Y-GUYS as it was known in the City of Atlanta schools was for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders while GRA-Y was for 6th and 7th graders. Public schools at that time did not have middle schools and high school started at the 8th grade. Other school systems probably had what were then known as junior...

Reasonable, but at the moment, based on what I saw last year, I don't think we are that highly rated but Tech is one of those teams with a relatively high floor compared to some. We will have to wait and see. Between the portals and opt outs, there is no telling what could happen and even the...

True but if you told a Tennessee fan they would reach that lofty goal only 4 times in the next 10 years in 2010, they would have called for the boys in the white suits to come get you. Don't say it cannot happen here, it can.

Well, there was a reason that Bear Bryant in one of his biographies said that once Alabama had won its first national championship under his leadership he had it made if he did not have to look across the field and see "that damn Dodd". Then Curry comes along and beats the Tide a couple of...

Nothing to do with the schedule? Win 3 games again and the talk will be about nothing but the schedule. If you are just going to measure how good the team is then I am gullible but show me. Right now, I don't think we are a very good football team but more than willing to give them the...

Frankly, I am surprised it is that high. I thought, given the schedule we would be ranked well below that, maybe down to about 75 or so. Winning 5 would be a sign of progress, of sorts.

He played at Northside in Atlanta and led the school to its only state championship under legendary coach Weyman Creel.

You are not kidding. My last year of teaching before I retired I had that thing. My feet would swell up at the end of the day, so that I had to take my shoes off to drive home. My podiatrist said I had the worst case he had ever seen from years of playing tennis on hard courts and running on...

Shows what a smart coach O'Leary was. Kicking on third down, the block meant that we get a mulligan thanks to the Goose alert play.

No wonder. That explains a lot. It was quite the show with the Atlanta papers giving almost daily recaps of Charlie's escapades. Seems like he joined the army or almost did...among other things. I am very sorry he had to go through all that at such a young age. It would leave its mark on...

Eddie made it look easy with those ever so soft and accurate throws to Steve Harkey and Jimmy Robinson.

Dudish was the equivalent of a five star quarterback back in the day. Multi year all state player out of Avondale. Big for the time and could hit a softball over the fence. He just could not handle the pressure of literally having the fate of an entire program on his shoulders. One play I...

The funny thing about "Jasper Thanks" game was that when it went into overtime. Joe Ham was out on the field with the officials and Georgia's captain Quincy Carter. Joe was dancing around after the coin toss taunting Carter: "What ya gonna do Q, what cha gonna do"? It was never in doubt...

He was the quarterback when my dad was in school circa late 1940s to about 1950.

He was a good enough athlete to play defense if needed.

First quarterback? Lothridge. It wasn't that Billy was a great runner, he wasn't, or a great passer, he wasn't, he just had a knack for winning football games. It helped that Tech had Billy Martin and Ted Davis at end and Rufus Guthrie at guard but ultimately it was Lothridge doing whatever...

I don't think it is a "bad" division. It has historically been very balanced with different teams having a shot at winning the division. The Atlantic has been pretty much owned by Clemson and earlier by FSU.

There are two major roadblocks for Tech and Coach Collins in regards to the Coastal. One is the injustice of having to play Clemson every year. The second is one that has been around for years but is becoming more pronounced, having to play UNC and Miami every year and they are ALWAYS more...

Poor Bill Fulcher was going through a nasty devoice and as Dodd commented later, his heart just was not in it. He did manage to pull an upset in the Liberty Bowl beating a heavily favored Iowa State team so I would not put him in the same level as BL. Ridiculous.

It may be whiney and obsessed with stuff like uniforms and such but I would submit that it is nothing like say, Miami's or Tennessee's fan bases. Has anyone seen a plane circling BDS with a banner demanding ANY Tech coach, much less Coach Collins be fired? Has anyone rioted and burned...
