I really enjoyed your film analysis and comments. It was great for me as an intense, but lacking knowledge, fan. I noticed a couple of things. Between Burden and Devine we may yet get close to the combo of Burden and Mason. Devine is showing much improvement in stamina and technique. Burden...

Maybe 48-17 Tech. We won't learn much about how good we are, but it will give some playing time to backups in 2nd half.

I don't post on here too often, but I really enjoyed your analysis. I have thought for a long time that we have good, solid, players who are true SAs and represent the school well. I am proud that they represent my school. They work hard and give it their all. BUT, we have a severe lack of...

Just read from FTRS that he just did not get into the rotation. He's not on the two deep, but is expected to play some this year. Must be a pretty big jump for him, maybe bigger than he/they expected.

He was not listed on the 2 deep depth chart, or listed as having participated in the BC game at all. I thought he would be eligible immediately and was being counted on to contribute at the start of fall practice.

I have been trying to find out what happened to this JUCO transfer. Was he eligible this year ?

This is what I thought on Friday. Missed opportunities by both teams were typical of a first game. As CPJ said after the game, the BC defense will probably be one of the best we will face all year....they literally had 2 months to prepare for us......and we found a way to win. Like all first...

Well not to break my arm patting myself on the back, but I called this one. I had said all along that it would be very close, because BC was very tough against the run. We had a fantastic gutsy drive to win it. I am sooo relieved ! It seemed many of us thought we could move the ball on them at...

Really, what's he going to say ? It's all just "player speak ", preseason fluff. Until our current receiver corp is able to get some separation , with some sense of urgency, on a consistent basis, it puts an awful lot of pressure on our young offensive line. Every completed pass cannot be a "...

I think it will be a frustrating game for us, kinda like playing Dook. BC defense is able to mostly stop the dive, trying to force us to pass. That will be largely successful due to a lack of receivers who can create separation for us. Because the BC offense is only average, the game will be a...

I think it will be an ugly one, decided by a field goal. Good guys 13-10. If, and it's a big if, we can complete a few passes it might not be that close. I don't think we will be successful with long drives this early in the season due to our lack of depth and inexperience on the OL, plus the BC...

Presidents of many schools , I feel, are slowly coming to the realization that athletics is one of the best, if not THE best, advertisements for their school . They might as well consider writing off many costs involved with running their athletic departments as advertising. Successful...

sorry, took too long .......I was just going to say that being a smart *** is not the most important thing, but it is one more thing that creates an impression of the program. And not in a good way, IMO.

You misunderstand my meaning. There is a lot of room between smart *** and fairy dust farts. Coaches are constantly creating impressions of their programs. It's a sales job in a lot of ways. Tech's football product ain't exactly the hottest ticket in town. Sure a smart

I agree with a lot of what you said here. What is with the attitude ? Who is he disgusted with - the press ? , the coaches ? , the players ? It's not worthy of someone representing a program , and being damn well paid to do it. We all have parts of our jobs we would prefer not to do, but we have...
