It would be interesting to know what percentage of Tech athletes become ineligible due to not being able to keep their grades up vs other colleges. While Tech's classes are often more rigorous, I think the average enrollee is also more disciplined but I have no idea where different colleges rank...

Guess I had a different concern than most in that my initial concern was that there might be an interference call based on the contact with the receiver. Not that there should have been one, but I was worried it might happen and I was listening closely, while jumping around, to hear if a penalty...

Who wouldn't have wanted to have had Synjyn on their team? He had a powerful positive stabilizing impact during the toughest moments during the season. Great player, great attitude, great fun and always full of "Synjynergy"! From the "We're going to Charlotte" to the Orange Bowl win, his...

I see your point that Miami and Virginia Tech are not rivals in the same sense as Uga, but they have been the biggest rivals for winning our division. At least over the past few years, they have primarily been the ones we compete with for the championship. Therefore, for example, a win...

Depends on how far you go back. Candidly I don't know who or when the term "big four" originated but prior to this year we had lost 3 out of four to them. Candidly, I was just making a joke and I thought the :) would have made that clear.

Candidly, I think if CPJ had written AE 87's opening post, that he would have probably have sounded more critical. While few evaluations are totally objective since they are perspectival, AE 87 didn't criticize specific individuals, IMHO didn't use inflammatory terms and recognized the...

Glad to hear he is staying. Personally I really don't think a change right now was his wisest career move anyway. Regardless of his efforts last year, I doubt many attribute much of the success of last years team to his efforts with the d-line. Tech should be better on d-line going forward and...

So you would prefer to refer to them as "the four that usually kick our butt"? :)

Tech should sell something like that. If there was a dvd set of edited versions of the games with Tech announcers, I would buy it (at least this years :))

These are great points. There may be a positive that I haven't seen mentioned before regarding the apparent upgrade in speed we may getting at a-back with the freshman and that is a better pitch relationship. I may be wrong, but it seemed to me that JT was getting to the edge a little ahead of...

Andrews did make numerous excellent blocks in the OB. He and Snoddy would make for a strong 1st string. I think we will be talented enough at a-back and b-back next year, but will have little depth from an experience standpoint and that can mean more mistakes and turnovers. Just a couple more...

Great article. Have to admit that I didn't particularly like him at quarterback. Nothing against him personally, I was just a kid and it seemed that the offense became too pass focused during that period and I enjoyed the running game more.

CPJ knows already if he thinks Leggett will be a good this year. He also will be getting a look at the QW soon as well, followed by the others this summer. It makes no sense to me that he would change TB's position unless he sees a weakness at b-back so large (or believes Jordan is already on a...

If there is an exception for forward passes that are completed behind the line of scrimmage, I wouldn't see much of a problem. However if for example Burden is attacking a linebacker a few yards downfield and JT pitches forward (a pass) to an a-back who is still behind the line of scrimmage, we...

Never been so excited to see what so many new guys can do but to be a contrarian, Kallon is the one I want to see stand out. If JHD comes back and Kallon has reached the level of "better than average", then our DL weakness may be a thing of the past. Personally I just don't think we will be as...

If JT goes out, I want Byerly coming in. He is the main back-up at out most important position, and therefore he is to me, the most important second team player we have. To put him anywhere else is risky. I do hope that he plays a lot more this year at QB and I think this will happen. If our...

And when they did occur, it was often in an area of depth such as b-back and a-back. If for example instead of Zenon, Snoddy and Lasky it had been Gotsis, Gamble and Freeman that were each out for a few weeks, we would have been much more likely to have lost some close games.

The most important may have been the last touchdown against southern. I really don't think any other qb that we have had under CPJ gets away from the linebacker and without that, we could have ultimately lost. He escaped pressure so many times, with ease, on major plays, buying enough time to...

Excellent point. While depth is certainly not the only factor, it is a large one since at this level every opportunity to exploit the other team is considered. It seemed to me that our major injuries this year tended to be in places of depth (such as a-back) where we could best handle it, Had...
