I felt pretty good going into this game. I sensed more than a little chaos and too much hype around the FSU program this off season, where I think our team is guided by a particularly focused and steady hand. As the game settled into a slug-fest, when we had them 1st and goal inside the five...

In all honesty, I have never really understood ACC member fans' predisposition for self-loathing. ACC fan subservience to the BIG and SEC has always seemed to me more a function of biting on the media propaganda rather than objectively reflecting reality.

Highly enjoyable football game. Turned into a grind- it-out, slobber knocker kinda game which is not how GT-FSU games have traditionally gone, where they usually whip-up on us with big plays. To win the game like that was particularly SWEET. I don't think I have ever experienced so much...

For an average back, Haynes' move wouldn't have worked out. But an outstanding back can make that work. Haynes has explosive cutting ability, a low center of gravity and excellent strength. He's really good and Tech fans should make it a point to enjoy watching him play

I believe it is essential to have administrators who actually BELIEVE that. For too long, GT has had leaders who really didn't believe that GT could win. They were there to manage our limitations. We need people who truly, to their bones, believe that GT can and should win. It starts with...

This. There is no entity collecting the data or making it available, therefore, the agents have no way of knowing their market. Everyone is flying blind. I guess there is a potential business opportunity here for someone who wants to collect the data. I'm sure schools and agents would buy it.

What the players ask for is based on expectations formed by information about the market. But the information seems chaotic and unreliable. So I think it is not surprising that the players' expectations are also chaotic and sometimes ridiculous. I think we will continue to see some...

Only having 11 players listed for 5 DB spots is what raised my eyebrows. That is not a lot of depth at all because those positions tend to suffer a lot of attrition. Obviously there is room for guys to step up and make the chart as the season goes on. I too was surprised to see MacKenny 3rd...

College football and basketball is evolving on a parallel course with pro sports models. This is sensible because of the size and revenue of the industry. With the portal and above-board pay for play, we now have talent free agency that moves close to the pro sports model. I think we will...

I'm anti-formula. Payment should be modeled after the full galaxy of parameters on a case by case, year by year basis. Pro sport teams do this all of the time. There may be some general formulas they follow, but there are exceptions all the time. They not only include production parameters...

The mo skillz, the mo betta.

The issue with depending on three point shooting has been finding consistency. Typically, even sweet shooting teams have off nights. If you have the ability to get shots close to the basket, it is far less susceptible to off nights.

I think you fell for the ol' "Duck Season - Wabbit season" ploy.

A settlement is effectively invalidating the contract. The real question is whether or not the contract is actually valid and therefore enforceable. If it is a valid contract, then the value to all members is to confirm the fact and get a court decision. If the contract is not valid...

Hard nosed, physical, evenly-matched competition along the line of scrimmage during camp gives this fan the warm fuzzies to start the season.

Camp is broken and game prep begins. I think we catch FSU at a good time. One of the most difficult things to attain in sport is sustained excellence. More often there is some degree of let down. It takes incredible mental discipline not to get a little smug after a dominant season. It is...

The more football I watch the more I think this applies absolutely to every team, every year and at every competitive level. A team can't win without a competent OL. It starts there. An offense is like a Battleship. The receivers and backs are like the weaponry. The QB is like the engine...

It is always an interesting debate whether a bad defense is because of bad coaching or players who are not as good as the competition. It is probably a combination of the two in some ratio. Now into my 5th decade of watching football but without any real expertise or analytics, I have a few...

Not too much info from coach in that presser. Emphasizing defense in a big way in the Summer, trying to prepare Nait and Baye to avoid Sophomore slumps (which will be important, to say the least), referred to last season as a "scramble," which I think is quite descriptive. Sounds like James...

My impression of the last few seasons is that the defensive staff did not get much out of the talent that they had. I think that there have been enough horses to run a better race than they have. If that impression is correct, then lopping off the head of the snake and an upgrade in staff...
