    MB Stadium?

    Upper deck is higher than I have ever been in a stadium. The place is a spectacle for sure. Trying to leave the stadium from the third deck after the game was like trying to get off the TITANIC. It's amazing, 1.5 billion dollars and you can't even provide enough stairways or escalators to allow...

    Defense

    To reinforce my point though, that was our best defensive year under CPJ. Generally speaking, we weren't pushed around on the interior. Sometimes offenses ran right at Michael Johnson because he was a little light in the pants, but he could get after the passer.

    ACC vs SEC scorecard

    Just like last year, until I feel the press is no longer trying to affect outcomes with faux rankings and puff pieces, I will keep a running tab of our progress vs the Special Ed Conference. With one very important head to head to be played tonight, here are the current numbers in the fledgling...

    Defense

    I hear you. Any of us could make the argument for a more aggressive and attacking style of defense. Tenuta's defenses were, on average statistically speaking, better than any during the CPJ era. We did have our shortcomings however, and got exposed a few times by good quick decision makers at...

    Defense

    I am not sure how much I agree with the notion that we have been strong enough on the interior of our defense as evidenced by the movement of a few of our players into the NFL. Gotsis was probably the most successful and recent player to do so. However, we have to realize that he was a project...

    How Much Longer Will Paul Johnson Coach?

    I would like to add to my last comment on page 1. Although I have no idea how long he would coach, selfishly I would want him to coach for a very long time, but not as long as Bowden and Paterno. Those two had no idea that they needed to leave the game much earlier. As odd as it may sound, my...

    "Toe meets leather"

    Sorry though, the part of BUZZ on the right that is supposed to be black still has some red in it from the coke label. It made me aspirate in my mouth just a little. Just isn't right. I appreciate the thought, but......

    ACC vs SEC scorecard

    I am still trying to figure out how NCST lost that game. Try to imagine if TECH had out gained an opponent 500+ yards to 250, more than doubled them up on the number of first downs, and had nearly 40 minutes of possession time while only losing the TO battle by 1 and STILL LOST. This place would...

    Backs

    I'll be convinced our backs (especially ABs) are a real plus when I see them blocking like they should, considering their level of experience. They can pretty much all run and catch. AB blocking improved a bit over the course of the year last season, but it wasn't where I would like it to have...

    First Defensive Play

    Bad snap. QB wasn't ready. Scrum for the loose football 15 yards behind the LOS. Squirts around like it's greased. TECH eventually comes up with the ball.

    Remember

    After all that hype it was a huge letdown. I couldn't hear a thing in there and decided to leave early so I could listen on the radio in the car on the way home. Haha. Then, back in the car, the normal stations were running the Braves game and the alternates barely came in at all. So, as it...

    Remember

    the year 2014 at this same time, when most of us were out of our minds with anticipation for what a Justin Thomas led offense would be like for us and whether we would be any good? The situation for me is very familiar. Hopefully the outcome will be as well. Every team is different, not only...

    Poll: Who is Our Starter Opening Night?

    I love you too '87!! Haha

    Poll: Who is Our Starter Opening Night?

    For me to start a guy at QB who had less experience (or none), he would have to be performing CLEARLY better in practice and scrimmages and I can't emphasize the word "clearly" enough. If there are marginal differences, then I think you have to go with maturity and experience every single time...

    Poll: Who is Our Starter Opening Night?

    I voted for Martenson......because I can. Truth is, I could care less. I just want to win. It could be any of the six and it really doesn't matter. This is not an episode of the Batchelor. Unlike many, I recognize that I have not been there to watch practice and scrimmages etc etc and we are...

    What two things do these 4 guys have in common?

    I guess that is why I said losing players hurts. You get my drift.

    What two things do these 4 guys have in common?

    One of the things I like about our system is that it doesn't require superstars at the skill positions to make a ton of plays on their own. The system itself provides a ton of yards if it is just executed at a decent level. If the guys playing execute, we will be fine. If they do a little on top...

    Post Camp thoughts

    Haha. I thought that was hilarious and intentional, giving you major kudos in my brain. Now you have destroyed that notion and I am disappointed. It's all good man. The world needs another Yogi Berra. Don't fret.

    First Offensive Play vs. UT?

    Smoke route, stiff arm, one good move, 22 yard gain.

    GaTech fans

    Mills was going to be a great player for us. Most reasonable fans would agree to that. However, we did win some important games without him last season. Kirvonte looked pretty good to me. I haven't seen Howard so I will reserve judgment. Next man up. The offense still has a lot of working parts...
