I agree with you that the jury is still out and I think your assessment about what he can and can't throw is premature (though you could end up being correct). I feel like we haven't yet seen even the tip of the iceberg of what he can do because he was a true freshman, he had no real spring...

And I thought what was happening was pretty good discussion. I’m OK taking it to another thread though.

Actually I like your posts and I'm usually pretty long-winded myself so you being long-winded wouldn't bother me, on the contrary it like it when folks take the time to think about things and express them even if I don't agree. I have never, not even once, complained about your writing or...

Speaking of paying attention... I actually said the education has value. I didn't even have a lot of words in my post yet you seemed to miss that. I agree they are getting things other students don't. I was a student at GT. I tutored high-level student-athletes at GT. I spent some time in...

Actually I think the distinction is extremely relevant and it's not quibbling over words. This entire discussion is about money. The word free means something quite specific and if a person is going to throw it around and emphasize it then that person should do so properly.

I'm mystified that you think the athletes are the greedy ones. You like to highlight the word free but it's completely irrelevant because nothing is being provided for free. For the stuff the schools provide to the student-athletes to be free would require that the student-athletes not have to...

I thought your post was pretty thoughtful.

You could very well be right about the media. On the one hand I think the media, in general, felt like GT was going to need a major retooling (I am purposely not using the word rebuild since I know that triggers a lot of folks) to change over from our previous offense to something more...

At this stage of our programs development I find it hard to be critical of anyone who says “until you prove you have begun to turn things around on the field we will continue to think you have a long way to go.” I may personally disagree with their assessment but it just doesn’t bother me even...

Nobody here is talking about what the players do in the NFL because they are interested in following them in the NFL or as ways to measure the success of those programs. The entire purpose of that part of the discussion is as it pertains to how much talent programs have, which doesn't always...

Actually it really isn't that simple. Winning isn’t what builds a team. Winning is a measure of success that is something that tells you you’ve built a great team. Winning, once you achieve some measure of it, helps you sustain and makes it much easier to continue building on that success...

Some of you work very hard to be upset about things.

That's a fair question and I honestly don't know the answer. Probably not. But it would depend on what the team looked like in the games we lost and won. If there were 3 other games on there that we should have won but had a bad break or two such as key injuries that tilted a game here and...

You can do whatever you want. I was simply telling you that your interpretation of what the poster said was incorrect. That poster was NOT saying we have to wait until year 5 to expect 5 wins like you were suggesting the poster said. I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with the assertion that we...

OK, purely hypothetically, let's say we win 5 this year, jump to 7 in year 4, win 8 in year 5, and continue to win 8-12 games in year 6+. During this period we may or may not beat either Clemson or UGA but we start getting much more competitive with them and definitely can be beating them...

No, you misread it. The number 5 was a quote from the poster being responded to, not a suggested win total for year 5. The concept was that in year 5 it would be more appropriate to set specific win totals as the absolute success measurement.

I would expect that if Tre and Juanyeh get back to playing around the level they did 2 years ago that they will be very strongly in the conversation for All-ACC at the end of the season. Based on how they played last season I probably wouldn't have rated them pre-season All-ACC, either. And I...

Add in the fact that there’s a 17th game coming and teams are definitely going to have to manage the carries for those bell cow type backs to not use them up.

Thank you for sharing your memories of Coach Brooks. I feel lucky I got to meet and speak with him the few times I had and he always treated people with warmth and respect. A truly good man.
