My evaluations have nothing to do with a desire for a player to stay or leave, that is there choice. I still think both Bostic and Zenon will do well according to the system they are in, but from all the names mentioned as possible transfers, I have not really seen anyone that appears to be a...

No, a person's character does not necessarily determine their bias for a team or a coach. I am sure there are some very good fans at Tech that do not necessarily think PJ is the coach we need (present records tend to back these views). I am also sure there are some very good fans who hold PJ in...

BigDaddyBuzz: It is a combination of the coach, the schedule, the matchups, etal. However, my view is that the buck stops with the coach. Regardless of the opposition, the coach is hired to win games and develop players. The coach is paid handsomely to win the games. If we don't care about...

AE 87: I have responded to your view earlier. My statement remains the same. Each person on this board has an opinion, and they do not have to back it up with data if they do not want to do so. It is their perogative to just give their opinion and leave it at that.

Jerry the Jacket: Surely, that was tongue-in-cheek!

dressedcheese: I agree that there are some personal attacks against a person because of their views, and it should not be. However, I think some are unduly defensive because someone disagrees with the philosophy they have posted. When I disagree with a person, it is the philosophy I am debating...

dressedcheese: Maybe, they are still investigating it, I hope so. I agree, the NCAA Infraction's Committee does a horrible job on enforcements. They tend to look the other way on the factories and try to prove their effectiveness by hamstringing the innocent. It reminds me of the socialistic...

ATl1: The athletes receive the best education, meals, housing, medical, etal, free of charge. They are getting more than there share for playing football or any other sport. Since, you mentioned minorities, there are also white guys playing and not receiving any additional monies. Also, there...

dressedcheese: You just quoted and article from 2009. Let's give the newer coach, Fisher, sometime to straighten out some of these problems. The situation in 2009 was not his problem, even though he was set to become the coach. Who knows, maybe he even tried to get some of them solved before he...

dressedcheese: That is why there should be some alternate plan for those who do not want the education, but just want to play sports. There could easily be minor leagues in football just as baseball. The kids who do not want an education could go to the minor leagues. They would also get paid...

Mack: I agree, there has to be some disagreements between the player and coach when a kid is thinking of transferring (other than girlfriends, grades, etal). Sometimes, a coach tells a kid one thing when he is wooing the recruit, but does not tell the kid the whole story. I can honestly see a...

There is a lot of debate regarding the effectiveness of nexty year's team with a different quarterback. If the coach and players are on the same page mentally with each other, then a round peg in a round hole will solve one of the problems on the team. If the harmony returns within the team and...

techman78: Yes, the penalties and other problems killed us. I have a different slant on all the penalties and lack of effectiveness at times during the season. I believe it was the VT game where we had 9+ false starts and offensive penalties. As I watched the game, it seemed obvious to me that...

I think both Bostic and Zenon will do very well where they go, if they go. Both have speed, and I can see both of them excelling in the right system. I also think both of them will become good kickoff returners at other schools.

Auburn and FSU have new coaches.

dressedcheesesid: Interesting article! If this is presently happening and Fisher is aware of this, then no, he does not deserve praise. I have heard many bad things about FSU in the past, but had not heard or seen anything like this lately. All of this type of action is repulsive to me, and...

There are those on the board who are mesmerized with PJ and think he is the best thing since sliced bread. There are those on the board who think he and his system are the problem with Tech football. There is the middle ground who likes part of PJ football and dislikes part of it. It is a...

If seems to me Jimbo Fisher is a pretty good person. In the past, the smoke indicated there were under-the-table awards for the recruits signing with FSU. I think at this particular time that Fisher is doing it right. If so, I hope Jimbo has continued success. This FSU team was very successful...

I am surprised, I did not see any great coaching at any position last year. I saw no area of our offense or defense that was outstanding.

Actually, Smelter's foray into football last season wa a huge surprise. When you give up a sport for a couple of years and then come back to it, there is generally a lagging time of getting back in the groove. He did some things very well last year, even giving us a solid receiver of punts. He...
