The Blue Board

I think teaching proper technique is important. If that is emphasized I think we might start to see a decline in concussions. Also, there is a lot of emphasis on having lots of padding for helmets but in some ways couldn't you argue that encourages people to lead with their heads more? It almost seems like you could make an argument that a less padded helmet would make people less likely to lead with their helmet. Although I played hockey instead of football so I could be way off in my thinking.

Although hockey is a different sport than football, I was able to skip the squirt level completely and play peewee even though I was younger. I never suffered a concussion, and I think a large part of it had to do with learning how to check properly, and put myself in positions where I wouldn't get drilled either (keeping your head up is important as I found out early on ). However, this might not be applicable since in football it's a lot easier to get blindsided by a hit.

Played well against us in ann arbor a couple years ago too. I don't watch much, but I was impressed with him.

I loved Nolan Richardson's teams. Sounds like it will be another good game. I will warn you, however, we are going to be a much more explosive and balanced team on offense this year. Your defense is going to have its hands full.

David Dawson is such a headcase. He is now tweeting that he could possibly a change at the "top"

He has bust written all over him.

I think he regrets his decision now.

I think if they want to reduce concussions at the pro level clamp down and ban steroids.

I just don't think the human body was meant to take hits from people with the speed and strength of these guys.

Same with hockey, guys are skating 30+ mph now...the human body just wasn't designed to take those kinds hits.

I don't even follow SEC basketball. Outside of UofF who are the good teams?

Arkansas and UofF are typically the best teams in the SEC right?

Beilen got to get the players settled down tomorrow so their emotions don't get the best of them in their rivalry game with Slippery Rock.

Part of me wants to put on my tinfoil hat and say that Calipari is paying recruits...unfortunately I have no evidence of that.

They are so bad at football I forget they are part of the SEC.

He thought Hoke would still honor his scholarship if he visited the SEC even though Hoke told him that he couldn't do that. Personally, I hope we offer him again just because teens make stupid decisions and he may be regretting what he did.

I think he and Bosch would get in a fight. Bosch already called him out about wanting to do this sort of thing once. When recruits decommit it sucks, but at least the two we've had (assuming Conley goes elsewhere) have been at positions where we have other talented players.

SEC basketball isn't really worth following lol

You have Kentucky... Florida, recently... and then you have a mash up of Miss State, Bama, and Arkansas.

Back in the mid to late 90's Kentucky and Arkansas went back and forth when Arkansas left the SWC and joined the SEC. We've had some pretty good players: Corliss Williamson, Joe Johnson, Ronnie Brewer, etc.

I hope our current coach, Mike Anderson (Nolan's number one assistant), can take us back to the glory days lol.
