  1. Recruiting rankings apples and oranges

    It is not "good enough" nor is it acceptable if your goal is to compete with the likes of Miami, UGA, and Clemson. This will not do. I understand many will complain about my own personal thoughts but recruiting is the life blood of a college football program and we are not getting it done...
  2. Let's use a Star rating system to evaluate the new coaching hires.

    I have no idea. Let them coach and in a few years we will see. Got to get difference makers on both sides of the ball for coaching to make a real impact. Get recruiting fixed to where we are pulling in top 25 classes instead of top 50 and go from there. IMHO Anyway according to Coach Johnson...
  3. Here Are The ACC Predictions In 2018 According To Athlon

    Yep. It specifically forecasts that we will rain on somebody''s parade this year like we usually do. Clemson 2011, Miami 2014, Virginia Tech 2016, FSU 2015. It's what we do.

    The key words from Ice: GOT TO IMPROVE
  5. Missed assignments

    I don't know Ice. Roquan (spelling) and that other dude for UGA did not have to resort to any trickery pre snap or otherwise. They shed blocks and made plays against us like they were from the U. Not much can be done about that.
  6. Missed assignments

    It is true that the offensive line blocking was really not that good according to Coach Johnson but what he did not comment on was perimeter blocking that year which was outstanding. This is an area that must improve for this year's team to show progress. It was not very good last year. In...
  7. Locker Room Renovation Underway

    You want to start real trouble? Go on Clemson's web site and start a thread advocating more purple uniforms for games. Boy howdy, that would be like kicking a south Georgia fire ant mound over.
  8. Tale of the Tape: Breakdown of Techs Center’s heading into 2018

    Yes this group will be the best. Now let's get those tackles up to speed. They are almost there. A truly great offensive line will go a long way to making life easier for Quon, Benson, and the guys in the backfield for sure.
  9. Tale of the Tape: Breakdown of Techs Center’s heading into 2018

    Fletch: Thank you for your compilation of information on our players. Everyone knows about the starters but the backups tend to be overlooked. I appreciate them as much as the starters. Hopefully, many of them will get a chance to play in blowouts this year. My takeaway is that, as usual at...
  10. Overall thoughts??

    We WILL..win 6 games and make a bowl! How is that for optimism? The new defense will not be the cure all that some seem to believe. Woody said it usually takes, I think, 18 months to get it where he wants it to be with personnel and technique. I am still of the belief we are lacking in the...

    I read an "unauthorized" biography about Bobby. He was a "riddle wrapped in an enigma" to paraphrase Churchill. A walking contradiction. Obsessed with making players go to class and complete their degrees and yet could be abusive and use the most vile language with them. He had the most...

    You don't say. Surely Purdue fans would welcome a saint like Bobby Knight into their place with open arms. I mean, after all, Bobby Knight was the paragon of virtue, kindliness, all around good fellow that always could be depended upon to display the most courtly of manners, deportment, and...

    Yep. That is exactly what my late father said many times. It was, even then in the 1950s a math requirement that had little to do with what many Tech graduates would end up doing in their careers. My dad was a Textile Engineering graduate and never needed to use calculus but used chemistry...
