    AlphaDawg  Prayers and thoughts for her, you, and ya’ll’s family Alpha

  4. Reddawg13

    Bulldawg Bob2 Reddawg13 Bulldawg36 understand that, was just getting a feel for the speed of each.  however on a long pass play they may very well close at times counting the route and YAC

  9. Bulldawg Bob2

    Reddawg13 Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36  His fastest official 2016 time is 10.93 in the 100-meter.

    But football players rarely run a full 100 yards on a play except on punt and kick returns.

  12. Bulldawg Bob2

    Bulldawg36  His fastest 100-meter time is 10.64 seconds for the 2016 GHSA outdoor season.

    BahitsAgain and they just lost their starting QB. oh well guess he figured if he couldn’t go to Stanford might as well get beat by them!

    My first day at UGA was the flea flicker game in 1965. I was a season ticket holder until my son played elsewhere in 1991. We didn’t need gimmicks or music to attend. The stadium was very loud when I was there.

  19. All I want for Christmas is an awesome left tackle

    Moving head changes spine axis – bad. And you do keep your weight back if though you drive off your back foot (draw a vertical line through the middle of the stance of any good hitter at impact and you’ll see).

  21. MMCSDAWG

    Bulldawg36 Nice counter move by Kirby and crew!  Punch counter punch and I believe kirby got the best shot in!

  26. All I want for Christmas is an awesome left tackle

    It’s not quite that simple. Yes your head moves with your body as you step. Yes you drive off your back foot with a turn and roll to the tip of your foot. Once the front foot is planted though, the head does very little movement as the hips and shoulders rotate.
    It’s not the head that’s critical, it’s that the spine angle stays close to the same through the rotation in the x,y and z axis. If you are moving your head much through rotation and impact, your brain has a hard time adjusting your swing path. It will make corrections that are “un-natural” and out of sequence.

  27. MMCSDAWG

    AlphaDawg Thoughts and prayers sent Alpha!   I had my gallbladder removed about 15 years ago!  It was a GREAT move and I felt like a new man!

  28. AlphaDawg

    BahitsAgain AlphaDawg Greg Poole converted 1981 I’ll complain about it until it’s fixed. You can tell with the upbeat music choices now that it’s changing, but it’s been like pulling teeth to get here. I’m sorry people but Hank Williams just isn’t football hype music. He’s great for riding in the car, hanging out around the fire, etc. BUT NOT A FOOTBALL GAME! 
    I want people loud! In fact, I think they should put the awnings above the top sections to close in the sound. I like the side being open to the bridge, but have something like this to trap sound in.

    Greg Poole   “In an instant, it came to me as far as how it made you keep your head still. The instant application was, ‘OK, anybody that we’re working on when their head is moving a little bit, perfect.’ It makes you keep your head still and keep your head back. Even the slightest bit of head movement or lunging will make it impossible to see the ball.” — Tom Brunansky

    “You fight against going forward, against lunging. Everybody lunges a little—you have to in order to keep your weight balanced as you stride. You can’t keep your head perfectly still as the golfer is told to do because your lead foot is moving and the head and body come with it to maintain balance.” — Ted Williams

    Tom Brunansky 6’4 210lbs 14 year stats:
    Batting average:  .241
    Homeruns:  271
    Slugging percentage:  .434

    Ted Williams 6’3 190lbs 19 year stats:
    Batting average:  .344
    Homeruns:  521
    Slugging percentage:  .634

    If you have a kid who plays baseball, don’t tell him to “stay back” or “keep his head still”. It’s one of the worst hitting instructions being taught today. I laugh every time I hear people say today’s hitters can’t hit as good as Ted did, because the pitching is better. Maybe if more hitters would actually try and do what Ted actually did hitters would hit better. MLB and college baseball are full of hitting instructors who were mediocre hitters themselves. How does a 6’4″ 210lb guy who hit .241 become a hitting instructor? I guess if you want to hit .241 you should follow Brunansky’s advice. If you want to hit better than .241, IMO you are way better off doing what Ted said to do.

    Next time you walk, pay attention to how your body moves. Does your body move like a toy soldier…where your torso stays back while you lift one foot, put the foot down and the torso follows? Or when you walk, does your torso begin to lean forward slightly…FIRST…and…THEN…your foot lifts off the ground and reaches forward? “Stay Back” in hitting is the equivalent of walking around like a toy soldier. The legs assist what the torso wants to do…the torso doesn’t assist what the legs want to do.

  32. BahitsAgain

    AlphaDawg BahitsAgain It is funny hearing “back up to a higher salary”.  What is the base contract for an NFL guy?  1/2 million?

    I could live on that.  🙂

  33. AlphaDawg

    BahitsAgain AlphaDawg Me too. I really thought he was a round 5 max guy. He was the fastest guy in the draft! Hopefully he can prove his worth and get back up to a higher salary.

  34. BahitsAgain

    AlphaDawg Greg Poole converted 1981 They used to be mocked as the “Wine and Cheese” crowd.   Complaints go back beyond the old grape vine website.

  35. AlphaDawg

    ZippyMorocco AlphaDawg Haha no way! When watching this I was kind of disappointing they don’t do the red coat band spelling of Georgia; at least I haven’t seen it in a while if they do.

  36. JaxDawg

    BahitsAgain I feel it will be harder for him to prove himself as a football player at Cal than as a student at Georgia. Really, it’s the student that creates the opportunities, not the school. Unless you are a genius that needs the resources of an MIT etc., you succeed by the work you put in not the level of academia that surrounds you.

  37. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole converted 1981 Yes It will fade. My generation and the GenX crowds are much more into standing and yelling. The country club atmosphere will be out of the stands and into the club seats soon hopefully.

  43. BahitsAgain

    Drob definitely did not care about a school’s recruiting prowess.  From 247 Cal 2016 is ranked 31st and I think it was updated after his addition because he is listed as their only 5 star.  They had 1 4 star, an all purpose back.  The rest are either 3s or unranked.

    He must really love the campus and distance.

  44. BahitsAgain

    ronaldo77 It has to be very minor, if at all, compared to what Ole Miss should get after the Tunsil reveal.

    talk about a rough “tonsillectomy”  ouch

  45. Greg Poole

    ronaldo77  I’m not sure that there is any violation. The LSU violation with a financial aid signee was that they took advantage of the unlimited contact privilege and the kid went to Bama.

  46. ronaldo77

    This might have been talked about before but what kind of recruiting violation do we need have since we spoke about DRob on Twitter?

  50. Greg Poole

    BahitsAgain There is no longer any benefit to changing his ranking. He is a 4-star for life now.
