A minor league football league is not going to materialize until a drastic change occurs in college football. As far as I can tell, the NFL has zero incentive to develop such a league so long as colleges keep producing football trained athletes. An outside organization would have a very tough...

Shakinthesouthland has (or used to) some articles about defending GT. You'll have to search for them.

This is a high level explanation of the basic idea: In The basic zone blocking for a run, each lineman blocks every defender that appears in front of him. An o-lineman has no predetermined defender to block, it is whoever shows up in front of him after the snap (obvious exception: if a...

S Oh. You could have said that the first time, Shakespeare.

Your post reminds me of my Shakespeare readings in school. I understood (most of) the individual words, but I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said.

Had CPJ been the coach, Mizzu would have won. I believe there were some errors in the play calling and game management by the coaching staff that cost Mizzu that game. I think they should have won despite the turnovers.

Since three things can happen, and two of them are bad, the whole concept is a percentage play with a 33.3% success rate.

Reserve A+ for KO's in the stands. :) On the line drive kick, I'm thinking that since the ball arrived so fast, making the 28 yd should be easier because the coverage team is likely out of position. When that ball was kicked, I remember thinking that this'll be the first return of the year...

I like the scorecard. I suggest that one of the last KO's - I don't recall which one exactly - should not be an A. It was a line drive punt caught in the front half of the end zone by the return team. I think it could have been run back had the return team so chosen. Give it a A- or B+...

I want to know the immediate and long term impacts to a marijuana user, in comparison to alcohol and tobacco. For alcohol, the immediate impact is a reduction in or a complete loss of physical and mental capabilities. I'm not aware of any immediate effects for tobacco use. For long term use...

Pass protection does appear to be much better so far. I attribute the apparent improvement 100% to Coach West.

Irish addition: You + empty glass + full bottle of alcohol = empty glass + bottle + You full of alcohol

I'm of the opinion that winning more games is #1 thing, particularly winning more bowl games. Bowl games have a wider audience and so those wins count more for national recruiting marketing than wins over ACC opponents. A few Orange Bowl wins creates some national publicity and puts the team...

You don't lose a redshirt like that. The basic rule is a student can play for four years and those four year must occur within five years of the student enrolling. Once five years have elapsed, the student has run out of eligibility regardless of how many years he played. A redshirt simply...

I think the lack if pressure from the front 4 has been the root problem. Moreover, when we have blitzed it seems like we still had trouble getting to the QB. CPJ has said the issue is that we're not winning any one-on-one battles on the line. Meaning our DE and DT are not defeating the blocks...

I think CPJ wanted to keep him on staff, but he was not going to make him the DC. Kelly was the LB coach at FSU for a year before being promoted to the DC. Either way, I'm sure the money FSU offered was a lot more than what GT was going to pay.

It'd work the pass protection was good enough. Of course, if the pass protection was good enough, there wouldn't be need a alternate offense because the defense couldn't completely sell out to the run. The current passing game has receivers getting open. The problem is that the protection...

ACC division play did not begin until 2005, which was in the middle of the Gailey era. In division play, GT has a Division title or Conference title in 2006, 2009, 2012, 2014. Prior to division play, GT has ACC conference titles in 1990 and 1998. Checking just briefly, I can't find standings...

You misheard. CPJ said "This week.". It was the answer to the question when did Jabari leave the team? He said Jabari handled his departure the right way. I wouldn't say that CPJ was upset. More mater-of-fact than anything else.
