Actually, the closest similarity to the game Saturday that I can recall, was the one in 1980 when we tied Notre Dame 3-3 when they came to Grant Field ranked number one. Whisenhunt was the quarterback but I cannot remember if he was a starter that year or not. He subsequently moved to tight...

"All the players say, it's Key's energy and excitement." Funny what those two mundane qualities will do for football players.

I apologize if they are offended but then no one apologized for my having enduring years of shallow sympathy from tennis friends and church people about Tech having such a crummy football team that we would be the recipients of tsk tsk from the likes of South Carolina and Auburn fans among others.

What I thought at 17-0 was a whole lot different from 17-7 I can tell you that. The momentum shift at 17-7 was noticeable and I thought. Well, Mack, you had your chance to put this game away and your defense blew it again. Now, you are likely as not to have a whole heap of trouble in the...

Kirby and Mack or maybe it was the coach at Virginia Tech. (TIC)

All of these deep pocket teams operate on the "greater fool theory" There is bound to be a greater fool willing to pick up part of the tab. I agree though that this kind of financial insanity will not endure.

With what offensive players get away with I kind of think he is entitled to one every once in a while.

I don't know and don't really care at this point. I am ready, more than ready, to move on from him but whether it is Coach Key or someone else for all that is holy and good, please get a real football coach and not some fast talking huckster who is a reincarnation of Sgt. Bilko. (Kids, ask...

It would seem that Coach Key knows how to win football games and motivate players. He is just not as good at marketing and salesmanship.

Well, I can't help but notice that the defense, in particular, just plays harder. Perhaps it is my imagination but Coach Thacker seems to have blossomed out from under Collins' supervision. A shutout of any team in this day and age is noteworthy but to shut down the #13 team in the nation with...

Maybe he is the one who should be getting the Heisman hype but don't forget about Taisun (spelling?). He won the game on that last mini drive to eat up the clock.

The 1990 tie game with UNC? Was that at Carolina or at Tech? I do not remember seeing it on TV for some reason.

I honestly do not know what I would do in his shoes. Well, its about time to put on the big boy britches and make the call. FWIW

I have not seen UNC play this year but their defense must be pretty bad judging by the last possession when we got the first downs and they KNEW we were going to run the ball. How about that Hall reaching with the ball for the last first down?

I was surprised that Tech had just about perfect balance between run and pass. I actually thought we had more rushing yards than we did. Also, UNC can point to two factors that help explain their loss. One was time of possession. Normally, that should not matter too much to a team used to...

One of the most courageous performances ever in the long history of Georgia Tech. The two quarterbacks played exceptional and kept their heads in a hostile environment. Our running backs ran hard and blocked when called upon to do so. I kept telling my wife on the last drive that if we have...

Let's see, no McCollum, down to the 3rd and 4th string quarterbacks, 3 offensive linemen injured in the second half adds up to...a stunning upset of the 13th ranked Tar Heels with a slow the game down, play defense, perfectly executed game plan to get the game into the fourth quarter. Just like...

Love it! The key plays to me were the interception, the dropped pass by Downs, and the gritty first downs on the last drive. Once again, Tech proves to be Tar Heel tormentors as we have been down through the years. Some things seem to never change.

Fairhope? Spanish Fort? Foley? My nephews all live in those places. Two of them went to Auburn majored in Forestry and work for Georgia Pacific and Scott Paper.

Monroeville. You know, where Harper Lee grew up with Truman Capote visiting every summer during their childhood as depicted in "To Kill a Mockingbird".
