A Retrospective

We've been doing this blog thing for about 4 1/2 months now through slow off-season lack-of-news. Despite that, there is a LOT of content in the archives that, in my unending egotism (notice the use of the royal "We" above), I consider well worth reading. Because we have a number of new readers these days, I thought I'd link back to some of my key earlier writings, much like when The Simpsons do a clip show.

• My introduction
• My informative series on the basics of recruiting
• A criticism of the standard passer rating and a new formulation of a passing statistic, and an analysis of last year's SEC quarterbacks under this new system.
• The continuing series on Bama and Saban, which I think are critical, but very fair.
• An attempt to do the same for running backs and rushing teams what I did for passers.
• Post #1 about the "Dismissed Three", followed by Post #2, where I suggest that better players need not be treated the same as lesser players.
• A brief statistical analysis of Auburn's recruiting and results, wherein I conclude that Tommy Tuberville is probably the best coach in the SEC.
• Poseur's post on Jamarcus Russell versus Brady Quinn.
• The "underachiever" meme
• Media biases in the NFL draft.
• Comments on PETA and Mike V's death.
• Why it is not necessary to boot Ryan Perrilloux off the team.
• The series on 2007 recruits. Don't worry. This is not strictly biographical information. While there is biographical information, much of this series uses the incoming recruits and their stories as starting points to discuss larger, more general issues.
• My account of getting kicked off of TigerDroppings.
• The posts written by my guest-blogger, Poseur. His own, only partially-sports-related blog can be found here.

And finally, I leave you with the infamous Coach Orgeron song. Yaw yaw yaw.
