Well, we (ACC) won, but it sure was ugly!

Not good for fast backs who want to get to the outside. Also, not good for quarterbacks and receivers who try to handle a hard football.

Reply to Tempest_12: Well that was an overstatement. We all know anything can happen, but Duke will be huge underdogs in this game. It is true that Texas A&M can be scored upon, but they can also light up the scoreboard when Manzeil is in a rhythm.

Since all is pretty quiet, I believe Texas already has a promise from one of the bowl game coaches, but must wait until after the bowl game to announce it. If I had a team that had a chance at winning the National Championship, I certainly would not want it announced until after the bowl game...

Glad to see Pitt win, hope we continue to win. we have a chance in all the games, except the Duke game. I am glad they had a good year, but it has hurt them in the long run in the bowl matchups. Of course, the ACC will be the underdog in most of the games, but it never hurts to be cast as the...

I really want to see FSU win this game. It appears that Jimbo Fisher is good guy, and I like to see the good guys win. He also seems to have them playing very well. Add the fact that they are an ACC team, and Auburn is an SEC team; I can find no way in my heart to want Auburn to win, so I also...

I will pull for all the ACC teams, but I am not very optimistic about most of them. With all the games we play, a team should have at least 8 wins before they could qualify for a bowl.

Mack, we only had two new pairs of Jeans each year at the start of school, so all of our Jeans were basically old. We had to buy the patches that you could stick on; they had some kind of adhesive on the patches. Most of the patches wound up on the knees. By the way, we would start out with the...

Jean-Baptiste: You bring up some valid points, but personally, I think FSU has the athletes and is too strong for Auburn, unless Auburn has one more lucky horeseshoe. hidden away somewhere. UgaBlows: There is also something to be said for a team that really believes they are destined to win...

Ole Miss is a legitimate team. They lack maybe one more good recruiting year to be in the top tier of the SEC. Their record was 7-5 with quality wins over Vanderbilt 39-35, Texas 44-23, and LSU 27-24. They lost to Auburn by a TD 22-30 and by 3 points to Texas A&M 38-41. They were #23 on offense...

Sounds like an humble person, but with gusto and goals. It appears we have qaulity as well as quantity with this recruit.

For all of the fans who would like to know the real Bobby Dodd and Tech football under his coaching, you cannot find better reading than the book, "Dodd's Luck".

OldJacketFan: "You had a friend to help you"! I think you just hit on one of the problems of today. When we played, we had no thoughts of eventually playing in College or professionally. We played for the fun and love of the game. All players on the team realized it was a team game. Today, it...

Mack, we don't know each other except as acquantances from a previous board and an invitation to go to one of the recruiting parties together. We both shared mutual concerns about Chan Gailey and Tech when Gailey was first hired as Head Coach. There was an unrelated group of us posters on a...

A College or University should not be in existence for sports, it should exist for education with sports being a by-product. Georgia Tech and Massachussets Institute of Technology are two of the best institutions set up for degrees in Engineering and specialized fields. It is far more important...

I doubt Monken ever returns to Tech. I doubt if he would ever be in demand at Tech by those who foot the big bills. Personally, I would not prefer him over many other potential coaches.

I doubt this upsets Richt as he now has more scholarship offers for this year.

Hi foggy, I remember you and your girl friend coming to my house to pick me up. I enjoyed the recruiting party as I met some of the people who I had communicated with on both the Hive and Stingtalk. We both posted a lot in those days. Good to communicate with you again. We were two of the many...

I am a firm believer of the team being a mirror image of its coach. If you see a well coached team, it will generally win without the great players. Give me a coach that knows how to place his talent into systems that amplify their talent rather than trying to place square pegs into round holes...

Agreed, tackling has lost some of its true meaning. Too many players are trying to ram the runner rather than making a sure tackle. We were taught to keep your eyes on a runners torso, and you would not be fooled by sidesteps and other fake movements, then make a burst of agressive speed into...
