I have heard that but am skeptical. George and Paul had explosive O's. Gailey's teams were the exact opposite. I have heard others put forth the theory that these coaches funneled (sp?) the best athletes to one side of the ball over the other and that is the reason for the imbalance. I however...

I think Key has a bigger job in front of him than that (imo). I think to accomplish the vision of both the school prez and the AD AND to build the brand in times of dwindling fan interest, he has to be the first coach since Ross to pull off being good (maybe even just competent) at all 3 phases...

Thank God that there is not that many of us though! ;)

Disclaimer: I haven't read all of these posts but it is embarrassing to Coach Johnson (imo) that a thread comparing him and Geoff Collins would go on for 8 pages. It is like a thread comparing dry aged wagyu to vienna sausage....or Cindy Crawford to Melissa McCarty....they (the threads)...

I can remember when the idea of a European basketball player playing at high levels of college ball was considered laughable. Now they are as good, if not better than, their US counterparts. Your post may be prophetic in that regard. OTOH, it seems odd that the process does not seem to work as...

I am treading on thin ice here but I am only one that thinks perhaps our esteemed officials in Congress may have bigger fish to fry than college football? This is another example of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic that these people like to do. On the list of things I think they should be...

Be careful what you wish for here my friend! ;) Anyways, we are grateful for any and all sidewalk fans!!!! I imagine that must be a tough row to hoe and have always wondered why people who do so willingly given the school's heretofore lack of commitment to athletics. Hopefully the new...

I think we are all conflicted by this. As Coach once said, "we want to be Harvard during the week and Oklahoma on the weekends" or wtte. By the way, who said this? Also, is it an actual quote or just an urban legend of some sort. But it is a very accurate description of what we all want for GT...

As a HS teacher at a private institution (with tuition 25k+ a year ) I have a lot of insight into the mind of a junior or senior going through the application/selection process. What I see (and somewhat astonished by) is a large % of kids who are multi-generation at an individual school, many...

Re: the Open Say the odds were even (50/50), would you take A) Rory/Scottie/Brooks/Rahm or B) the rest of the field? This is a tough one, especially bc of how well statistically Scottie is playing but I might lean towards the second option. I would be tickled to see Rickie win but I don't...

$225?!?!?!. Somehow, I can see my lovely better half trying to convince me that she "saved us money" by getting these for "only" $200. Does Adidas or anyone else have these in a recap version? :)

I just got an email saying these are available now from the B & N bookstore. I thought the stated price was a typo so I called. Turns out the advertised price IS in fact correct but it's inclusive - it does include free shipping, a cardboard box to ship/store them in and 1 pair of shoelaces...

I can definitely see CJ as a Michael Johnson type DE!

I am leery of any composite rankings, whether for rosters or recruiting classes, as I think they can have a very myopic view. For instance a roster with 85 Calvin Johnson, Jamyr Gibbs, and Joe Hamiltons might show up as a very loaded team (and rightly so) using composite ratings. However, this...

Before I wrap things up here and claim the treasures I have stored up elsewhere, I have just two asks of the GT FB program. Granted, they are huge but (unabashedly) here they are: 1. Beat Uga in Atlanta 2. Trot out a team that looks they they have been coached and prepared in all 3 phases of...

I don't know,,,the "All Star Special" Field at BDS brought to you by the Waffle House has a certain ring. I can even recall Al saying during the broadcasts "it's a great place to eat, a great place to work". I have had a long term relationship with the Waffle House going back to my childhood and...

The "Whaddya Have" Field at BDS brought to you by the good folks at the Varsity.

I don't mean to brag here so I don't want to be called out for this but I have a sum of money in a coffee can in my backyard that if not near 4 figures is mighty damn close. J Batt, we know you read this site, let' get in touch and do a deal. I would toss the entire figure at you plus my three...

I don't mean to rain on your parade or cast dispersions on those of us who contribute here regularly but it should be duly noted that most, if not all, posters here have day jobs. In other words, no one here depends on their football expertise or their understanding of adolescent psychology to...
