Then I think to some extent there is some talking past each other going on since you say some Tech fans "don't realize that other schools are putting out quality alums as well." Do you specifically mean football and basketball player alums? Because when I speak about Tech vs. a factory school...

No. Although I did not include Auburn as I have not looked at UGA's schedule but just am going by the blog post linked to. Southern is still a lower tier (in effect) team. It would be a far more embarrassing loss than losing to Tech. However, if they were to lose to Southern then Tech would...

I did not go to Tech . . . but what I don't get is Tech fans who refrain from tearing down SEC and other football factory programs that make use of young men for their athletic gifts while intentionally failing to provide them with a decent education and meaningful degree. It is odd to me since...

I don't know that it will help them much although the author of that post seemed to imply it should. But, given that Southern is a tough team that nearly beat NC State and Tech last year then I am definitely rooting for them to beat UGA.

I didn't know that UGA is playing Southern again next season. Man I would so love to see them lose to the Eagles and then to Tech.

My understanding was that Mrs. Tuitt believed that Stephon was running around with a bad crowd of kids and hangers-on here in Atlanta and that would only continue if he stayed here and went to Tech. She wanted him to be in a hayseed town like South Bend but still at a good academic school (by...

I just want to point out that Animal is at worst suggesting dropping ONE good scheduled game in order to better get a shot at playing TWO to FOUR better and even tougher games . . . one of which has a reasonable chance of being played against that tough team he is initially asking to be dropped...

"tacking" . . . "poster" . . . I see what you did there.

In 08 Dwyer really was helped by the offense being new to the ACC coaches. And for the names listed second or third in years prior to 2012 their avg per carry is helped by having a much lower number of carries than the main BB.

This is a "system" position. 2014 Days = 5.9 avg yds/carry Laskey = 5.0 2013 Sims = 5.5 Laskey = 5.8 2012 Laskey = 5.2 Sims = 4.5 2011 Sims = 5.2 Lyons = 6.0 2010 Allen = 5.5 Lyons = 4.3 2009 Dwyer = 5.9 Lyons = 4.6 2008 Dwyer = 7.0 Cox = 7.7

Since no one seems to have said it I will be the first. I think Michael Summers is going to spend the summer practicing with JT and Byerly and by the end of fall practice we will all expect him to have a fantastic year as the go-to receiver.

Synjyn had a better Orange Bowl than Dwyer. That was good enough for me this season.

Does any coach or staff member in particular deserve credit on Skov's transfer? I think the "transfer market" is one where the student does the initial contacting, correct? Or is this transfer process another piece of evidence that increasing the recruiting staff has been a major point of...

I am curious to what extent special teams can be improved upon this season. Since we have a large incoming class of commits with some pretty high level prospects as far as ball pursuit and tackling goes then I can imagine a scenario where we have some punishing coverage teams that cause a few...

Scheduling discussions sure brings out the machismo in many Tech fans.

He has said that a number of times by saying that the conference could do away with all crossovers and then have a rotation through all opponents so that everyone gets to play everyone else the same amount over the same length of time.

Has anyone addressed what graduate degree Tech offers that Stanford doesn't? My understanding is that in order to be a grad transfer with eligibility at the same level (BCS) you have to be going into a program not offered at your current school. For those who love to examine Tech vs. Stanford...

The only suggestion I would have is that if the sign-up was filled so fast then they should try and do this a few times a year to get even more international students involved. Heck, you may find a great walk-on punter that way.

Is the "Johnson" over the "state champs" part the last name of the player who's ring it is? Or does it actually mean the players chose to put Coach Johnson's last name there? If the latter I think that is pretty amusing.

CPJ is also talking here to the print media right after practice. When you read Ken or Winklejohn's usage of quotes from these sessions how does CPJ come off or get described?
