I don't know...maybe, we ought to try it. Everyone else is getting away with cheating on a massive scale why not us? What do we have to lose? (TIC)

Opinions will vary on that topic but my impression was that Geoff's recruiting efforts had finally begun to bear fruit last year and it was his most talented team. We beat one top ten team and came within an eyelash of beating another. I don't know what happened with that team but after...

"Hope" is about all we have at this point. 99% of our problems, (obvious hyperbole but true nonetheless) are related to both lines. I have no confidence in either one getting fixed which is why all these skeptics are predicting four or fewer wins.

I do not share your optimism but your scenario is certainly plausible. After all, just last year the Jackets were 3-3 after upsetting number 10 UNC and very easily have been 5-1 with a few breaks in the Northern Illinois and against Clemson but that is not here or there. This team is not as...

Anyone betting what 18 to 21 year old athletes are going to do more than say...a week ahead of a game might be disappointed. About all I can "think" is that double digit losses in all of those games would be disappointing but probably expected. IIWII

Good question. My surmise is that it was the genius of CPJ and being able to recruit offensive linemen that were not wanted by most teams but excelled in an option offense. Running backs for that offense were a dime a dozen for the most part with an occasional great one like Dwyer thrown in...

The "funny" part is that Coach Johnson beat UGA three times, something Chan never did. Coach Johnson took teams to the Orange Bowl, again, something Chan never did. Johnson got more out of less talent, Chan got less out of more talent.

Gerry Faust. He was, I think, the head coach of the powerhouse Moeller (spelling?) program but became the butt of much ridicule even by his own players as the Irish were perceived as running a high school offense. Towards the end of his tenure, Irish fans sported buttons and signs saying...

Reggie Ball got four years starting as a freshman and completed 51% of his passes. He never reached those heights again in his career. He had a bunch of TD passes...and very nearly the same number of interceptions. Too bad he didn't play for Coach Johnson, he would have made a great option...

It COULD be addition by subtraction but I am of the firm belief that last year's team was Geoff's best hope at turning his program around. That team had the most returning talent and a true superstar in Gibbs. At one point we were 3-3 and had come within a whisker of being 5-1 as both the...

Broke his leg against Miami.

Oh...THAT name. Gotcha.

Forgive my ignorance but who is "**** Bennett"?

"...the left over rack at good will."? What is wrong with where I shop? You are probably right. A super conference will be formed and all 3 of those schools you mentioned will be in it and within a few years find themselves thinking "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

The "plan" should be not to get involved in any kind of arms race throwing good money after bad. Miami will come to regret, as they have so many times before, throwing $80 million at any coach.

Can you not comprehend that the reason "...we have minimal $ to hire coaches" is because millions have been squandered on coaches not worthy to carry the much lamented CGC's whistle? None of those supposed "flops" come anywhere close to historic losses to Clemson, The Citadel, Northern...

An interesting thought but in 1978 ELI played Georgia right off the field on an injured ankle until the bastards deliberately injured him again. We were getting smacked one night against a top ten Notre Dame team but Lucious Sanford unloaded on an Irish back so hard that color commentator Paul...

All it takes is the right ones to do the wrong thing.

I am not an alumnus of the Institute but last time I checked they are not the ones playing. There are no excuses for not playing harder. Sims or no Sims, Gibbs or no Gibbs. That debacle is a direct reflection on the coach, the administration, and the team.

I vote all 3 to one degree or another.
