    Which coach on GT staff (outside of CGC) should feel most pressure to improve?

    EDIT: I just realized I was responding to a post from September 7. DOH!!! My bad… If there was anyone on the staff that had less to work with than Wiesehan I can’t imagine who else it might have been. I’m not talking about not having good football players. We didn’t have any. I agree that...

    If Dre Bly wasn’t his uncle then he may very well have come here. Oh well.

    Credit for the Win today

    I wish you were right about that. But I fear you are not. People are always looking for reasons to complain and vent and be offended about things. If we win they’ll doubtless find something else to be upset, offended, or angry about with respect to our program. As far back as I can remember...

    Give Some Love to Jordan Yates!!!!

    Doesn't sound silly at all. I'm not sure I've seen enough of either to agree or disagree but the distinction makes sense. I largely attribute much of Sims's penchant to run last year to the poor protection he got. And we really haven't seen much of him this season so that's why I just don't...

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

    In the absence of poor play by our team it’s not surprising, unfortunately, that people will work to find something else to get outraged about.

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

    Collins is extremely consistent. He says what recruits and their coaches and their mentors want to hear. Not what angry fans want to hear. I'm not suggesting that's the right or wrong approach but I think he knows, mostly, what's wrong. The part I'm not sure he knows is the clock management...

    Rewatched the 1st quarter of the NIU game last night and...

    Of all the places where we’ve had issues the non-talent related ones on defense are the most baffling to me. I know Geoff Collins is a good DC. I’ve watched his defenses and generally speaking they were pretty darn good so why are we struggling with players not communicating well? As someone...

    Money Down Poll

    Fair question and I don't know. I'm being completely serious when I say "maybe" about it appealing to the specific demographic to which she and her peers belong. Most of the kids I saw at the game who even acknowledged it (and I include my 17 year old in that description) seemed to be enjoying...

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

    I remember those years very well and even wrote for the Technique covering sports during Ross's second year. And knowing how much work had to be done to change our roster into one focused on more RPO than spread option (I was and still am a fan of what we did under CPJ and I still love CPJ but...

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

    That's true. He still has time. What did happen is people like me who were all in on CGC and thought CDP deserved more time are now feeling like we need to be convinced that things can be better. Can our coaches learn clock management? I am stunned that we are in the third year of this group...

    Money Down Poll

    I don't care for it, either. On the other hand, my 17 year old thought it was great. It really got her more into the game and every time the announcer said it she got on the edge of her seat and was screaming for the defense. That's not a vote either way nor am I going to attempt to make...

    My understanding is that he established himself as a leader with the other players very early on once he got here.

    Game 1 Uniforms

    You said it, amigo! Some people like to suck the joy out of everything and bring everyone else with them. Personally I think the uniforms look great, they definitely represent GT, and if the players like them then that's a big time win. All goodness!!! I can't wait to see the guys on the...

    Expectations for the 2021 season

    I will agree and disagree ;) Agree - of course we won't really know for sure until the games are played. And their relative worth is fairly low. Disagree - the rankings aren't worthLESS. They are interesting information and in some cases give you some idea of how to begin setting up...

    ProJackets Update

    It's possible to root for the Jackets in Jags uniforms while still not being a fan of the Jags... just sayin' :ROFLMAO:. I had a similar problem when any of our beloved Jackets ended up in a Cowpunks uniform as I grew up in the DMV and always hated that team.

    Gold Koolaid

    At Coastal Carolina where he coached for a longer period of time his QBs had a pretty high TD/INT ratio (threw far fewer picks than TDs, and the total number of picks was pretty low so it wasn't just that they threw so many TDs that the ratio was high). I'm not saying this just to disagree with...

    Gold Koolaid

    I believe in what CGC and his staff are doing. But after seeing the Citadel game and last year's Syracuse game I'm not taking any wins for granted before they happen. I'm hoping you're right and I have nothing to worry about. And I'm not worried about this program but until I see the guys...
