I never heard that but its funny and mostly true.

Having gone to a liberal arts college, naturally I don't get this. What is a "BSBC"?

$11 million? No wonder this program is chronically short of money.

To my untrained eye, the biggest difference was that O'Leary had Ralph and Joe Ham and some very good offensive lines. Gailey's teams seemed to always have good defenses and special teams. It was like watching a pro team in many ways. I used to complain about Coach Gailey...until recently.

I don't know about how tough this team will be but during the Black Watch years, I had a sideline pass for a game against Duke, I think it was. Anyway, on a play that was five yards away, I saw and heard Ted Roof and Pat Swilling damn near decapitate a Blue Devil running back in one of those...

Sure the "lack of preparation" was an issue...for the other team facing the triple option at times.

I am kind of surprised that Miami is not higher and that UNC is not higher. Back in the day before both Techs, Miami, and FSU joined the ACC was really soft so I would have figured UNC to rack up impressive season records against that level of competition. Guess the Tar Heels were...

I don't know about the offensive assistants under Dodd during the 1960s but Bud Carson lit a fire under those defensive players let me tell you. I was on the field for a short time during the Penn State-Georgia Tech game in 1966 and Tech was bringing some serious lumber. The pads were popping...

Jacket Up has a point. I much preferred Coach Dodd as a coach than as an AD. He was lazy and did not adjust to the new realities presented by integration and most importantly getting money to upgrade facilities that were very poor. He did have the good sense to get out of coaching when he...

You know who Coach Key kind of reminds of? Former Tennessee head coach Phil Fulmer who was an offensive line coach himself back in the day. He kind of looks like Fulmer but not as um, well, overweight. Frankly, Coach Key looks to be in far better shape physically than Phil who took a lot of...

This is true but Dodd was miserable in the late 1950s because of recruiting pressures. His wife, Alice Dodd remarked in a biography about Dodd that he went around with this hang dog look complaining about calculus. "Worst thing that any school can do to mess up football." he would whine. He...

All state player from Gainesville. Man, that guy looked every inch what an offensive lineman should look like. He made a key block on Dwyer's long run to open the second half in that comeback against UGA in 2008.

Very good. Greg Horne was a running back from Murphy High School in Atlanta. A fine player for the Jackets when he was healthy.

If you want to continue down this path, then go to it. I am convinced that this will lead to Tech being increasingly marginalized in a semi pro environment that will cater to college programs willing to pay players exorbitant sums in grooming them to be professional athletes.

I cannot fathom why having a conference with schools that opt out of the NIL madness for players being given scholarships and nothing else is a matter for courts.

Yeah, no NCAA in what I envision says hi.

Simply do not allow it in any way shape or form.

I am not sure who you mean. Sinkwich I am sure was "Frank". Rauch, I am sure was John but sometimes called "Johnny". Trippi I am sure was Charlie. You must mean Sapp the drought breaker. I will check. As I begun to suspect, it was a twofer. We were both wrong. Sapp's first name was...

You just about have to fly a copter into that place. I am thinking that is the school that produced a somewhat celebrated running back for Auburn back in the day named Alfred Rawls.

"Fireball Frankie" as he was known was the real deal. A true triple threat tailback in the old single wing. Dodd said he was the best UGA player he ever coached against and that included Rauch (spelling?) and Charlie Trippi. He remains one of just three Dwags to have their jerseys retired the...
