Nor should you. I watch ELI, Lavette , Bell, Choice and Dwyer in their first games. None had a coming out party impacting 3 areas (passing, running and returns) like this guy. A sign of a great back is when you pick up the stat sheet thinking someone impacted the game with 110 yards and then...
There is absolute proof. The portal delivered a 5 star and multiple 4 star transfers and a top 10 ga athlete last cycle and produced 2x 4 star running backs in two years. The last 4 star back (Dwyer) was also recruited by Collins when he was here. I loved Paul but facts are facts.
Let me remind...

Something that is totally lost in the PJ vs CGC discussion is the one thing that made them attractive to GT ADs.
They both came here convinced they could win a championship when others didn’t.
PJ because of his belief in his system and history of punching above his weight class and Collins...
No new news here. For all the young guys who started following Tech after 1985, you should get the book TAKE DOWN. Tells the true story of Jan Kemp and how UGA terminated her and had grades changed for 9 key players for the 1981 bowl game. Resulting in tainted 1980 championship. You just can’t...
We should be happy about the hype and the fact 8-18 year old ball players are thinking about the 404 and the ATL and wearing Adidas uniforms.
I have no idea where the program is going but I have witnessed one remarkable fact. Our current coach landed 4 star running backs from Georgia during...
I’m surprised in a good way. Beats out last years starter and the QB at the top of our recruiting board last cycle. Sims was off the table as a FSU commit.
I never weighed in on the debate but felt like Graham would start the year. I also never considered Yates a possibility. He obviously had...
It’s a tough call between Marco and Pat Swilling. Even their NFL careers were similar. I’ll go with Pat for two reason. 1. Hell, he was the NFL defensive player of the year in 91 and he gets bonus points for being a SWILLING!:)
So glad to see he graduated and is headed into the 40 year plan. I remember a brief conversation with his Mother ( Gwinnett County Teacher) Shortly after Chris signed with us. She was very proud, as she should be.
I didn’t take it that way. It is funny / ironic. If you want to see something funny, we need to see A clip of PJ being asked about his wishbone offense! Don’t you dare call his spread option the DAD GUM WISHBONE!! Or even better, we need the sideline clip of Bobby Bowden turning to Micky...
The love for Sims comes from the thought that he would only win the position if he can make the throws. Best athlete on the field along with the best passer = great for us.
Personally, he must be a stud athlete if he is more athletic than James.
I don’t care who wins. I just know my memory...
Very much aware that both were in the wishbone. Eddie Lee was in The I formation his last year. For what it’s worth, I was watching from the band section while my bride was marching and twirling on the 45 yard line. My point was their play translated to the next level and the NFL drafted them...
It’s funny. I understand that if you are younger than 55, Ivory and Sims are not in your equation. At 64, I did see Lenny Snow but not the 1950s studs.
Problem is, if we go back that far we are talking single platoon football with the RBs playing both ways.
I have great respect for our history...
There is a lot of cool info in this post about a lot of great memories. After reflection and someone reminding me about a forgotten back, I’m revising me answer.
I stated the best two backs on our roster would be Choice and Dwyer for 1 season and the absolute best back was/is Eddie Lee Ivory...
