One of my Lt Colones who used to work for me in another time and place texted me today that Southern is looking hard at Brent Pye as new football coach and .............strong talk that there will be a place for Mike Sewak somewhere in the mix.........okay its just a rumor but this guy has his...

Of course I messed my reply to daBuzz but I meant that Dodd was so well liked by all fans even ...........georgie fans...........

no doubt but the keys to success really caught my eye....they were good then and still good now.

Can you imagine old Grey Fox in living room with your parents telling them he will graduate you and let you play some good football in Atlanta ! I still like his idea of what makes a successful team etc....no wonder we won !

Well like the CIA got a hold of it or something.Sent PM on Facebook to Jim ......but no reply so lets have a good one on this new one....seems like a lot of fun in the future talking about Tech football.

Younsters will probably poo poo this as old school and only for old guys but if you want to see how Dodd could charm a room go to Bobby Dodd on utube and you should see a 4 part series of Dodd at the Ga Bulldog Club in Decatur..He is funny with homespun syrup mouth jokes but they are funny and...

Rodney you are spot on when I see guys make a tackle and then play to the crowd...it is something that in our time would fire us up to make sure the guy got nothing the rest of the night..We had only 150 kids in Class C Wadley Ga and were the smallest football playing school in Ga and first yr I...

Grew up in Wadley Ga and am still here ...pop 2500 folks but when I was in second grade Sammie Lamb came to town as football coach and he coached everything even the kids like me so for ten yrs I knew how to pull as a lineman,run pass patterns and how to down field block and of course tackle..I...

Agree it does start young but in our area we still. Work hard on fundamentals.We used to practice hour and half and out but first fifteen to twentumy on each day was fundamentals.I know time is constrained but the fundamentals taught religiously pays off.

Talked to the Foggy this morning.........he is still full of fun and excitement for Ga Tech.......he is getting ready for a good Christmas and always is very respectful of my family during the holidays and at all times.Didnt know you two knew each other..........Uh Oh !

Yep but one thing is for sure...........georgie will not tell us what happened........get laughs from georgie fans who say they have one of the toughest policed team rules in SEC......come on guys I may be old but not born last night.HWGA

Well again two of them are in deep do do with MR after breaking rules ......somethings never change.........

Of course I had many wars with others on the other board but I felt like the coaches due to the prima donna athletes they had sort of dis guarded fundamental football We were taught to explode into the runner and keep head up and use shoulder then..........Bear Bryant started the bowing neck...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to All ..........and now off to the grocery store for CINC

Now you are spot on.........todays kids just wrestle and throw folks around .No more form tackling where you put helmet in chest and lock up.See this so often with our dbs but we are getting better.We alsways stressed in practice the proper technique since that seemed to keep folks from being...

Yeah agree with you....wish something could be done to keep injuries down but its now speed and girth and violence and like you said its......football.When I first played in 61 the biggie was grabbing face mask and clipping.Now it is the hit across the middle high up on the reciver.Guess you...

Yep if you had a cage like lineman had .......you would scare folk to death and the only spearing we got called for was in front of the official or so late to be remembered..Nope no gator aide just plain sweat and pads three days a week ,scrimmage thirty minutes each and every day.Wind sprints...

We got the first Riddells that came out .Little rubber in top to keep head in proper line i guess.If you went up against a Wilson ,the kind the Bears used in NFL,and hit somebody; head on........you lost.

My coach had the saying "water water everywhere but not a drop to spare ' and he meant it.Funny though drink all you wanted to at half and be bloated and then nothing during the week.
