I read a post the last week which said that Tech has (I think) the second highest degree of separation between the SAT scores of the general student body and the scholarship athletes. And yet we have an outstanding APR score. That tells me the tutoring team is doing one helluva job. I have...

I really wanted Monken. I thought Monken could slide right in and bring some innovation to what we were already doing. But I can see Collins succeeding and I'll be pulling hard for him. He has a history of pulling in big talent to Tech. He is on the right track in recruiting with a wider...

Sometimes we all have those times when we must be told why something is a certain way, because everyone else sees it but not us. I have never been to Detroit. It's a big city with a lot of history. I feel sure the Detroit visitor bureau can come up with many fun and interesting things to...

This whole thing makes me nervous. I wish CPJ had hung on a few more years. I thought maybe we were on the cusp of one of our good periods. Good returning o-linemen and quarterbacks who could throw. I agree with those who say we haven't been throwing the ball lately because we aren't any...

Okay, I got it. Without a good defense, Oklahoma isn't really all that close to Bama and Clem class football. Probably don't see the TO much either and we know what can happen to when defenses haven't experienced it much. Inside, I didn't know that I would think it is a huge advantage. I...

I was reading an article this morning about how Army and BYU are sweating a bowl bid because they have no conference tie-in. The article mentioned that in September Army took Oklahoma to overtime. I haven't seen the Sooners in some time, but from what I can tell, they are only about a half...

Also, the Leman Bennet story. Bennet was taking the Falcons to the playoffs every year but not advancing much after that. Admin wanted someone who could get the Falcons over the hump. Cleaned the coaching house. Immediately went from winning records and making the playoffs to below .500 and...

Another vote for Moncken. Paul but with less reluctance to pass the ball.

Just after Juanjey took it back the idea of putting him at wide receiver jumped into my head. Some of y'all have good arguments against that, though. He is a playmaker and we need a playmaker at wide receiver desperately.

gtg391z makes the very good point in the Post Game thread that having a passing quarterback is not the only ingredient -- we need some receivers with the speed and moves to beat man to man coverage. Do we have any young talent that might fit that description? Or any hotshot recruits we are...

If a lot of your friends are Georgia fans, as mine are, after a game where we won or even just almost won, you have heard this: "How do you do this? We should kill you every year. With who we recruit and who you recruit, this should never happen." There is some truth in this. We get mostly...

I've been through a lot of these times when we got totally outclassed by Georgia. It is horribly depressing in itself and there's the added misery of trying to figure out how can ever beat them. What I saw in the first half was an offensive machine which we couldn't even slow down, much less...

Having seen the two teams, I can't believe Virginia lost. I think I'd be suicidal if we had lost 15 straight to Georgia, finally came to the game with the better team, and still lost.

Supersize and Mike, I can't recall much about the '95 game, but it seems like one where we looked like the better team and had a lead for much of the game. What I can recall was the kick was a weird looking, low, knuckle ball of a kick. Made it the more painful.

Good info, ibeattetris. You can't see what's happening downfield on TV, plus depth perception doesn't allow you to take the height of the linemen into consideration. It isn't just a matter of who is open, but also can the QB see 'em and get 'em the ball?

Let me change this discussion a little. A few times last week PJ called some pass plays not on 3rd and long. I just knew we were fixing to see a nice gain and maybe change how they were playing our running game. The protection was good enough to get the pass off in rhythm, but Taquon didn't...

Thanks. Sounds sensible to me.

So Iceeater, this means he's telling Woody to bring more pressure this Saturday?

A few more odds and ends. Many of my observations have already been covered. The early part of the game was scary. We were blocking pretty well but plays that went for 5-6 yards in the last few games were only good for 3-4. The Miami defensive speed was closing things off quickly, and they...

Ilove stole a thought I hadn't posted yet -- that having a placekicker who you can count on has changed the way coach thinks. Half of it is, as an offensive guy, he finds it frustrating to admit his team has been stopped. But the other half is it has been such a long time since he had a kicker...
