    CPJ needs to be fired

    okiemon, let's put a positive spin on this. Use the result of this season as an impetus to push Stansbury and the AD to hire recruiting staff and get Johnson to improve recruiting. I realize it is difficult to get 5 star recruits on a regular basis. But there are Calvin Johnson, and...

    CPJ needs to be fired

    Now that some time has passed I am over the disastrous 2017 season. I am not on a “fire the coach bandwagon” that happen after every losing season. However, I take some umbrage to the opinion that Tech is a hard school to recruit. Tech is a long way from being an engineering only school...

    Is Jeff Monken our next coach when CPJ retires?

    Since recruiting is so important in college football, how do you guys rate Johnson as a recruiter? I wonder whether Mama wants her son to play for a foul mouthed, mean coach. Mom and Pop see Johnson on the sidelines grabbing kids by the face mask and cussing them out. I compare this to the...

    Miami fans are bad

    Remembering back to the heyday of ThugU. I wonder what the NCAA of today would have done to Miami after all of their thuggery and scandal? Would the 58 straight victories still be a record...

    UNC Postgame

    I want to add to the happy birthday wishes to Coach Shoop. He helped me come back from a knee injury my freshman year many moons ago and the knee is still working. Coach Shoop is a fine man and I wish him all the best.

    Brenton King

    Are there any Division 1 schools that rely on non scholarship kickers? I know there are instances that walk ons beat out the competition, but are there really schools that would not get the best kickers available? If so, which schools?

    Pitt. @ G.T.(12:20 p.m.)

    Did i read that correctly earlier that Toledo is playing AT Miami this weekend? If Miami can play, why not UCF?

    Bobby Dodd Stadium

    Getting out of MB Stadium was a mess. What if there were an actual emergency and the stadium needed to empty? But back to BDS@HGF. The new gate check definitely took longer. I would like to see additional lines or lanes to reduce line length. Also I miss peeing on the wall in the east...

    Jacksonville State Postgame Discussion

    This game reminds me of games where Tech was an underdog, comes in and plays well initially. The adrenaline wears off. And the better team pulls away. JSU looked to be a well coached team with some talented athletes. I was impressed that the defense stepped it up and hope the improvement...

    Re the field goal

    Milwaukee, I have to agree with you. I cannot recall a poorer performance at placekicking than I did on Monday night. I feel for the kid. However, Johnson did not fill the placekicker position until Butker. Something I complained about in the East Upper deck until he did. It appears he...

    Big Cry Here....

    The defender did not turn until after the ball hit the ground. So that is not a legitimate argument. If this is a no call, then the fourth quarter should be no different. Tech got screwed by the officials again. Sorry, but you have to call it the same way. And Tech got the short end of the...

    Scrimmage update

    Do you recall the play? I am not calling out that the intention was to hurt the QB, but in an intersquad scrimmage, no matter how hard you are trying to impress the coaches, there are times when you let up on the QB. Just my view of the play.

    Scrimmage update

    Just some personal observations, a big drop off between first and second defenses. The offensive line man handled the second defensive line. I do hope the O line puts it together this season. Not sure the pass blocking is where it needs to be. Jordan got hurt on a play that I thought should...

    #StopCutBlockHate #CutBlocksAreBlocksToo

    I hope the Tennessee defenders are geeked out about cut blocks and worried about injuries. Get in their heads. Heck, let the Oline come to the line and chant "cut block", "cut block". All in unison. Or maybe: "Cut Block, Cut Block, Take Out A Knee" "Cut Block Cut Block Tennessee". I recall...

    Top 5 Looking for in camp

    I do not have stats, but I recall during the end of the season last year, numerous blitzes. The problem being they were picked up and ineffective. Especially in the second half since the DL got no pressure. Without a standout lineman that would require a double team, 5 and 6 man blitzes can...

    "Bag Men"

    I cannot comment on today, but in the 70s, my best bud in high school got a scholarship to Tennessee. (Yes he was a stud) Prior to school starting he got a job with an alumni and as I recall got excellent pay for little work. During football season, the players were given tickets for "their...

    Film Room Tax 16 Offense Slow Motions

    So much to like on this one. Caught KU blitzing and #27 balks when Searcy bows past him rather than blocking... I was puzzled by Thomas throwing off balance. He appeared to have little pressure, but maybe seeing #1 running free, he hurried a little. GTL, I think Juene's route was to pull the...
