We won this game because we were focused, our line blocked like crazy, and we got an outstanding effort from MJ and the Bbacks. On the other hand, Virginia Tech was flat and not as up for this game as they usually are. A typical example of why Coach Johnson and Georgia Tech are probably not...

Turning the ball over multiple times will get just about anybody beat this side of Alabama. They are particularly troublesome against option teams that can chew up the clock. Florida fans still lament, thirty plus years later, the team in the mid 80s that was #1 in the country for one week...

I think that your friend's observations as a player are pretty much spot on. Navy seems to run the option at a quicker pace (a poor description) than we do. Not that they are necessarily better, just different. A major factor in our favor is the Bback. Ours seem to my untrained eye to be...

To my way of thinking, that was pretty smart. Why follow the formula of the powerhouses like USC and UCLA who get the huge linemen and great running backs? Think outside the box and maximize your strengths which is what he did at San Diego State. Come to think of it, that is kind of what...

Yes, that was my impression although I only knew of Coryell when he was a pro coach in the 1970s. Mouse Davis got a lot of attention for going against the times which were largely devoted to the Veer and Wishbone in the early years of his time at Portland State. Well into the 1980s football...

Let's see, three teams have the week off before our game and Duke just happens to play a team with a similar offense. Extraordinary, you would think it was intended. But that can't be as all these teams practice good sportsmanship and each has a keen sense of fair play.

Well, you know what PJ says: "It is what it is" In this case, the IT being the defense. Cheer up! They might have a surprise in store for us. Wouldn't you like to see an aggressive, hard hitting, slobber knocking defense like we had under Tenuta? I know I would. Our recruiting on...

On the contrary, the Good Book assures us in Hebrews "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses ...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us..." My grandmother is assuredly in that great cloud of witnesses and as I promised so long ago I will finish...

I hear you. UNC is just about as an elitist, arrogant, insufferable a bunch as one can imagine but there is only so much hate to go around what with Miami, UGA, Clemson, Virginia Tech and so forth. As a Tech fan, you have to pick your own hill to die on. Me, I am a dyed in the wool UGA...

Now you have done it! My wife has read this post and now I have to take her out to dinner. Gee man, give me a break here.

Yes, it is a myth partly attributable to opposing coaches complaining about our players. Witness the hullabaloo about the Athlon article in which an opposing coach is quoted as saying something along the lines of our team "being a nasty bunch" and that we push the limits of the rules. Since...

Will drove that man about 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. Now what's that about cut blocking?

Well, this is the deal. On my grandmother's death bed I promised her (a dyed in wool hard shell Baptist mind you) that I would abstain from alcohol and gambling. This is a promise I have faithfully kept to this day more than 30 years later. But if I was a betting man, I would place the house...

Your facts are indisputable Solicitor. However, you failed to take into account the enormous advantage accorded the Vols because of "SEC SPEED". That overrides everything else. That and habitual residence the Vols have in the top 20 recruiting.

Flea, you don't have to answer this if it makes you uncomfortable but has Will EVER expressed any opinion about the Tech uniforms? A friend and I have an ongoing argument about this. My opinion is that the players are pretty much meh while he thinks that at least some of them are as...

My dad and all my uncles were shriners so going to that game was absolutely mandatory at our house. One thing you forgot to mention, the Wednesday before the game players from both schools would visit the children's hospital in Atlanta to sign autographs, give gifts and spread cheer to the...

Well, I guess the thinking is that against the "Big Six" of UGA, Clemson, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Miami, and UNC we will probably lose at least 4 to all 6 of those. Could happen but I can see us winning 3 or 4 of those as well. Except for UGA all of those teams are replacing quarterbacks (as...

Yes, we were hampered in this game but it seems to me as though Virginia Tech was just flat. Hard to believe, they would ever be less than totally focused against us (as they just about always seem to be) but this game was not one of their better efforts not to disparage the really tremendous...

My position is if the players like them...then I like them. But personally, I like the aforementioned 2006 jersey combo. Real clean look with the "yellow jacket" on the jerseys.
