Nine wins at UGA is a reasonable goal in most seasons, regardless of the coach. What a lot of UGA people who wanted to see Coach Richt go probably didn't realize was that the "losing" ways started when McGarity came on board as their AD. Not just football, but many other sports from baseball...

The final game played in Grant Field's old horseshoe configuration, against UGA. In 1984, Tech hadn't won over UGA in 7 straight seasons but finally got a big blowout victory over the Dawgs in Athens -- perhaps one of the biggest wins in Tech program history and the game that started the...

Don't know if Tech's stadium is the oldest, but Grant Field is the oldest continually used playing field among "Div I" college teams. If I'm correct (going completely from memory here), the stadium arrived a few years after the field was dedicated. The original grandstands were built by...

Got it... Thx. "Football is one of our great American games. It is the duty and responsibility of each of us to see that it is kept in its proper perspective, and that it is protected. We should see that it is used to attain the objectives that mean so much to our way of life. We feel that...

Even though Coach Richt is an alum, I don't know if Miami is the place for him in this day and age. They were all glitz back in the day with Coach Jimmy Johnson, but in the intervening years a thuggish culture has developed around the program, as evidenced by the recent problems Al Golden was...

Per the Mark Richt firing, I was thinking about a quote Bobby Dodd made about student athletes, winning and losing, and fans being upset when their team loses (in a nutshell, he basically said to chill out). One of the posters here had it in their signature for awhile. Can't find it out on the...

Miami would be a bad place... Al Golden turned the program around off the field, but couldn't turn the corner on the field. The pressure to win at Miami is even greater than at UGA, and they've had a string of championships and near misses since UGA's last one, even though they've been...

Was thinking the same thing. Skov didn't get a lot of experience running the ball at Stanford... He's a huge back, though. Looked really big from the sidelines, maybe bigger than either Laskey or Days. Could be a real quality RB, a huge breakout star with the right coaching...

Four or five times during the game, maybe more... The LB would shoot into the gap, back up a step or two, then shoot the gap again, probably trying to time his moves with the snap. I kept thinking, who's going to pick up this guy and keep him from getting in the backfield?

Was at the game in Durham, about fifteen rows behind the Tech sideline. The defense really did well after the 1st quarter was over. But generally speaking, the players looked listless for almost the entire game. No energy at all on the sidelines, except for a short bit in the 2nd half when it...

Saw the Vad Lee ESPN video yesterday on Youtube... Looks like he's a great fit at JMU. A number of months ago I was wondering, what would have happened if Reggie Ball had played under Paul Johnson? Or what if Vad Lee had been old enough to play for Chan Gailey? Vad very well could have...

A lot of UGA fans were not very happy about Greyson Lambert... Lost his starting job at Virginia, one of the lesser teams in the ACC. Now he was supposed to be the answer to their QB woes. But he seems to be thriving in the UGA offense. Strange how that happens. Hope he doesn't get too good...

Enjoyed Pepper a lot when I was younger, almost idolized him. Was the Jackets' coach during my grammar school years (2nd - 7th grade) and I'd hoped I'd get to play for him at Tech one day when I was older. Was devastated when he was fired, but looking back on it years later, the coaching...

Help take some of the pressure off him and pull for him and the team! Maybe send him an encouragement letter...

^ +1000 What would be the best of outcomes, given the circumstances? That would be if Gregory can finally turn it around and put together a good season. I hope no one here wants to see him fail... If they start winning, the attendance should bounce back, and that would take care of some...

It's the Arabic letter 'Nun', which is their letter 'N". The word for 'Christian' in Arabic is "Nasarin" (Nazarene), so that's what the Nun stands for...

Pepper was still coaching in '79. He's the one who hired Spurrier... When Curry was hired in '80, I think he cleaned house and got new coaches in. I think Spurrier might have left early so he wouldn't get replaced, at least that's what I heard. That year Pepper has both Spurrier (QB coach)...

Didn't say we shouldn't try to be good, just not as passionate as some about replacing him this year versus next if he doesn't improve. That's all. If my quote were dismissible, you wouldn't have responded to it, but simply dismissed it.

I don't know the intricate ins-and-outs of how college hoops works, not nearly as much as football, I'll admit. If this were the football program, I'd probably be more inclined to want him replaced. Biased a little in that area. Because Tech is historically more of a football school than a...

It will be even less of a factor next year than this year. Don't know how it is with basketball, but in football, it's the assistants and behind-the-scenes folks who have a great individual impact on recruiting. So it's probably not all on Coach Gregory there. The immediate benefit of hiring...
