    Ed Danforth? RIP

    I know posts like this are heretical around here

    I understand where CPJ is coming from on this, as most of you do. Nevertheless, WB makes a very good point. We should beat Ugag when we hold them to 13 points. Turnovers killed us and you usually ain't gonna beat anyone by turning the ball over time and again. As CPJ has repeated over and over...

    The "missed assignments" issue

    Tenuta on steroids.

    Is it Possible

    I'd much rather be lucky than good, especially on the golf course or playing pool.

    Is it Possible

    Excellent point. On SEC fan boards you see "stupid ref", "stupid coach", "stupid call". Those guys know a whole lot about "stupid" except what to do about it.

    Is it Possible

    Is it possible? I think so, depending on who you ask. I tend to cut coaches a lot of slack by remembering the famous Pepper Rogers statement, "How would you like to make your living by what goes through the minds of teenagers." For an analogy, think about dogs and cats. Dogs, given to their...

    Richt's gone

    Now I'm really confused. Didn't we beat Jimbo and lose to Richt this year? Getting old is far worse than I ever thought.

    Richt's gone

    Now rule out Saban and I can roll over and go back to sleep.

    Richt's gone

    I had a chilling thought. What if this is what the Spurrier/SC resignation was really about?

    Player Praise Thread

    D. J. White. That is all that has to be said.

    MY Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket

    Maybe "effort" isn't the right word. Dunno. Let's just say that we saw a lot of "fire in their belly," as stated by B Lifsey, and that was not the first time this season by a long shot. Our young team has been playing their hearts out every play, giving themselves a shot at victory even after...

    MY Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket

    JT cares, Dottie, and so does Joe. I wonder what humorous thing Joe said to him to try to relax him some.

    MY Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket

    A fitting message for your post number 222, GPD. (Tech vs. Cumberland) PS: I love this team's effort. Tough breaks, tough outcome, but lots and lots of heart.

    WTF happened...sorta rant

    I'm not saying the team is being demotivated, Skeptic. I'm not saying that at all. They go out each game and play their butts off, so how could that translate to being demotivated? Yellojello gets what I am suggesting. I asked who is at the top? I would suggest that we fans and alumni are the...

    WTF happened...sorta rant

    I have found that it can be difficult to motivate people but easy to demotivate people. Either way, the buck stops at the top. So who is at the top?

    Gregory and Overcoaching

    Cremins was a once-in-a-lifetime gift and one of our greatest coaches, IMHO. He wasn't highly sought when we got him and he was a fantastic fit for Tech. He, himself, was a study in team chemistry insofar as the Tech athletic program was concerned. Players liked him, recruits liked him, alumni...

    Happy Thanksgiving and Dead Dwag, everyone.

    Hate Week.

    In keeping with the season, I am thankful for the Athens Turkeys that provide us this grand opportunity to salvage our season. :punch:

    Tyler Stargel Last Game

    Tyler's torn ligament ankle problem sounds like one I suffered when I was a youngster. It kept being re-injured until finally they put it in a cast for 6 weeks. After that it was still very weak and the doc told me it might get completely well if I did not turn it again for ten years. So I kept...

    WTF happened...sorta rant

    A great memory refresher for me also, and all true IMHO. You kindly left out the fact that our extremely limited weight "room" was outside on the track underneath the old north stands because we didn't even have the Edge building until Homer raised enough money to finance it. The old artificial...
