    Coach Prime to Colorado

    I’d agree. I know students there, and alumni. Colorado does have to compete with the Broncos (and Colorado is Denver Bronco country), but Sanders would have raised the interest in the team. And, he might have one loss so far if he was coaching here—but not three and not yesterday’s loss.

    Bowling Green Post Game... 😢

    I hear you on the defense. The end of last year was a bright spot, relatively speaking. It’s been bad since about 2008–longer than some people have watched the team. I agree and don’t agree about talent levels. I agree that we can and should be able to have a no-name defense. But having two or...

    First game with my daughter, looking for advice.

    I hope, despite the game, that your daughter had a great time with her dad. That’s the important part.

    Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    The QB has to adjust to the rhythm of the game, but not safeties, linebackers, running backs, or wide receivers. Out of all the players, QBs get swapped out less than other players. QBs and centers tend to stay in at all costs. But QBs don’t often run hot and cold like we’re seeing here. This...

    Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    Some of the greatest coaches in the game have subbed out a QB to coach them and get them playing well. I cited examples. I can cite more. There are teams that do bench their QB for the rest of the game—in 2017, Saban swapped Hurts for Tua. In the places where a player gets benched for the rest...

    Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    Good football teams do that all the time. I’ve watched good OCs doing that for decades. Spurrier would swap QBs out every series (he was unusual). Fridge did it with Godsey. Parcells won Super Bowls doing it. And the optics don’t matter—you do what you need to get your QB playing right It’s...

    Bowling Green Post Game... 😢

    This offense scores more than our offense did the last few years. But it’s not the offense I thought we were going to have—I thought we were going to have the WKU/Texas Tech/Oklahoma/USC offense, but our running game can’t get going. I’m going to get accused of hyperbole, but Key has to do...

    Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    He should have been pulled to the side for a series in the second and coached more by Weinke while Pyron played. King may have more upside than Pyron, but he does go cold—and we’ve seen that in multiple games. Either he starts to make bad throws, or people are taking plays off, but he went...

    Bowling Green Post Game... 😢

    Not trying to pick on you, but this was way worse than a bad offensive game. After the first 5 minutes, it was a terrible offensive game. Yes, the defense should have held BG to single digits. Before today, BG’s offense was one of the worst offenses in FBS. BG’s defense was almost as bad...

    Bowling Green Post Game... 😢

    That’s a similar game. You have a team you should beat, that’s ready to get back on the bus and go home as soon as they show up. You give them a little hope and let them find out that you can be pushed around. Then they continue to beat you up for three quarters until they win the game. This...

    How long has it been since the Yellow Jackets football team was above .500?

    From here on out, we save this kind of post until AFTER we go over .500 for the season.

    How long has it been since the Yellow Jackets football team was above .500?

    It's easy to forget that there was optimism for an entire week that year.

    How long has it been since the Yellow Jackets football team was above .500?

    We started the 2020 season 1-0, with a win over FSU in the season opener. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/georgia-tech/2020-schedule.html

    GT vs BG Ghost Uniforms

    I don’t get the uniform debates. If the players are happy and playing well, I’m good. Draw fangs on the mouthpieces for Halloween. Wear funky socks. Roll out Jimmy Buffet memorial aloha jerseys.

    Yet another “Clemson found a way out of the GOR and is going to the SEC in 2025” article popped up today. I won’t bother to link.

    I will be happy if we win, stay healthy, and improve the weak parts of our game

    Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    He was well suited to a Malzahn offense. He had a mix of run and pass, but he wasn’t a glorified running back. I didn’t see the same thing you did with Carolina. I thought Rivera ran Newton into the ground.

    ACC Standings

    Which burns more clock—a 3 and out running the ball, or getting first downs completing passes 3/5ths of the time? If you can’t run it and can’t pass it, you’re in trouble. We normally pass pretty well. We need to improve our running game. We need it. But, if it’s the third quarter, from what...
