    Oh wow, you were up late too and caught my post before I decided to delete it. I had realized several people made the same point about Lammers. But I guess it does bear repeating as he deserves all the praise he gets. :)

    Shoulda read the thread first, deleted for redundancy.

    If so I hope CJP and his staff remember to keep up the good coaching work even when they get better recruits. I would hate to see a reversion to just tossing the best athletes the ball and telling them to go play.

    I am not sure how to interpret what the standings say about the conference at this point other than it is tough, deep, and unkind to preconceptions.

    Rothstein . . .

    How about in this game? Another win where a lead in the last 5-8 minutes was solidly protected and even built upon for another 12 point final margin. Were you still as nervous or are you beginning to recover some? The coaches really have the team playing so hard. I loved the defense they...

    My goodness . . . the passing! Listened to what I could on the radio but can't wait to watch this in full after seeing those few plays. How can a team that is so inexperienced put together so many good passes? At least when they are playing at their best like tonight.

    I thought of Cremins tonight when I noticed how much CJP is just going to ride 2-3 players all the way and operate with not much of a bench. Of course, this is far more of necessity for Pastner than it was for Cremins and I hope it doesn't end up that way year after year. I think it helped...

    Redmule is doing this internet thing rite.

    Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    A flaw in your line of argument. There is no combination of coaches that could be hired at Tech and consistently recruit in the top 30s. Reasons: the way these rankings are generated, the unethical treatment of student athletes needed to rise in the rankings (related to the first point on...

    Conference reputation?

    I agree with you again @WreckedbyWhiskey. I think the competing visions primarily exist among fans since I think the Institute has shown in its deeds a consistent vision for its athletic programs going back decades. I did suggest that I think the most significant ways to become a national...

    Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    All the argument over what to call the offense just proves CPJ's originality, or at least his ability to draw from a number of distinct offensive schemes to build his own system. He is candid about this actually. Hence, I prefer to just call it a "spread option" like he does. I gather that...

    Conference reputation?

    Agreed. I am fine with Tech's approach. I respect it and admire it. I like the thrill of every so often catching lightning in a bottle with a program that ends up with the right combo of talent they can get, heavily 5th year senior laden and led team, etc., where they can win the ACC and an...

    Conference reputation?

    I agree and like your post, however, we may disagree on the direction you lean about what is left unsaid and implied about being a national caliber program. I believe that everything realistically necessary to be a consistent national contender (as opposed to lightning in a bottle chances)...

    Conference reputation?

    Just look at final rankings and the first projections for rankings for next year. In last 5 years ACC played in the championship 3 times and won 2, SEC played 4 times and won 2, Big X played and won 1 and Pac 10 played and lost 1 and then ND played and lost 1. Only the SEC and ACC had two...
