Imagine a football coach that places the welfare of the players and the Institute above himself. Alexander and Dodd would approve.

He was extremely demanding and could be a jerk to reporters, players, assistants and other small fry including it would seem his wife. Newspapers of the time for some reason, found him irresistible. All over the country photos were published showing him holding a small megaphone and calling...

That guy gives off bad vibes but he would never come to Tech and I doubt Tech people would tolerate him.

Well, to a certain extent, I suppose he did not give people a whole lot of warm, fuzzy feelings. I recall a game on TV that was against NC State or Carolina that was going back and forth in typical Joe Ham fashion and Tech had taken the lead but the other team came down in about 3 plays and...

If they truly LOVE Tech, they will stay out of this. They pushed for Geoff and complained continuously about Coach Johnson. It is true that they are not anywhere close to being the ego maniacs at many programs, say Auburn or Texas A&M for which any future Tech AD and coach should be thankful.

I will give you that and it is an admirable, though seldom seen character trait in these troubled times.

You are entitled to your opinion but it is a lonely one.

I think, and this is probably an unpopular opinion, that the boosters need to stay out of this. They had their turn and it did not work out. So, just stand aside and let Mr. Batt do his job and then next year or the year after begin with the regularly scheduled program of bitching and...

I don't know what dice Nebraska has been rolling for the better part of nearly two decades but they need to get some new ones.

Sometimes, I feel sorry (I know its a rough business) for schools like Coastal. They get a great coach, innovative, with a fun offense that has fans excited and then deep pockets come along and the coach is gone with the program back to square one. I can understand the frustration of a program...

Boy howdy but that Batt runs a tight ship. There is not a peep out of the athletic department as to what the thinking is just internet rumors and unfounded speculation. Impressive.

You mean like a "stealth candidate"?

You guys are too smart for me. Remember I am just a liberal arts major, so be aware of the witticisms that will go right over my head.

OK, I know I am old and slow...that said, I don't get it. What, pray, is "the lock"? Never mind, you are talking about the thread being locked. Why would it be locked at 200? Is there something special about the number 200? Still don't get it.

I am so jaded now, that I don't even care about the playoffs unless Tech or UGA is playing. And the only reason for interest in UGA is to have someone to root against. Of the however many bowls that are going to be played I doubt I will watch more than a handful. They are meaningless at this...

I don't think we are a good football team but then about half of those teams that are bowl eligible are not good teams either. This is an exercise in seeing who is the tallest midget left standing. There are, in my view, way too many bowls. The number should be about half the current number...

My game plan would be to put salmonella in their pregame meal. They could conceivably beat us with their third string.

I have to be nice to them. One is a sidewalk Miami fan from having grown up on the Gold Coast, another is a sidewalk Clemson fan being from the upstate as its called in South Carolina. Another one is a Tech graduate whose father played on the 1952 national championship team at Tech. It takes...

Midtown pretty much covers all that needs to be said. One caveat, UNC was a team living on borrowed time. A quick glance at their season results reveals a team that had won a lot of close games against less than formidable opposition. The pendulum was bound to swing the other way. Their game...
