Cuse, in light of your last two posts above, my original post seems a bit ridiculous in retrospect. I think it surely says more about my knowledge of the NBA than it does about the Joker's ability to play basketball. This guy is doing stuff that hasn't been done before as the one tweet above says.

Wow....the tail is wagging the dog in a positive manner it appears. It reminds me of the long ago quote from the president of Oklahoma, who said "he wanted to build a school that the football team can be proud of" back sometime in the 50's. history does indeed repeat itself.

Fair enough. WTBS, how many more testaments are necessary at this point? I doubt anyone is stil sitting on the fence on whether or not it was a disaster of historic proportions.

It's not sad that you made your comment. What IS sad is that someone felt the need to go dredge it up. I am alays hopeful/optimistic for every new coach who takes the reins. For every single one of them. Including Collins. Including Lewis et al. I am expecting that Coach Key will has...

Brooking and Rogers made another impressive pair. And one guy who needs a shout out when discussing great LB's on the Flats was Ted Roof. He could be another face on the Mt. Rushmore. Nothing was especially impressive about him other than his play. But you knew when he was on the field and when...

Add Lucious (sp?) to the Swilling/Brooking duo for the Mt. Rushmore of GT linebackers (that I saw in person). We have had many, many more who were outstanding but I am going with these three at the top of the heap.

As an older guy I would say that he is certainly NOT in the conversation as best ever but his senior year he made a case as someone who will be remembered for a very long time as a difference maker and as a football player who played "much bigger" than he actually was in the vein of Julian...

I am intrigued by the thought that some of our more respected coaches had an operating philosophy/management style that had an Achilles heel of sorts, For CCG, he couldn't quite get it together on the offensive side. For CPJ, he seem incapable of fixing his defense or finding someone who could...

can you elaborate a bit on this? From your resume it sounds like you are certainly a bit more qualified to comment on the topic than most.

From my perspective, it's always the people with no skin in the game who have the binary perspective...you either win the championship or you failed. The people with skin in the game NEVER feel the same way. Sometimes the other guy is better. Sometimes he is not but you had a bad day. As Teddy...

Great post. FWIW, I wasn't one of the guys who thought he was going to be a "guy" at Bama. WTBS, Gibbs was picked at #12 bc of what God did for him, not for what Saban et al did for him. I believe he was worthy of the same draft spot had he stayed although, like you, I certainly understand the...

This is a great question but I think we (the readers) will need to answer from the perspective of work as I don't think we have any college athletes on this board who have played under the new structure or any former professional athletes who contribute. From my perspective, I have worked in a...

ALL students at GT, whether an athlete or not, find this out pretty quickly upon leaving the "nurturing" bosom of Ma Tech. These guys are just getting hit with this reality just a few years ahead of their peers. IMO.

I agree with your comment. You have to do, however, what is necessary. Unless the constraints won't let you do that. These problems seem familiar to me. What is NOT familiar is the scale in terms of managing salaries and buyouts relative to the bottom line. I never had to let anyone go whose...

I haven't participated in the past but am very interested. I am sorting out other vacation things at the moment. Do you have a deadline for sign up?

You are just like everyone else. You want in so you can make sweeping changes...drain the swamp...represent the people with no voice...make a difference...etc, etc. Well pal, you will probably end up like all others before you. Succumbing to the power, the wealth, the perks. Taking bribes via DM...

I voted and really don't follow GT BB although I do read this forum. I really, really hate the Bobby Bowden/Frank Beamer scenarios, or to a lesser degree how the CBC era ended at Tech, but coaches are really bad at analyzing things objectively, I would imagine even our former FB coach feels...

I question your choice of wording here. College FB IS headed for big changes??? The big changes have already happened and will continue to do so. And I agree with your second part about location, location, location. If Dodd had pulled us out of the SEC AND relocated us to Columbus, Macon...

My dear Mr. Hord...us old guys genuinely appreciate your care and concern. You appear to be one of the very, very few younger guys that appear willing to accept the torch and hair shirt. Most (but not all) of us who post here never really got to experience the halicon days of Coach Dodd but were...

^ Excellent points. I will add on to that, prior to "culture", "morale" was a buzzword. I worked at some places where the culture or morale was poor to "meh". Efforts were made to "improve the morale" at these places with banners, picnics, balloons, tee shirts, slogans, etc. Then I found a place...
