  1. Why should we really expect to be good????

    I am quite certain that MJ was told by Coach Johnson to keep the ball more often than not. MJ is a different breed of cat from what we are used to seeing with JT5 , Vlad, and Tevin. He is kind of like a poor man's JN. He may or may not be a better passer. Similarly, his reads may be...
  2. Why should we really expect to be good????

    This man makes so much sense in point 3 that he must be a troll. Am I doing this right?
  3. Why should we really expect to be good????

    The funny thing about that game was I never thought we were truly out of it until that blasted second turnover. I don't think it was a question of them stonewalling us, so much as we did not stop them. When your defense is not getting stops, you better play perfect on offense and special...
  4. Why should we really expect to be good????

    Correction: Most teams (not UNC) don't have Bud Foster and can't clone Luther Maddy. My theory is that stopping Georgia Tech starts with having stout defensive tackles but, of course, it helps to have other pieces like a Kam Chancellor to play with.
  5. Why should we really expect to be good????

    Well, at least in 2015 you could say we were consistent with FEI rankings of 87 in both offense and defense. SOS rank in 2016 was noticeably weaker than other years even with (SEC SPEED) in three games. I guess not playing FSU does that.
  6. Why should we really expect to be good????

    I cannot add much to what others have already said but Carolina had a great day with a first round quarterback who was capable of doing that to just about anyone. This is the same UNC team that looked "chaotic" against UGA in the first game and gave away a game they should have won. Other...

    I will have you know that I was a major in ROTC so there!
  8. Bill Connelly's 2017 GT Preview

    If we could just win one of the top 3, and 4 of the middle 5, and all of the bottom 3 that would be a successful season in my opinion especially if the one at the top is UGA.
  9. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    "...but I don't think that's the real issue" I find this to be a disturbing thought. It just might be that you are right. I have assumed for the longest time that virtually all of our defensive deficiencies were due to a lack of talent and depth. For a while, we were going through defensive...
  10. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    Well, the Tenuta defenses had to overcome this slight obstacle. An offense that was so utterly predictable that my wife who knows next to nothing about football got to where she could pretty much predict Chan's calls with frightening regularity. "Did I get that right?" she would exclaim...
  11. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    True. There is always a smart aleck Know it all on every thread.
  12. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    Hell if I know, I went total Belushi speech there. I guess I was saying that we can do better than #40 in the nation but it will take an improved defense and better recruiting to get to consistently being in the top 25. We have in recent years, especially last year, made strides in both...
  13. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    Recruit more defense especially linemen (like we did this past recruiting cycle) Play better defense (although I think we have started to make progress) Some have called for changing the philosophy from bend don't break to more blitzes. I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on that. I...
  14. Ranking the Top 100 College Football Teams for 2017: No. 40 Georgia Tech

    Funny, how it always seems to come down to defense. Play better defense then we can talk about division and conference championships with top 25 ranking. Don't play good defense, well its back to being the quaint team with the quirky throwback offense that everybody loves but does not really...
  15. Hey is it time to talk Uni's

    Strongly...agree and....disagree How about that? An old geezer, like me, loves the throwbacks but let's face it the kids are the ones wearing them and they probably would rather wear something else. Besides, is that the right shade of gold?
  16. Hey is it time to talk Uni's

    An interesting perspective. Have you seen the uniforms from 2006? They had a little more "pop/razzle dazzle" as it were. How about the blue tops uniforms from 1990? I prefer the ones with the white pants but others prefer the gold. I know you have good intentions but uniform razzle...
  17. Hey is it time to talk Uni's

    Well, personally I prefer less clutter and a more classic look. I liked the old Virginia Tech purple with the Chicago maroon trim but then they had to tinker with it. Psst! You want to start some trouble on Tiger Rag or some other Clemson website? Just mention the purple uniforms and watch...
  18. #StopCutBlockHate #CutBlocksAreBlocksToo

    When the defender puts his hands down on the edge, it is just about game over. The cut blocks require a defender to take their eyes off of the back with the ball for just an instant which is time enough for our guys to get to the corner or speed up field. Properly executed, it is a thing of...
  19. Leonard's Losers...

    Furman and Jesse would grin and kid "Coach" Harry Mehre. He coached at UGA sometime in the 1930s. My dad and I thought it was funny that he played at Notre Dame during the time of the Four Horsemen but coached at Mississippi and UGA. He almost always picked Tech to win and would inevitably go...
  20. Tennessee Game 1

    I watched the UT and USCe game on you tube as well as the Vanderbilt game. I was impressed with their speed and athleticism. Injuries absolutely destroyed that defense by the time of the South Carolina game and it was pretty much downhill after that. I was not impressed with their...
