Funny. The Big 10 gets their tails handed to them by the SEC and you are here running your mouth? Alabama's last two bowl games against Big 10 opponents....2-0. Took down Michigan and OSU both.

Yawn, I'm bored. Wake me when you are relevant.

I'm not understanding how you could possibly accuse Georgia Tech of recent success.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

You'd be hard-pressed to make a case for past success, for that matter, but recent success is more of a joke.

Hard-pressed to make a case for PAST success? Not really. Recent...I agree completely though.

Come on, give Tech just a bit of props for that good year with Bobby Ross...

I'm sure you're bored with the Big 10. So is everyone else. Buckeyes fans do not understand relevance.

I hope you don't think Bama has been relevant recently.....

....I would consider being in the NC game mildly relevant btw.

Keep running your mouth in other people's conversations. We'll see just how well GT fairs in the years to come.

It humors me to see how many haters there are for Bama football. Don't fault us for being proud of what our team has and will accomplish. Bama has a rich history that IS college football. Fault yourselves for being jealous and coming up with reasons to try and lessen the greatness and tradition that IS Alabama Crimson Tide Football.

...John Heisman, Bobby Dodd, and a little bit with O'Leary.

Heisman coached at the University of Akron in 1893. 1904-1919 at GT.

As you would say, "this is the present".

Dude....you don't see ME talking about how awesome Georgia Tech is/will be. The haters are because all of you are the same. You live in the past and think that because you WERE good, you ARE good.

That's what amusing.

Amazing how many tickets we sell....consistantly in bowl games...

We ARE the best in history! "ARE" is present grammar too...

Georgia Tech is consistently in bowl games too. Doesn't make them good or anything. As a matter of fact, 11 in a row to Bama's 4 in a row.

We have a higher winning percentage too By the way, I'm not arguing that Bama was good a long time ago. "We ARE the best "in history"" simply means that HISTORICALLY you're at the top. The past doesn't mean much these days buddy. The game is COMPLETELY different than it was then. Past success=/=recent success. I'll show you how it works. GT was 403-188 from 1904-1966, winning three national championships. Those wins and championships are on the books, because they happened. They don't expire. We don't, however, run around talking about how that sixty year stretch of good football makes us near the top presently. Why? Because it doesn't.

Relevance?... 7 National Titles and 7 Heisman Trophies sure spells relevance to me.

As for being bored with the Big Ten... I guess that may be true but then you would have to be bored with every other conference as well considering the Big 10 has a winning record against them... including the SEC. Being from Ohio I would figure someone would have taught you all this by now.

Then petition for your little GT to join the SEC and play some real teams. Take a poll around the U.S. Bama IS a better team no matter what their record the year prior was.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
