    did cpj really yell for austin to "get away from the ball"?

    Agreed. The fact that he looked around first, and saw no danger, means that his head was screwed on right. There was very little risk in him picking the ball up after seeing that there were no maroon shirts within 25 yards of him. I'm especially glad because it worked out AND made him look like...

    starting OL for Sat

    Well, I hate to lose Shamire. That is for sure. But I will say this, I don't think Klock looked right for the RG position. He is a high effort kid, but he seems like a better fit at tackle to me. His speed is one of his better attributes and he is a little undersized for the inside. I am a...

    UVA Predictions

    We have an offensive game similar to UNC. They don't score nearly as much as the tarholes. GT 34 - UVA 20

    Targeting, without a doubt? Jimbo thinks so.

    I agree with the spirit of the rule. I will say that much. However, as I have said, along with many others, it needs to be re-written. IMHO the rule as written, with a slight tweak, involving tacklers wrapping up should suffice. I really don't see how a tackler who is wrapping up can actually...

    Regarding our young guys...

    I imagine this year will mean a lot for MJ. He will have now gotten second team reps all season in practice. That, I'm sure, will develop him more than previous years.

    CPJ has his doctorate in option football and we are just in grade school trying to learn, or at least I know I am. The more I watch, the more I learn, and then the more I appreciate him. End of story.

    Most exciting play in Tech history?

    My list: CPJ Era only: 1. Miracle on Techwood 2015 2. The Pick 2014 3. Miracle on North Ave 2008 4. JD's dive play that went to the house on the cutback immediately after the fumbled KO by UGAg 2008 5. Roddy's skate down the sideline UGA 2008 6. The Kick 2014 7. JD's game saving TD run at BC...

    4th and Stewart

    I think the hit on Lynch was a good play by the defense, but man, you have to hang on to that football. Lynch was lazy with his hands and didn't bring it in tightly and quickly enough. Call me what you will, but CL has to make that play. He will tell you the same thing. He didn't see the hit...

    Targeting, without a doubt? Jimbo thinks so.

    I don't see how you can call targeting if a tackler wraps up. That makes no sense to me at all.

    baffling Oline still struggling

    One thing I see is that we are getting held a lot more this year. Holding, you say? Yes, the defensive linemen holding our offensive linemen who are trying to run past to the second level. It has become blatant, but never called. If it doesn't get called, I don't blame teams for doing it. It is...

    I can't go either Whiskey. Too bad. It should be pretty wild.

    Most exciting play in Tech history?

    The Muff and the Catch was pretty good too.

    how many times have you watched the blocked kick and Lance?

    Yup. Far greater potential disaster, on average, by having the kick blocked backwards. You still have to keep people off the kicker or you are asking for trouble.

    To all the people complaining about National attention.

    I spoke with many FSU fans on the way out and they were all awesome. That was a tough pill to swallow for them but every person I saw was classy and handled it well.

    First word you said after the block?

    I don't remember exactly, but since I sit in the bottom rows of the upper north, I could see early on it had a chance to go all the way back. I remember yelling " he has a chance" then "go, go, go" and just jumping up and down screaming wildly as I saw him cut back that last time. I ended up in...

    Injuries

    I have no idea if it is serious or not, but I saw it on film. He was the recipient of a Patrick Gamble leg whipping heel shot to the kidney area as both were spinning to the ground on a tackle. It looked like it would have hurt real bad. Kidney shots are illegal in boxing for a reason.

    Film Study - Defense vs FSU

    Doing these defensive studies is so difficult because so much of the action is out of the picture. I had forgotton to set my DVR before leaving the house for the game, so I had to rely on the ESPNU replay at 4am. Well, that is an abridged version of the game, so this writing will be as well...

    GT 'ain't lost to no damn chumps

    The last thing we need to do is underestimate anybody we have left. We could lose this weekend if we don't get our helmets screwed back on straight. Recovering after blowing the cork out of the bottle, like last night, can be a challenge. Monday afternoon needs to arrive with a lot of focus for...

    What the announcer said.....

    Speaking of Gotsis (I know this is going to sound like sour grapes), may I ask what the diference was between his big lick on Golson and the targeting call he got against UNC? To me, both of those hits looked identical and clean.
