That Pepper was something else, that's for sure. What other coach would lead his team onto the field doing handstands like he did at Kansas? To his credit, he operated against some daunting headwinds especially the facilities which at the time were widely considered the worst in the country...

Spring training is about 90% about these two things. If someone "breaks out" during the spring they are likely as not to step back in the fall. We will see but I am definitely in the "I am from Missouri" Show Me camp. This team needs to improve in all three phases markedly to be competitive...

Given the headwinds from the Georgia Board of Reagents and other recruiting limitations, those four national championships along with the bowl wins is truly remarkable.

That's all right. It keeps me in practice for when my wife complains about the yard.

If you don't like the razor thin margin for error, the remedy is to score touchdowns and hit long plays with receivers like Bey Bey, Smelter, etc. What? we don't have any of those? Well, guess its back to razor thin margin for error and grinding it out on the ground to limit the other teams'...

I stand corrected, again, by the ubiquitous MikeJacket. Son, you have got to quit doing this to me. It's humiliating.

Dang it, you beat me to it.

This "narrative on Tevin" that you speak of. I happen to think he is underrated although the image of that "boomerang" throw against NC State that Ostrwin Smith miraculously hauled in along the sideline is still the quintessential Tevin throw. The blasted thing appeared to be going sideways...

That is a good point about Tech's defense averaging roughly 25 points a game which in this day and age of spread offenses and linemen being permitted to hold, extend their arms, and do everything but tackle an onrushing lineman or linebacker it really is not that shabby. Unfortunately, 25...

It was funny in the context of Tech sharing a national championship with a team that won only 9 games none of which were against a ranked opponent. Unfortunately, Duke has become a problem again with Coach Cutliffe. I really think Tennessee made a big mistake not hiring him when they had the...

You can laugh if you want to, but back then playing Duke was no walk in the park. Can't remember if Wallace Wade was still around but he was the only man that Bear Bryant was really in awe of. At a players reunion during the late 1950s from when the Bear was playing and Coach Wade was the...

True but it just wasn't the same. Maybe he had lost his mojo by then. It happens.

Well, they did have Sam Huff just not anything else.

I did not know they were ranked that high. I know Johnny Vaught just hated Georgia Tech because we would not play them because of money according to Dodd. Any team with Jimmy "King" Lear on it was bound to be pretty good.

I am not sure ANY defensive coordinator saw eye to eye with the Irish man. He got along great with Ralph but that is easy when you have JoeHam, Dez White, Jon Carman, Kelly Campbell and the boys.

Don't know about the film but beating Tech in 1995 would not be that big a deal for Navy. What would have been VERY INTERESTING would have been a match up of Tenuta's great defenses from Chan's early years against a Coach Johnson Navy team. It would have been a chess match for the ages like...

Six, count em, six All Americans on that team. Yes, I would say they were a legit national championship team. They beat a nationally ranked Duke team pretty convincingly and stomped a pretty decent Alabama team. Ole Miss was nationally ranked when we played them in the Sugar Bowl.

True Dat!

Gentlemen: There is a heretic in our midst. I have no doubt that something or someone was swaying on that long ago Labor Day. The question arises: was it the stadium in question or was it by chance good gentle GT 05 that was doing the um "swaying"?

"GT players want to win while here, more than anyone watching the games wants them to win" I have said it before but its worth repeating: Players play, coaches coach, and fans cheer, moan, complain about uniforms etc. As long as everyone stays in their lanes it is all good.
