I don't think you're correct. From what I can find, ESPNU is only in standard def on Dish.  Hmmmm. I just flipped over and it has a big HD next to the ESPNU.

For one of those rare times, I agree with you.  By the way, I am probably one of the few in Knoxville watching Army/Air Force instead of Bammer/Coonasses. Army is playing really well today, and is tied at 7 at the half.

Coaching, and the fact that Kiffin stayed with him, boosted his confidence. David Reeves has also done a good job with his mechanics, and Kiffin has done a good job with the scheme, taking away the whole field on many occasions, giving him a simpler, but effective offense to run. This in turn has helped his timing, and in turn, his accuracy. His confidence has risen, and now he's gone from being a liability, to an effective SEC QB.
Effective, yes, but he still has his moments. He made a couple of ill advised throws last week that South Carolina couldn't hold on to. He was fortunate that he didn't have a couple of picks. That said, he is remarkedly better in his decision making that he was last year and early on this season.

I read Vinnie's post as well. Maybe that was the shot in the arm to allow him to relax (?). He does seem to be able to put the last play behind him.
I think there is probably some truth to that. We've said all along that Crompton has all of the physical tools that a good SEC QB needs, but his problems were all in his head. It appears to me that he is much more at peace with himself right now.

He was here when the Norsemen sailed over from Norway too.......
Yep. I was on the boat with Eric The Red, or Eric The Great, or some guy named Eric, anyway.
