What an interesting thread. But we might be missing the main point. Our depth. Are our starters All-Americans? Nope, but a couple possibly could be with monster seasons. Gotsis and White might have two or three perfect games and pad their statistics enough to get the media's attention...

Just remember these were the same guys that voted us 5th in the Coastal last year. Given that, it's probably true that the people posting on this board know more about ACC football than the people that write the columns. Weren't we shut out of first string all ACC players last year at season's...

CPJ would have made a good Tech Freshman Chemistry or Calc I teacher. He acts and sounds just like the ones I had back in the early 70's.

Back to favorite CPJ quote: I don't have the exact wording but something like "I'm happy to be coming to Georgia Tech as their new head coach" ~ December 2007

The good news is that all the world will get to see Watson and Thomas on the same field. Going to be a great game, but I think (hope) Clemson lost too much on defense and the best OC they had for a while. Will probably be like the 2009 ACC Championship: no punts, lots of long plays, death...

I agree about the QB being the key. In the last roughly 30 years, we have had 5 good QBs IMHO. Dewberry, Jones, Hamilton, Godsey, and Thomas. Dewberry and Godsey were awful and became very good as redshirt juniors. Hamilton just barely escaped being benched as a redshirt sophomore. Thomas...

The reason I am on the Dynasty side is because we have been so close for about two decades. If we had given the HC job to O'Leary or Friedgen when Ross left. Often just a couple of players or a couple of years off. For instance, imagine if Brooking and Rogers who left in '97 had been around...

Wasn't it George Will that said football is the most American of games: instances of extreme violence separated by committee meetings.

I'm starting to get a little concerned about OL depth. Shaq is gone, Griffin is out, O'Reilly and Brigham gone. An injury or two here preseason or in early games to the four returning starters, and suddenly we are very young across the OL. The OL is the heart of this team. If the four...

I sorta like it. We have "Death Marches" after all. Our B Back "Hammers" their DL, and cut blocks resemble a "Sickle" the way the defenders go down. We are going to oppress millions of college football fans. No doubt that CPJ is an unelected Tyrant on the sidelines. A Hive is a sort of...

After the uga game last year, I posted that IMO something seismic had happened in the series with the way that game played out. With the exception of 1990, our recent wins against them were usually due to the finesse of Friedgen's or Johnson's offense or unexpected big plays like Lee's kickoff...

It was Willie Clay in Bobby Ross's last game as head coach.

Had me sweating bullets all over again though it was terribly cold and windy the day of the game. Nobody could make a FG in the first half. But the VT Turkey mascot with the big floppy feet kicked three or four at half time to prove it could be done.

Think maybe she had watched too many movies where the 110 pound girl knocks out the 200 pound man with one punch.

I hate them for having to watch them celebrate too many unearned wins over Tech in the last 50 years. Wins awarded them by the officials, by fluke plays, by stupidity on our part, by missed extra points, by our FG's hitting the upright or theirs just hooking inside the upright, by injuring our...

I remember with a smile the MSU guys sitting a few rows in front of me at the OB. They just kept repeating, "We can't stop a damn dive play."

I just look back at last year for an answer. On offense, we were starting a new QB that the consensus said was too small and fragile to last the year plus his passing had not turned any heads when he was a R-FR. Byerly would be the starter by mid October. We were also starting three new OL; a...

Nothing, Tech degree, or anything else you can do will benefit you or contribute more to your long term happiness as much as finding the right spouse at an early age. There's no shame in making that your highest priority in college, man or woman.

Standing on the Hill one night in the Spring of 1974 along with a couple of thousand other naked Tech guys during the streaking craze as Dean Dulles led us in singing Rambling Wreck.
