    AD J Batt Introductory Press Conference

    if men's soccer is added, does a women's sport need to be added in order to stay compliant with the number of scholarships per M/W, under Title IX?

    I'll say it again!

    You ain't gonna be doing much pass protection either. I'd load up with more tight ends or bring in an extra offensive lineman, if need be, especially in short yardage. Or run a bunch of tunnel and bubble screens. When it comes to needing a yard, PJ used to tell me all the time - take your...

    Week 5 PFF Grades

    You have to pay to get those grades from the people who determine and provide them, so doing so here would be not a good thing, though it is informative and I appreciate getting the peek at the PFF grades, even if just from some of the team.

    Great Take.

    His assessment of why Collins failed, I think, is accurate - he failed to adequately prepare the team to play its opposition, and he wasn't a victim of Tech's stringent academic requirements or limitations. In other words, our most recent ex-coach hoisted himself upon his own petard. We know...

    The sun is rising...

    I'm not a huge fan of Key. The O line play has been bad and is still bad, and he has a past, when he was at UCF, of being one of the leading negative recruiters against Tech. I don't think he is the long term answer. However ... I think he will bring a semblance of preparing to win at practice...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    My point just isn’t getting through, is it? “Poor performance” - well no (bleep) Sherlock. We all wanted that guy gone But why not override TS last season? What was the tipping point? Sure Schultz understands why Collins is gone. We all do. But not having the guy who ultimately made the...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    If you're not prepared to take questions, don't hold a news conference.. Cabrera is smart enough to know what questions are going to get asked and smart enough to be ready for them. For Schultz, and the other news media there, my feeling is they wanted to know what led to Stansbury's dismissal...

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    No. No like that at all. Collins wasn't letting DMo travel with the team, wasn't letting him pray with team before games, wasn't letting him deliver the pre-game motivational speech. Beamer heard that was going on, called DMo, offered a spot and $50K and that was it. There's more to it than...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    Not a fan of any of them. Wasn't impressed by any of the new staff when their hires were announced initially, including this most recent offseason's, and haven't seen anything to change my mind. When the new HC is hired, he needs to be able to completely clean house. Bring all in his own and...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    Met Stansbury and liked him. He was honest and open and forthright. He did some good things, some very good things, at Tech. But the Collins contract, and his public endorsement after season-ending implosion., was the millstone around his neck that sank him. Never liked Collins. Never bought...

    HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    That was in the wake of the Sandusky-induced end for Joe Pa and the huge turmoil that created there. He did one helluva job navigating the program and the fan base through that unmitigated disaster. I'd take a flyer on him. My tops: Chadwell, who has recruited Georgia Monken (either Todd or...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    didn't Marvin leave with some baggage? Ryan Bamford, perhaps, as a choice, if we're looking for someone who has a good idea of what running an athletic department at GT is like. and while we're in this exercise, what legal counsel approved CGC's original contract? don't contracts have to be...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    we lost by 17 to a middle of the pack in its conference G5 team. That "being in the game almost to the end" against a Central Florida team that might go .500 is an indictment of our program in and of itself. and this is one of the better games in the Collins era? kinda speaks for itself right...

    Nobody Cares

    I will still go to games because I care I was never fired up about this season, knowing just how inadequate the coaching was going to be.

    Post-game presser

    That is an unfortunate screen grab because he's smiling, and there's no way he should be smiling. Unless he's thinking about the big checks he's fixin' to get with his buyout. Which cannot come soon enough. Cannot. That, and listening to this post game presser was just simply useless. Much...

    UCF 18 point favorites

    there's being mature off the field and on the field. My point was just because they are a year older doesn't mean they know what to do on the field. Sometimes, they just get a year older.

    UCF 18 point favorites

    You hope they will mature. Sometimes a guy gets a year older and simply just gets a year older, not a year better.
