I agree I suppose but it is a different game than it was just a generation ago. It is just about impossible, unless the defense is playing our offense, to shut an offense down these days. In other words, it is nearly impossible to win with just defense. The offense will have to get much, much...

I know, I was just kidding but I am not kidding about wanting to beat Miami and FSU. Down here in south Georgia, they have lots of fans and they are almost as obnoxious as UGA critters.

Yep. Just Miami doing Miami things. Playing down to the level of their opponents. Regarding the play you referenced, I watched it at least 5 times and he was down short of the marker. For some reason, as I faintly recall he did not plunge straight ahead but took a step back and the Tech...

Damn straight up!

Maybe YOU or some others will "throw out" beating Miami but not me. Doing that is close, very close, to beating UGA. Beating FSU is maybe a notch below. Different strokes for different folks. Some people get their jollies from the Jackets beating UNC or Duke, others are thrilled with winning...

It should have been five wins but it was not. I will stay with my three win prediction until I see a better team than what we had last year. Sure, we should be better, but a lot of teams say that at the beginning of the season. Proof is in the pudding starting next Saturday against FSU. Any...

I am assuming that these are in order, more or less, regardless of position. Pretty daunting task considering we had no spring practice. Well, most teams did not have a spring practice either so we will see.

Seems reasonable. Sound thinking and all that. Here is my take. Unless the line gets a whole lot better, it won't matter who the quarterback is. COVID? COVID is a way less hazardous to the health of a Georgia Tech quarterback than being behind that line. The main question is will they be...

The experts only watched the Virginia Tech and The Citadel. They missed the Jekyll - Hyde act the Jackets put on display with Virginia and Miami. Even for a team that has been historically up and down as Georgia Tech it was surreal that the same team that lost to The Citadel manages to beat...

I won't be as that is about what I expect but who knows with all the COVID stuff? More people might "opt" out. What if a coach decided to "opt" out? We may not even play 5 games much less 11. To lose even one lineman now would be catastrophic.

I don't know why Duke even bothers. There is always plenty of room there. When I lived in North Carolina I went to see Tech play both Duke and Wake. I had tickets on the 10 yard line or so in the first quarter at Wallace Wade, moved to the 30 at half time by the time the game was over I was...

Could be heat exhaustion from running for his life.

1) 3-8 assuming a full 11 game schedule. Long way to go. 2) No idea. Anything between 1 and 11. 3) Last or next to last 4) Mason will be All ACC in some fashion. Maybe Carpenter and Tre Swilling. Maybe Harvin if he is not injured. That is about it.

Hell, it can change in an hour this time of year.

Down here it can happen anytime...or get nothing at all. A week ago we were forecast here in Albany to have only a 20% chance of rain with the unbearable heat index. Instead, a thunderstorm developed that did not look like that much on radar but it rained, and rained and rained. It did not...

Hardeman just wore Old Miss out in that Sugar Bowl game. Turner had a lot of ability and good size and speed. Hardeman was small, shifty, with great balance.

Mr. Godhigh will forgive me for not remembering his name. He is the aforementioned walk on from Cobb County. A typical overachieving little back for Tech just like the others. Paired with a big and fast Orwin Smith they were a formidable set of A backs for Paul Johnson.

Funny, Kim was from Atlanta and went to Brown High School. He was heavily recruited by Bear Bryant who wanted him badly. The story goes that the Bear was entertaining Kim the morning of the Tech - Alabama game in 1962. Alabama was ranked number 1. The Bear, according to Kim, was worried...

I don't bet but if I did, I still would not touch any of them, except Duke and Notre Dame might be tempting. There are just too many unknown variables with the COVID and the first game of the year.

David Sims was a big back, formerly a quarterback in high school right here in Atlanta. He had been playing tight end but Pepper made him a wishbone halfback and a star was born. He ran upright and very hard.
