Essobee, I remember the tear-away jerseys. Those were good times when we were winning. I am a poor loser, so I really miss those times. I am now 78, and go to the church on Tuesday for study of various Bible topics that we would not want to discuss in Sunday School. One of the other guys and I...

Let's look at this from another view. What if it is your son that is entering a college. First, we know that few graduates enter the NFL and make the long term route. This means most of the student-athletes have to earn a living. Which College would you personally want your son to attend? Would...

For those who believe in sticking to the tradition of the school in color and makeup of the uniforms, I agree that this is often a drawing point for some athletes. The two things that mean the most when parents are raising children are love and discipline. If you have both administered equally...

Klaus: I may be wrong, but I think a lot of the big contributors for Tech are deceased. I understand there are a few left, but probably not enough to cough up big money to pay off the JP debt. I blame the AD who just went to Clemson for extending his salary another 6 years and then leaving. I...

Mack: No doubt about it, Roger Kaiser was the real deal. Mark Price was also outstanding in his play and leadership. It would be extremely hard to really name a number 1 player out of the top players at Tech. Each had his own particular style of play. I remember Yunkus was almost unstoppable in...

How could Mike BooBoo possibly be given the Offensive Coordinator Award of the Year? Georgia receives some of the best offensive linemen in the nation each year. They have the best set of backs of anyone in the nation. They also have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. Yet, they had a...

Eric, did his SEC uniform have a stuffed pocket in it? Pesonally, I don't think extremely few kids would choose a school because of the uniform. I think the head coach is the most important reason, next the studies, his chances at playing time, maybe some pretty girls in the school, etal. I...

First, I do no have to abide by your rules to state whether Tech is efficient on offense or defense. I can use my own judgment and will do so, ignoring any sarcastic remark you might make. The offense is not efficient when it counts. The teams that have the manpower to shut us down frequently do...

connell62: Lethal Weapon 3 has been the best and most exciting basketball team at Tech. Three players averaging 20 points per game and they all played as a team. Brian Oliver not only could shoot, but he was pretty good on the boards and defense for a guard. However, the best College player we...

AE 87: I assure that I will discuss any of my remarks if requested to do so. However, I am not one to retaliate when someone posts a negative remark about me or my post. I just assume that is their right to have their own opinion, so I leave it at that unless I am specifically asked a question...

Mack, thanks for the response. I think maybe you, I, and all the older guys were spoiled by Dodd. He not only was a good game day coach, but he was a pure gentleman and enjoyed life. The only thing I faulted about Dodd was his kicking on third down. There is no way you could do that in today's...

I have no gripes about the task being difficult, and probably more difficult than the factory football schools. All I am stating is that there are plenty of good athletes around the nation who are capable of playing football at Tech and keeping up with the courses. When they do, they are ahead...

Boomergump: When I posted on the Hive, there were two posters who really knew their stuff. One was in football and one was in basketball. I do not remember their Hive names. I have been here only a short time on this board, but have been reading your articles. I just wondered if you posted on...

I have seen some boards where a few members try to squelch any negative comments about coaching. They somehow think the person making the comment is not a true Tech fan. Personally, I have made some negative remarks about coaching, but never about a player. I can assure this board and others...

There are many, many excellent prospects throughout the United States who have the mental abilities to pass all the courses at GT. I can assure you; if the prospect likes the coach, his attitude, honesty, the way he handles his players, his ability to win, etal, he will go with the coach...

We tend to leave out the part that benefits the players. The last assessment I saw regarding the cost of a football scholarship's education was approximately $100,000 a year. I am sure this covers all aspects, but it is not cheap. They are getting a free education for their efforts. They get...

Reply to DTGT: There are many jobs that are more dangerous than a football, basketball, or baseball player. The Police, Firefighters, and Military are much more dangerous. The professional, high paid, players want to sign a contract which means they are their own employer, yet they want...

Jerry, I have always enjoyed your views and information. You have always appeared to be close to the situations and offer reasonable assessments.

It is absurd to pay this much money to coaches. It is way beyond reasonable. This is one reason I refuse to watch any pro games; the salaries for the pro players are also ridiculous.

Laskey is proven. He is gutsy and explosive for short yardage. He also has shown he can catch passes thrown to him. Custis is not proven at this time, but that does not mean he can't do the job. I certainly hope we have more potential B-Backs than this. Redshirt players often fill in nicely and...
