Can't speak for others but I agree with everything flea says. Especially "...pony up the $$$$$$" "Because we are Way Behind in the arms race". Truth hurts but can be a catalyst for change.

Have you listened to other schools post game interviews? Look at it this way. They just got through a physically demanding game under duress and stressed out. Reporters will ask the most asinine "got cha" kinds of questions. What do you expect? A suave and sophisticated James Bond like...

I am really impressed with Marshall. Smart young man with a bubbling personality that just draws youngsters to him. Shamire? well, he is exceptional in more ways than one. But yes he is an intelligent man with a bright future NFL or not.

Surely you jest. Have you been on stingtalk? The atmosphere here is far different. A much older crowd here that is not into what passes as humor on stingtalk.

No, because football just isn't that important to the Hill.

That place is something else. What was the saying: "If it ain't swaying, we ain't playing" My daughter went to grad school there and she said that she could barely see Williams Brice lights off in the distance but could hear the crowds especially on Saturday nights. It is one wild place even...

I think they are a better team especially on defense BUT they are not as good as some we have played in the past. The thing that I find worrisome is they have two BIG 300 plus pound defensive tackles that promise to be a handful. After watching them against Miami, my impression was that we...

Maybe if Virginia Tech had also won but just one of us winning may have been a deal killer for 3:30. Certainly for both of us losing that was pretty much the ball game. 12:30 it is. As long as it does not rain, I think we have a chance but we will have to play better than we have in quite a...

Pretty much my thinking. If we do not win two of the next three we will be below .500 and not deserving of a bowl. Bowls should be a reward for a good season. This does not qualify.

If it is disparaging it is because of their behavior towards fans of other schools unfortunate enough to be "between the hedges".

You are both wrong. When Charley Pell was the coach it stood for (according to a friend who was a USCe fan) "It's Probation Time Again Ya'll"

Well, it is considered fashionable among such folks to bark like a dog. I guess among many people in this state that is endearing. I have lived here most of my life and never understood the attraction of UGA. iiwii

"...larger challenges at Tech..." does not even begin to describe the utter despair that surrounded this program in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The challenges facing the football program now are significant to be sure but are hardly insurmountable as it appeared to be back in the day.

Good question. Sure. If there are play makers found for wide receivers comparable to Smelter and Waller. If the offensive line recruiting is better. If special teams are vastly improved in all areas. If a quarterback is found who can make teams pay for cheating safeties up to the line. If...

I understand your frustration but I think you are overreacting a bit. The primary issues, as I see them are: 1) Recruiting of linemen both offense and defense must improve 2) Special teams in all phases with the possible exception of punting are very poor especially the return teams 3)...

That pretty much covers it but you forgot about tepid fan support, the Hill not providing adequate resources for recruiting, the BOR hostility, white outs during the day, uniforms, white helmets, so on and so forth in classic Tech fan fashion.

This pretty much says it all. minus 2 in 2017 in turnovers. One thing that will absolutely get us beat against Virginia is to turn the ball over more than twice. They are pretty good themselves in TOP. Bronco has a chance to back up his big talk about facing the triple option. BC got big...

They are really pretty good but not great. They looked bad, real bad against BC at home. They have a receiver who will give us a lot of trouble if we are not careful. My impression comparing them to Wake is that they are better on defense in some ways but don't defend the run as well as Wake...

I wasted time and watched Virginia vs. Duke and Virginia vs. BC. They have a running back that runs hard. A quarterback that is not ideal for a spread in that he has somewhat limited mobility and a pretty good line especially in pass blocking. Defense can be pretty good but was prone to...

Now you have done it. I have a man crush to beat the band. Now that's what I am talking about. Hit those weights and run until you puke. It that doesn't make you a football player. Well, some things can't be helped.
