    We have to sellout the Miami game

    My brother-in-law is is driving over from Jacksonville, and going to game with me instead of my wife. I'm taking him the the College Football Hall of Fame in Saturday morning; then after lunch, we'll head to the campus late afternoon to show him the sites and sounds, including the GA Tech...

    Separating Contenders from Pretenders

    Ask Ohio State how "inept" VA Tech's offense is...and that was AT THEIR HOUSE.

    Separating Contenders from Pretenders

    Georgia Tech is another intriguing case for me. The Yellow Jackets barely snuck past Georgia Southern at home before traveling to Blacksburg the next week and topping Virginia Tech. The last time Paul Johnson's team started this hot was 2011, but that Georgia Tech squad turned a 6-0 start into...

    ACC Playoff Watch

    Georgia Tech was largely overlooked in the much-debated Coastal, but the Yellow Jackets have routinely staved off disaster and, after a come-from-behind win against Virginia Tech on Saturday, stand at 4-0 and in control of their own destiny. Tech’s next two games are against Miami and Duke, and...

    East Carolina gets its "smack-talk" billboard on

    When you're East Carolina (or, just as likely, one of its boosters) and you've just hung a 70-spot on the preseason consensus best-ACC-team-in-the-state, yeah, you're allowed to do some...

    Johnson praises team during open week

    ATLANTA — When your team is 4-0, the self-deprecating jokes come a little easier. Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson spoke Monday at the Touchdown Club of Atlanta’s weekly luncheon in Buckhead and brought with him an anecdote from the Yellow Jackets’ 27-24 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday...

    JT - The Leader

    There are a handful of players that you stop everything you're doing when they have the ball in their hands because you know something special can happen at any moment; players like Barry Sanders. I get that same feeling when I see Justin with the football.

    Crunch Time!

    If you watched Miami play against Nebraska, you would have seen them revert back to their "thug" mentality; physical alterations, late hits, etc. I fully expect they'll come into Grant Field thinking they will be able to bully their way through us like they've done in the past; hopefully, we'll...

    2014 Who's Hot ... Week 4

    Stockpile more shares in … Georgia Tech QB Justin Thomas Maybe the unexpected transfer of QB Vad Lee to James Madison was the best thing to happen to the Yellow Jackets. Thomas is thriving as the new leader of Paul Johnson’s option, both as a runner and a passer. He leads the team with 443...

    Johnson likes where Jackets are at

    Paul Johnson has his Georgia Tech football team right where he wants it. Working its way through a schedule that has become progressively more difficult, Georgia Tech is 4-0 for just the fourth time in 44 years. After close wins over Georgia Southern and Virginia Tech, the Yellow Jackets are...

    no no huddle?

    The thing I was hoping for more than the no huddle was the change of snap count several times (hopefully WE didn't get burned so we would go on first sound before the A-Back went into motion, or we waited until he was past the normal spot and allow him to counter back, QB follow, or swing pass...

    Updated predictions for the season

    If you're that "impressed" with Duke's stats, let me help put them into perspective: From USA Today: "It wasn't the most impressive run through nonconference play — Kansas, Troy, Tulane and Elon — but Duke will head into Atlantic Coast Conference play unblemished. The Blue Devils' 4-0 start is...

    I gave up..

    Like Bluto, from Animal House once said, "What? Over? Did you say over? It's not over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Paerl Harbor"?

    VT's Defense

    THIS. If we would have hit some of those open passes earlier, like the one to Waller for the TD, it would have forced the Hokie defense to start respecting the pass more early, which would have opened up our running game more, which, in turn, would have drawn them back in for our passing...

    "Block below the waist" on the Thomas Run

    It was a bad call. Hill's block wasn't BELOW the waist when it was initiated (nor was it in the back), it was on, or just above, the waist. Anyone knows that when a blocker engages someone in said block, they can: 1) lose their own "traction" or position they may begin to fall, which will...

    What would your VT game plan be?

    I used to laugh when some of our offensive linemen would take their mouthpieces and use something to blackout areas to give the impression they were missing teeth, and then grin across the line of scrimmage just before the ball was snapped; kind of a "toothless grin" through the facemask so to...

    Back Seven on Defense

    Nobody on the defense played well yesterday, starting on the defensive line, moving through the linebackers, working around the cornerbacks, and ending with the safties. And I'll add that our special teams were also totally outplayed yesterday by GA Southern. We never returned punts or...

    Crowd Noise

    I have season tickets behind the GA Tech bench and will tell you that we were littered with GA Southern fans who were making a TON more noise than GA Tech fans, and I'm SURE that's what he was referring to. I was embarrassed as an alum, and letter winner from the football program, that our...
