    Football Mill feelings?

    Totally agree that, despite a good current trajectory, that we have miles to go; and despite better recruiting, I will never take any game as a guaranteed win. What seems to be changing in me is my perennial "underdog" view that embodies a "they may have more top level players, but our team may...

    Football Mill feelings?

    With some of the perennial powerhouse teams, it seems that every year is simply a reloading of great athletes. I always wondered what it must be like to rest in the knowledge that the 4-5 star running back that just graduated will be replaced a new recruit that many think may become even better...

    Real Jabari news thread

    It is probably true that Shaq's assessment doesn't absolutely confirm that he is better than all the d lineman Tech faced last year, however I would certainly think that Shaq would know if he was the best on our team. If he was better than Gotsis at his new d-line position, that alone would make...

    OL Speculation 2015

    Regarding Preddy, I watched him in high school and he seemed have lots of ability but poor technique. I thought that he would eventually wind up playing defense but I have no idea how he's progressed at Tech.

    Senior Appreciation Deon Hill #31, RS SR, Became a Jacket on 1/24/10

    Life is all about choices and many of those choices are chosen simply because they are easier. It is always impressive to see someone make the greater good more important than themselves. The easy way out was for Deon to use his legitimate health problems to leave the team. The hard road was to...

    12 foundation pillars

    Very good. This is simply good management. I always want people who have different strengths on my "team". As it has been said about marriage, "if both of you are the same, one of you isn't needed!", in a great team, people know their role and excel in it. I just hope someone learns how to call...

    Shaq turning heads at Senior Bowl

    I couldn't be less shocked to hear he is doing well. He always seemed to have perfect leverage and his power and effort was unquestionable. He certainly can play at the next level.

    2015 returning QBs

    Their statement "Georgia Tech: Loses pretty much everyone who touched the ball besides the quarterback" as justifying a not top 25 rating shows a deep understanding of our team...not!

    How do we get better at 3rd and long?

    Have to admit that typically when we have third and long I don't think "we must make it or have to punt" I typically think "I hope we get at least most of it so we don't have to punt" First and 15 didn't bother me as much this year either whereas last year a five yard penalty had me worried.

    ESPN: Too-early Atlantic and Coastal Division winners

    As always injuries will be key. We had them this year exactly where we could afford them eg a and b backs and not on d line where we were thin. B back depth worries me this year

    USA Today early top 25

    I am shocked than any of you are taking this poll seriously. Obviously a hacker got in and entered this info. My proof is that based on this ranking, Tech should be the top ranked team in the Coastal :)

    Oregon and Time to Prepare

    There is no doubt that had we been in the game and OSU provided us with 4 turnovers that we would have done much better than Oregon and almost certainly would not be celebrating their championship.

    Offensive Styles

    I think our offense saved our butt this year by reducing the time the defense was on the field. For example if we has 5 minutes less time of possession each game, over 12 games our defense would have needed to be on the field for an additional 60 minutes, roughly equivalent to playing 2 more...

    What station is Metal of Honor bowl on

    Big Grin on the sideline as usual. Also the typical "will the success running in the triple option translate to the NFL". Why do we continue to screw up all these college students by running the triple option? Don't we know that they will now never be able to learn a pro system ;) So sick of...

    Redshirts from 2014 - Biggest Impact in 2015?

    If Quaide is seen as possibly better than Leggett, who has received positive reviews, that is indeed good news. I still think the lack of experience will cause some drop off from this year, but hopefully I will be eating those words next season.

    Clemson, Georgia Tech will push FSU in 2015 ACC race

    Yep, the schedule will be tough and we can't afford to make mistakes and "stub our toes" at the likes of UNC/Duke again. or we could really struggle. Talent and hope don't make for certain wins. e.g. Oklahoma was #3 in the preseason 2014 coaches poll after kicking the tides butt in their bowl...

    Redshirts from 2014 - Biggest Impact in 2015?

    Agree, but that has its own cost as well. We could possibly move someone like M Allen over also, but my points are that based on current depth predictions, we are unproven, and untested, and that the b-back position seems more likely for a 2015 drop -off than others. Putting it another way...
