I hope the candidate who runs the team the best and makes the offense the most effective comes out as the leader in Spring regardless of our preference.

dressedcheesid: There is one problem with this idea. All the other majors and minors are career paths and the students have to pay the college in order to obtain these teachings regarding their careers. The football players are getting free scholarships, some stipends, free food, free housing...

sl1m75: Personally, I don't fault players when they transfer, it is their career, and they have the right to determine it. However, there is nothing against the fans posting their thoughts about the possibility of reasons for leaving. That is what this board is about, discussions of actions...

There is only one athlete attending Tech that I made a flat statement that he was going to be a star as soon as I saw him play a game, and that was Mark Price in basketball. I expect a lot of it was his schooling by his Dad who was a basketball coach, but it was obvious to me that Mark Price had...

Stinger90: Good One!

Well, I have not watched a pro game of basketball, baseball, or football in well over 30 years. I quit when the players started making too much money. I will now quit watching or supporting college sports. I guess High School sports is all that is left. This will be the downfall of college...

Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, and Michigan are perennials. Their focus has always been on basketball, and they seem to always be near the top. For awhile, the ACC was the definte leader of the basketball conferences, but I have seen a little drop-off in the past few years. We still have some good...

The only problem I saw with Bobby Knight was his mental emotional status. He could not control his own temper.

gtpi: If I remember correctly, I may have been the one that posted the same about Hewitt. I still think PH could have survived, but he left his first passion and tried to adapt to the ACC style of basketball, which took him out of his comfort zone. In his his first coaching job, his offense was...

I agree with "JerryTheJacket", it sounds iffy at this time at 370lbs. However, the Depth Chart at the end of Spring Training will tell the tale as to his progress.

There are reasons and there are excuses for actions. Unless a person knows the truth of the matter, it could be one or the other. Even if the information comes from straight from the person, it could still be either a reason or an excuse. With all the fransfers over the past couple of years, and...

Since Day's has a ton of experience at LB, it would not be difficult for him to return to that position should his tryout at DE falter in the Spring. If it does not prove effective, he can move back to LB in the Fall. It appears that LB is one of our deeper positions.

Eric: I understand that they may have plans not to red shirt Custis, but at this time there is no way to know how effective he will be. As I have said in numerous posts, I have watched Tech Football since the mid-forties plus the other teams around the nation. The total quantity of can't miss...

TheSilasSunRising: I understand the toungue and cheek statements you made, but the Hill does not determine if a coach stays or is fired! It boils down to the same thing in most all matters, $$$$$. If the fans get upset enough and stop going to the games and the big money boosters withdraw their...

Cuse-Jacket & ATl1: I agree that senior laden teams are often better than those with too many freshmen on the team, however, my assumption was from watching the coach on the sidelines and how he manipulated the play of his team. I was very impressed with his demeanor and calmness during the...

This appears t0 he a year when truly most all positions are open. The first and most important is the quarterback position. I understand that most think Thomas will be the pick, but I think he has some good competition. Unless one of the QBs steps up and takes solid control in the Spring, this...

I believe Virginia is going to be a force in the ACC for awhile. I like the demeanor and coaching of their present coach. I observed him carefully during the tournement games. He is calm and does not seem to lose his focus on the game. He appears to be analyzing the team as it plays the game...

If we have another 7-6 type year, lose to UGA, and the bowl game, CPJ is gone, you can place your bets on it. However, if he has an excellent year, it will buy him more time to see if the trend is upward or if this season was an anomaly.

To all: Any second string sub is ALWAYS better than a tired regular period. It does not make any difference to me what you thing about it, that is the truth. If you don't believe it, ask a medical expert that knows the body and its functions. Also, to the remark about playing the video games, I...

Pelton has just told us that Tech's defensive line will not be any better this year. In my opinion, he made a damning statement of his MOP regarding coaching. He stated that he was looking for a star. He also stated that the competing defenders for a starting position have very little...
