Let' see (bare with me, going off memory)

Coach Dodge spoke about the great atmosphere at Clemson. Away coaches have the choice of when they want to come out, 1st or 2nd (don't think i knew that). Dodge wanted his team to come out first to soak it all in.

He was proud of his team. They battled until the very end. He said the team was down on the bus after the game, they thought they had a chance to win. Film yesterday (or this morning?) was filled with a room fool of focused kids. He said they're confident but know they've got some things to work on. (I liked hearing that)

Clemson gained half their yards on 5 plays.

Lance showed his explosiveness. On the shuffle play late in the game, Georgio thought he was gone but got tripped up from behind. Dodge said that's only the 2nd time he's seen Lance get caught from behind. The other was against WKU and he "took some ribbing" on that one.

Dodge seemed pleased with our 3rd down conversions.

Offensive penalties and mental mistakes have to be corrected. He talked about the infamous celebration penalty. Talked about being unselfish and they've talked about it all offseason. Players don't need to "bring glory to themselves." (Thank you Dodge for saying that) He put them in a bad position. Even though its up to the defense to get a stop, giving a team like Clemson the ball on the 50 is not good.

Injuries: Ford may be back. Bennie Jones will not be. The kid worked hard and earned a scholarship.....Dodge was disappointed for him. Bragged on Lippo stepping up when J.J. Johnston went out. (I don't remember but I believe he expects him to be back Saturday.

Um......

That's all I can muster right now...

OH.

Talked about how important it is this year to get James Hamilton touches. He's starting this year the way Dunbar did last season. They are going to make it a point to get Hamilton touches.

Needs Saturday's team intensity up 10-fold against Rice. Spoke about being humiliated 2 years ago. Expects a big crowd at Fouts.

As for Rice:

Dodge said we match up comparably to Rice. Very even. Our OLine has a little more experience. They have several returning starters on defense as do we. Talked about their running back.

(This is shaping up to be one helluva game at Fouts.)

Ford will Hurt. Bennie Jones looked B.A. for the time he was out there... Wish we could have seen more of him. Didn't notice a difference in play from Johnston to Leppo myself. I guess that's a good thing?

Thanks for the recap too.

I thought this was interesting: Coach Dodge pointed out that against Clemson, we set a school record for Time of Possession differential....as we had the ball 42 minutes (or so) to their 18 minutes (or so).

Please BEAR with me while I decide if I should BARE with you.

Don't nitpick. He could have just been asking you to expose yourself.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
