That is what walk-ons are for as well.

That is not a Tech fan then.

Statistics for one.

Impressive, lots of Tech fans already have the team easily undefeated next year on a schedule apparently guaranteed to be easier than this years. That is even with this years schedule lining up (including our byes and other teams) as the best schedule for Tech in 4-5 or so. Maybe this is why...

I actually thought it was pretty cool because he plays at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

How did I not know that Thomas's middle name is Bryant and he was given it in honor of the Bear?

I largely agree with you but honestly, there have been plenty of other equally "bad" bad boy college football players over the years very much tolerated by their head coaches and so on. You can go all the way back to George Gipp of Notre Dame in the 1910s to find this as a pretty constant seedy...

What really cracks me up about this annual attempt by UGA fans to wax philosophical over who is and isn't a rival of theirs is that they are implicitly lodging a complaint about winning the series with Tech too often. Think about the logic of it: 1) Tech-UGA have played since 1893, played each...

Yeah, it is only the UGA fans that have this annual contemplation over who is or isn't one of their "rivals" and also ranking them as most rivalriest to least rivalriest. I get Google alerts set with anything that mentions Georgia Tech and every year before the Tech-UGA game I get sent 2-3...

I should add that Synjyn is more willing to attempt to truck the defender. Given the difference in size and strength these two strategies make sense for each BB and when they are rotated has to make life miserable on the defenders. They can get frustrated by Laskey's bouncing off them for...

I think of Laskey as indicating his ability to "bounce off" initial contact when he says that he throws a soft shoulder. He is not so much trying to drive his shoulder through the defender as to soften the defenders blow/impact by cutting the distance between them and presenting a bad angle...

Well said Vamos, football is not nearly as complex to understand as it is made out to be. It is about blocking the other team from tackling the guy with the ball. The chess analogies are apropos but only as built on a similar essential aim in both. You have a line of people defending the king...

I really don't want to read this article, so how does he account for Tech's second quarter TD then? It was a 2nd and 5 pass to Waller from the 7 yard line for which there was not really any defense. Was that a drive where a UGA player had one of the two (as I recall) somewhat decent chances at...

I think this is a very true statement. I know that lacking in confidence is not a requisite for being a Tech fan but I really think that although the Jackets could run all over FSU and beat them solidly that this would really be an astonishing result. It would be a fantastic achievement, just...

I would love to gain insight into how assistants really fit into the breakdown of praise and blame on a college football team. They are so rarely interviewed and the head coach frequently just speaks of a royal "we" about the coaching staff or may sometimes single out the DC for his game...

There are a lot of good reasons to hate FSU. Some have been covered above. The basic reason to dislike them for me is that they are a typical factory. Another is that when FSU decided to join a conference and give up independence in 1990 there are some that say they did not really want to...

Boy, those refs really did not want to call that field goal kick good did they? And that one really looked upset about it. I guess he figured he might end up not getting paid for the game by UGA and the SEC. Also, DJ clearly caught the ball as a clean and completed interception and only began...

That swagger from PJ, hmmm, make him the AD then? :P

This is very true. Well I mean the first part. I hope the prediction ends up very true also. But the first part speaks to how much the UGA players want to win this game every year. Look at how dejected they all were. It wasn't over the season as a whole (sure that is a factor) or over not...

So wait, are you trying to follow and apply the committee's crazy "logic" or attacking it? I think you are now oscillating both directions over the course of this thread and so have lost me.
