    News Flash

    I have visions of JT next year being like Tyrod Taylor (iirc) for vt a couple of years back. He will just stand back there and avoid the rush until someone comes open down field. This year, though, the WRs are going to make the difference in our passing game. JT just has to get it close or hit...

    Blogging Thoughts on 2013 and 2014 Camps and Conclusions

    Good analysis, BG. Let me add one thing. In the nearly 50 years I've followed Tech, we have always had a hole somewhere in the defense. Remember when Smith and Fox were true freshmen, we were holding our breath about LB. In 1990, we were starting Rudolph, a converted OL at DT, and Marlon...

    Eric, icebreaker questions

    I remember in 2009, CPJ down played the uga game. Don't think he'll make that mistake again.

    What concerns me most right now

    Illeism? Redmule thought he was being Elitist.

    What concerns me most right now

    Redmule is not being negative. Redmule has watched Tech football since Dodd was coaching, and he knows the Tech tendencies thru many coaches and players. We may come right of the gate and crush all before us, but I expect one of those two games will be surprisingly tough if history is a guide...

    What concerns me most right now

    is the hidden danger in the schedule. Everyone seems to be thinking that the first three games are a cake walk. Tulane will be a struggle. Those boys will target that game. New stadium, big crowd, and their coaches have had the entire off season to study the TO. I suspect we're looking at a...

    Who gets moved to DL

    What I love about college football is that everybody has gaps they have to fill each year. Everybody. And many times, the gap is between the ears. That's what college coaches get paid to do: fill those gaps. Last year preseason, I had Bama fans telling me that this was the year Saban was...

    How do you feel about our special teams?

    Three years ago, ST were a train wreck. Two years ago, Defense was a train wreck. The offensive output was fairly consistent during that time. ST and Defense really put the Offense in some bad field position and game situations limiting what it could do. Offensively we were forced out of our...

    CPJ discusses QBs

    Well, while we're developing scenarios, here's mine. By the end (or maybe middle) of the VT/Open/Miami, JT is dinged up enough to sit out a game or two. TB comes in and roughnecks us to some wins (maybe even one against Miami). Then we see the platoon system for the rest of the year with CPJ...

    Athlon ACC Prediction

    Did you pick up an Athlon's from last year by mistake? 6-2 wins the Coastal almost certainly if history is any guide. 5-3 with the tie breaker probably wins it. Where do we get 5 wins from? UVA, Pitt, Duke, NC ST, and UNC are 5 that are eminently doable. Do they really scare you? What is...

    Defense depth chart

    Redmule has been watching Ga Tech football for too long. More often than not it seems, strengths turn into weaknesses and weaknesses turn into strengths. My point is that it is sorta like picking stocks. You can pick absolutely great stocks in a down market and get taken to the cleaners. You...

    Defense depth chart

    Well, since my wife tells me I'm stupid, I might just as well act like it on here, too. I just can't get too worried about the DL right now. How good you are depends on how good the other guy is. We're not operating in a a vacuum here. Before we crap our pants too much about the DL, I'd like...

    is it time Auburn & Tech renew their rivalry

    IIRC that was about the only big play Jackson ever had against us. They had a FB named Agee that was the big hoss in our games. Of course, the only reason Agee ran wild was because we were so focused on Jackson. Would love to see Jackson's run again. Anybody got a link?

    is it time Auburn & Tech renew their rivalry

    Saw some great games with Auburn. '78 when Drew Hill ran back the second half kickoff, '75 when they had Brooks, Cribbs, and Andrews and we still clawed out a win. Of course there were the uglies - '84 when we were down 41-0 at halftime and would have been worse except we had a goal line...

    Exciting times just around the corner!

    You can't pull out just one piece. The reason the safeties were able to stay back and have double coverage was because VL wasn't as good at running the option, so they didn't have to run support. Better option execution leads to not having an all out pass rush by the other team also. Pick...

    One more thing to love about Georgia Tech

    is it's originality in off season entertainment. While other schools are dealing with minor issues like stealing, rapes, drug busts, guns crime, academic fraud, assaults, armed robbery, and the like, we have to deal with bad grades in actual classes, low level staff dismissals, a qb leaving...

    2014 Schedule

    9-1 and in the top 15 when 8-2 Clemson comes to town. Saturday night game. ESPN. Record crowd since stadium reconfig. All day to tailgate with Clemson friends. Drunk by 4PM, sober by game time and nervous as an expectant father. Double up on the blood pressure medicine. Win the game, and...

    More good news

    You think maybe his Navy experience helps him in this area? We're not gonna get the factory football players, so how do we compete? Do something they can't do. Get the smartest guys with the most athletic talent and run the most complex hardest to defend schemes with them. In all...

    AJC: Myles Autry decision to chose GT over FSU

    Some of us are born hating uga. Others, especially those with uga family or friends, come to it more slowly. Which hates runs deeper? Maybe the slow hate because it is like being betrayed.
