Tennessee "talent falling off" ? What is the world coming to? I always thought that Tennessee was a program with problems every now and then like any other factory but talent would never be one of them.

Yes, it was one really dumb play that was the catalyst but I could not remember what or against whom. What would General Neyland have said about not punting and losing field position?

True, but top 25 is a horse of a different color compared to top 10. The offensive genius of Coach Johnson is never in dispute. The recruiting, special teams, and defense are always "in dispute" so to speak.

Yep. He was one of Bear's Boys but ended up getting run out of Knoxville. His claim to fame was to wake up one morning with a moving van parked in his driveway.

That's him. Kind of tall for a fullback looked more like a tight end but a fine player. I saw him play against Georgia and he ended up scoring a touchdown on the ground and catching a touchdown from Holloway and basically beating UGA by himself.

I remember watching Eddie play and being impressed with how beautiful his passes were and very accurate. He put the ball where only his man could get it most of the time. It would almost seem to float out there to Jimmy Robinson who would go down and get it. He was bad about throwing...

Did the computer by chance watch the offense the last half of the season? Didn't think so. There is no way that Georgia Tech should be in the top 10 in offense or top 25 overall. Like any fan I am hopeful but then so are fans of Vanderbilt, Tulane, Iowa State etc. If our guys work hard in...

The Falcons first few years were pretty sad. Tommy Nobis and Claude Humphrey would play like mad men making tackles all over the place but to no avail.

Thank you for your kind offer but she is long gone and now lives in Decatur working with some kind of company in Tucker. We went to a Tech game last year. She loves the Jackets just not as much as her father and grandfather.

My daughter went to graduate school at South Carolina and loved Columbia but she could hear Williams Brice Stadium from across town and the traffic was a huge mess on game days which was often when she had to work at the university library (she got a master's in library science). But the food...

You know what I find impressive? South Carolina has been the very essence of mediocrity in college football for as long as I can remember. They have been winning 5 or 6 games a year going back to when they were first in the ACC. Yet, like clockwork that Williams Brice Stadium is sold out and...

Yes, when I see that guy with the red hat come on the field I have to resist an urge to commit an act of terror .

Given the recruiting restrictions and the constant drama with defensive coordinators it is remarkable we have done as well as we have post Chan. I have no statistics or anything to back this up but my impression is that GT is a football school. Football is the straw that stirs the drink for...

He does at times doesn't he? But I am impressed with the clever stuff he does with the spread option. His offense is interesting to watch unlike 90% of the spread teams that are pretty much the same.

There is no "feeling" to it. He is as well as the rest of the Hill.

It depends. If you mean rated as a five star recruit coming out of high school we have not had even one that I can recall. If you mean, one of those go back a year and reevaluate deals that some magazines do well, that is a horse of a different color. Let's see just off the top of my head and...

I would if I could. This problem has bedeviled coaches from Dodd's time until today. Unless changes are made in making our curriculum less restrictive it will remain unsolvable. Devoting more resources to recruiting is a good start but every coach has complained about the lack of support...

This is true but they were bringing in pretty good talent long before he got there. Dabo has done a great job and turned Clemson into a powerhouse. Years ago all the experts thought that FSU and Miami would instantly take over the ACC. They still might do that but Clemson is a force to be...

I do not think that recruiting rankings are a "joke" but the fact is that our recruiting efforts have not gotten the job done. We are smack dab in the middle of the most fertile recruiting area of the country and here we are year after year with rankings in the middle tier while our rivals are...

So far, it has not been a "lack of experience" so much as a lack of talent. I apologize for being so blunt but when receivers cannot beat man to man coverage it is telling.
