  1. UVA game thoughts

    FWIW. College Football News came out with their prediction of Cavaliers by a field goal mostly due to running for over 200 yards and controlling the clock. Plausible in Hooville I suppose.
  2. Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    I was not there. I was in college and working as a bag boy at the old Food Giant on Peachtree Road in DeKalb County. Taking groceries out to the cars, I was soaked inside of ten minutes even with the ponchos provided. I made over $50 in tips and could barely walk to my father's car with...

  4. Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    Florida has something like that for basketball. They call it the "Rowdy Reptiles". I went to a game years ago with a Florida buddy when they played Tennessee. When they announced Doug Dickey as the AD for Tennessee, the place exploded in boos and catcalls. It was loud to say the least.

    It was 1974 and the Jackets just wore them out running that damn bone. Adrian Rucker had the game of his life.
  6. Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    Auburn is loud because football is king and they have 80,000 plus with an energized student body that gets into the game. Tech is loud because of the metal seats, the enclosed structure and the fans being so close to the field. Tech games at night seem to be louder for some reason. The...

    As usual, a wise take from Red. Ya'll better listen to him. That place is just jinxed for us and has been for three decades. My prediction is that we will either win close or lose close. I hate to put this on Haynes and the receivers but this game will come down to them. We have to turn...

    Muskett? Now there is an appropriate name for a quarterback. Is he a...gunslinger? cough
  9. UVA game thoughts

    You are aware, I assume, that we have won twice in the past 30 years at Scott Stadium aka the Hooville House of Horrors?
  10. Game 9 #GTvsUVA Media

    Clemson? Duke? Auburn? Beats me but although in modern times it seems as though we played both Clemson and Duke just about every year, I am not sure about pre 1960. Seems like it is spotty for both of them before then. We did play Auburn every year until the 1980s but have not since Chan...
  11. Game 9 #GTvsUVA Media

    Well, it is the payback for ruining their season, stealing their lunch money, and taking what they thought was rightfully theirs back in 1990. They were number one, (I think) riding high with a tremendous offense built around a great all purpose quarterback, an NFL type game breaking receiver...

    The "Hoo Ville House of Horrors". How apt the week of Halloween. It is remarkable how tough the Cavaliers have been on us for so long.
  13. Game 9 #GTvsUVA Media

    "Up trending"? Perhaps, in terms of respect by the media and other coaches etc. Not by other fans that is for sure. Certainly not by Miami fans who remain disdainful while yapping about recruiting rankings. UNC fans by contrast were less than confident going into their game with us with was...
  14. Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    It may have been about 1985 when unheralded Tech gave 17th ranked Tennessee all they wanted but their great kicker Reveiz saved them by kicking a game tying field goal from way out. He had earlier missed a chip shot but came through when it counted. I think the score was 6-6. We won 9 games...
  15. Is the North Carolina win a turning point game?

    Love the sentiments but I don't really think so. College football is tilted towards rewarding the elite football factories at the expense of everyone else. It will not change in my lifetime but I was there in 1990 when we beat UGA and Nebraska back to back to win a national championship so...
  16. Which of these 3 has mess up college football

    "None of them." I posted "All of them" "The NCAA created a rigged sport from the beginning" That explains how both could be true.

    Years ago, when FSU and Miami first joined the ACC, an enterprising reporter for a Tallahassee newspaper interviewed a few FSU football players for their reactions to the other ACC teams, stadiums, etc. One was asked what surprised him most? He said that he was shocked at how loud Grant Field...
  18. Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    I think he managed somehow to get in for just a few plays and fumble for a scoop and score by the other team in typical Sims fashion. He may have played his last game as a Cornhusker. Can he enter the portal again?

    The baby blue is disappointing but RED? Sacrilege!
