I live in the Triangle. It is not Silicone Valley, but close, and I imagine Georgia Tech has more grads around than Virginia. But it is just anecdotal from when I wear a Tech cap or sweats.

Speaking of blood sucking defense contractors, does anybody think Johnson shows up for the Army-Navy game Saturday? I hope he does, with one school and two head coaches linked directly to him, and I gather the work toward Tech's bowl game is pretty slow still. I would personally like to see...

no matter who it is I'm with him, win or tie. But I would like to see what Elliott could have done adapting Clemson's short game, RPO, to Tech's current personnel. Because Clemson knows there is some talent there. Maybe Graham is the immediate answer for the new guy. I don't know anything about...

Ohio State's defense would keep Oklahoma's offense in the 30s? Which quarter?

We'll get to find out Saturday.

I would guess based on previous discussions about this that the big change, other than QB, will be in the offensive line requirements: pass blocking interior line vs. run blocking, size, longer arms, etc. But I think the new guy will have some players to work with and -- again with the QB --...

If MSU is a template he will be out there the day it is announced. Poor guy keeps coaching bowl teams to whose bowl he goes not. The question that lingers with me, given the long difficulties Johnson had recruiting QBs for his system, do we have anybody now that could play the zone read or RPO...

I got it! Right in front of us. Bobby Pitrino. Pass it on.

There are several flip sides to that. A lot of people can't go to a game. TV is their access. TV has, I think, immeasurably added to the popularity of the game and doubtless brought lots of money to the schools. All in all I will take TV over no or limited TV.

If it is Collins, then we get the bonus of an extra bowl game this month, and of all things, Temple against Duke on Dec. 27 Independence Bowl. (I would argue Detroit is better than Shreveport, by the way.) I have looked at some of their videos on YouTube but they are generally highlights of...

Well, it' not in Toledo.

would that be the general, Leonard Wood?

In my son's history class a student from some little SC town rose to tell him that not only did it now have a Waffle House, but on the first night open there was a shooting. No, he was told, "a Huddle House would have a shooting. For the Waffle House, it is a christening."

Yesterday we got hit with Jeffrey Chaucer and now it's rock music video and lyrics, geography lessons and Detroit history and restaurant lessons. The board has become too erudite for the likes of us.

I will pass that on to my Tech grad friend. Only one in my school smart enough to go there and first time I saw him on break a year later he had a twitch in his left eye that scared the bejesus out of me. He got over none the worse for wear and remains my oldest best friend because he is the...

Oh, great. Now he can't spell his last name either.

So now GT is gonna get a coach who can't spell "Jeff"?

I would, but not for that reason only. (I mean, we should let out minds careen, but Tech providing Saban what he needs to win? I am not that wild.) As lawyers say, I will stipulate Alabama wins. And wins. And wins. No argument from me. They win. It is also the most controlled, mind-numbing...

And some people on here act like Army should be playing Alabama Clemson, Notre Dame and Georgia.

A hiring lesson given me when I thought I knew everything about hiring: You need to learn the difference between 10 years of experience and one year of experience 10 times. We're always better off to get a guy on the upper slope than at the summit, because it is down from there. Find a good one...
