    That was a horrible broadcast

    I am not complaining. When we are so far down the ladder playing the last team in the conference, we should be glad the game is televised at all.

    The Next realignment

    Which is a shame because I got so much out of playing football. Dedication, sportsmanship, leadership and the love of the game.

    The Next realignment

    This is just another chapter towards the demise of college football as we have enjoyed it. Too much money and greed. As a technology disrupter, streaming technology, I think, will affect distribution in ways we have not thought about yet.

    Duke Postgame

    Another "what if" scenario and Johnson mentioned it in his post game interview. What if Tech scores on the first drive in the third quarter to go up by 7? After another call by our esteemed ACC officials, Tech started out with a long way to go. A nice run gets the ball out and in reasonable...

    I liked what Johnson said about Friday night games. Friday is High School football night.

    Film Room Def. Breakdown vs. BG

    I have really enjoyed ibeeballin's comments on hip position. Once a defensive players turns his hips, he is committed. Especially as a defensive back. Once you give up your hip position, especially man on man, it is time to out athlete your opponent. Especially when you turn your back to...

    Athletic Director's Update

    Since this is the "Athletics Director's Update" thread I will post my opinion. Somewhere TStan has a list. He is working a succession plan for Johnson. During his tenure as AD he will replace Johnson. It will be his signature hire. Right or wrong, it will be his signature hire. Unless...

    Bowling Green Postgame

    In the post game interview, Johnson seemed pleased with the offense today. I was impressed with Marshall's accuracy today. Timing much better. It seem to me he throws "rainbows". Is that because of arm strength or intended? Whatever, he was on the money today. I was surprised in the...

    Do you remember when you became a Tech fan?

    Really great thread. For the old timers. I was a Pike and we had an old 1927 American LeFrance firetruck. We would haul folks from 10 Street to the stadium. After the game we had to find our back down the hill. After a game in flash cards, one could be bidirectionally challenged. Anyone...

    Athletic Director's Update

    Tstan is the Man. The right tone at a key time. He needs to keep the fanbase on board at a time we are all feeling like the wheels have come off the program. I get a sense of desperation trying to convince us things will get better and he is doing the right things to get back to where we...

    1st Half Def. Breakdown vs. Clemson

    Speaking of illegal or uncalled penalties. The holding on defensive players. Several stretched jersey on offensive linemen trying to release to the second level. Firstly, is this holding? I believe it is. But I have never seen it called at any level of football. Has there ever been a...

    Do you remember when you became a Tech fan?

    I grew up in Atlanta in the 70s and was agnostic between Tech and Georgia. After high school I tried to play college ball at another school. After a few injuries and getting dumped by a girlfriend, I came home to Tech to study Aerospace Engineering. After the first game in flash cards, I was...

    Clemson postgame

    So embarrassing. Firstly, Clemson fans likely equaled the Tech fans in the stadium. As has been discussed ad naseum on this board as to why fans don't show up. This is an excellent example. Why would sidewalk fans jump on board the Tech ship? Tech receives the opening kickoff and moves...

    Some good things at Pitt

    The kick itself was great. The big bounce.. I agree with ice, the problem with the onside kick was a defender basically tackling the gunner before he could get to the ball. Even the announcer made a comment. Go back and watch. Need to coach the kids not to allow the defender to grab. Slap...

    Juanyeh Thomas has a message for the fans!

    Kudos to Gundy for supporting his player. Thought he might be going after the reporter he kept pointing at...

    USF Postgame Discussion

    The blown 4th quarter leads from yesterday and last year are confounding. I'm with the rest of ya'll about having the ghost of the UT game last year haunting this team. It did feel eerily familiar. Is this a conditioning problem? Not only physical, but mental? The D did not put up much of a...

    The most disappointing stat from yesterday was...attendance.

    We have a block of 8 seats in the east upper deck. Of the 8, only two of us attended. Why? My wife begged off because she has sat through enough of the noon kickoff games and is fed up with the heat. My other two tickets were at a bachelor weekend in Savannah. I could not find anyone that...

    Marshall looks worse...

    I agree with those that thought TQM looked about the same as last year. I need to watch the replay because I think my brain got baked in the sun yesterday, but one play I recall was the pass that got intercepted after a very humorous offensive pass interference call. TQM looked like that was...
