Over and over and over again when random people ask me why in the world I would pull for Tech teams I tell them it’s because players there value education as much as sports. For me, it’s a rebellious, counter-cultural message to a society that is becoming increasingly anti-intellectual and is...
In the second half I noticed something odd about his dribble. He continually got the ball far away from his body, down court and close to the defender like he was “inviting a steal.” Couldn’t make up my mind if this was a deliberate ploy where he would break toward the basket if the defender...
Absolutely agree that outside of one defender we didn’t deserve anyone from defense on 1-3 teams.
On offense I wondered about J Haynes. I guess if you just go by stats he doesn’t make the list but he was a threat on offense that made us much better. If the offensive line continues to improve...
That was a smothering defense by Tech!
Of course, that included deciding to let certain of their players take open shots for 3s who weren’t very good, but shutting down the big men inside was a practically inspirational effort.
Will be interesting to see if our defense continues to improve.
I was in favor of giving Deion a go here. In hindsight that was a desperation moon shot based on the notion that Tech football would be gone forever if we didn’t try radical surgery. Instead we are building slowly and steadily from the ground up. So glad no one listened to me. We are doing...
Have a friend who lives in Corvallis, and, having lived in multiple states and towns, he feels he has finally found his home. In short, he loves Corvallis! I think it’s hard to be objective about places in this country. Everyone has a preference or a prejudice about places. My preference is...
Exactly. If you can do the basics and play with energy you’ll get a lot of playing time. I think this is being effectively communicated to the players and, tonight at least, they seem to be getting the message.
Before the season started several of us commented that it would be interesting to see how coach S puts the disparate pieces of this team together. We are learning more and it’s still intriguing. The feeling you get is that any player who proves he can play is going to get time. I don’t think...
We will see but it looks like Deion’s shtick is not attractive to every recruit. Could be a slight bump in the road or a major bug in the system. The NCAA is not going to help Deion hang on to his recruits. CPJ had a simple remedy if someone committed but then kept looking at other schools...
I had tickets every year for the Peach Bowl for several years beginning with the inaugural game and the only one I can remember that wasn’t either wet, cold, or snowing was South Carolina vs West Virginia.
I love Chicago, especially the jazz clubs. But, no city in the world has as many hidden gems and secret hot spots as NY. It has always amazed me how many free things there are to do compared to Atlanta and other cities.
