Coach Johnson is not the only answer as there are more than a handful of very good coaches who in their own way and in their own time could have achieved what he has. But let me tell you being a head coach at the Institute is not for the faint at heart. The recruiting issues make this a tough...

When my daughter was going off to college 10 years ago, she briefly flirted with the idea of going to UGA because of a couple of friends. My response which was a bit harsh to be sure, was: first you need a higher class of friends and second you may attend UGA but it will be on your own dime...

You are a clever devil I will hand you that.

You did say "Integrity" as one of the prominent criteria in the selection of the Dodd Trophy? Well, that would just about eliminate most of the current SEC and a large swath of the football factories. Can you imagine, say Ed Orgeron winning this award. Christ, he would sell his mother to win...

Tech had undefeated seasons in 1901, 1905, 1915, and 1916 but was not named national champions. Until the 1920s it was presumed that the best football in the nation was played in the East in general and the Ivy League in particular. That bias may well have played a part in denying Tech an...

Good guesses but I would go with Charley Pell. South Carolina fans back then would claim that IPTAY stood for: "It's Probation Time Again Ya'll"

You mean UGA cheated? Shocked, I tell you I am shocked at this revelation. Besides the pertinent question for "inquiring minds" is which of Herschel's multiple personalities received said Trans Am? Which I recall was the prestige car of choice among BMOC back in the day.

I watched all 4 games. Predicting a game like this is usually a fool's errand. I will say this though: IF Alabama plays like they did last week they will win. Of the four teams I saw last week they were the most impressive by far. That said, past results are no guarantee of future...

This is sound advice. I am sure Woody will make his mark but it may take a while to get the players to adopt his mindset and play the way he wants them to play. We will see but fans should be skeptical of miracles in the first year.

al I know this is going to ruffle feathers but Vince's UGA teams were very similar in philosophy to Dodd's teams. Play defense, run the football, always have sound kicking and don't beat yourself with silly penalties and dumb mistakes. In his autobiography, Vince pretty much admitted to being...

Well, I am not sure about 1951 but the 1952 team had 6 count em 6 All Americans. They were a legit national champion. In 1951, only Kentucky at #17 was ranked when Tech played them. This was when the Bear was coaching. Still, LSU, Auburn and Alabama were good and Georgia still had Wally...

Thank God for the great state of Wisconsin!

It means that their collective lives have no meaning outside the ups and downs, ins and outs, of 18 to 21 year olds through whom they are living vicariously doomed to disappointment and despair. It is what it is.

This man gets it!! No wonder he was in the "center" of all the action.

The blocking was better than usual I was just trying to be magnanimous to TM. Sometimes, as you said, he just missed them but also we are not getting separation from opposing defensive backs.

I have a friend at church who had the temerity to ask me if I was now going to root for the Dwags. My answer was nope! Not no way, not no how. She actually thought that home state loyalty would over ride my hatred of all things red and black. Foolish lady. I quoted from the book of...

I know what Vince Lombardi, Robert Neyland , and Bear Bryant would say: 1) Mindset of We instead of Me 2) Everything else is inconsequential because they would flow naturally from #1

Yes, that's him I would recognize the "dreds" anywhere. (TIC)

Two things about Marshall may account for Coach Johnson's frustration: Being told repeatedly to pitch the ball instead of holding on to it and an inability to hit open receivers. Of course, in TM's defense, it is hard to see open receivers when you are running for your life and on the matter...

Yep and we know how that turned out. Quarterback at Georgia Tech has more twists and turns than a Friday episode of Days of Our Lives or so my wife says.
