    Good team, mediocre record?

    ...sorta? GT isn't willing to do what it takes to compete with the alabamas of the world. It's admirable, and I wouldn't want GT to change, but it at least raises the question of what reasonable goals/expectations are.

    Good team, mediocre record?

    Man, just looking at the schedule and there are not a lot if gimmies. Even the should be gimmies are fraught. Uva=for whatever reason, mendenhalls defense gives Johnson fits Unc=has been a horror show for roof. Wake is up. Duke gives gt fits. Ucf is scary. There is only really one game on the...

    Why is the O Line (potentially) a strength now?

    I think at the time we were experimenting with bigger lineman. I just looked at a depth chart and the Right Guard was Shamir Divine and the right tackle was Aaron Joe. Since then, the coaching staff has really really been recruiting athleticism at ol. Even the bigger lineman now are guys like...

    New Toddcast - Adidas Edition

    It should be noted that I'm in no position to talk trash. I did my undergrad at Ole Miss whose brand is "uva for dummies"

    New Toddcast - Adidas Edition

    I've said this elsewhere, but it's frustrating to me that Stansberry repeatedly talks about Adidas reinforcing techs brand, and wanting to get techs brand out there, and having everything fit into techs brand, but he never actually says what techs brand is. In marketing courses you'll hear...

    Jonesing for some updates from practice

    W/R/T Adams and Surge, I have this impression that what Roof values above all else is reliability. Remember how frustrated we'd all get that RRC always played despite probably being the least talented DE on the squad? Remember how Roof would always talk about how "you know what you're gonna...

    Jonesing for some updates from practice

    My lapsed Catholicism means I feel some underlying guilt about rooting for a team known for cut blocks but I do my best to remember that that guilt has no basis in fact, and that the notion is perpetuated by superstitious minds that cling onto an outdated belief system.

    Are you happy with Adidas? (Poll)

    FWIW, I like Adidas' uniform looks. The first four teams I looked up that they sponsor: TAMU Sharp Miami Sharp Arizona State Not bad Indiana: Not bad. These are all unis from last year, and I'm impressed. I think you guys won't go out there looking like clowns, at least.

    Get to know Jerry Howard

    FWIW "howard is good, and might be super successful" and "howard probably won't be a productive as mills would have been" are not mutually exclusive. It's unknowable, of course, but I don't think either one is a particularly crazy notion. (it's also not crazy that maybe howard has a better top...

    QB battle

    I'm like 90% sure I remember seeing somewhere that the optimum aerodynamic delivery actually has a slight wobble off of a perfect spiral, that served as an offset for the laces. Instantly, they say Drew Brees threw the ball perfectly for aerodynamic purposes.

    QB battle

    I'm sure you know this, but just to clarify, that doesn't just look like GT's offense. That IS GT's offense. Johnson started coaching offense for a run and shoot team, with run and shoot personnel, and decided to run option out of the run and shoot. If the option is the heart of PJ's offense...

    QB battle

    Well have to agree to disagree. I'm willing to bend in the hail Mary, but not on the first throw or the scramble completion. That's fine, though, reasonable minds can disagree, and if jj is the guy, I'll be rooting hard for him.

    Lynch, Qua, Jeune, Stewart...............

    FYI, as a Washington DC native (and therefore accent-less) Demetra's accent isn't bad. It's got a LITTLE bit of that upper midwest flat vowel thing but it's been mostly coached out of him. Not enough to drive me crazy, though. I know it's Atlanta, but I like my bpb guys to have a relatively...

    Post Camp thoughts

    I'm more worried about k than lb. I know this board gets a hate boner for Mitchell, but I don't think he's anything less than okay, and the other two linebackers are models we're both very familiar with. Short, Badger-like hitting machines? Alexander is just the next Harris or Nealy. Super...
