I always wondered if TB became the term because of the power-I formation? Also, my memory of the term “running back” is that this became the term in pro ball years ago when everyone was running a kind of vanilla offense with no distinctive formation. If you had two backs one might be called...

Well done.

Well, as I alluded in my introductory comments, the term QB, HB and FB have surprising origins. They are not derived from American football but Irish rugby. I will not bother with the lengthy explanation since anyone can look it up but it had to do with the position in a formation relative to...

Yeah, knew it was a rover but couldn’t remember roof’s exact term for it.

It’s been the story out in the public sphere for some time. Don’t know original source but accepted as gospel now.

If you had the right personnel, a killer defense would be a 5-1-5. Would require an elite none tackle, super athletic defensive ends and linebacker, and two safetys who were tough with run support.

Anxiety is high, hug?

I read somewhere that it will be 2 G5 champions but I haven’t gone back to see where I saw this. I’m leaning towards thinking the new format is a big improvement. Obviously we will have to see if it mitigates sufficiently the subjective biases that have effected the process in the past.

“Not helping your brother” is something I’ve observed at times. Moving without the ball does not happen with consistency with some players. If a player picks up his dribble make sure you work to give him an open player to pass to. If a player is starting toward the basket don’t stand around...

Duh. Most of us have wanted a legitimate big man for years. I keep hoping. But George, as he matures, is closer to the type of point guard we have needed for some time also. Let me put it another way. A great point guard can make your bigs play better. A great big can sometimes make your...

Wonder which year showed the biggest jump for Tech? Amazing that Tech leads the ACC but, like you, not sure I understand why.

I think we are all on the same page here we just emphasize it differently. Again, I like Sturdy but he is a role player not a point guard. His lateral quickness limitations also hinder the offense since his movements and looks are kind of in one direction. Never see him cause a major...

The grad program you need, and can get accepted into, is often not in the college you graduated from. I have a doctor who was undergraduate at Florida and went to med school at FSU. He’s very conflicted during football season. 😊

I remember well those jacket fans who started wanting CPJ gone long before 2014. Later, when your observation was pointed out to them, they still didn’t like the visual of a pitch even though it was similar to a run and shoot offense and had the same effect. Those in the Tech family who could...

Don’t disagree with any of this.

Does your wife no about this?

I get that but, every once in a while? I used to hate it when we couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn and a team switched to a zone and said, “Be my guest.”

I fear people think I rag on Sturdy. I’m not. I just think he is a role player. We will have far more athletic guards in the future and George may be the start of that.

Yes, I’m kidding around and making sport of those who lose their minds with a new coach.

It’s who we are. 😊
