iron skillet. Fingerling potatoes and some fresh green beans.

Some pretty good games today, which is a something considering where we were a few months back.

I saw some stat on baseball that they had over 8,000 tests of late, none positive.  They've done a very credible job with this.

Yeah, I agree that a coach that does relatively well with 2-3 star players might not excel with 4-5 star personalities.

A thing I saw Mark Richt try was to hire troubled talented players out of HS thinking he could fix them.  With few exceptions, they could not be fixed, they either left, were kicked off, were arrested and kicked off, or poisoned the locker room.  A huge chance I see with Smart is MANY fewer off season "issues".  I think he is demanding not only talent but also character (or perhaps the Athens police have gotten lax).

It used to be a routine fear in August as to which players were about to be suspended.

So, in other words, duh, this is a complex issue that even highly paid ADs don't manage all that well except hit or miss.


Not to be too cynical, but I think that might be a case of demanding less of them character-wise, not more. Now that admittedly might've been one of Richt's flaws coaching at that level, i.e., holing the good kids more accountable instead of slap on the wrist football accountable.

But them's the breaks. I do think IDing and developing the right 2-3 star can be different than developing many 4-5 stars, sometimes it's the same. Sometimes not.

Their problems usually were with the Athens PD, not the coaches.

Would go fishing but everyone's pulling their boats,plus I'll be staying at my sisters as she had hip replacement last week.Her sons live out of state but I can still sip Beam/Yuengling and watch CFB
I have a wedding reception to attend this evening so won't be watching much football
2 yrs ago I attended an October Wedding and Bride/Groom made sure TVs were off as to focus on their special day.It'll was the longest Night of my life not knowing many there and the supposed Filet Mignon smacked of ASS.I didn't tell the Groom's Mother as I didn't want to ruin their special day

Lazy rainy day with no softball games for my daughter. I have a day to watch football and of course WVU is off. Probably watch UGA-UT later and then some of Clemson-Miami.
