    What players are you most excited to see in the Fall?

    A player that caught my attention at the spring game was Yondjouen. Not just because of the name, but he made a couple of plays. Hope some of the unheralded players really step up this season, and hope there is a sleeper that by the end of the season has us all talking. I am in Milton, and...

    The Lew Effect

    I expect that number to increase significantly in the coming years. With CGC using team competitions, I suspect each player wants to meet that weightlifting goal.

    The "Collins effect "........

    That got me fired up. Can't wait until the Empire Ste Building is lit up in "white" and gold.

    Waffle House Wednesday

    It is all a bunch of coachspeak. I do wonder if these guys practice the pitch they make. I suspect at coaches meetings they bullet point the message for the public. New coachspeak words: 1. Brand 2. Attack 3. Old school run and shoot 4. Innovative

    ACC Position Rankings

    Not going to argue the statistics, but this sort of underdog status has to be an incredible motivator for the coaches and players. Especially if the defense gets a couple of stops on a "first game" Clemson. And puts together a performance the rest of the game to build on. The team can use...

    Does anyone know if all of the former coaching staff got hired somewhere?

    Still hard to believe none of the previous staff landed in a P5 job. Wow.

    Chris Landry on 680

    Speaking of the spring game, I could be very wrong about this but... I thought CGC was yelling at the defense prior and during the play where the play was going. Not every play but occasionally it looked that way. Sorta like it bothered him the defense was not stopping the offense since his...

    2019 Offseason Thread

    I was surprised by the number of players in the portal. Guess I need to pay more attention to this and do some research on details on how students/players work this system. I can envision CGC working this hard during his tenure here.

    Another recruiting philosophy

    If these numbers are correct, and I assume they are, Tech must be at the lower six sigma of decommits. Nice to see these numbers. I think Johnson had a philosophy stronger with recruits than Dabo.

    New Youtube Video previewing Coach Collins and our 2019 season

    iceeater I get your point. You have been adamant about funding. There appears to be effort to get more funds from us "not so well off" alumni. And agree the program has been underfunded. I know my limit for support per year. I have yet to sign over my 401k to the institute, but they keep...

    Goodbye Honeycomb

    Surprised that CGC is going old school for now on uniforms.

    For those that don't like the Blue uni's...

    Off season threads are numerous to read. I am loving seeing all the ridiculous helmet options. Although I do expect Collins to come up with some unique uniforms this season.

    Offensive Transition at Nebraska (4-8) last year

    My first assumption is that CGC has shown he can coach up a defense from his experience at UF and Miss St. If this assumption is correct, I assume an improved defense from last year. My second assumption is that the coaching staff has several talented QBs and will select the best as the...

    New Youtube Video previewing Coach Collins and our 2019 season

    This guy gets CGCs premise. I learned one thing from this video. That you can offer recruits the advantages of the campus within a one mile radius. Did not know that. Compare Atlanta to somewhere like Starkville...

    Coaching Acumen of the Previous Staff...

    Interesting perspective, and one I never had a clue about. Thanks for putting this out.

    Coaching Acumen of the Previous Staff...

    I watched this game again. Sorry Augusta, this was one of CPJ's games he could have put away, but just did not. I agree that the punt game changed the outcome. The kick to the one that resulted in a safety and a free kick return. And the shanked punt that resulted in a fumble. However...

    GT picked last in Coastal by S & S

    Will agree with this quote. My alumni buddies will quip at times "It is hard being a Tech fan" during the hard times. Right now in the doldrums, I am really excited about the direction of the program. I believe we will find out early on how well the new staff can coach up the talent. The...

    Time to face facts

    Fact: I have a piece of the astroturf from grant field circa 1979 when it was replaced Fact: I have my ticket stub from the 1990 Citrus Bowl framed and hanging on the wall in my man cave. I also have the poster from the spring game hanging next to it. Fact: Coloradojacket you are the biggest...

    So who leaves? Attrition.

    Is there any information as to why Benson is leaving or is this all speculation?

    BMW co marketing

    I just traded in my F-150. Wish I could say it was to spike Kirby, but time to get rid of a 1997 vehicle. Got a 2019 RAM 1500. May not be the best in class for towing, but has an interior and features that far outclass all other pick-ups. And I can hose down the bed if anything bloody ends...
