Huh?

Sometimes, fellows, you just see the Georgia Tech elitism running wild. Other schools with other degrees just as hard and just as valid are out there, and Tech is not alone, try as grads might want to believe. I have no idea if Tech makes allowances for athletes, but it is nothing to get puffed...

The lack of knowledge by the emcee was fascinating. Between black and gold and "top 10 recruiting class" he kinda crossed several double yellows. Or maybe it is double blacks now.

anybody else have a problem on betting on our guys to lose?

Looking like Syracuse will be very hard, way too hard, if by that you mean play as well. Babers has been a real find for them and while they haven't been consistent, they can play big game football as well as anybody. You just know Clemson has that one circled every year from now on if they...

Why? We never did before. I think you may have cut through the chaff, and with a $1 million incentive, that would do it.

If we won 8 I would be delirious. But I am not writing off 5 or 6, and I have this goofy feeling that football players are football players, and if it is true what they say -- you fit your offense to the talent and don't try to shoehorn it, then he can find enough offense to make a transition to...

I don't think Johnson ever, with the possible exception being his first year at Navy, thought he would have a losing season going in. I dunno why he quit, though I suspect the constant battle for "stuff" wore at him, and I do suspect he found recruiting for his offense at P5 level was in fact...

Now I was with you right up to here.

Never heard anybody say being smart doesn't count, in any sport. Of course it does. And it can counter "experience". Based on my experience, journeyman at best, if seniors are "typically better" than freshmen (Lawrence, Tua and uncounted others may disagree) it is because they are 3-4 years...

In the first place it is football. They are not designing a moon lander. It is just football. In the second, if they are smart enough to get into GT they probably can learn different football schemes.

If that is the guy then at least he has some credibility. I just choose not to believe him. We are going to be pretty decent this season, and one win with everything else an upset is just goofy.

I hope you have had time to scan some of the Bama whining going on. It is led by Paul Finebaum, who I gather actually sits in front of people and denies he is a pimp (can I say that here?) for Alabama and the SEC. Yet within 24 hours of the shellacking, at which he said he was "gobsmacked" --...

It would help if I knew who this Landry and whether he has any actual football knowledge and GT background. Or is he just anotherblogger with an opinion he can't wait to share?

I can't point to something he did specifically, but where Johnson went on the sidelines Monken was right beside him, and when he left for GSU, I thought Tech lost something it never regained. I just can't specify what. But the job Monken has done at Army is nothing short of spectacular. Almost...

Now, that depends on whose lawn, right?

I agree you about the assistants. Nobody wants to be a Saban and make sure an assistant takes the blame, but Johnson never in my view had a really strong coaching staff, and those who got hired stayed hired, with a particular affinity for former players. Despite some claims on the board, I...

Okay, "Lacking in clutchness" is the post of the week and enough to guarantee my surrender on the whipped front. Soon I will use that and claim credit for it.

Well, okay. But presenting what we think vs. what we know gets you a failing grade in a history class. I "think" some boosters do. I have heard anecdotal evidence they do. But I don't know it, and anyone who does is obligated to blow the whistle. More probable and more prevalent is the booster...

I am stunned that we had defensive signals. Unless they were the ones for "Miss every tackle" or "Play way off the receivers else you might impede their ability to catch the ball"? More seriously -- and those questions are not entirely facetious -- Kansas was awful and should not have whipped...
