"...being a legend at your alma mater." That is a tremendous lure for some coaches, not so much for others but the results have been a mixed bag. It did not work out for Pepper or Bill Fulcher but Bill Curry did better than many will acknowledge considering the wreckage he inherited. Maybe...

We don't know and probably never will but Coach Key is heavily influenced by Saban who had the players to run in the fourth quarter with a lead and then run some more. We don't have that but get more linemen and one day we just might be able to line up and say "Here we come, just try to stop...

I am pro Georgia Tech and whoever is wearing white and gold and whoever is coaching the "Brave and Bold".

Griffis admittedly suffers from comparisons with the previous Wake quarterback Sam Hartman but he was no slouch coming out of high school. Griffis was all state in Virginia and his region's player of the year. His father was his high school coach so he should know what he is doing, I would...

Watching the end of that game must have been excruciating for Dabo. He had his team right in the middle of the field for a makeable field goal not exactly as I recall chip shot but 9 times out of 10 the Tiger kicker probably nails that in practice. Oops! Must have been the tenth time.

I was a liberal arts major, math gives me hives but I will take your word for it.

That is true about the Ole Miss score not indicative of the competitiveness of the game. Alas, Wake Forest fans are at this moment consoling themselves that in the fourth quarter they were driving for a go ahead score only for Griffis to throw an interception. That boy's problem is he...

"But, I could be (and oftentimes wrong)" I got that beat. According to my wife my being wrong is damn near 90% but she confesses to making allowances for my being a church elder so there are brief shining moments when I am right on ecclesiastical matters.

Is that what corporate types mean by a "golden parachute"?

Looks that way. Unfortunately, I was one of those who bought into the hype that Geoff brought with him but I am a fan prone to such things. Stanbury should have known better, after all, it is his job. Will this team of AD Batt and Coach Key prove to be a winning one for Tech much as Homer...

Holding at five but six is looking very possible at the moment. FWIW College Football News has their new rankings 1-133 out tonight I find it strange that they rank Louisville so low even though it is undefeated. Bowling Green 114 Boston College 105 UVA 101 Wake Forest 46 Tech 45 UNC 15...

No, they really did. Wake made all kinds of yards both rushing and passing but it was all between the 20s and very few big plays. Griffis was under duress so much that his yards per completion was about 6 yards it seems like. Big plays are the difference makers in today's game. Also, all...

It was atrocious against Wake but I have actually seen worse, believe it or not, when we have played UNC and Duke. Never really noticed it against NC State. FWIW

The PI call on Johnson was ridiculous. The camera shot of his face when the flag came out tells you what he thought about it. Forget about it, come back and get the next one which he did.

They are wrong on both counts. Griffis is a good quarterback but Joe Namath in his prime would have been helpless in the face of a pass rush that was relentless. 8 sacks does not tell the whole story as Griffis was under duress on nearly every play. "Refs favored Tech"? When I was a church...

I don't know, I think he may have been thinking back more than 20 years ago and saying to himself. "You know, back in my day, we did not let guys whip us like our defensive line is doing to Wake tonight. Eight sacks in one game? Ralph would have had a heart attack.

Well, the two coaches that (more than likely in my opinion) had the most influence on Coach Key could blow a gasket at times but could also let the assistants do their jobs. I am speculating that coaches Saban and O'Leary are the two that influenced him the most but could be wrong. One time...

Describing Zeke as "shooting a gap" is curious...must have been a really big gap.

Maybe these men have read or heard the criticism from this forum and others including my own somewhat scathing commentary on the defensive line. Tonight they showed pride, determination and want to in getting pressure on the Wake quarterback. I was impressed with a play Kennard made in the...

Permit me a different take. On one play in the second half, King handed the ball off and the running back went to his right and cut back to the left, King blocked one man went down and brush blocked another. Not exactly the pancakes that Coach Key executed back in the day but effective in...
