    CFB Rules Changes

    Most often, but not always. It's like plays called at the line of scrimmage in that regard.

    CFB Rules Changes

    Helmet radio communications have the potential for being overheard; even cell phone technology does not protect 100% against sophisticated interception.

    How long you keep last year's games?

    I have the UGA game on DVD. I'll keep it until I die and maybe even then some. :)

    Francis Kallon

    Being a student at GA Tech for a few years should have changed all that by now. It made me mean as hell. :punch: Took me ten years to settle back down. :shame: TIC

    Offensive Styles

    With today's rules giving blocking advantages to the offense and receiving advantage to the receiver, the gun reminds me of my early youth when we would play touch ball with no rushing of the QB allowed. It simply amounted to one or more receivers running around until one got open and then a...

    5 Teams that Will Benefit from the Bowl Hype in 2015

    Yeah Mack, it's early. I remember too well the year immediately following the 1990 championship team. Sometimes things just don't fall into place as well for whatever reasons. But they sure came together very well in 2014...schedule, coaching, senior leadership, team camaraderie, injury...

    Senior Appreciation Isaiah Johnson #1, RS SR, Became a Jacket on 6/13/09

    ..."just like on the jersey he wore, he is now ranked # One in career tackles by a defensive back with 275." Wow. Looks like IJ is another senior we will greatly miss. Thanks for the info, BW, and thanks for being a key part of this wonderful team, IJ.

    5 Teams that Will Benefit from the Bowl Hype in 2015

    JT's ability gives us lots of optimism. Plus we should have complete confidence in our coaching staff and trainers. The cupboard doesn't look quite as bleak as it did going into last season. Nevertheless, we lose some great seniors like Perkins, Laskey, Days, Mason, Smelter, Hill, Waller, Nealy...

    Post Season Musings

    I could not agree more! And as great as 1990 was, it continued a string of wins that occurred the previous year and featured a great recruiting class. This year's great team came out of nowhere, showed unprecedented grit and determination, and ranks as my number one all time favorite.

    Refereeing This Past Year

    I recently watched some of the YouTube old film of a few "great" Tech games (50s, 60s) and was surprised by two things: (1) lots of very poor tackling, and (2) a great many missed calls by the refs. Hope that may add a little perspective.

    ACC Bowl Thread

    Right you are, Jeff. For the ACC champs to take a huge licking like that...it's embarrassing for us all. All the more reason the conference should at least appreciate GA Tech for the licking it laid on MSU and Clemson for it's manhandling of OU.
