Miami is Miami. Always talented, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. It has been twenty years since Miami was on top of the college football world. 2003 seems like a long time ago. It may take Mario a while but we will see. Miami's last three losses last year were to FSU, Clemson, and...

Imagine, UVA was number 1 in the country in mid fall of 1990. Undefeated, untied, perfectly balanced attack. They had everything in front of them with an excellent offensive line, a great quarterback, tremendous receivers and a fine running back. The defense was considered to be pretty...

So did my wife whose major was English and has only a passing familiarity with math, limited to adding and subtracting from my bank account. She graduated in 1977 from Belhaven and is a very proud Blazer.

Upon further review, I am not so sure. During the 1979-1981 era, the facilities were absolutely the worst in Division 1 football. Recruiting was generally very poor in transitioning from Pepper's last year in 79 to Bill Curry and consequently there was very little depth. In 1979 which was...

To me, 70-81 was worse. Dodd said that he knew Tech was in bad shape when we played Memphis State and they had better athletes.

Beats me, I was not there but whatever it was it was as fleeting as a foggy morning in south Georgia when the sun comes up.

It wasn't just Miami, Tech played well as they sometimes do against Miami.

Quarterback toughness? Just any position toughness. One of a kind that is for sure.

I think Saban's dislike of him went beyond that, though I concede the point.

Seems like it. As with all things Miami, what you see is usually not what you get.

You MAY wish you had not watched them but we will see. The ACC is as mediocre after Clemson and FSU as ever so hopes abound for everyone.

There is something about Kiffin that he rubs a lot of people the wrong way. When he worked for Saban as his offensive coordinator Kiffin showed just how good he was in directing an offense but Saban despised him anyway.

Well, you should know about CPJ as you played for him.

I don't know the answer to your question but a cursory examination of that first year (2019) gives a good idea of what strange times the program was about to enter. Tech played poorly in losing to both the Citadel and Temple yet somehow managed to beat a Miami team that had been picked to...

Boy, its a good thing that the internet was not around when Bud Carson replaced the living legend himself Bobby Dodd. As for Collins, he is gone and Coach Johnson is enjoying a well deserved retirement. So leave it at that. IMHO

Win some ball games and that runway gets a lot longer. IIWII

Forgive me Rhino but fans have a way of glossing over stuff all the time whereas when you live the moment so to speak you remember it in all its glory. Thank you and your teammates from that era for some great football on the Flats.

Batt and Coach Key come from the Alabama tree of Saban. I get the feeling that they will not tolerate losing. That said, it may take a few years to fully recover from the recent debacle but a glance back at the Bill Lewis era and following would be instructive. Lewis hit rock bottom in 1994...

Kind of reminds me of what poor old Joab Thomas, the president of Alabama once supposedly said: "We want to create a university the football team can be proud of" 50 years or so later, it still hasn't happened.
