A hel A helicopter is no longer a shiny toy, not in recruiting metro Atlanta it isn't with the Atlanta traffic, it is a necessity. Coach Collins is a great recruiter but then so were Lane Kiffin at Tennessee, Butch Davis, Ron Zook at Florida. What did all of them in was not recruiting but...

That is not all the blocks he missed. But then, he had a lot of company.

Dominate? No. Be more competitive than last year? It can't get any worse, so yes. There is a reason why the experts all pick Tech to be last in the Coastal.

Yep. That's him. Vince Dooley was playing safety for Auburn at that time. He said that Buck Martin ran over him three times to score touchdowns. Jay Berwanger refused to turn pro but then pro ball wasn't what it is today.

UNC has always had talent almost the equivalent of Miami but they may have caught up with the Canes by now. Talent wise the top five we face are: Clemson, UGA, Notre Dame, UNC, and Miami in roughly that order I guess. A pretty tough row to hoe. Coach Collins must have drawn the short...

OK, it is great because I found that the Spartans actually had a pretty good claim. They had gone undefeated two years in a row. 1949 and 1950. They beat three ranked teams, same as Tech. Penn State was 17th, Notre Dame was in the top ten and I forget the other one, may have been Purdue...

Hard to believe they were not in the "Big Integer" before 1950. Was it called the Big Ten back then I wonder or was that after the Spartans joined to make it "Ten"?

Michigan State was number one in the AP poll with a 9-0 record and did not, for some reason, go to a bowl. Tech was awarded a national championship by some news outfit. May have been UPI. I am pretty sure that had Tech played the Spartans Tech would have won. They defeated a number 7 ranked...

I will believe a respected hospital administrator who has treated dozens of these patients before I will believe google and I don't really care if you buy it or not. If people have underlying medical conditions or are, like myself, over 50 then they need to be extra careful. As I will be in...

A hospital administrator and physician that I talked to while walking told me the chances of a young person with no immune system complications dying from COVID is about 10,000,000 to 1. By young he meant under the age of 50. No immune system complications meant, he said, no diabetes, no...

1952 National Champs were legit. Had to be with 6 All Americans of one kind or another.

UCF may well determine the fate of the Jackets this season. Fan Sided seems to think they will be one the very best G-5 teams (Is that what it is called now?). They are returning just about everyone also. It will be really tough for Tech to beat them. They are much sounder than USF. I am...

A lot of people are saying UNC is the team to beat for the Coastal but it is the Coastal we are talking about here as in "Coastal Chaos". FanSided predicts UNC to go 10-2 and win the Coastal for what it is worth. They will be missing two linemen who were drafted to the NFL one on offense and...

Yes, well anyone who saw them play FIU and the bowl game would wonder about what is Manny going to do now? He is like a poor man's version of Willie T. Talent everywhere, coaching nowhere. One of these days all that top 25 talent has to gel...one of these days.

I don't know but you heard the man: "It is what it is" Seems pretty philosophical about whatever "it" may be. Maybe his girlfriend whacked him upside the head and that's all there is to it. I just realized what a useful pronoun "it" can be.

I just read a couple of reviews about UCF. It would appear that they will be better than they were last year. But they lost to both Pitt and Cincinnati last year so there is that.

Lots of weird things for sure but could it be much more weird than the spectacle of losing to The Citadel and beating Miami? Beating Miami always has a good ring to it. Kind of like beating Duke. Wouldn't it be nice to beat both of them this year?

Uncertainty makes cowards of us all. My Florida friends have not received their tickets either. Can you imagine trying to "safe distance" 80,000 Gator fans? That place has the most narrow seats I have ever sat in too. Everyone is close real close to one another.

We could look better coming off the bus and still win only three games or we could win as many as six if everything goes right. I don't think we will go to a bowl but we will see. Potential and better talent are words being bandied about but a schedule of UNC, Miami, UGA, Notre Dame, Virginia...

Sign of the times. It may get worse before it gets better and both college and NFL football are going to be hurt financially.
