The most underachieving teams in the ACC? Good question. Depends on who you ask. Going back over the last 10 years or so I would say Miami, North Carolina and FSU in no particular order. Others may offer a different perspective as I am just going on what I saw when they played Tech...

The only thing I hate is seeing those empty gold seats in games like that. It must look as bad or worse on television as it does from the North Stands.

Hooker was their best player. I don't understand that either. We will see what the Hokies are all about this year. It seemed strange last year not playing Virginia Tech, Miami, or UVA. Very weird.

#4 Sometimes the players would drive Dodd crazy with their desires on bowl games. One year, Tech was invited to both the Sugar and the Orange bowls. Dodd wanted the Orange Bowl because the opponent was going to be Syracuse. The players had already been there and wanted to go to New Orleans to...

I watched Ole Miss play Florida and both teams but especially Mississippi played as though defense was optional. The Gators won and scored 51 points which ended up being about the fourth or fifth time someone laid a half century worth of points on the Rebels. Maybe COVID did have something to...

Well, Miami being Miami, is always going to have hype, talent, and all manner of hoopla until someone, sometimes Tech, sometimes someone else, slaps them upside the head and down to earth they go. With both teams it is all about the quarterbacks, Howell will have to pretty much carry UNC along...

We had 49,196 for Alcorn State? Surprising at least to me. I am not surprised by NC State attendance in 2010, they always seem to bring a bunch of people to Atlanta.

Newnan is a nice place. My parents retired there and played golf at White Oak. Did not like the ever increasing traffic on Bullsboro Blvd. however. Tech has gotten some good football players from Newnan and Coweta County. Drew Hill, the linebacker that played for O'Leary and was paired with...

Oh, just Clint Castleberry among others. He was a star at Boys High which closed in 1948 or thereabouts.

This phenomena is not limited to Tech. I know a Florida fan who is a podiatrist, has lots of money, and was a season ticket holder to Gator games for over 20 years and he has not renewed his tickets and knows a bunch of people at Florida who have not renewed. A lot of that is discontent with...

Coach Johnson did indeed take us to the Orange Bowl which had not been done by any coach since Dodd last did it in 1966. Dodd had several advantages not afforded to Coach Johnson. He was a far better recruiter, much like Coach Collins. He had the Atlanta media eating out of his hand, again...

Or...fans will not attend games and Bobby Dodd Stadium will look like Wallace Wade when Duke plays Western Carolina. Building the program includes winning games against competition like Pitt, Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Boston College. Fans have every right to express their opinion on...

Winning only 3 games in each of the last two seasons will get just about any fanbase restless especially when it is accompanied by losing to The Citadel and a historic loss to Clemson. Even a fan base as placid and reasonable as Georgia Tech will turn on a coach in a New York minute for any...

The Tide hired Ray Perkins to replace the Bear. He has not been heard from since.

Does Minnesota have a rivalry game besides Wisconsin? That is almost as bad as Tech vs. UGA or Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee. Not quite as daunting mind you but Wisconsin has been very good for some time now.

He is not going anywhere. The last thing TStan needs is to be paying a coach to not coach. The buyout would be huge. We are stuck with him for good or bad. I pray that we will get better starting this year and move forward. Who knows? Maybe he will be another Paul Johnson and retire at Tech.

That is easy for me. I think we will win 4 games. The first two against Northern Illinois and Kennesaw, Duke and a shocker to be named later, maybe Miami or Pitt or UNC.

If I were a coach at a school that ran the flexbone, I would be doing everything I could to get BJS to transfer. He would be a monster at B back.

It does not mean a thing just more for fans to chatter about.

South Carolina fans used to say when Charlie Pell was coaching the Tigers that IPTAY stood for: "IT's PROBATION TIME AGAIN YA'LL"
