Fake Field Goal Legal?
Thursday, 27 September 2007

Concerning the fake FG by LSU, why wasn't the play called dead when the holder had possession and his knee was down? I have always been under the impression that if the ball is kicked while being held, the play is still live. However, in this case, the ball was not kicked. It was lateraled by a player whose knee was on the ground. How is that not a dead ball? ~ From Chuck in Albany, OR

Retirement
Wednesday, 29 August 2007
Is this going to be your last Coaching job? If so, about how many more years do you intend to coach before you retire. (I personally think you have another 20 or so years in you...lol) The last time we had so much hope and excitement in Gamecock Country was the George Rogers and Joe Morrison era. Also, will your show be aired on here this year? There are a lot of Gamecock fans here with me in Afghanistan so hopefully we will at least be able to see your weekly show. GO GAMECOCKS!! ~ William Shelley in Camp Alamo, Afghanistan
