  1. Another uGA player arrested

    Never smoked it, possessed it, and would never vote to legalize it. That said, I don't think people arrested for possession should spend any jail time but should be fined heavily. I have two nephews that were drug addicts that got their start, so to speak, with marijuana. One overdosed on...
  2. Why Georgia Tech likely will never adopt the shotgun again

    Addressing number 6 I think they are being honest to the extent that it is the speed at which that fullback is coming at the defense is hard to replicate in practice and as a typical defense today you see the spread option from the gun all the time but this offense is seldom seen. Any offense...
  3. Andrew Marshall's status for next season

    On the surface, it would appear that this is cause for optimism. Yet some of these players have not improved much, if any, over the course of their careers. In other words, they have hit their ceiling. This has become an all too often common refrain over the last 5 years or so. I wish that...
  4. Roof

    I see both sides of this argument and must admit I am off the Roof bandwagon. His "blitzes" are unimaginative and the old eyeball test tells me we are little better now than even five years ago. On the other hand, I still contend it is more a matter of talent or lack thereof that is at work...
  5. REPOSTED from STINGTALK: Paul Johnson as GT coach

    In Coach Dodd's biography he admitted that he entertained thoughts of going to Texas at that time. Recruiting had really gotten to him. His wife said that he was depressed about the whole situation especially the Hill. He felt like he just did not have the players and Tech was playing...
  6. Minimum to be good (Recruiting related)

    I don't know either but this particular situation has the potential to get out of hand in a hurry. I really do not anticipate that happening because we have recruited a little bit better and Coach Johnson can still befuddle opponents but these things have a way of snowballing on a program...
  7. Minimum to be good (Recruiting related)

    An interesting post that summarizes the situation we find ourselves going into the 2018 season. Quite simply, we need more play makers on both sides of the ball. Our perimeter blocking was unsatisfactory, passing was unsatisfactory, as noted by the OP the offensive line play was pretty good...
  8. Paul Johnson era recruiting

    This pretty much sums it up. We are trying to recruit with the likes of Miami, Virginia Tech, FSU, and Clemson with one hand tied behind our back. There needs to be across the board changes made unless our fan base and the Hill are content to slowly drift down into mediocrity then maybe we...
  9. Paul Johnson era recruiting

    This is simultaneously, at least for me, amazing and disconcerting. Amazing that we have had the truly great years like 2016 and 2014 with what seems to be fewer resources and fewer high rated recruits. Disconcerting in that it is virtually impossible to continue with the smoke and mirrors for...
  10. GT - competing at a higher level

    We played West Virginia in a bowl game back in the 90s I think. Don Nehlen (spelling?) was their coach. Asked about Georgia Tech, he simply said: paraphrasing here: "Georgia Tech? There is something about that name" It is hard to quantify what that "something" is that so attracted your...
  11. GT - competing at a higher level

    Yep. Sometimes it is not the grades you make but the hands you shake.
  12. GT - competing at a higher level

    Darryl Smith was from here in Albany. His mother was a teacher at Dougherty High School. Don't know about his recruiting rankings, don't care, in high school and in college when he hit someone they stopped like instantly. High character person in high school same thing in college I guess...
  13. GT - competing at a higher level

    I guess they could go to all that bother by negatively recruiting against us by talking about defending the triple option in practice or they could do it the easy way by getting a calculus textbook and setting it down on the living room table and saying"Think you could pass this?" They could...
  14. GT - competing at a higher level

    An interesting post and you made the critical point that recruiting is a struggle. It has always been a struggle due to the factors that have endlessly been debated from academics to commitment of resources and everything in between. Changing coaches is not going to be a game changer that will...
  15. Jay Jones Transferring

    Best of luck to Jay. He will find his dream in his own way and in his own time. We have three quarterbacks and all of them need to work at getting better. In any event, quarterbacks transferring is the least of our worries. It has happened in the past and will continue in the future.
  16. Well we made the front page of TMZ

    If these guys hit the opposition like they do their teammates then we might have won a few games. It is sad that someone connected with the team decided to release this video for $ in all probability. They were probably just clowning around but there is the possibility that this incident...
  17. What if CPJ had Bama or Climpsuns players...?

    We can't recruit to that level of talent regardless of what offense we run.
  18. What if CPJ had Bama or Climpsuns players...?

    Next year's schedule looks to be every bit as challenging as this year's schedule was. If we don't play better, we may not make a bowl next year either. Best to look on the bright side and think that we will at least see the Jackets play some really good teams.
  19. What if CPJ had Bama or Climpsuns players...?

    I don't think there is any question that we have significant recruiting obstacles that need addressing. Could he win a national championship with Clemson type talent? No one knows. Players like that are not too keen on running the triple option for one thing. But if we had Clemson's defense...
  20. Talent

    I am not trying to excuse the coaches but I have read and believe this to be true from years of following college football that the hardest position to properly evaluate and recruit is offensive line. It is a rare occasion when you find a prospect for tackle in our system who is both big and...
