"Pitching always beats batting...and vice versa" Yogi Berra

Well, given what had happened in 1987 and 1988, the skepticism was understandable just as putting Tech this year in the, (what was it?) Ninth Tier by some preseason prognosticator was pretty much expected. Until, this team wins the games it should win a jaundiced eye is to be expected. If the...

For one thing we don't know how much the transfers will affect the team's performance, maybe a lot or maybe just a little. For another, in this day and age of portals, opt outs, COVID, and Christ in His Heaven knows what else it is nearly impossible to judge preseason what teams like Pitt...

Mind...now rite.

They will replicate it, the one thing that guy can do is recruit. He always has, everywhere he has been. Besides, as you point out, UNC got 95% of the instate guys even with Duke, Wake Forest, and NC State trying to get their share. They are not even competitive it seems like.

I can't remember the last time I saw UNC and thought we had more talent. Now, it is even worse with Mack there again. They and Miami can get more players and waste the talent than just about anyone else in the ACC. Must be nice. We may or may not be able to consistently get UNC's average...

It has been that way for as long as I can remember. Poor Willie T got canned at FSU half way through his second season. The Florida fans and media were on Ron Zook before he had time to put his first picture up in his office. In fact, "fireronzook.com" was the first (as far as I know)...

When you are freezing your tail off this weekend at those games you may change your tune, smart aleck. Still pretty clever riposte.

People are creatures of habit in many ways. I still call it Grant Field even though I attended more games with Bobby Dodd coaching than any single Tech coach since. My Florida friends still call Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field just plain old Florida Field. BDS at Historic Grant...

I would laugh but the idiots that I play tennis with here in Albany are insisting that we play Saturday morning. It is Albany but I don't think it will help much. Why do colleges start the baseball season in the middle of February?

Good arguments and largely true BUT, the Atlanta media can turn on you in a heartbeat. They are like my tomcat who bites the hand that feeds him...in his case literally when he does not get the level of service to which he has become accustomed. Another bad season will build the pressure and...

"Just win, baby" Another 3 or 4 win season would not be necessarily catastrophic given the Tech fan base usual patience with football coaches but it would set the wolves in the media howling for sure and would definitely have some effect on recruiting.

Love your confidence but do not fully share it. I expect at least 4 wins total this year.

A team that wins 3 games is not showing much progression even if they do look better. Wait till next year, will become the eternal rallying cry of Tech fans pretty soon if we don't start winning more ball games. IIWII

Well, for as long as I can remember Tennessee has produced great kickers and punters. It just comes with the territory.

Its funny, I used to think that it had a lot to do with the coaching especially Mark Ritcht but it seems to be happening again so maybe it is more like what Spurrier used to say: "They get all that talent, and when they get get to Athens, I don't know what happens to them." Maybe they really...

Seems reasonable...bet they can't do it. Hope you feel better.

Yep they are roasted as only the DWAGS can be, but this year sets up perfectly for them to go all the way...I know just like a bunch of years before but they have clear sailing to the SEC East title with both Tennessee and Florida on the downward trend and they have an experienced, talented...

Your optimism does you credit...I just don't happen to share it. Recruiting classes mean nothing until the wins come, then I will be impressed. So, impress me, I am gullible.

Animal eccentric that he was, he was asked by the Miami media for his feelings as he scored the first points for the Dolphins. He said that he was concerned that all the noise was upsetting Flipper.
