The CheckerBoard

Can u ask s boogie why he blocked me on the twitters? I've never even tweeted him before

How does the poster rating system work here? My score keeps dropping, but I've looked through my last week of posts and can't find one downvote, but I have numerous upvotes on a lot of posts.

Not that big a deal, I'm just lost as to how it calculates and why it never goes up.

1) where do you see our good friend DaRick being drafted?

2) Do you ever see an SEC coach ever trying the triple option offense?

3) Are you somewhat surprised no one has transfered yet?

This why I can never get past 95. I say one thing that is less than sunshine and I get d'ved.

There is a famous story about Jimmy Carter when he was President. He would keep track of who was using the White House tennis courts at any time. Despite the fact this had absolutely nothing to do with the success of his job, he still did it. If Derek Dooley was president, would he be keeping track of who was on the White House tennis courts?

1. Probably ... Conklin the most, honestly. Just a really good dude. But I also liked Chaney, Pittman and Coiner a lot. Just a lot of good dudes on that staff. It's a shame they didn't win more games.

2. Tough to say. Pittman's guys were the most vocal, but I know the secondary guys liked Ansley and Conklin a lot.

3. Too many to count. One of the most underrated was when he said, "You know, a lot of people like to say, 'There's no such thing as a dumb question,' but that's not really true." Rommel was gold. Offering a bribe for the first overweight player was good. The hilariously awful things he would yell at his kickers and punters from time to time on the practice field were solid gold. As I said ... too many to count. Hope the guy lands on TV somewhere.

4. Maggitt, for sure. And Randolph. All the O-line guys. Watch out for Nathan Peterman, Drae Bowles and Justin King at some point, too. Just tremendous kids, those three. There are more, too. I actually really like a vast majority of the guys Dooley brought in from a character standpoint. He understood that, for the most part, and got it right.

5. LaDarrell McNeil will be an absolute stud. I think those young receivers might be better than people think. Dan Gray will be a good player, IMO. And I really, really like Kenny Bynum. Was a flat-out recruiting steal, IMO. And as you'll see below, I really like Nate Peterman.

6. Pretty darn talented, IMO. Very strong, pretty darn athletic and spins the ball really well. It just looks good coming out of his hand. Strong arm, too. And a high-character kid. I just like him a lot, and I wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a very good QB, especially in this system, at some point.

7. I'd rather jab a rusty spork in my eye than do either of those things.

8. Not yet, but I'm sure we'll get there.
