Yep! Outstanding player.

You probably should be but nothing new there. Concerns about defense in general and defensive lines in particular have been a constant of the Johnson era. In large measure, I don't think it can be corrected any time soon but we will see. Spring means hope eternal even for the Vanderbilts of...

No offense to the lines of that era but there simply is not any comparison to what we have today. They are bigger, faster, and stronger across the front. Remember, we started converted tight ends, undersized tackles etc. It is a tribute to those players' work ethic, determination, and drive...

Tech led virtually the whole game. This was not the Ole Miss team I saw a couple of times earlier this year. They were pretty cold from behind the arc. They took 28 three point shots and hit, what? 6 of them? Combined with about 8 blocks and Christ alone knows how many steals that is not...

Yep, forgot about Coach Yeomans. About 1968 or so.

Yes, but is it an outside veer or inside veer? Emory Ballard, God bless his soul, would be impressed.

Count me as IMPRESSED by Jalen Camp's new school record. Or should it be "Mr. Camp"? In any case, getting bigger, stronger, faster is the only way for a football player to go. Good job men!

I know it is not that big a deal but our offense is best described as a triple option offense for the general public. Coach Johnson knows, we know, the players know that it is really just one play in our playbook but for the public at large they naturally associate triple option with Georgia...

Yes, this would work also. They will bring a lot of fans.

Yep My daughter went to graduate school at USCe said that she could see and hear Williams Brice Stadium from her apartment and the entire city became a giant party. She HATED it! Funny thing is that I took her to her first Tech game about the same time and we had a blast. She loved the...

I would prefer we schedule someone we can beat and will bring fans to Grant Field.

Think about this: In a period covering more than a half century Tech had only THREE head coaches: Heisman, Alexander, and Dodd. Truly extraordinary. I think all of them are in the Hall of Fame and deservedly so.

I read an autobiography by Bear Bryant. He stated that after about 1961 he had made a lot of progress in making Alabama a powerhouse but then he would look across the field and see "...that damned Dodd" Someone mentioned Jerry Stovall. He ran a kickoff back for a touchdown to beat Tech...

Well, I don't know that I would qualify as a "Doddophile". I do know that comparing players and coaches from different eras is mostly a fool's errand. Dodd was among the very best coaches from his era. He was an excellent recruiter when not hamstrung by academic requirements and was an...

Understandable. The General was Dodd's coach when he was an All American quarterback at Tennessee and was an enormous influence on Dodd and the way he approached the game. In a book, Dodd listed several of his most important victories, one being, of course, the huge upset of #1 Alabama in...

This pretty much sums up the inherent difficulties of coaching at Georgia Tech. You can add less than stellar support from "The Hill" and an alumni base spread out all over God's Creation and no the unnamed assistant really would not want a "crack at it". OTOH it is understandable that some...

This is intriguing to say the least. I was not aware that MJ had earned so much confidence in Coach Johnson who is forever typecast as the ultimate skeptic and cynic. Kind of like Bear Bryant. Once a player intent upon impressing the Bear made a huge hit in practice and jumped up saying...

Ones we can beat which would probably exclude most of those teams. For the love of God, is it not enough to play the likes of UGA, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami, UNC, and Christ alone who knows what with kick off classics, bowls and the like? When you throw in Pitt and Duke you have at...

Well, you see its like this as my late father (class of 1950 Textile Engineering) once explained to me: "I wouldn't root for Georgia with one engine out on the team plane" Harsh but he had me and my sisters stand at attention when Ramblin Wreck was played much to my mother's embarrassment.

Pretty much spot on. Get a split on UGA and Clemson and you have done a good job. Even before the Tigers won their second national championship beating Clemson has always been a big deal for us (and truth be told for them too) No offense to Miami and Virginia Tech because the road to the...
