Alas, running backs are the least of our worries. Except that I would like for the A backs to block better and for Marshall to get them the ball in space. I don't care how he does it but when our A backs can get the ball either receiving or running good things usually happen. For one, the...

\ Poor Bud. He was a good defensive coach but too stubborn for his own good. He should have known better than to try to follow a legend. Same thing happened to Ray Perkins when he followed the Bear. Did it matter that he was a near legend as an All American wide receiver at the Capstone...

Yep good old Williams Brice Stadium. How does the refrain go? "If it ain't swaying, we ain't playing" I dismissed that statement as pure hyperbole and one night they were playing Nebraska and took the lead in the middle of the third quarter and dang if the television did't show the student...

Vamos that is a really cool story. You thought you were meant to be a football coach but the "MAN UPSTAIRS" had a different plan. Good show bro.

Yes, like Jemea Thomas used to do so well.

The reference to Peters Park reminds me of a Tech / Clemson game my dad took me to in the early 1960s in which the game was a rather boring one as I dimly recall with Tech winning pretty easily but the real excitement was a post game brawl between members of the respective schools' bands that...

Indeed. Why isn't this man president of the Institute? He would have our football program on a level approaching Clemson and UGA in no time worth mentioning.

Oh yes, I am on board on all those ideas. Pencil neck geeks worried about the value of their degrees be damned. TIC Don't get excited.

Don't know but when Coach Dodd became the head coach in the mid 1940s one of the first things he did was change the color scheme from a "mustard gold" (his words) to a blue and gold look. He claimed that the new uniforms were worth a touchdown. Don't know about that but I do know that Coach...

"Don't get mad (or in your case depressed) get even". Maximize what we offer, identify young men early on that will respond to our unique blend of challenges and opportunities and recruit the living hell out of them 24-7. We need more resources devoted solely to recruiting to be able to do...

Still need a lot of things with play makers on the outside near the top of the wish list. In fact the only position groups that I am pretty confident in are offensive line, Bbacks, maybe linebackers to a lesser extent. Everything else is up for grabs. Improvement in strength and conditioning...

"New Look Defense" Hmm... seems I have heard that before in connection with the Coach Johnson era. Now let me think back. It's not like we have had a whole bunch of defensive coordinators with different methods and philosophies or is it? Strictly TIC

I don't know about the rest of the team but the only "dancing" was done by a defensive back after he stonewalled a back out of the backfield just as he caught a pass.

Funny, how that advice works out in real life. My father's advice was somewhat more colorful. To wit: "Son, keep your dip stick where it belongs and you will have way fewer problems down the road."

Last night, I was watching a full game replay of Tech vs. Vanderbilt from 2002. You will recall it was Chan's first year. What struck me was how crisp, for lack of a better word, the tackling was especially by linebackers and defensive backs. Vanderbilt was under a new coach as well named...

It is not so much academics (granted that is a large part of our recruiting woes) but there is the perceived indifference bordering on hostility on the part of Georgia Tech administration towards athletics in general and football in particular. During Coach Johnson's tenure we have an overall...

Time for a new "HILL" to go with it.

Thank you!

Sorry, I am too old to be hipster and up on the various acronyms. Pray tell, what is one's "WAG"?

True but they are the only traditional opponents left over from the past that would fire up the fan base and fill up Grant Field just like the good old days. To be sure, there is plenty of hate for both of them just not the "clean old fashioned" kind of hate.
