    Fans deserve a real playoff

    At my place of work literally everybody who I have spoken with believes the committee got it right between OSU and PSU. I just can't let this go. They played in the same division and PSU WON THE DIVISION after beating OSU head to head. Additionally, PSU went on to win the conference which is the...

    Special Ed Conference

    ACC vs SEC bowl games, this is how I see our chances in each game: NCST (60%) vs Vandy VT (60%) vs Ark L'ville (55%) vs LSU GT (55%) vs Kentucky What say you?

    Fans deserve a real playoff

    PSU beat OSU head to head AND they have a conference title on their resume, where OSU doesn't even have a division title. If OSU mkes it and PSU doesn't it will be a crock. If beating a team head to head and a title doesn't matter, what does? I guess game results have no bearing. Why even play...

    1990 Virginia game

    Part of what makes that game so special for me was the circumstances in which I watched it. I was a US Marine at the time and a long way from home. Oddly enough, there was a guy in my unit (from Athens if you can believe it) who was a huge TECH fan too. We huddled around a tiny TV set and went...

    Fans deserve a real playoff

    Correct. The goal isn't to decide who is the "best" team. The goal is to decide who is champion. Champions win the games they have to. The only ticket to the CFB playoff is a conference championship, whether you are the "best" team or not. The only way to win the natty is to be the last team...

    Defensive Change is on the way

    The one down side I can think of is that 3-4 defenses are generally more complicated. It seems we are always having a balancing act between simplification so we can play fast and scheming to confuse offenses.

    Defensive Change is on the way

    Bottom line is that you have to take advantage of your personnel. Starting with Adams over center in the 3-4 is a good thing.

    Somebody Lost a Bet

    One of the worst days of my life was wearing red 'n black for a lost bet. Will never happen again.

    Can Jordan last a whole season?

    There is a lot to like about having the midline as a play. Probably the biggest plus is that you can neutralize a beastly DT without having to block him. Think about that for a minute. Think about all the DTs that have given us fits over the last couple of years. Well, we had trouble blocking...

    Marcus Marshall Transferring

    We would be a much stronger team with MM still on it. Let that be said emphatically. However, if forced to choose between the two, based solely on what goes on between the lines, I would pick DM seven days a week and twice on Sunday. In fact, I almost can't believe my eyes with some of the...

    Can Jordan last a whole season?

    It is no secret that I hold TW in very high esteem as a QB in our system. He will most likely make a huge impact on the guys we have in the program in terms of transferring knowledge. If we are to compare MJ to TW and limit ourselves to physical attributes, then I think people who put a ton of...

    How Tough

    were those BB runs for us late in the 4th? In particular, MM's 4 broken tackle run up the right side for about 13 yards, and DM's TD where he single handedly drove 4 of their would be tacklers 3 yards back into the EZ and they still didn't get him down. Those young men were MOTIVATED, no? Holy cow.

    2017 roster/depth

    We need to elevate the DL play from this year and past years. Watching the game against the mutts just reinforced this point. After the snap, the LOS was moving back 2 yards immediately on run plays, and this is from an OL that has been unable to consistently establish the run against anybody...

    Can Jordan last a whole season?

    If MJ gets beat out, so be it. I will be at peace. However, I wouldn't count on it. MJ reads the first option really well in the TO and is getting there with the second. The midline will return and all the benefits that come with it. IMHO he can pass quite well. If those who differ are basing...

    I'd hate to be our next opponent

    I really thought we were going to score too, until first and second down inside the 10. Then I was just hoping to score. You are right though, we weren't to be denied. That last offensive play with Qua says it all. What a Herculean effort that was. I am trying to think of a single play in this...

    Best offensive performance against UGA under PJ?

    To our credit, we haven't given up a ton of big plays this year and yesterday reinforced that. UGA has a hard time executing sustained offense with a frosh QB and stone handed receivers. In many ways, for us, it is amazing how few big plays we gave up, despite getting pushed back so consistently...

    Time to Reflect

    We have won two out of three. You are right Cuse. Players are far more resilient and competitive than fans. It is easier to be that way when you actually have input on the outcome. In pretty much every game that is somewhat evenly matched there will be adversity. I like the way CPJ puts it. "You...

    Qua "the dive" Review

    Qua looked like superman on the play. He was not to be denied. It was a great decision to pull it down and get what he could. JT was picked up by at least 3 players. Qua found a sliver of a crease on the cut back, made a move on a guy at the 4 yard line and leaped into the air simultaneously...
