That Kelly Clarkson cover is actually totally killer!

SING IT KELLY

But is it possible that Jareth Glanda is related to Jareth Cutestory?

Love it
26 weeks 6 days ago What that play at least came out LOOKING like...

Was Smith running the RB speed-option action as a diversion while Denard cut up inside instead of going to the edge. Whether that was by design or simply because Denard saw a giant gaping hole in front of him and figured "why bother running outside when the end zone is right there two yards away" is a question.

I don't like "Fritz" because it's a synonym for something not working. You don't want a formation called "The Shitshow" or "The Hindenberg."

I was perplexed by that quote as well. Only thing I can think of is that they internally refer only to the interior players (SDE, NT, 3-tech) as d-linemen. Small evidence of this is I think Mattison called Roh's position "rush linebacker" or some such at one point.
39 weeks 4 hours ago Guys, this is great stuff

But this is, after all, MGoBlog. Have we really determined that Hoke's pointing is more frequent and effective than the average coach?

At the very least we should search an industry-leading sports-photo wire service's database for Hoke's name vs. several other comparable big-name university coaches' names for a time period ranging from the beginning of their coaching careers until a given date after their hiring at their current prestige job. (You could make it the number of days between Hoke's hire and today.) Then we would look at the ratio of pictures featuring pointing (semi-objective criteria involving elbow angle and finger visibility would have to be established) to total pictures.

This would just be a start, of course. There are a few obvious issues to be worked out, methodologically; for one, the fact that Hoke spent his early career at a high-profile gig might affect the number of pictures he's involved in, actually suppressing his pointing ratio. (anyone standing next to Woodson in 1997 was going to get photographed, but a guy who spent his early career at a more obscure school would ONLY get photographed if he were doing something visually interesting like pointing.) I'm sure Misopogon can help with this.

Just: nice job, thanks for posting.
44 weeks 3 days ago YESSSSSSSS

I love when soccer players who have just scored huge goals react with seconds of utter disbelief. It's such an event they can't even fathom what happened in order to celebrate

But not Gilbert Arenas bad. Villanueva especially is at a price that some GM could justify if he felt he were one or two pieces away.
