    Virginia Postgame

    Therein lies the problem. You can gush about CGC as much as you want. And I am not necessarily bashing CGC, but he needs to prove he is a great game day coach. Tech does not need another Kirby Smart. Great recruiter, poor game decisions. I try to cut him some slack because he is still...

    Virginia Postgame

    Special team play was supposed to be "special" this year. This game was a disaster for special teams. When Thomas fair caught inside the 5, (much less the 10), there must have been a huge brain fart or the coaches told him to fair catch. And missed the final instructions on not fair catching...

    Here is our problem on the Swarm

    I would argue for a college team, talent at quarterback is the most important factor in any offense. I was at the Florida Vandy game this past weekend. My opinion was that the Florida quarterback was competent, but with an "elite" quarterback they would be a playoff contender. Look back on...

    Here is our problem on the Swarm

    I enjoy the Swarm because both sides of almost every argument imaginable is dissected. Especially the posters that do homework and add statistics and data to the mix. It is also interesting to see which rabbit hole the discussion veers off into. Although, I doubt many minds are changed...

    From a student’s perspective

    I recall when the south stands were the bottom of the horseshoe. Bo Jackson ran around the right corner for a TD. The south endzone was full of Auburn fans. Bo was faster than Hershel. I also recall going as a student to Knoxville and Tech beating a superior Tennessee team in the rain...

    Geoff Collins - Head Coaching Numbers

    There are some smart people on this board. I had to look that one up. I'm an engineer.

    Geoff Collins - Head Coaching Numbers

    Players or coaches. There are two decidedly different groups on this board as to why the team has had such a rough season. (And of course those that blame everything on CPJ) I fall more into the "coaches" group. For two reasons. First, I drank the kool aide and believed CGC was going to...

    Not sure you have talked to any of the big money donors. But love your enthusiasm.

    CGC's Pitt Postgame Press Conference

    We may hold him to too high a standard. I am glad he plays for Tech. His performance is one of the highlights of the year. He has had some of the most beautiful punts. You really have to be at the stadium to appreciate the heights and distance.

    Let’s talk...IMO this needs to happen...

    Gentlemen. Expectations on this board have gone down quickly as the year progresses. I really do not understand why the new coaching staff is given a pass for the abysmal season so far. The coaches are paid six and seven figure salaries to win football games. They are responsible for...

    I really did laugh out loud at this one.

    Pitt Postgame

    Considering Tech is last in scoring in the ACC, not sure what point you are trying to make. Oliver and Mason are two of the best, (elite) players on offense. I know you are trying to convince the board that Pnude is doing a great job, but I have not been convinced yet. Mason got his...

    CGC's Pitt Postgame Press Conference

    As the season has progressed and especially after all of the penalties on the kick off return team against Pitt, I might have to agree with you. But not gonna happen... Collins uses special teams as part of his culture. Which I hope will continue to improve. Punt blocking comes to mind...

    CGC's Pitt Postgame Press Conference

    I do not question the coaching staff's ability to motivate the team. The players give great (elite) effort. And whether some will admit it or not, there is some great (elite) talent on the field. And seems they have totally bought into the new system/program. There are however some...

    Is college football near the end as we know it.

    Seems clear to me we have crossed the line between "offered a scholarship to play college athletics" to a "paid profession". All of the discussion of taxes, unions, etc. whether you are for or against seem a bit superfluous to me. This new ruling by California and the NCAA finally...
