Seriously another great MSR. I made the mistake of clicking the link to the Youtube video. I have to admit though, it was hilarious. Thanks Wes, er, MSR.

Ok, Wes, I'll bite. Leaving aside the taking of a shot on 3rd down (you could argue that point forever), I have a problem with the Beast against Bama on 4th. I think running out of a formation that gurantees a run and pretty much guarantees a run to the right against arguably the most athletic/talented/LARGEST defense in college football is a mistake. We've proven we can run the ball out of the I-formation during the last three games or so and I think you've gotta make a team like Bama respect at least a couple options on a critical play like that. Of course, it'll work sometimes - AJ and the OLine are um..well, Beasts. But I think giving the defense such a chance to lay their ears back and come after you without any hesitation lowers your odds of success in a critical situation.

A really good article, again! I really appreciate your honest and the straight forward manner to your commentary and writing. Since you made it clear you "are not a Tennessee fan", which FB team do you personally support?

I save my fandom for baseball, soccer and hockey. Cubs, Arsenal and the Preds. And 'Merica, of course.

Is it a coincidence that the sports that you're a biggest fan of are the one's you'll least likely be asked to give coverage to?

No, not really.
I like to be a fan when I can be a fan, and I have no interest in covering the teams I enjoy cheering for.

Wow RT @A_Jude Chip Kelly: "If you can't trust your players on Twitter... you probably can't trust them on 3rd down." (H/T @russellyt)
