    UGA's showing really didn't shock me, though it did add a degree to my curiousity factor on what they are expecting. Ohio State? That fan base is hungry right now—hungry.

    To me, spring games are good for two things. I enjoy the day because it gives a chance to wander around campus and see how much things have changed. It's a good opportunity to catch up with old friends.

    In terms of football, it offers the same opportunity that a blow-out game does in the fall. A chance to look at the younger guys and see how they are progressing physically and mentally. It's never been a preview of the upcoming fall, but more of a glimpse of the team two or three years down the road.

    On a slightly different note: Reading observations from different folks after scrimmages is a great way to recognize those that haven't a freakin' clue about the team, the sport, etc.

    Saw UGA Spring Game replay. Eason looks more polished as a true freshman than Harris does as a Junior. BH still looks confused, doesn't set his feet and throws high. Etling has potential. Looks like a prototypical Bama QB. Will probably never see the field in an SEC "Big Boy' game unless BH gets injured or stinks it up and fans revolt. We all know the Les Modus Operandi.......................

    I've been watching Jim Chaney, and his offenses/QB's for what, seven years now? I've yet to become convinced developing QB's is his forte.

    That said, Richt and Bobo have a pretty good history on evaluating potential with signal callers.

    I've always loved them. They weren't the greatest band, but their music always puts me in a good mood, even though most of their songs sound the same. Regardless, yes that is a great tune.

    Soooo Harris will lead us? Sounds good. I'll get back to you in October.

    How is the clock ran during the LSU spring games?

    They've been using a running clock (until last four minutes of each half) for years now and I don't recall the broadcast cutting out before the game is concluded (watched it on WatchESPN so that may have a bearing.)
