    Quick poll on the pulse of the fanbase....

    Usually where I disagree on posts is where the criticism seems too general such as "we played very very poorly against Tulane". As noted, like every game, there was good and bad. But for JT's fumble and interception, the game would likely have been a cake-walk with everyone jumping on the...

    After a play that fails horribly, I usually know one that would have worked better. If they paid for armchair criticism, I could quit my day job..

    What do we know so far?

    Maybe some of the frustration is more natural for people who are problem solvers like Tech grads who analyze the situation and want solutions to be implemented. I am not an engineer (math major), nor did I attend Tech, but I am Tech fan from childhood. It has been fascinating to be read this...

    QB Play

    JT reminds me a bit of Tevin from his quietness but JT is faster, and throws better. If Tevin had his speed he would have taken it "to the house" many more times and opened up the offense even more as the defense had to adjust to his speed. The only problem is that he is just a redshirt soph and...

    I Guess I Need a Lesson

    I think of the wishbone as a formation out of which running a triple option is one possible play. We "ran" the wishbone in high school and although a triple option was our most common play, we ran many other plays from that "wishbone" formation.

    Wofford Game Thoughts and Little Perspective

    We seem to speculate on how good or how bad the team will be way past what is reasonable from what we do know so far. The Wofford game increased my hope in some areas and concern in others. I am optimistic because the team is young and has a young quarterback that started his first game against...

    Film Study -Offense vs Wofford

    JT certainly had too many misreads and there will be many more this year, but I loved his decisiveness. Instead of looking for a safe place to fall avoiding contact, he tried to maximize his yardage. Even more I love that he is only a first game soph. Hard not to get excited about his upside...

    Game Day

    It is important to note that we only had 4 possessions in the second half (excluding the take a knee, final possession) and scored 4 touchdowns. Two punts all game, both in the first half. For a rs soph quarterback starting his first game, it is hard for me to be hyper critical of his performance.

    Game Day

    The other option is it is still simply too early to tell. We should be even trying to call how the season, defense or offense will be after one game. If so South Carolina should shut down their season now, Virginia should assume that barring a couple of defensive touchdowns they should be ranked...

    Georgia Tech player to transfer

    It is hard for me to believe that playing time was the primary basis when he obviously knows how many seniors are leaving and how we rotate a-backs. There are probably several more significant factors in his decision but I hope the main one was that he realized there never would be the playing...

    Transfers must sit out. Graduates are not transfers and aren't required to sit out a year.

    Whitehead update

    We will need a 2-4-6 defense and must hope that the refs learned their math at Athens!

    Whitehead update

    As I understand it. If he was a graduate, he is not truly a transfer but someone who had completed his degree at a different school. Just like the basketball players who got their degree elsewhere and came to Tech with a year of eligibility remaining. Now he is simply a transfer who must sit...

    Whitehead update

    I tend to be overly optimistic but this makes it tough. It is hard not to think that this will likely cost us in the W-L column as we are just too thin with dual loses at this position.

    Getting stronger...

    Totally agree with 33 jacket. Obviously a great bench press alone has little value but unless mobility, speed etc is compromised because of it, it is preferable to be the stronger man. I think excellence in the weight room often speaks to commitment and self discipline as well.

    Primarily based on Larramore's earlier statement that "Guys just encourage the young man. He has called everyone in tears but he accepts his punishment. I am disappointed but I think Lynn is beating himself up far more than we could." Maybe he is just upset he was "caught" but I hope this...

    Sounds like Griffin is repentant and that is a good thing. Great things can come out of adversity and I hope the rest use this to become better, not bitter. Personally I don't see this as an indictment of PJ at all. I have hired a lot of people over the years and despite my best efforts, some...
