    Todd Stansbury counting on more football wins this season... How many...

    Just like you:) - I meant that graduated in the late 70s and early 80s, sorry. We were on campus at the same time. I can't remember the name of the guy in charge of all the ticketing stuff, but when they moved the field (away from the east upper btw), I was invited to come down and pick out...

    Todd Stansbury counting on more football wins this season... How many...

    This is not uncommon in my experience of my alumni friends of the late 70s and early 80s. All of my friends in the east upper deck are not renewing their tickets after 30+ years. It is surprising to me how unresponsive the ticket sales representatives are with my requests for information. The...

    Sean Bedford hanging up the headphones

    Another with a BAE, and am impressed with any student athlete that gets an engineering degree while playing a P5 sport. All the best Sean.

    One question for each ACC Program

    It will be interesting to see what Long and Wienke can do with Sims. Those two hires make me think CGC is putting all his eggs in the Sims basket. I hope the light comes on and Sims has a great season.

    Juanyeh at the Combine

    Did I see this correct? He ran a 4.6 in the 40? Crap, I ran a 4.55 in 1975 on a stopwatch. Not an impressive showing in 2022. All the best for Juanyeh, hope he lands somewhere.

    2022 Spring Game

    I plan on being there, but I am one of the old retired guys that can take the time to attend. But this assures limited attendance, and it is clear to me that is the intent. Not sure why you would want to limit attendance? Having Friday games when I was working was impossible to make. Now a...

    Interesting hypothesis but I believe the coaches play the athletes that prove themselves in practice and in the games. I favor the idea that they are more likely to play the younger guys they recruited if they were the better player. Which has me wondering about the young talent in the...

    Should the Fire Geoff Collins thread be locked?

    This. And folks question why the thread should be locked?

    2022 Schedule??

    I respect your optimism and recollection of the season last year. As I read through your post, I thought what a damning comment on coaching. You detailed to me the reasons of discontent with this coaching staff. All phases of the game led to defeat, the offense, defense and special teams. I...

    Just watched the replay. That was fun.

    2022 Schedule??

    In years past, this would not look like a tough schedule. It should be that the only for sure loss would be to the defending national champions. And in years past, as a fan, I always believed there was a chance of an upset. Next year, let's get Clemson to overlook Tech and have a miserable...

    What Was The Best Part of The 2020-21 Football Season?

    The highlight of the season was the win over UNC. Got to go with my sons and was the only game Tech played well.

    Getting Specific about Improvement

    Something Specific that drives me crazy in the defensive backfield is not turning and finding the ball. When your receiver turns to look, what is happening? Get your head turned. Less likely pass interference will be called. Especially in zone coverage. Refs do not call having a hand on a...

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

    ibeebalin, This post is not in response to yours. This post is about noting you did in game video analysis a while back. Very informative, especially things like linebacker and defensive linemen gap fills. Where players made good plays and where they "not so much". Any chance during the...

    IF THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS

    Nothing for me will change. I will continue to do the same things I always have. Treat my friends that are georgia alum with respect. Ignore the media hype. Listen to Uncle Lou after a dawg loss. Life is good.

    Poll: What do you hope to see next season?

    How do I think next season will go? 2019 was disappointing, especially since the team looked so poorly coached. 2020 was Covid and so strange going to a game with masks. Not disappointing just supremely strange. I was at the Clemson game and I have not seen a worse Tech team performance...

    Why is Thacker still employed?

    I agree that finding a DC to accept a position at this time is problematic. Having CGC as the de facto DC might work well during practices and recruiting, but his inability to handle in game management is questionable and would only be more taxed if trying to handle the DC job during a close...

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

    Interesting question. I pondered this as well. A job at Tech is likely a one year gig right now with Collins' seat very hot.
