Since, I have not attended GT, I know nothing of their course requirements and their MOP. Since all the discussion has evolved about the strenious demands on the athlete during football season, is it possible for the football players to have less of a load during the football season, but make up...

This would never happen, but a coache's pay should be per year based on his record for that year. Give him 100% of his pay if he wins the National Championship, 90% if he wins all but one game, 80% if he wins a large proportion of his games, progressively lower, until he only gets about 20% if...

GT Man: At times, someone will ask me, "Don't you wish you were young again"? I respond, "No, I don't want to ever be that dumb again"!

ATL1: I predict Vad Lee to have a good year at his new school and new system.

Boomergump: I don't disagree with most of your synopsis, but it does bring out the fact of quickness plus straight ahead speed. Those with quickness and speed will normally be downfield before you realize it. I do most of my analyzing by watching the players year in and year out. I have seen...

GTG936G: True, the Union was useless to the good workers we had at xxxxx company. They were only needed for those who did not want to work. I never saw a good worker at our company who needed the Union. This is one example that came to my mind immediately.

SOME MORE HISTORY WHILE RESEARCHING FULCHER Carson recruited Eddie McAshan to play quarterback in 1970.[19] After several Summer practices, McAshan won the starting quarterback job and became the first African American quarterback to start for a major Southeastern university.[19] This decision...

Bill Fulcher supplanted Bud Carson. Fulcher appeared to be the right choice but quit after two seasons, overwhelmed by the Tech fan base. Fulcher's tenure included a terrible feud with Eddie McAshan, which peaked before the 1972 UGA game. McAshan had requested additional tickets for the game so...

Is Tech better overall this year than last year in material? It remains to be seen. From my view, there are two items which will be the key to this year. One is on offense and one is on defense. Personally, I think the material is just as good this year, possibly slightly better. The offense...

dabuzz: Yes, I realize that and the kids also up their time for bragging rights. It seems to me that the coaches would clock every player when they get to college, and even some of them in the various camps.

Actually, it seems reasonable to me that some players from High School might have a faster time than some in the pros. I touched on this briefly in some replies about becoming more muscular. Yes, it is true that some of the olympic speedsters are muscular, however, this is their forte, and they...

All: Thanks for the additional information on both Fulcher and Spurrier. I missed many parts of these episodes. There are generally many rumors about these things, but somewhere in all of them there is probably some truth. It is called filling in the blanks similar to working crossword puzzles.

jayparr: Wow, I would like to know the whole story on why he gave up the Tech job and then later decided to coach in High School! That would be an interesting read.

TheSilasSonRising: I had heard that Spurrier wanted the Tech job, but was passed over! Boy, did we ever miss that one! I also heard he was miffed at Tech because they did not give him a chance at the job.

thwgjacket: If we cannot win, then let's shut down football. If Tech does not win, it cannot pull in the fans because it is not a State factory school. The fans will only come when the team wins consistently. It is almost impossible for Tech to fill their stadium with alumni, it has to pull in...

First, I would think some posters should be wary of their comparisons, due to comparing Paul Johnson with some of our very inept coaches of the past. Bud Carson had a total career record of 27-27 and only coached at Tech as a Head Coach. By the way, he also accumulated some baggage which may...

For all those who think Tech cannot win big, you are fooling yourselves. Get the right coach that can use the material to his best advantage, and we will once again have consistant winning. There are excellent athletes with the credentials to get into Georgia Tech. We offer them every year, but...

GTRX7: The statement of black players is a moot point and not important in the issue. Even though most of the games were white against white, the playing field was equal on that point, so it still reverted to the best coaches winning the games according to history. If you research all teams by...

squints: My point on the article was to stress the other side of the coin, and that was that the writer was trying to say that Paul Johnson's record was fine and in line with Tech traditon, which it is not. However, I will rephrase my stance on the whole subject. Paul Johnson has not fared well...

AE 87: Yes, we have had some bad coaches over the past 25 years, that is obvious, but Tech and winning goes back much further than that. I want the kind of winning we had with the first three coaches. It is also obvious, the article left off the records of the first three coaches. Personally, I...
