    MEMORIES...(first game)

    Well there you go, it must have been 1974. Just seemed like 1975. ;) 1974 makes sense because I graduated High School in 75. That would make football season in 74. It was a long time ago... A really long time ago...

    MEMORIES...(first game)

    My first game was as a recruit in 1975 against Notre Dame. The group of recruits walked around the end zone where Notre Dame was warming up. My recollection is that the players were beyond big. Made me question if football was really in my future. Only time I was on the field for a Tech...

    Tier 9: Yikes

    The upcoming season is in my opinion, critical to CGC. I still feel he needs an upset win and to show improvement over his first two years. I know he has a 7 year contract. But year three is important. If coaching changes are needed, he needs to make the team successful.

    uga @ Tech for 2021 COFH

    The Georgia fans I know worry that Tech can pull the upset. They hate Paul Johnson and his high school offense. Lots of false bravado about ending the series. The recent years Tech pulled the upset were miserable for them.

    DMo to SC

    Derrick Moore will be missed. Especially by me. Loved his emotion.

    Tier 9: Yikes

    I still want to see game to game improvement. Last year was such an anomaly it is hard to tell and make much of a conclusion as to whether there was game to game improvement. And would love to see an upset.

    CGC impact

    I have one example, my son and daughter and law are Tech grads and are supporting Tech football. Hopefully I will be dying off a few years from now...

    Tier 9: Yikes

    Have not been on here for a while and it looks like there is still lots of different opinions. I think that is a good thing. In general I agree that Tech is in a lower tier. With two 3 win seasons, how could you argue Tech is not a bottom 25 team. I am in agreement with those that believe...

    30 year anniversary of the 1991 Citrus Bowl win

    Wow. Thirty years passed quickly. We had a crew that went down and stayed at the Peabody with the team. Rode the elevator with Shawn Jones and was impressed with his maturity. Great party afterwards. I tell the story that my eldest son was created after the Virginia game, was with us for...

    The Handshake

    A thought on this incident. It is a learning experience for CGC. If he in fact did not mean to snub Narduzzi, he will learn his lesson and never do it again to any coach. Give him the benefit of the doubt and let it slide. I wonder if privately he did anything to mend the fence?

    Kicker is still a big void that needs to get filled.

    Assistant Coaching Evaluation

    The question was asked previously as to whether we have seen good coaching. I think that is a legitimate question. What are some examples of what folks consider good coaching this year. I'll start out with Coach Coleman and Coach Knight have done a good job considering the injuries and...

    Collins report card after 2 seasons

    To grade Collins, you have to take into account the staff as well. These are the areas I think the coaching staff is failing. The place kicking kicking game is embarrassing. At the game last night, our gunners ran past the ball on every kick off. Must be under control. I think I have seen...

    Game 10 #PITTvsGT Predictions

    I am surprised that the poll has Pitt by 14+ right now. It is a home game under the lights. Prime time for an upset.

    Game 10 Media #PITTvsGT

    I agree that wins and losses matter. But this year I think the losses matter less. This year is a mess. I will be going to the game tomorrow, but without the usual excitement and expectation. Sure, I will yell at the ineptitude of the ACC officials, wonder why the defensive backs don't...

    College Football in 2020 is an Aberration

    I think the poster with the double/triple asterisk is right. 2020 will go down in history as the most asterisk season ever.

    #DUKEvsGT Postgame Discussion

    I just watched the replay. My thought watching the game live and after the replay was there were two sloppy teams on the field with many mental errors. Seems like after both teams had extended time between games, it was like a first game of the season for both teams. Tech was the better team...
