gtdrew: I bet I have heard about the Calculus scare of possible Tech recruits before you were a gleam in your father's eye. It was used against Dodd when he first took over as head coach at Tech. I think I have made it extremely clear that I did not think Calculus should be a prerequisite for...

Wow!! One tipped pass and you out at UGA!!!

I had rather have Custis, he wanted to come to Tech. Chubb wanted to go to UGA.

dressedcheese: Yes, you are correct, I do not like it even though it is legal.

Boomergump: Maybe, I did not make myself clear enough. I certainly was not implying that we should use backs or wide receivers that run a 5.5. I was merely stressing the difference in time between 4.5 and 5.5 as only being one second, and then I asked the readers to count off one second to...

dressedcheesesid: There is a good point in your reply. I have seen many of the posters lambast Tech and the "Hill" for its focus on education. While it is reasonalble that Calculus does not need to be a prerequisite to all degrees, we surely don't want to blame recruiting on education at Tech...

Thanks Eric! I aplogize to you poodleface. Gee, that sounds funny!

dressedcheese: I think we fans are guilty of overhyping some of these athletes. We want to win so badly that we follow the recruiting and then get our hopes up that all the new recruits are going to be studs. Yes, Custis did well in High School, and may do well at Tech, but all we can do is wait...

dressedcheese: Personally, I think it looks stupid and makes the team look stupid. I see quite a lot of teams get a false start after the pause in play. It may be doing the team more harm than good. If the coach is going to call the plays, then I had rather use Johnson's method and then give the...

poodleface: It does not have to be related to GT Football. Did you not notice that you were looking at another category? It is Pro and other Colleges. This is the correct catergory for this poster's topic. Since it is news and all over the sports pages, then it is relevant news on this sports...

dtm1997: I don't hate Duke, but I do like it when we can beat them. One of the funniest things I have remembered about our fans, is calling Coach K "Rat Face". Again, I like Coach K and realize he is a great coach. My wife hates sports, and one day I was watching a Duke game on TV. She came into...

Essobee: Yes, I bet that was scary. I well remember that quake from the news media. It did quite a bit of damage. I will take the one I was in; it was scary enough for me at the time. I was really amazed at how quick it started and how quick it was over with.

Yoda: Yes, I used a whole second to stress the point. Count off a second if you will. The 4.50 and 5.50 are timed elements in a straight ahead dash and has nothing to do with quickness. Quickness is associated with mental and physical speed in decisions of movement. A cat is very quick; by its...

The one worst ploy I hate the most in today's offenses is the initial line-up of the offense, and then the stopping of the play and resultant looking to the sidelines for an okay or change in plays. I fully understand the coaches want to see how the defense lines up, but the defense can always...

The coaches who are calling for the rule change because of injuries are not fooling anyone. It is a smoke screen by them to slow down the coaches using the new offense. You win games with good defense. It is easy to stop an offense with a good defense, and it carries no excuses. You stop them...

The most famous chant at Auburn (when playing Alabama) is "Punt, Bama, Punt"! This year, the chant will be changed to "Punt, Bama, Punt, you have 10 seconds"!

There is not much difference between 4.54 and 4.48. In fact, there is little difference in 4.40 and 5.50. Personally, my view of straight ahead speed is not nearly as important as quickness of movement and decision making.

I was in a motel (business trip) in San Francisco quite a few years ago, when a tremor hit. The floor was moving around like I was standing on a water bed. I looked out the window and the water was splashing against the sides of the pool. I looked up the street and saw several people walking...

Whiskey_Clear: I also doubt the saftey angle on this rule.

Basically, I like the rules that are good common sense rules, but take away the ability of the referee to influence the outcome of a game. I know this is not a basketball topic, but it symbolizes any sports where rules give refs too much leeway in a game. Instead of allowing 5 seconds for...
