When we complain about how the program is treated or perceived we need to remember one thing. The value of the program is based mostly on the fans. How big and rabid a fan base is determines bowls, TV, and ssdly how hard the NCAA might come down on you. The biggest achievement of any AD is not...
1. Limit staff size (coaches and support staff)
2. Reward schools that have higher academic stadards with more scholarships. Those with lower stasndards get less. But plus or minus a certain limited number.
3. If you haved high player turnover (players leaving) due to lack of playing then you...
Not sure looking super muscular was a big issue for Qua. Still a great player but we do need to do better in that area. SEC players do look like they spend a lot of time in the weight room. To the point I sometimes wonder if they are on roids.
We have good talent but clearly not great. Been this way for 50 years so not a critique on Johnson. Looking at top 25 I think we could beat or if things went our way early in the season be a team in top 15-25. I am not confident we could win from 14 down. Not bad overall but big difference in...
It is funny how we all put our trust and belief in one person. We are looking for that one "great man" to lead us to glory days. If we don't get it then we feel justified in letting our support fall off and becoming apathetic as a way to "change" things. Question- What great "savior" of a coach...
I will agree I am disappointed. I will agree that we will not win with such a disparity of size. Forgive me if this has been pointed out but we were an unranked team playing the number 5 team in the country. Should we have truly expected anything else than what occurred?
I personslly am on...
I like how in the fourth quarter our receivers were basicly extra linemen and we ran that the rest of the game. VT basicly kept the same defensive formation. I felt like I was watching rugby. That is not a bad thing especially when we win.
What I have noticed with our quarterbacks over the years is that the bigger QBs like Tobias takes the game up the middle. We go on a long death march with a big qb. The smaller qbs tend to be more edge guys. Plus Tobias looks sturdy enough that he can take the hits that a smaller qb cannot...
If the two groups of fans were two armies on a battle field then the side with gold and white flags would have been annihilated in short time. I sit in the west stands I while I can only estimate the fans in the seats let me tell you that if someone did not know where the game was going on they...
The upper east was at least 95% Clemson fans. The lower east was mostly Clemson fans on either side of the club section. In true club section tradition those who have tickets either stay under the stadium or don't show up cause there are a lot of empty seats there.
While losing to ODU is exceptionally strange for VT it is not unprecedented for them to drop one they shouldn't. Thing is when VT does this they react be winning the rest of their games. I would not expect to beat them just because they lost to ODU. Oh yeah I heard Pitt lost to UNC and UNC is...
The East stands were 95% Clemson fans. A complete embarrassment. Attendance has been a problem since 2008 with the recession and with changing from points to a donation system on tickets in my opinion. Even in our best years with Johnson the attendance has been disappointing.
There is zero...
I think he is playing the qb that he feels will help him and the team win. The sad part is that Marshall looks less confident this year than last for some reason. I would not want to put my job in Marshalls hands at this point but maybe he has not choice. That though is a statement on...
If memory serves me Johnson's recruiting is not worse than Gaileys and may be slightly better ranking wise. Either way neither was great in regards to the ranking. That is not because of his offense. It is because as we all know Tech requires a 2.5 while others schools (ahem UGA) require a 2.0...
I only know what I read about. Maybe what I read was wrong. Either way something happened that annoyed Johnson. So why did it happen? Why would the people in Ireland book the flight? Wouldn't the people in Ireland book the flight with the company the is sponsoring the game and not a cut rate...
I agree with Johnson on all his statements including the last about commitment and the expectation of beating Clemson or teams like them. We may not want to hear the truth, we may not want the truth said in front of others, but it is still the truth. You want to talk about commitment and...
