    Weather for the ACCCG

    Thinking about the O-line getting leverage on a wet field just made me laugh at the thought of using a "slip and slide" approach to the cut block. Since FSU will already be so skeered of Shaq Mason and company diving forward low to trip them up maybe on a rain-soaked field our Oline can just...

    Weather for the ACCCG

    And that game at Bobby Dodd last year against UNC. I know different cast of characters at many positions but still a lot of people who handle the ball this year or play on the lines where you need to plant your feet and get leverage at least have had that experience of playing on a drenched...

    Best Offense in FBS?

    I just read this article: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/99553/why-fsu-may-struggle-vs-ga-tech-offense It lists the following offensive categories Tech is Top Five in the nation in (but the article doesn't always give the actual figures): First at...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    @Longestday . . . my hero. Thomas is even jumping and has a guy closing in on him. I have been intentionally trying to be consistent in my posts and NOT get into an argument about whether I think he was intending to do some form of a pump fake here or not. I am sticking with the point that it...

    Reggie Ball

    That is why I think it is useful to see a kind of thread running through his thoughts as he answers. A development. Notice the timing of this interview as well. It is from October this year after we just beat VT and Miami and before we played and lost to Duke and UNC. So I think he...

    FSU DL

    UGA spent time during each of their bye weeks prepping to play Tech, just as every team that plays us does in Spring, Fall and throughout the season. But sure, they didn't try hard to win. They were practically in tears and stunned afterward but no they never give it their all on the field...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    Wait, now you think we got a break in the GA Southern game? I guess it does come down to what Longestday says above about watching the same video. When are SEC replay officials ever going to be officially rebuked by their league when making calls helpful to an SEC team and detrimental to an...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    You cannot judge if something is going to be a pump fake or a forward pass until the end of the QB's entire arm motion. The rulebook clearly states that the assumption of intent is always that what they are witnessing when a QB starts a forward arm motion with the ball that he has begun a...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    No we do not all agree on that at all. What is a pump fake but a throwing motion in which at the end of it the QB brings the ball back to his body? Until the ball is brought back it is just a throwing motion and not yet a completed pump fake. The ball came out during the throwing motion...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    There were no ACC replay officials. It was an all SEC officiating crew per the contracts for Florida and UGA for any home non-conference games they play. It is a rule of both those teams contracts that Tech agreed to starting last year.

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    YES! That is exactly the point that CPJ makes and says he got from the head of ACC officiating. The default is to this being an attempt to pass where he loses the ball. The reason it is the default is because it eliminates the need to dissect intent or worry too much about exact precise point...

    JT's Fumble late in 4th Qtr vs. UGA

    And UGA goes for the win by going for 2. Ugh. I don't really want to think of alternate scenarios as I am just glad that somehow the better team actually did win despite the shady refs. And no, unlike that radio show caller said the goal line fumble does not even out the universe for the...

    Reggie Ball

    I totally disagree on your reading of his response. He is talking and thinking out his response at the same time and so it progresses in a recognizable arc. He starts out thinking about his high school experience and so how foreign CPJ's offense would have been to him. Then he begins to think...

    Reggie Ball

    Very nice find Techster. I hold head coaches accountable for wins and losses, for the records of the teams. So any bitterness I have over losses when Reggie was here I just direct to Gailey and Nix. RB is clearly a proud supporter of Tech football, and that is good enough for me for all our...

    ACC Championship Press Conference

    So what articles have you read from the Atlanta media that portrays CPJ in a bad light? I can only think of one guy who has ever liked to do that in any form and it is Schultz. I already addressed that above.

    Any chance we roll out the no huddle?

    HUNH is also known as (or used to be called) 2 minute and 1 minute drills. IMO, the Tech fanbase has been really really good at trolling itself for entire seasons over one or another form of alignment or schematic tweak or change practiced on during the springs (or a report of some specific...

    Draft Watch: Adam Gotsis a Name to Remember

    I think given how far from home he came to get a college education that this is a pretty good assumption to make.

    ACC Championship Press Conference

    Notice that this is YOUR interpretation of CPJ and not proof at all about how members of the press perceive him. You are proving my point. I am arguing with your contention that the press has a "bad image" of him. You do, not them.

    Yeah that is silly. I understand the hate but not the disrespect for on field accomplishment.
