    really good get. Thanks.

  2. Dodd inducted to Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame

    It's about damned time. Anybody remember the infamous Pitt/Bobby Grier Sugar Bowl that resulted in actual riots back home in Atlant and Athens when Gov. Marvin Griffin tried to stop Tech from playing against an integrated team in the 1956 Sugar Bowl? The demonstrations-turned-riot were believe...

  3. Throwing on First Down

    Don't know how many watched that Clemson-Iowa State game, but that funky 3-5-3 defense made it impossible for Clemson to throw downfield: three safeties, four corners and LBs covering the middle of the field, and they were all good athletes. The new Clemson OC called about as good a game as you...

  4. GT vs. Nebraska National Championship Game.

    Well, when you are trying to operate with Ted Davis and Billy Martin as the defensive ends, you probably will get nailed.

  5. Throwing on First Down

    I think if you watched Clemson-Iowa State and saw Clemson with first and 10 inside the 20 and by your formula did the right thing and ran the ball. They got a yard and now it is 2nd and 9. They settled for a FG and basically told the defense to hold 'em. We make too much of an issue about...

    Sorry. I kinda liked it.

    We give presidents only four years and they don't make near the money.

    I remember a big dispute and the anti-Collins group was out in force. I don't remember 3 win predictions though. I probably was too busy foaming at the mouth.

  9. GT vs. Nebraska National Championship Game.

    Not many people know that before he got that knee messed up (was that a Tech game?) Namath was an outstanding option QB. He would put that Yankee butt in gear and chew up yards. But flawed, yes. Aren't we all?

    too much.

    Got to hand it to Beamer for guts. To sit there and allow several gallons of mayo to be dumped over you is ... yuck. But UNC needs an influx of something or other. To get wiped out by a South Carolina team that lost 30=0 to Clemson is unforgivable.

  12. GT vs. Nebraska National Championship Game.

    It is hard to explain Namath to non-believers. A guy who completed barely 50 of his passes, by today's standards did not throw all that many TDs or for great yardage. But that was before Bill Walsh and his West Coast offense, the dinks and dunks down the field which receivers turned into yardage...

  13. Let's go about this different only positive things ( Why will Tech win 6 games or more next year)

    If Collins turns it around next year it will be because he is looking for a cliff. I disagree on the strength of the ACC in 2022. Miami, FSU, Virginia, and UNC will be better; Wake Forest and NC State seem to have found their balance -- even if the NC State coach cannot become jerk free, and...

    This is true. But the first six or seven minutes of the second half of the game Johnson's first year were dazzling and an astonishing display of Johnson's offense.

    Golden memories 1.1

    Yeah, but that was when we had a coach who was actually passionate about winning and at halftime of his first game against them lit into the Jackets with fire and brimstone, thus turning the whole qame around. Now we are more likely to hear about culture.

    Im just mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore.

  19. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Damn, that is depressing.

  20. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Snarky or no, the record is there: five years head ball coach, two of those at a mid-level program, and he is 24-35. The "goal" next year seems to be to win five -- five -- games, to be sure a substantial improvement from a run of three threes. Collins is an example of a guy who learned one...
