If anyone thinks Trump and Obama are world class narcissists, they should have met Pepper. He was not easy to take, even while he was winning, although winning softened the sharp edges a lot. Unfortunately, he lost as much as he won and we weren't too disappointed to see him go.

I think they changed the following year or soon thereafter.

FYI Corner: Some of the better-known names on that team were Billy Shaw, #71; Rufus Guthrie, #63; Larry Stallings, Stan Gann, #12; Taz Anderson, #88; Marvin Tibbits, #15; Chick Graning, #26; Walter Howard, #16; Bobby Caldwell, #55; Billy Williamson, #30, Tom Winningder, #25, Gerald Burch, #86...

Meanwhile I sat in the lower east stands with my date while wearing a coat and tie as seniors did in those days.

Bad. I want the team to have fire in the belly and blood in their eyes. They have something to prove. Again.

The key word here is "raw" talent. They will all continue to improve with each snap and by the time they are juniors and seniors...look out. Some, like Searcy and especially Gray have already arrived, IMHO. All Marshall needs now is an opening and a seam, but after he develops his vision and...

Let's face it. We don't have a ton of playmakers. That makes it a whole lot easier for the opposition to gang up on the ones we do have.

Or maybe the word is out to focus on those two special athletes by staying away from AJ and putting your best athletes on Qua. (And, of course, go after our QB since he is also a special athlete from whom all good things must flow if Tech is to move the ball.)

And yet another Tech icon is gone. He usually had a smile on his face, always up to something with Tech on his mind. Previously an end, Taz moved to fullback and confounded defenses by being "a hard-driving fullback that could catch the ball"...not often seen back in the day. A fine athlete...

This makes my day. A 4.0/4.0 selection, IMHO. Now if we beat Clemson tonight they may have to take me out on a stretcher.

I think about our Jackrabbit start to the 2015 season and conclude that all that glitters is not gold. Then I think about our poor start to the 2014 season and suddenly my 2016 glass is half full. That is all.

A great analysis as usual, Boomer. Above are some quotes from your post that fairly sum up the game I saw as well. Overall, I was very pleased that we could walk away with a win and was doubly pleased we found a way to win in the clutch.

Yeah, man. Nothing beats just getting 'er done and your Cremins example is a very good one. The Strategic Planning process works well to establish organizational goals, strategies and team action plans to get everyone on the same page. Keeping them on page, however, is a different matter and...

Honeycomb helmets, no less. Oh well. Like my old coach said, "You aren't going out there to look pretty!"

I agree with everything except C. I don't know anything about Danny's buyout, but I do know that our baseball program is in better shape now than at anytime in its history. Danny's leadership should get the lion's share of the credit for that and I, for one, want him to stay. I also agree 100%...

OK, but before we go rainbow chasing show me the money to lure a better head coach plus a better staff than we now have. I read that when the Braves were really good, Ted had opened his wallet and the Braves had one of the top five salary schedules in baseball. Now Ted is gone, the Braves are in...

It may be hard for youngsters to believe, but even Bobby Dodd had critics who wanted him to go so they could bring in some young, energetic, hotshot (e.g., Pepper Rogers) who "probably could" win every game every year of every decade. Ditto Bobby Cemins (who naysayers said couldn't coach). Even...

Xs and Os weakness was the popular rap on Bobby, but I vividly recall one game against UNC where Bobby out-coached Dean Smith during the game. From that time on, I had an even deeper respect for Bobby as a near perfect all around coach.

Yeah, these plus Bobby Jones (as iceater 1969 mentioned) are slam dunks. Suggest you add Heisman. Later on please consider names like Heppler, Hall, Morris.

Fantastic news about a fantastic person. Go get 'em, Adam!! (y)
