Well, the score board at his school says "syrup country". At least we would have a syrup connection

His twitter has some pro Clemson stuff on it, so he can kiss my arse

Not recruiting, but UA is about to hit a homerun. Bill Battle expected to step down as AD this week, and Greg Byrne (current AD at Arizona) is expected to be hired. That is an absolute coup. Many people consider him the best AD in the country. Young, innovative, and very aggressive.

If nothing else, thank God Battle is gone. I don't think his tenure was very good for the University. It wasn't terrible, but he had several PR snafus and treated the position too much like a for-profit business. You shouldn't sell naming rights to rooms in the athletic complex while denying club teams the use of the script A all in the name of $$. If we can't make it on what the football team brings in, maybe we need to examine the budget.

Battle did bring in Avery Johnson so I'm not mad. I appreciate what he did.

That would be Coach Kelly at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock. He rarely ever punts, kicks FGs or kicks PATs.

It's a 20 year decision. And he makes the next football hire.

Following the trip, Solomon's mother informed Dawgs247 that "we're done with visits."

Solomon confirmed those plans.

"I am done," Solomon said.




No Georgia visit after all. Interesting.

Per Steve Wiltfong on USC Trojans site:

"The buzz says USC did well with Solomon and his family this weekend. Is it enough to pass Alabama?"

After the fiasco with Najee, I don't trust what any of these families say.

Oh Lawd. An "insider" on BOL had this to say about Chris Henderson:
