it was going to be a terrible day when one of our guys, who was carrying the US flag as he ran out on to the field on hero's day, trips on Buzz and falls to the ground, dropping the flag to the turf in the process. To compound matters, he got up and ran away, leaving the flag on the ground...

express long term opinions based on short term observations. So, I have been holding off for a while, preferring to reflect on a larger data sample. I thought about posting this last week, so please don't think that my following comments are based on the single, most recent win. I am starting...

I have hesitated to post at all really, mostly because I don't like making rash judgements nor simply venting to keep my snow-flake from melting. Without a doubt, as a person who loves TECH, there has been some pain to endure thus far this season. Pain is weakness leaving the body, or so I have...

Fresh off the brand new hire of CGC, we are like the team running out on to the field in a big game, jumping around the sideline, smacking helmets, and generally getting each other excited to play. All that over-the-top energy, however, usually lasts about a series before you just settle down...

When reviewing the VT replay a second time and truly appreciating how much quality physical blocking our ABs were doing, it made me realize how important getting to the MIKE is for our offense. CPJ talks constantly about no penalties and no fumbles as being the barometers for our success on...

That you saw a CFB team hang 49 points on an opponent without having a single play go over 16 yards? I wouldn't know where to start to research something like that. However, I am going to go out on a limb and say I have never seen it. Does it scream amazing execution?

To be honest, I had one of these segments planned for last game as well, but after I reviewed the replay and started to write, I decided I wasn't going to publish something that derogatory towards the players in question. It was a really bad game and I decided to leave it as that. Fortunately...

I had already watched the replay of the Louisville game once and wanted to watch it again. However, this time I wanted a special task to keep it interesting. I don't have a DVR any more, so watching every play over and over isn't very time efficient. I decided to pick a single player on each...

Did anybody notice that on our final play, on the untimed down, that USF had 12 men on the field to stop us? Not that it matters in the outcome of the game. No flag. A fitting end to a poorly officiated game from my vantage point. Call me nuts, but I still want those 7 points, even if we cannot...

PITT has now played 3 well respected opponents. Yes, I include us in that category. Every game is different and transitive property doesn't mean much in CFB, but I thought it would be pretty neat to see how GT compared to PSU and OKST against this one opponent. Both of them are top 20 if not top...

to throw your way. A this point in the season with 27% of the schedule completed: 38 total opponent drives defended, 19 three and outs 34 opponent 3rd downs defended, 9 converted First Downs: TECH 75, opp 43 Rushing Yards: TECH 1181, Opp 301 Ave per rush: TECH 5.8, opp 3.8 Ave yards per...

What do we make of it? With every game that passes by the accumulated season stat sheet, especially by common opponents, we get a little bit clearer picture of what we have for a TECH FB team. Going into this week, if I were to ask who has the better defense, UF or TECH? I feel pretty sure the...

allowed on defense. 2017 YTD 9/21 (38%), 2016 for the season (49%) I know it is still early, but if we are looking for glimmers of hope in regards to our defense, this is an important stat. Last year, we had a terrible time getting teams off the field. 11% improvement is a significant number...

the year 2014 at this same time, when most of us were out of our minds with anticipation for what a Justin Thomas led offense would be like for us and whether we would be any good? The situation for me is very familiar. Hopefully the outcome will be as well. Every team is different, not only...

Which player on the team has to make the biggest jump? In my mind it is Brandon Adams. He was the only DL last year to get meaningful push on the interior and hold his ground consistently. Many will look for a QB in order to answer the original question, but for my money, a firm interior of the...

have a similar skill set to Marcus Marshall? From one short viewing it sure looks to me like they are similar players toting the rock. For me, it kind of eases my brain a little because it was nice having that change of pace at the BB position, specifically one that can run away from defenders...

After watching the Patriots roll up 500 yards in the air on a ton of throws to slot guys, I got to thinking. What do guys like Endleman and Amendola have on JT in terms of quicks etc? I heard JT was trying out as a CB, but why not a slot guy? Who is quicker in short spaces with great direction...

his career is over and his resume complete, where does Justin Thomas stand in the history of GT QBs? Before even beginning to discuss this, I would like to first thank Justin for choosing GT, working his butt off, carrying the team at times, always supporting his teammates, always downplaying...

were those BB runs for us late in the 4th? In particular, MM's 4 broken tackle run up the right side for about 13 yards, and DM's TD where he single handedly drove 4 of their would be tacklers 3 yards back into the EZ and they still didn't get him down. Those young men were MOTIVATED, no? Holy cow.

As soon as the the game ended things were in a total raucus at my house. We were jumping up and down screaming in a mosh pit. Then in a fit of spontaneity, I ran down my stairs and out to the front porch and ripped my GT flag pole out of its pinnings and ran with it up and down my street waving...
