It should be noted that the said "coach speak" and buzz words from a master used car salesman was parlayed into a score that even the best con artists can only dream about. That said, I supported Collins for longer that most because I wanted to buy into the whole 404 hype and getting better...

Well, I much prefer Coach Key's emphasis on Georgia Tech but I can kind of appreciate Prime Time's approach given it is Colorado and if anything very few of their players are Power Five quality. Can't say I blame him for being brutally honest.

Dude, tell us how you really feel...don't hold anything back. Personally, I wouldn't root for the Cesspool with one engine out on the team plane.

Dr. Cabrera has the wrong shade of gold on. IMHO That said, Coach Key had the right idea about UGA. No prisoners, no mercy, we are not like them, we have nothing in common with them and have no interest in their national title asperations beyond rooting against them.

Like Frank Sinatra, Squints did it "his way."

Spot on assessment. Right now, Coach Key is probably very happy with what he might consider his "dream job". That said, make no mistake this is going to be a long, laborious process in turning this program around. There are no quick fixes. The portal is not going to help much, there is...

One of the worst injuries I have ever seen judging from the photos. The Tech team doctor called it the worst facial injury he had ever seen in his career and stated that Chick Graning had suffered more than a dozen bones broken in his face. Can't say I blame Coach Dodd but later Bear Bryant...

Those are well thought out reasons for your pessimism but I think Key will prove to be a worthwhile investment. Was he my first choice? Probably not as that would have been Saban or someone else equally farfetched but that is one of the perks of being a "sidewalk fan" you are permitted to...

It's his team now, he can get who he wants. It's funny but it does not seem all that long ago that Chris was playing quarterback for FSU. His notoriety stemmed from being pretty old for a college player because he had played minor league baseball for several years.

Dodd always thought that Billy was one of the absolute best offensive linemen he ever coached, along with Rufus Guthrie, Bill Curry, and Pete Brown among others. He probably had the best pro career of any of Dodd's players.

So, apparently, is learning standard English.

So, you are saying that they would need to go to class, see the TAs for help, and actually study? Nope, not going to happen with 5 stars that have visions of NFL stardom dancing in their rock hard noggins.

I understand that but the model we are currently saddled with is never going to work. Cabrera's creativity notwithstanding.

Are you sure he had water in that squirt gun?

The Notre Dame model is the one that makes sense to me. I know this is a minority opinion, in fact, it is likely to be an exclusive opinion but I do not believe football players or athletes at college should be getting paid money beyond their scholarships, books, and other school related expenses.

That's nice but I would rather have 3 linemen, offense or defense. But that's just me.

If this is true, it is expected but disappointing none the less. Why resort to such subterfuge? Why not set realistic goals for the players and demand that they meet them? I don't understand the rationale behind this sort of thing.

Let's not get carried away here. Why, once I was at a game against Tulane in the early 1960s and Tech was tied with the Green Wave going into the second quarter and Dodd elects to kick on third down. This guy behind us explodes "Damn you Dodd, for kicking on third down" Asks I, "Daddy why is...

Well Flea should know, he has been around more big time football than just about any of us.

That was bad form. My father and mother had the "golf clap" down to perfection. The only time I saw them get excited was when Tech played Alabama and Auburn. For some reason, Tennessee and UGA just did not resonate with them for some reason but those Alabama teams got them going in a hurry...
