Yes, he is thinking of a double header at Grant Field. Tech was playing Kentucky? and Georgia played Ole Miss. The SEC commissioner at the time tried to get Coach Dodd to speak with Johnny Vaught and arrange a game between Ole Miss and Tech. Coach Dodd said, in so many words. "No offense...

I think that it is your imagination run wild so to speak. 1966 they beat us in Athens with a ferocious defense that hounded Kim King. 1967 they beat us in Atlanta in a pretty good game. 1968, UGA had a terrific team and we had a very poor team riddled with injuries. They killed us 48-6...

First quarterback? Lothridge. Favorite memory of him was 1962 against number one Alabama. But the only play I remember clearly was Don Toner's interception of a Joe Namath pass on about the 14 yard line with very little time left in the game. I don't know why the Bear was passing deep in...

Thank you that was him.

Anthony Allen. A cheerleader who happened to be a Sunday school student for me in church, remarked how smart he was in math. High praise given she graduated cum laude and was an A student in high school. He transferred to Tech from Louisville and for one memorable year was at A back while Bey...

I was at that game. Hot as Hades it was. A huge mismatch. One thing about playing Tech in that era was if you were a big underdog, you simply could not make any mistakes like getting a punt blocked and passes intercepted which both happened in that game because Tech would be all over you like...

That is right...I think. Clinton was another in a long line of great A backs at Tech. Very good receiver as I recall.

Au Contraire, a different opinion. Orwin Smith was best but no one takes a back seat to me in my admiration for Robbie. He was a walk on who got everything he could out of his ability. A fine player for Paul Johnson to be sure. Hill was an interesting player. Need a block? He would do it...

Nope, it does not mean a thing.

Well, TStan threw money at him...is that what you had in mind?

O'Leary had more talent to work with on offense. They struggled on defense a good bit as did Coach Johnson's teams. Trying to cover Kelly Campbell and Dez White was just about impossible when you add Charles Wiley, Joe Burns, Ed Wilder, and huge linemen it is no wonder they scored so much with...

I think we win five but its hard to tell in the age of portal. I know what Tech has but their opponents are a mixed bag except for certain and near certain losses to Notre Dame, FSU, and UGA as well as certain and near certain wins at Georgia State, VMI, Syracuse, and Duke. My own guesses on...

You guys are all wrong. What Haynes needs to work on is making friends...really close friends with his offensive line. Buy them dinner, get them girlfriends, do whatever it takes but they are the ones who will determine how dirty your uniform gets. The cleaner, the better.

"Post that aged worst" I got that covered when I predicted we would win five games.

Haynes being mentioned in the same breath as former Tech quarterback greats George Godsey and Joe Hamilton is a tribute to the man's character and perseverance following his experience at Texas A&M. His coaches, in particular quarterback coach Chris Weinke are in large measure responsible for...

I predicted five and hoped for six as for Miami well, the Canes are to do what they are going to do, this year we were the lucky ones to win the lottery on a Miami give away.

Really? I grew up on Bohler Road not far from the old Bolton apartments as I recall in the 1970s. Did you go to South Cobb or Pebblebrook in high school when you were in Mableton? Small world indeed.

A tale of two games: the first quarter and then the next three. Once they had to start working for first downs, the points dried up. Haynes had one more yard rushing than he did passing. The announcers remarked at how Tech's offensive line was playing on the other side of the line of...

I don't know if this means anything but CFN resident "expert" Pete Fiutak (spelling?) had UCF winning a week ago when he first came out with his bowl picks and now he has Tech as the favorite. Does he know something that we don't? I read on stingtalk that UCF has had two defensive linemen, two...

For the life of me, I do not understand Auburn getting rid of him. He was the best coach they have had in a long time, although Hugh is an offensive genius as well. Getting off the "Gus Bus" was one of the worst decisions made by an athletic director since, well, hiring Geoff Collins.
