I'm not sure if the attendance by students is somewhat driven by just how well the team is doing won/loss wise. I'm sure student attneance must increase, but I'm just not sure how much. I had season tickets when George O was coach, but I can't really remember whether student attendance went up...

It costs $50/month plus whatever premium channels you add. They have a very good selection of channels in the basic $50 package, but no ACCN commitment yet. Haven't seen anything yet that indicates whether it is likely they will add it or not. Most Samsung & LG smart TV's can load an app that...

Hope that we don't see 4 freshmen on the field the first two times we kickoff to Clemson, like we did last year at USF.

If he has a middle of the road offense they've done a good job. If he has a middle of the road defense, then he absolutely is a miracle worker.

I was being sarcastic. I actually was agreeing with you. Basically was saying that it's been argued that the defense was weak everywhere except the DBs, and now we are having to look for transfer DBs, because we have only one CB that can play tight coverage (Tre Swilling). I certainly don't...

They sure came out in droves to welcome him back at their spring game! :)

Wait, I can't believe what you are saying. Of course, the prior staff did a wonderful job recruiting, particularly on the defensive side. Sure, we have a few weaknesses, but just at DL, ILB, and OLB, but we are STRONG in the defensive backfield. Or are we? Why are we trying to find transfers...

Can't wait!! Will be there with my wife

I agree 100%. I have seen the argument for years that it didn't matter what our offense was, because our scout team prepared the defense for the opponent. When you consider that the scout team was almost totally made up of players recruited for the 3O that argument just doesn't wash. When you...

Done

I'm not saying that he was not somewhat under rated, but he was recognized as one of the stars of the team. Al Ciraldo constantly referred to him as "big play Willie Clay". I think he played in the NFL for several years. I'm sure it was just one of perhaps several reasons that Bobby Ross...

Eric Wilcox Lucius Sanford Kent Hill Shawn Jones - I know that Shawn is often mentioned because of the National Championship, but I don't think he has ever been given the credit he deserves. He took over and willed a win at the end of so many games when we were trailing. Henry Johnson LB in...

I'm not sure, but I would bet that this picture was taken at the Tech vs USC(w) game in 1969. The game ended up being a heart breaking loss for Tech. We were ahead until very late in the game. The final killer was when Tech tried to hand off the ball on a kickoff very late in the fourth...

He was a very nice guy, but I am surprised to see the smile. I can't remember anything about him on the Bob Hope Christmas show, but I was surprised at the big smile. He wasn't sullen, but he was a pretty serious guy all of the time.

One of my most memorable players is Eric Wilcox who played MLB from 1966 through 1968. He was possibly the most physical player that I can remember on the flats, and definitely had as much heart as any I have ever seen anywhere. Unfortunately, my most vivid memory of Eric was the 1968 UGA game...
