# | A Depression-Era Map Showing the Robust State of College Football in 1938 (from Slate.com's The Vault) This is a really awesome map. It's interesting to note that, before the SEC and ACC were created, what is now today's SoCon was probably the most awesome college football conference ever.
From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Conference
Talks of a new conference for southern athletics had started as early as fall of 1920. The conference was formed on February 25, 1921 in Atlanta as fourteen member institutions split from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Southern Conference charter members were Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Washington & Lee. In 1922, six more universities – Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane, and Vanderbilt joined the conference. The first year of competition for the conference was in 1922, effective January 1. The new rules banned freshman play. Later additions included Sewanee (1923), Virginia Military Institute (1924), and Duke (1929).
It's so interesting to see how the landscape has changed over the years. Basically, all the non-Ivy League schools in the northeast were independents before the Big East unified those schools. Penn State was rejected by the Big East, which ultimately led to them going to the Big Ten. Really nice find.
from the Frank Beamer school of coach-speak: we'll take ours and play against theirs

but we also have to do things to help our guys beat man-to-man coverage that's not single routes.
Double moves coming, like we saw from anOSU. Hope Fuller and Facyson are ready.

Interesting...that was quick. At least it seems like a promotion for him.
I'll shelf the joke/question about WR blocking until the Pitt game.

Redshirting isn't something you can say you are against or for IMO. You have to evaluate each player. If they can contribute in a manner that helps the team win, play them. If they can't do that, redshirt them.
This is spot on.

# | A Depression-Era Map Showing the Robust State of College Football in 1938 (from Slate.com's The Vault) Apparently Logan and Provo switched places sometime between then and now.
Kevin Sherman isn't Purdue's WR coach anymore. He was hired by Narduzzi to be Pitt's WR coach back in January.
Yulee might be a DE for us
Typical Urban Meyer marketing spin. Claims "We don't redshirt anyone" yet he redshirts 50% or more of each class.
Let their be bloodshed (on the field).
Wonder how much of this comes from their prior history (UNCheat) or from Kevin Sherman being their WR coach?
Speaking if which, do you think Purdue's WRs can block?
Their OC is familiar with Foster...and it goes a little something like this.
Tech (1-1) went 4-1 against UNC while Shoop was there and Foster's defense let up an average of just 15.6 points per game in those contests.
So yeah. I think Bud can go to his tendencies and be just fine.

Ole Miss was the actual nickname of U of Mississippi, not the Rebels
Oregon Webfeet before they were the ducks
The best though, Connecticut St. Nutmeggers.
I've always known the best talent is not in Hollywood or anywhere close.
And if it hasn't been noted, zoom in on the west stands lower rows and see what looks like to me a long line of recruits. People up on that stuff might know many of the faces.
Go Hokies! (Find Waldo in January)
I think it may be this:
It's played in Lane sometimes.
Clemson
Duke
Georgia Tech
Tree
Alabama
BYU
I've suggested it in a couple threads. That guy has a football IQ that is hard to measure. He also played MLB in high school and has the size and burst to fill holes with authority (that's what she said)
Also, bottom right, it would appear Marty Smith caught a whiff of it as well!
