Temple was voted out of Big East in ‘01. https://temple-news.com/temple-football-ousted-from-big-east/

How viable is dropping teams? I would love that but seems like it would either not be possible or have some serious stipulations. I understand it has happened before. Would be interested if It could be negotiated for Duke to drop football while participating in all other sports yet still...

1. Sims 2. K. White 3. Blackburn 4. D. Smith 5. J. Williams / Quick (not sure they’ll play side by side. Not sure Quick will be a good player. Just need Williams to elevate his game this year and somebody to step up at guard) 6. Ivey 7. Biggers 8. Tatum I’m playing this game Slugboy, but it...

I’ll take it, he should at least be hungry to succeed. Did a good job at ND and a not so good job at Tulane. Who knows. Go Jackets

You know, I saw that too. But I don’t know how you judge college - pros. Joe Brady was considered a prodigy for the saints, went to LSU and Joe Burrow literally doubled his passing yards from 2800 - 5600, won a Heisman and maybe had the greatest season of all-time. Now he’s the OC at Carolina...

I’d like to show a little love to CDP. He had the Cahoonas to take a job very few OCs in the country wanted. And if that job wasn’t challenging enough, the two most promising WR recruits (Gowdy and Blackburn) we landed never stepped on the field for him (RIP Bryce). His OL never gelled for him...

Echoing what’s being said, hate it for these coaches and their families. Staff seems to be full of good folks that work hard. That being said, I hope CGC goes out and gets at least a couple guys that will absolutely chew your tail out. Our best coaches over the last 25 years have not shied away...

JP is one of my all-time favorites. Love his skill-set, style, and attitude and in 2019 when he was the feature back and could get into a real rhythm toting the rock he balled out. He’s a real talent and I know he’s the type of guy that wants to win more than anything and I hate that we weren’t...

Throwing over the middle in general is difficult and some QBs have a knack for it, some struggle with it. It’s common for QBs at the Power 5 level not to be able to do it and it has less to do with arm talent and more to do with having to process more. LBs under, safeties over, corners trailing...

Good for our guys. I’m not going to lose my mind over winning a close game. We have a long ways to go and we’ve known that since week 1 so you have to enjoy them when they come. Happy for Adonicas, he doesn’t get a lot of opportunities and he made 2 clutch plays. Probably the biggest plays of...

For this year: 1. Underachieving OL 2. Sims’ decision making 3. Young DL For the future. Our OL. We’re losing 3 maybe 4 of our better ones at season’s end. Haven’t seen much from the young guys outside of J Williams. Best case scenario we land a quality transfer or 2 and then see Franklin...

Juanyeh and Tariq have filled the alleys this season, made a lot of plays in the run game around the LOS, especially juanyeh. I was concerned Howell would keep them and our other safeties in check and our D would struggle to stop the run without their support. Credit to our DL and LBs, they...

With the exception of getting lined up against NIU, our D has played well this year. The last 2 weeks have been fun to watch, I can’t remember the last time I had confidence in that unit. Hats off to our guys and CAT and Co. for its improvement. In modern college football it’s tough to do it...

Starting at about the 11:00 mark in the KSU game, he hits 4 passes in one drive over the middle. 3 are short throws, well delivered. Receivers made plays after the catch.

Rural Georgia has never supported Tech well, but for the few of us that do, it’s getting harder and harder. I personally know 3 Tech fans that have converted to UGA. One was a former season ticket holder (while a student at UGA). It’s the social aspect for all 3. When nearly every friend/family...
