Hate to see it, too. Was hoping between him and Mills they would be a tandem like Days and Laskey. If he decided to transfer a couple weeks ago, he sure wasn't sour grapes, as his performance against Georgia showed a lot of heart. Maybe he has other professional options and wants to go into a...

The first time I saw Tech players taking pieces of hedges was in the Atlanta Journal in 1984, after the big, unexpected win in Athens. It think it was at that game the tradition started. Tech as a program had been in a tailspin for years and was trying to recover. The Yellow Jackets hadn't...

Tech football, despite the nominal talent gap, is not inferior to Georgia e.g. Vanderbilt or Kentucky, but actually a worthy peer as a program. The long losing streaks and the drought during the Chan Gailey years aside, Tech as a football program is generally competitive with UGA, if maybe just...

Pat and Ken Swilling were game-changers at their positions... 'Big Play' Wilie Clay was another good one... Lucious Sanford back in the '70s was big-time.

I never, ever feel good about this game... It's usually very close, regardless of how well either team is doing. UGA rarely blows Tech out, even when there's an imbalance in talent. And I've witnessed two games where Tech has blown the Dawgs out (once as a major underdog in '84 and as the...

Haven't been to Sanford Stadium since '76 or '77, when our Pop Warner teams got to go to games for selling a certain amount of raffle tickets. Would travel in large groups from Atlanta to Athens in chartered Marta buses. Saw them play Clemson a couple times and also Vanderbilt. Tech tickets...

With the Pitt win over Clemson (FG to win game), does Louisville get a shot at entering the playoff? Louisville's only loss so far is to Clemson, but Pitt was unranked heading into today, which made Clemson's loss the worse of the two.

Funny, but my dad was so good at math he could do much of it in his head... Tried to help me with my integral calculus and didn't understand why I wasn't getting it, especially in light of the fact that he hadn't solved a single calculus problem on paper in over 25 years! Not long afterwards...

I still think a lot of the problem is the Hill... There's only so much in the way of allocated resources for the GTAA, not to mention lack of moral support from the Hill. Allegedly, this was the principal reason DRad left for Clemson. The environment just wasn't right to generate sustained...

I was there in the late '80s / early '90s and also hung out at campus some throughout the '70s (attending games, football camp, or just hanging out with my dad who was doing experiments at the wind tunnel or doing research in the library). With the exception of SAC and some of the West Campus...

I think what was meant was that JT played lights out as if his job were in jeopardy, not that his job was actually in jeopardy! Many in the press have said that JT was the best QB ever to play for Paul Johnson, at least during Johnson's tenure at Tech. After the past one-and-half seasons, I...

Re: being coached by a supercomputer... Wouldn't be awesome at all... I wouldn't want to watch two teams coached by computers playing each other any more than two computers playing each other at chess. Part of what makes the game exciting (and infuriating at times) is the human element...

Married into a Duke family, so this is a fun game, especially since it's become competitive and not a guaranteed win anymore. They're in a down year this year, but they know what it's like to beat Tech and are not intimidated anymore, and on the flip side, they're no longer an automatic 'W' for...

Met only one MIT grad that I'm aware of, and he was a Tech student who went on to get his Masters at MIT. Did his undergraduate in mechanical engineering at Tech in just three years, then returned to Tech after MIT to get his Ph.D. Amazingly smart guy.

Re: 4 GT wins... Was thinking the same thing earlier this week. We haven't beaten UGA at home in seventeen seasons. That's seventeen seasons. And without the Jasper Sanks fumble and the 3rd-down blocked FG recovery by Godsey, it would have been twenty-seven seasons since we got a win at...

That's pretty interesting, and from a first-hand account... I watched a special on Ivy League football on YouTube, and it made it sound like these kids were all purely drawn from the student body. Guess it made for a good documentary, at least... Re: leaving power conference football... Was...

This is more of an offseason-type question, but I was purusing the UGA blog on the AJC, and the pass Buck Belue made to Lindsey Scott to beat Florida in 1980 was being heralded as the best play in the entire history of UGA football -- presumably more important than the play that ended The...

There was an expose a few years back that included some of Chan's players, how they ended up on the street after failing out or washing out of the program. This type of thing happens a lot more at the big factory programs, even to some of those who graduate (albeit with a worthless degree)...

The six years I played football, I wouldn't trade them for just about anything. If my son wanted to play, I wouldn't discourage him from doing so. No other sport in the world builds the kind of team bonding that football does. Baseball is more of an individualistic sport. You can go an...

I think after the game CPJ said he would still attempt the 4th and 1 if he had to do it all over again, but run a different play instead. Didn't like the call at all as it was happening... With the penetration Pitt was getting all day, I didn't like the idea of giving the ball to someone lined...
