  1. Bobby Dodd Renovation in the NE Stands

    I started in 2015 in the upper north behind the goal post and nearly every year since moved closer and closer to a much lower seat and better angle on the west edge of section 218, now gone. My season seats have been relocated back up high and much farther from the field. Not happy but...

    The portal was a little exciting in the beginning, like getting free stuff. But I am now beginning to see how too much free stuff can hurt your depth and experience. We 'fixed" the DL for 2024 with the portal but in 2025 we lose those portal players and Biggers and Scott, leaving only Lockett as...

    When do the late portal players and freshmen report to the campus? It must be soon. I count about 19 +/- a couple.

    My opinion based on limited info: On defense we are light in the numbers at Nickel and SDE and very light in experienced depth at CB. By moving Cruz and adding Height we have much improved WDE. SDE will at least need fresmen Boyd and/or LLOH to step up. Flexable DE players Scott and Gore will...
  6. Your First GT QB

    Wade Mitchell and Toppy Van were my first, but Lothridge is my favorite. Lothridge was gold on third down.

    I noticed today the roster was updated to remove portal players Kelly, Semo, C Brown, Gee, and Blackstrain, but Fortson was still on the roster. Ellis was also removed from the roster. Any change of status with Fortson?
  8. Only 115 short days until kickoff...

    Tech had several advantages to picking up the ball and returning it. The location of the ball made it safe to pick up. Several Tech players were aware that Austin picked up the ball and this awareness preceded most if not all the FSU players. At least 3 Tech players with speed (one safety and...

    Thoughts: You can certainly play with a roster of 85 as you typically only play about 50 players with meaningful playing time. Without other considerations I like this proposal The 85 limit appears to help make the lwr/mdl tier schools more competitive but.... With less players to fund the...

    I agree that without long term injury we are OK. Sylvain is a big issue as Robinson is the lone backup with experience at SDE and the N only has two players with little experience as well in Daniels and the Soph Gibbs. Shelley can play N in passing situations. We just shored up the safety...

    We still have more than a half dozen schlorships left by my count unless CBK wants to hold on for late developments or to promote some walk-ons like Stockton, Elko, or Adams for example. I do like what we have gotten from the portal so far but a couple more big guys on D would be nice.

    From the current Ramblin Wreck Roster there appears to be only 70 +/- schlorships + 4 schlorship portals coming in: Van De Berg, Davis, Height, and Tobe. 81 seems quite high. Based on Spring performance look out for players like Stockton, Elko, and Adams for example to possibly get...
  13. Bobby Dodd Renovation in the NE Stands

    I took track in the summer of 62 when the track circled under the north stands. We had class on the south west sideline of BD, sometimes in the grass on the field and sometimes on the track. Class was 1 PM in June and you had to compete against the clock for a grade. Typical GT at the time to...
  14. Luke Benson UDFA, LA Chargers

    Luke had some trouble catching the ball his first year here but showed some blocking grit. He improved his catching his second year and by his third year he was a good blocker and I do not believe he had a pass drop as a senior. He was not injury prone or penalty prone. I thought through...

    By my guess we still have a dozen or so openings. We have picked up OL Pearson, DL Cohen, S Davis, and DE Height with Pearson being a walk-on and Cohen a PWO? My priorities would be DT, DE, N, LB, CB, TE.. DTs are definitely most critical. With Marshall, a solid freshman coming, and Van De...
  16. Offseason Media 2024

    (my words as I best remember) Singleton in a recent interview said he was running track in the near term but uncertain how long he would run track as it requires more and different practice. He said football practice was a priority and he would see how it went to run track without all the track...
  17. Spring Practice

    Agree with the good performance about Taylor. He will be a star in the future. I saw some good corner plays made by freshmen Fannklin (especislly) and Dowdell. I liked the play of freshman LB Butler. Riggs at RT seemed to do well for a freshman. Backup safeties Gee and Seymore made some plays...

  19. 2024 Football Portal

    That's 4 DEs ready to play and a promising Fr on board and a Fr coming and 3 DTs ready to play if you add Van De Berg with added possibilities of Adams (walk-on) and maybe Rochell (walk-on) and a Fr coming. We need big help from the portal at DT and several 2025 recruits for the future at DE...
