Makes absolute perfect sense...which is why the combined score will probably break 100. Just kidding. As an aside, College Football News seems to think Louisville has this one in the bag. We shall see Upon further review, CFN is more measured than I thought. They have it 28-23 Cardinals...

I am a Tech fan and have been since the 1960s and I get confused by a simple algebra problem, along with much else that has no relation to mathematics.

I would not read too much into that. It is not the gospel truth, far from it. No one knows what these teams are going to do including the coaches.

They sure were and Darryl Richard as I recall was an excellent student and student body president. Walker was a largely overlooked player from South Carolina who was a fine player for us. Maybe, we can get some more like them.

A good example of a "diamond in the rough" was Coleman Rudolph. A one time all state strong safety, he outgrew the position and became a fine tackle on the 1990 national champs. I distinctly recall watching him a year or two later against Clemson, wrecking havoc in their backfield. As the...

Good question. In 1970, Tech had a fine pair of defensive tackles in All American Rock Perdoni and a steady Tim Broome. The Black Watch had a couple of good tackles in Ken Parker, Glynn (something or other, my apologies to the player, senior moment) along with nose tackles Ivy Lee and Donnie...

I have no idea and neither does anyone else including the players, coaches, cheerleaders, fans, announcers or anyone else. These two teams are and will remain an unknown quantity until the end of the game and probably even after the game. It would appear that Tech has had less upheaval than...

True enough...until he throws that first interception. How will he handle that bit of adversity? Will the ghosts of A&M begin to creep into his confidence? A lot of people, starting with his old coach, Jimbo Fisher doubt his mental toughness. Here is the perfect opportunity to prove them wrong.

Erin Joe knows what he is talking about. Listen to the man. "Toughness, discipline, commitment, execution" those things will win a lot of football games. He should know having played for Coach Johnson.

The worst case scenario seems more likely to me but a lot hinges on the Louisville game. With all the coming and going of the transfer portal it is hard to judge who is going to benefit and who are the losers. Personally, I think we will lose to both Miami and UNC which makes the Louisville...

On the record? OK, I will hazard a guess of 5 with one caveat, if we beat Louisville, I think we can win 6. This game is really BIG for both teams. Louisville because they have a new coach, widely seen as the savior marching home to restore the Cardinals while Tech has its own home grown...

Judging by his A&M highlights and his conflict with Jimbo, Haynes looks to me to be a gunslinger while Pyron is a different breed of cat. Maybe that appeals more to the coaches. Who knows? We will soon see.

My friends in church who are Clemson fans say emphatically that DJ can go to Oregon State and stay there.

That is what Clemson fans said about DJ but he was a Five Star.

You are correct, he had accepted another job and the interim DC was, as I recall, a defensive back coach.

Coach O'Leary was talking about Carman's recruitment and his father's comment was "Now, you can feed him." I imagine the Carman family saved some grocery money when Jon left for college.

I know I am being influenced by watching Marco so many years ago leaving it on the field as a Yellow Jacket but I love him as a coach as much as I did as a player. He is not going to give these guys a start based on any thing other than production. This is a serious man for a serious challenge...

I think you are correct but can't remember who it was. ACC teams from that era usually had good players but if they lost a key player it was tough to come back.

Hot? I don't know about Atlanta but at 6pm or thereabouts, I was playing tennis in Albany and it was very nearly 120 on the heat index. The dew point at one time was well over 70. Christ, it was like trying to breathe underwater.

Ridiculous. These guys are not boxing and they sure are not playing. Bobby Dodd was the antithesis of what most people thought a football coach should look like but he was the one coach that Bear Bryant feared looking across the sideline. He once told an assistant coach: "We would have it...
