That's it...I am mortgaging my house, emptying the nest egg, selling my portfolio which I need to do anyway, and betting the entire wad on FSU to win and cover.

I was sitting in the north stands and as I dimly recall there was a brawl in the end zone for some reason. Do you remember that? Great game for fans...not so much for coaches.

May have been against Rice. I think it ended up being a tie game followed by a pretty good brawl at the end.

Unfortunately, I date myself with this one. Billy Lothridge. Runner up to Roger Staubach in the Heisman voting. Three year starter. Beat UGA every year. Architect of what Dodd called his greatest victory 7-6 over number one Alabama. Dodd thought he was slow but he could run when he had...

Funny you say that. I just watched a game from 2001. Thursday night game in Atlanta against UNC. UNC had Julius Peppers and an experienced secondary along with the usual talent at linebacker. They had won 5 in a row with Herbstreit and Coach singing their praises. Tech had George Godsey...

Well, they have all those national championships and they always have talent on both sides of the ball. UNC always has talent though perhaps not as much. NC State has a good coach who has been patiently putting the pieces together. There are good teams in the ACC but there are just about as...

I spent this week watching several games from last year including Clemson but also Bowling Green, Miami, UNC, Wake Forest, and Duke. Every time I watched a game my bewilderment increased. Miami had clearly better players, more yardage, and all kinds of opportunities to put that game away and...

Another question for the experts. We lost one starter, the guy from the Ivy League school that started at guard. Correct? How did he perform in comparison to the other four who are back this year? In other words is his loss significant because he was a good player.

That man that transferred from Middle Tennessee State, Rutledge? His high school bio was something else. If I read this correctly, he was all state in three sports football, basketball (had over 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds) and in track setting some kind of a record in the shot put and he...

I would not have expected there to be but maybe the quarterback and an offensive lineman. Kind of hard to get recognition with 17 teams in the conference stretching from coast to coast. Certainly not anyone on defense.

Damn Stech, one of these days your wife is going to read this blog and she will give you the business end of rolling pin on your noggin.

Duke hired Manny as their new coach? I find that hard to believe. He is the same coach that lost to FIU in a game that featured someone hiring a plane with a banner that said "Fire Manny". The Miami fans hated him for some reason. He got more flack than Mark Richt, Al Golden, and Randy...

TFG could sell sand to an Arab. He is similar to Ron Zook when he was at Florida. The only real difference is that Zook beat UGA 2 of the 3 years he was in Gainesville and recruited like crazy so much so that his recruiting classes were the foundation for Urban Meyer's national championship...

It would be just about the most Tech thing ever if that guy found whatever missing coach link he needed to become the GOAT defensive coordinator at a school that has wasted a bunch of defensive talent over the years.

Seems about right. Surprised that UNC is 8th. Their talent is always good. Besides the Tar Heel defense will be "effort based" this year. Not sure about FSU without the quarterback but the talent is there. Clemson and Miami should be in the mix. Is NC State really that good? Haven't seen...

Question for experts: Of the three defensive linemen who left: Kennard, Douse, and Kelley which one will be the hardest to replace? I have watched just about all the 2023 games paying close attention to the defense. It seems to my untrained and decidedly amateurish eyes that Kennard was one...

That seems about right. If you are not serious about football and not winning well, it eventually becomes a problem. That said, there have been many a time when I was at Grant Field and it was an absolute mad house. Years ago when FSU first joined the ACC, a Tallahassee news paper reporter...

Boy, you ain't lived until you have been squeezed half to death at Florida Field. Somehow they manage to get 80,000 plus people in that place with seats about, oh let's be generous, 12" of sitting room. Cramped is not the word for it. When I was going to the Florida games with my buddy who...

Can't say I blame him. There were times when he was probably thinking, if we don't score on just about every other possession we are going to lose. Sure he was pressing. If you were a quarterback watching that defense you would be pressured too.

Could happen. Hope springs eternal before the first game. Watch Bowling Green and Clemson from last year...that will bring you down to earth soon enough. This team will go as far as the defense and special teams will take it. Improved tackling by the secondary is an absolute must. The...
