    Power shift in the ACC????

    MICH ST was the PERFECT opponent for Bammer in the semi-final. No team in college right now can push the TIDE around and win with a pedestrian, smash mouth offense. That was the Spartan's game. They can't fly to the edge or stretch the field. Climpsum is a different story. They can flank Bammer...

    You are hired!!!

    I guess nobody is buying my completely serious uniform strategy? Well, if you won't go for that, I offer the following: GT will not change the curriculum nor the requirements. I accept that and I embrace that, so, if I were AD, I'd quadruple the current resources that are applied towards the...

    Sugiura: Football career over, Trey Braun’s next goal is ambitious

    Yup. It is the right thing to do. I am proud of him.

    You are hired!!!

    The very first thing I would do is go to plain, non-descript uniforms like Penn ST, except in white and gold. They should look more dull than most teams practice unis. No names, no stripes, just plain colors and numbers. The pants should have twice as much material as needed for the rear end...

    Looking Ahead - OL

    Well said. I would also add that it is completely unrealistic to expect Devine to become as fast as Mason regardless of how good an off season he has. With that said, he doesn't have to be in order to become an absolute FORCE for us. I have only met the young man once for about 10 seconds at fan...

    Year in review. What say you!

    For me the biggest disappointment was just simply the sheer number of injuries. After that I would say the lack of cohesion along the OL and blocking skill position players. There weren't a lot of "clean" plays where reads happened in a normal flow. Third would be the lack of development...

    funny video of fsu kicker by alabama fan..

    For me that play is right up there with US beating the USSR in 1980 winter olympics (hockey- for you young people).

    Sugiura: Football career over, Trey Braun’s next goal is ambitious

    I have seen enough ex-football players blow up in weight over the years. I am glad to see him taking the bull by the horns. Yes, a marathon is a big goal, but people far less young and far less athletic do it all the time.

    Sugiura: Football career over, Trey Braun’s next goal is ambitious

    TECH players are just more impressive human beings than most other schools. Our kids are more interesting and sophisticated, without question.

    Military Bowl: Pitt vs Navy

    That, and there were a lot of 4 yard runs in 2015 that were turned into 7 yard runs in 2014. The running backs just made more of the plays that were there. I am speaking of ABs and BBs.

    Power shift in the ACC????

    It is really hard to tell on a year to year basis. Clemson certainly does look like they are building something that is lasting. We will see. There are many teams that look like they should be good in 2016, but people would have said the same about us last season. On a related note, I do feel...

    Military Bowl: Pitt vs Navy

    There is no rule that says you have to start the same guys for 4 years, resulting in seniors playing once evey 4 years. It is possible to have an experienced team pretty much every year. In fact, I would say it is the plan for most programs. You need to work your way up the depth chart and earn...

    Looking Ahead - OL

    Yes. Jam and sometimes hold. The center got some of that too.

    Looking Ahead - OL

    No doubt there was a ton of blitzing this year. Teams would run blitz and then just keep coming if it was a pass. It left a lot of open space that was only taken advantage of on occasion. The remedy is finding the open space whether one on one coverage with the WRs or just some dump offs to...

    Looking Ahead - OL

    Cheese, I hear what you are saying but very often the MLB is flying outside with AB motion BY DESIGN without any concern about the dive, whether successful or not. He isn't reading to see if he is needed for the dive before he takes off. It is just one of the wrinkles that DCs throw at us. Have...

    Looking Ahead - OL

    When the MLB is flying outside, sometimes we have the play side AB cut him. There were quite a few times this year where the OT and the AB were looking at each other after the play in confusion.

    Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    While the numbers, in terms of w-l records, you present are basically true, I really don't agree that we are less talented. Along the DL? Maybe, but other than that I am not so sure. Morgan Burnett may have been the best safety in CPJ's tenure and Bey Bey the best WR, but not dramatically so...

    Looking Ahead - OL

    There are some interesting possibilities. While Burden has the footspeed to play OT, I would be surprised if we moved him there. If we did, he wouldn't be making line calls. That is for sure. To me, Bryan has to stay at OT, no question. He moves so well, he just seems like a natural choice. Then...

    Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    I am I am pretty sure it was 17-7 against FBS in 2008-2009. 20 total wins in those two seasons (GW, JAX St twice). However, with that correction, your point still stands.

    Looking Ahead - OL

    Merry Christmas everybody! I am in FL on vacation, but thought I would get started with the end of season review. I will start with the embattled and controversial offensive line. Without a doubt, the lack of production out of this group was totally unexpected given the result from the prior...
