    When does Pastner feel heat

    One ACC team in the ranked top 10. Neither Duke nor UNC ranked - at all- in the third week of January. Plus, Louisville has become one of the worst teams in the nation. In other words, it is a down year for the ACC. Maybe one of its worst in recent memory. And Tech is at the bottom of it. If...

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    Many years ago, there was a function for press and the state's college football coaches. I happened to be standing next to PJ for a few minutes. We look over at the horde descending on Richt. PJ looks at me and goes, "you don't think there's a (bleeping) bias in this state?" Me: "Never said...

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    Key has followed PJ on Twitter for years. So has Choice, even though I heard Choice one night very early on in his Tech coaching tenure say some disparaging things about the PJ program. Nothing major.

    Fiesta really got on the map as a fat daddy bowl when it had Penn State vs. Miami and Notre Dame vs. West Virginia.

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    You did have Big 8 (or 12) champ in the Orange, plus the SEC in the Sugar and Pac 12 v Big 14 in the Rose. But to your point, yes, the other bowls had no tie-ins to conferences by and large. It really should have been GT vs. Colorado in the Orange. Let ND play Nebraska in the Citrus. Hell, I...

    That alone could raise enough money to fully fund a NIL initiative.

    If that happens, I'm there. And PJ is a helluva dinner speaker. Lots of good stories.

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    I think the biggest obstacle to that is sitting on his pile of $11 million at home, waiting for Matt Rhule to call.

    So far, so good ??

    Biggest change? New strength and conditioning staff. That was overdue. Not overly wild about anything else at this point. Recruiting was ... ok. Could have been worse. But wasn't that great, either - and a coaching upheaval can't be an excuse. We pretty much cashed out the head bozo and the OC...

    Portal Watch 2022-23

    It's been a business since Bear Bryant started showing up at recruits' doors with a briefcase. And then leaving that briefcase with the family.

    General News about Key and his Staff

    most of the color commentary and sideline reporting is trite and repetitive. I'm usually glad I don't get to hear it when I'm at the game. Besides, it's more fun to sneak liquor into the game and enjoy it with your Coke than to crack open a bottle at home.

    Portal Watch 2022-23

    Maybe that's one reason we're looking for a new receivers coach. I think Rutherford could step into McCollum's role. And there's still the Haynes kid from Grayson at the slot. Now, there is no telling if they will be as good or productive as McCollum. But we are not without potential at the...

    Former GT commit Gavin Barthiel is in the portal. So too is Florida RB Lorenzo Lingard, who I think was a Tech target at one point.

    Maryland's move to BIG10, would have been better off moving too?

    There was a huge rift among the Maryland people on leaving the ACC for the Big 10. They were very split and tensions were very high. And how has that moved worked out for them?

    Favorite uniform combo of the 2022 season?

    On blue pants ... when PJ got back to Statesboro as head coach, the players asked for two things. They wanted their names on the backs of the jerseys. And they wanted blue pants. they got em. But Paul made em limit the blue pants for big games, such as rivalry games. So there were a handful of...

    Favorite uniform combo of the 2022 season?

    Didn't care for any of them. Never liked any of the jerseys from this year.

    "Dewberry back to pass. .. he's got time ... pressure!" Oh, Al was great. Better than drunk Munson. You never knew what the score was, what the down and distance was with that decrepit misanthrope. Who we really miss .... Kim King.

    404 and ATL signage and logos

    So what worked? From my POV, none of it. Not the 404, not the ATL, none of it. Did it help recruiting? Well, the best class was 2020. And of those 22-23 guys, only about half are left two years later. So ... no. Send it all packing.
