    Exploiting Secondaries

    CPJ said there are basically three things that can happen when you throw the ball and two of them aren't good. (I can think of four things, and three of them aren't good.)

    Nesbitt vs Lothridge

    Glad you brought them up. Larry Good way more than lived up to his last name and Mike Kelley was competitive as one of the best pure passers I can recall at Tech.

    Nesbitt vs Lothridge

    Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges except that Nesbitt and Lothridge were both outstanding warriors. They both simply did not like losing and refused to do so. Therein lied each one's greatest strength. Lothridge, as Dodd said, gave Tech two extra scholarships to award...

    Nesbitt vs Lothridge

    I watched both of them. Nesbitt vs. Lothridge has to be considered in the context of the times, coaches, and game rules. One on one today, it would be lopsided in favor of Nesbitt. But you can say that about just about any player from the 1960s compared to today's players.

    Locker Room Renovation Underway

    Guys, do many of you recall the locker room under the East Stands during the '50s? You know, back in the days when Tech was King of the SEC. (y)

    Favorite COFH Game

    I'll always remember that game because the long run by Bussell. My preacher attended with me; he was a big UGA fan and was hoping for a big win for the dwags. The Bussell run really got to him. Sad...not!

    Let the Hype train Begin...

    Looking at the last 3 years, let me just just quote some words of wisdom by a very experienced head football coach: "It's never as bad as it seems and never as good as it seems."

    Matt Kuchar

    He is a very nice guy. Exactly the kind of Tech man that makes you real proud.

    GT family need some prayers

    Prayers for you and your family here, also. The thought that I would offer is for the family to celebrate her great life and the release of her soul to a heavenly eternity without pain and restraint.

    Corey Dennis

    We used to do that. It was comical to see us old farts smoking on the sidelines and then running onto the field with a cigarette still in our mouth. We played against the high school seniors only once, but we had such a good time we reassembled each spring for several years and played each other...

    Question about a past coach?

    O'Leary's "abruptness" is what I liked most about him. He spoke at an alumni club meeting I attended right after he became head coach, and I will always remember when someone asked him if he was afraid of what the players might think (about something he said). He replied that he didn't worry...

    Question about a past coach?

    Yep. Bobby was a great sideline coach...maybe the best in coaching. But he was simply not equipped to be an AD. And I agree with your comments about Bill Curry. The real story about Tech Athletics is Homer Rice. He was a college sports genius, although even the best make some mistakes along the...
