My favorite coach since Pepper Rodgers... well, maybe tied with Coach Ross for that distinction. Thanks for the memories, and enjoy the retirement, Coach Johnson!
Did anyone notice, CPJ was the first coach at Tech to retire since the Dodd era. I was in the womb the last time this happened...
Coach Dodd - retired
Coach Foster - fired/left?
Coach Fulcher - left
Coach Rodgers - fired
Coach Curry - left
Coach Ross - left
Coach Lewis - fired...
I didn't know much about CPJ when he was first mentioned as a possible HC hire. I didn't follow Div 2 sports, so wasn't familiar with his successes at Southern. But I knew he'd turned Navy around from a doormat type of team to being pretty competitive... I don't know what it was, it was a...
I used to like the NFL, but don't anymore and haven't for quite some time. The NFL used to be full of great personalities. Think Bradshaw, and Stabler, and Staubach, and Mean Joe, and Tarkenton, etc. Each team had its own personality as well, often reflecting the persona of city it...
This past Saturday reminded me a lot of the early '80s -- except we were not competitive with anyone back then (except maybe Alabama). Right now we are competitive with the teams on our level. UGA is on an entirely different level now, which should be pretty obvious. Jake Fromm has grown a...
Clarke was featured in my health book in 5th grade back in the '70s. He was shown as an example of someone who could function at a high level with diabetes. It's actually how his front teeth fell out.
If you're ever in Charleston for an extended period, make it a point to go out and watch the Stingrays at the Coliseum in North Charleston. They are one of the more dominant teams in the ECHL and are so popular here, you almost forget the NHL even exists. They were fairly popular before the...
^^ This is one of the better responses I've seen. ^^ It's a tough issue. No one likes to lose. But where does one go from here? In some ways, it's a little like Pepper Rodgers at the end. Coach Curry was unable to turn it around until about '84. That was about 3+ seasons of irrelevancy...
Gregory didn't bottom out and stay there. He was actually trending upwards, albeit at the pace of an old Ford Tri-Motor trying to gain altitude on takeoff. No one expected him to get to the NIT in his last season and give a respectable showing... I think they should have at least let him play...
I could see UGA potentially losing to UF this year. That would be a momentum-killer for them, in terms of their season, what with all the high expectations this year and the blown chance last season. I thought after the Louisville game that we had turned a corner. Don't know what happened...
Anyone remember that CPJ actually worked with June Jones out at Hawaii, doing the run-and-shoot? He wouldn't have been part of June Jones's offensive staff if he couldn't coach and operate this system. Had he had the resources and full backing at Tech... say, a Crecine/Homer Rice type backing...
