On target. It is so difficult to maintain peak performance week after week that several years ago there was a movement among coaches in all sports to track biorhythms. Any of y’all remember that? But the advantage uga has is having such a superior level of talent and depth that even when they...

Speaking of wide receivers, Smelter proved to me that rope end Olympic level speed, though nice to have, is probably 3rd or 4th in level of importance. Smelter was quick, which meant he could get separation on virtually any defender. Once getting a defender out of position he had just enough...

💯 percent. Even if we lose Saturday I will be optimistic about the future but a win plus a bowl game would be a remarkable first year turnaround and I would be ecstatic. I’m even cautiously nervous to see how we do against uga. They are definitely a measuring rod for all things college...

These are fun questions. And not because I’m unhappy with Key. The Tech psyche is forever addicted to the ongoing question of what is the secret sauce that can win at an academically challenging school with a limited curriculum in an age of semi-pro ball.

Tuscaloosa is not a big city.

Which school? 😊 For some reason your comment took me back to Chip Kell, All American at Tennessee. He was said to have “set the standard” for modern offensive line blocking at 6’ 240 pounds. No matter how many times we mention him I never get tired of remembering one of our best DTs ever...

Oh no, not the patience thing again with another Tech coach. Isn’t there anything else on the menu? 😊

Well, “Howdy!”

I think I read that ROTC is still required for freshmen and sophomores at A&M. It is part of their leadership core curriculum.

👍 Yep, coach was using 46 point bold type face between those lines.

Yes, dropping passes was contagious. And mentioning Singleton was due to having Clemson on their heels early and letting them off the hook with our own miscues.

Texas A&M is an ROTC school. Used to be required of every male student but I’m sure now, think they have bent the rules some.

This is good analysis and explains what I was seeing but couldn’t quite explain. I just knew as soon as we dropped some passes and false started we were in dangerous territory and would lose the entire rhythm of the game if didn’t get back in control of the clock. Clemson is just too good and...

If I recall in the late 60s Tech was one of those teams that still had a “quick” side and a “strong” side on the offensive line. The quick side could have linemen as light as 215 matched on the other side of the center with strong side linemen who averaged 30 pounds heavier. But, yeah, in 1970...

A few of us on here could tell you about linemen in the dark ages. Bear Bryant seemed to prefer quickness over size for his offensive linemen. The theory is that if a play is well executed the lineman has to get to a spot and hold a block for a brief second and the running back is by before...

Mustard has a nostalgic feel to it harkening back to those years before gold was not available in fabric. Fabrics slowly evolved and we are just now getting close to “the right shade of old gold” in a jersey but this color was around a long time and I hate to “throw it away.” Lots of history...

You may have a point, however, I believe our first touchdown was a QB run.

I have not counted plays and drives like you have but I had a strong impression by the second half that we were becoming predictable. We ran a lot on first down, usually for little or no gain, and then would pass on second down. It became clear that passing when Clemson knew we were passing...

Time for my annual report on personal uniform preferences. We should have 3 and only 3. Gold - White - Gold …..classic version with gt on no stripe helmet White - Mustard - White ….yep, the Bud Carson version Gold - Blue - White ….National Championship version These should be used...

I have so many problems with this post.
