We aikn't gonna win unless Bonnie and Clyde are in our huddle.

Only saw fight for the exits when a small crowd realized that this was the absolute best GT and Geoff Collins could ever do and a five TD blowout was looming.

Right now I am laughing my rear end off. Calvin Johnson would not have been 23rd or 5th as a prospect had he played punter. He was a man among boys in HS, in college, and in the pros. Even today former defenders talking about taking on Calvin Johnson, themselves all-pro, speak with the tone of...

If Johnson was not a five star, what does that tell us about recruiting services? So Johnson turns out to be right about that. too.

We get one shot with this hire. That's it. Get it right, or go to club football. Even that would be more entertainikng than what Collins tried to pan off on us. It can't be from on-staff -- the record is plain. I am personally not encouraged that we can do a football hire. I want to be wrong...

If your dream is to get a job with no expectations, no pressure, knowing that anything you do will be an improvement and the road is wide open to big things without the initial baggage, then this is it. Thjere were so many misfires on so many levels with Collins it just makes your head ache.

Well, we might be asking the same question of him, don't you think? I am disappointed for the interim guy, but the problems are wide and deep. Stumbled over a YouTube piece which had Collins trying to explain the pro-set offense he was bringing along and I think I heard him saying the players he...

Too early to write Elliot off but keep an eye on that basket certainly. He is an engineer -- actually worked at it for a year or so -- and thinks like one: methodical, step by step. Had Virginia looked closely at his Clemson performance, well, he was "co-offensive coordinator" for a reason...

No problem. I related that story to a good friend, one who flew 25 missions over Germany as a B-17 pilot and brought 'em back alive, 10 men, every time, made captain at 20 -- credited it not to skill but "well, guys kept getting killed". He retired as a colonel after flying in three wars, and...

There's another thing about officers it seems. They seem to misplace their sense of humor. Sometimes thjey misplace themselves. I was in communications and our OIC was a major. Could not prove it by me, since I worked three different shifts for 14 months and never set eyes on him. The guys...

As a former enlisted man to all former officers: you are on your own, sport.

See? We need a lot of that, and god save us from an Alabama coaching retread just "because" he worked with Saban. Some of those guys fail miserably.

It is the role of a reporter to ask the occasional impertinent question, and to drill down otherwise.

I need to be clear on this, as they say. I have been a GT longer than most of you have been alive. I want this guy to work out. I want him to make a great hire. I want him to tell the alums to take a flying hike and stay out of his candy jar. But until I see the administration get involved...

yeah, but look at the guy's track record and it wasn't batting .500 at a mid major. He proved he could coach right out of the box.

actually I said it years ago but everybody wanted to give the new guy a break. Instead he broke us.

Well, if you say so. I come down on the "hopefully optimistic" side even as that strange press conference reverberates in my brain pan. Nobody asked the new guy who would make the coach hire, how long a contract he would offer, what would he propose as a buyout, did he have more money for...

Now you tell me, almost four years later, that there is no such thing as "alternate facts"? I am shocked.

I am filling formal protest about dirty talk on this board.

Key probably will suffer in comparison because of his association with one of the world's great bad football programs. That is no completely unfair. But one could do worse than an offensive line coach. The offensive line is a struggle for supremacy on every single play, and not takinig a play...
