I guy I worked with in Texas who liked BBQ as much as I do said in a Texas drawl: "Ya know the worst barbecue I ever had was still pretty damn good." My motto for the past 35 years.

McD's sponsored the boob building for ten years because of 3 weeks of the Olympics, which they were an official advertiser. They never intended to keep the rights after the initial period. At least someone at GT was smart enough to get the 10 years.

oh well. 🙁

6A winner in 100 (10.35) and 400. Second in 200 (20.9).

many of us thought we would be at least a .500 team before if we just had any common sense on the sideline. Talent gap is one thing, a extra 2-3 L's due to bad preparation and game management/in-game adjustments is another.

Probably Joe Ham on the road against FSU.

FSU's D was so dominate they actually put their own qb out for the season in a spring game. As I recall, that event basically stopped qbs from getting hit by their own folks.

27-25 at home turns into 52-25. That should not happen ever.

I am in the camp of getting the right coordinators, but we need to spend the extra $ to double or even triple the staff working on recruiting.

Based on what I have seen in the games, I believe it comes back to how we have been operating in practice. He has all the physical ability and some real zip on the ball. He also stares down his primary target including passes to the back in the flat almost every play. The linebackers and dbs...

Exactly right. I wonder how many football players got concussions.

Back in the late seventies, the intramural soccer was played in winter quarter on the only artificial turf on campus: Grant Field. The freshman running class was also on the track and field. Seemed pretty cool at the time.

GT was 8-5 in 1991 because of 21 fumbles and 18 interceptions given up - 39 turnovers in 13 games. There was a lot of talent to overcome it. Incredibly: Big Play Clay had 9 picks by himself out 18 taken for our D.

O'Leary was great at "Lunch with George" at AMC before home games. Could not do it today with all the recording cell phones.

If our new QB coach has Sims looking at someone else and not staring down where he will throw it - we will be much better and I expect a big year with fewer turnovers. He has enough physical ability to be successful.
