techman78: Yes, it is all a crap-shoot, but we can have our fun guessing.

I am not worried that we don't have the athletes. I believe we have good athletes on the team and good speed. I am more worried about the ability of our coaches to adapt to the situations or teams we meet and that the team be in harmony with each other and the coaches. The QB position should...

This Category can be changed from "College and Pro Sports" To Pro Sports" if the NCAA decides the Colleges can pay the players in the future. I quit watching all pro sports about 30 years ago because of the greed as opposed to the sportsmanship. I have not even watched a Super Bowl, World...

Florida: My guess is that Florida will not survive with Muschamp, unless there is a huge change in his attitude with his players. I beleive they did not play for him as a team last year. If the same happens this year, he will be gone after next year.

If our DBs play off the ball to loose, the D line will not have time to get to the QB on 3rd and long, that is part of the problem. If the DBs play the receivers tighter, the QB cannot find his receivers open quickly, and the pressure has a better chance of making a sack.

kg01: Your statement backs my view of why Snoddy should be on the field for kickoffs. Kickoffs are basically straight ahead runners with their speed. They can get to an open space much quicker than someone running slower behind a mass of blockers in their way. That is the reason I gave for the...

I am not discussing any issues with the debates regarding present reasons for not selecting GT. I am really trying to see the reasons board members would select as their 1 through 5 top reasons for attending any college. 4shotB, thanks for your reply. My real reason was for football first and...

Eric: Yes, but does the system he is forced to use on returning kickoffs have an effect on his returns? I say many times a fast returner is forced into a system by a coach of kickoff returns, and his speed becomes neutralized. Many times the speedster has to slow to let the blockers set up the...

I am convinced there are plenty of very good athletes available to be educated at Georgia Tech and play football here. I am sure we offer many of these qaulified athletes scholarships every year, but of course, we are being turned down by many. Question: You are qualified as a recruit to play...

On Snoddy: It is a waste of talent to neglect to make Snoddy the kickoff return man. Also, the next fastest man on the team should be back there with him. No, he will not succeed if he is made to follow the blockers in a coach developed scheme. His speed is the one most important ingredient for...

I already know that many are not going to like my assessment of the downturn game of the year, but it has never bothered me when someone disagrees with me, and it never will. However, this is my view and I stick to it. The season changer was the Virginia Tech game. I think that was the game...

33jacket: I concede that you are most likely right, I am just surprised that the rules makers gave that reason for the change. However, it does all make sense. I do know that most everything, when analyzed comes down to $$$$. I am sure that is why "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil"...

I am sure that is not the reason given for the change. What was the official reason cited for changing from blocking with the pads and forearm in lieu of using the outstretched arms and hands? It appears to me the ease of a method for the refs to call holding whenever they need to reminds me of...

ATL1: Thanks, there are multitudes of other data on the same subject, but I stopped with these as they seem sufficient to get the point across.

I have been puzzled about the blocking tecniques of today and many, many years ago. Back in our day, you could not use your hands, you used your forearm for blocking, and sometimes grabbed your own jersey at the chest to insure you had the right forearm approach to blocking. Somewhere along the...

I am not suggesting this, but I feel comfortable that the following process often takes place. Many times a student in High School likes certain subjects and does well on them. Other subjects, he does not like and fails them. The problem may not be his learning ability, but his interest. It...

vamosjacket & dressedcheese: Yes, you have coaches that lie to their recruits, but you have athletes that will promise to attend a given school and change their mind at the last minute, causing a school to miss out on another recruit. However, over the long run, it is the athlete getting all the...

The old-timers will probably remember this: This is really not a knock on Vad Lee, it just reminded me of another quarterback at Tech in the past. Vad Lee was fast enough to take the ball and run, but was not quick enough to elude tacklers. Tech had a quarterback name Eddie McShan, quite a few...

AE 87: Take off your dark shades. The sun is shining and I can see clearly, and I have old eyes. Oh! That's right, you don't actually have to see it, some of the athletes on the team have already verified this.
