  1. Good post re Tech offense by UM blogger

    I'm an old man and I can't run it. But girls and beer would solve your appeal plea.
  2. Good post re Tech offense by UM blogger

    If you want the throw-the-ball crowd out in force, Monken makes Johnson look like Don Coryell on steroids.
  3. Good post re Tech offense by UM blogger

    That's a good piece that lends some insight into the complexities of the offense and why it might be so hard to find QBs for it. He notes hat historic Navy drive against New Mexico, but note that just Saturday Army opened the game against Air Force with a 13 minute, 21-play, 75 yard drive to...
  4. Paul Johnson time frame.

    I am too lazy for the research so a SWAG will have to do. My guesstimate is that approximately 7,000 names have been put forward as candidates for a GT coaching job that does not exist.
  5. Six Day Hold for Miami Game - 7pm Kick

    Odd that in an election year we find at least one person who doesn't seem to have a firm opinion on anything.
  6. That was a horrible broadcast

    If you thought that was bad you shudda heard the UNC radio broadcast. I was out of the house and picked up about half a quarter of drivel in which plays were run and over and as an afterthought an announcer noted he gained "several yards". Social media has wrecked more than newspapers.
  7. Tech or Kentucky?

    This explains the Georgia Tech fan base.
  8. No one out for VT, TM will start

    Well, now. You are the one who used Alabama as your example for news suppression, thus the standard. As for the last part, wow. Communications protocols? GTAA property? You are still conflating a reporter's duties and your own anger that he by golly did not do what Johnson told him by golly...
  9. No one out for VT, TM will start

    Please don't tell me that Alabama is now your standard. The point remains unchanged: it ain't Johnson's job to tell a reporter what to report and when to report it. I am pretty sure they work for two different concerns with two different responsibilities. And if a reporter is so bad that he...
  10. No one out for VT, TM will start

    You don't get it. That is his job and he can't allow a news subject to tell him how to do it. Johnson knows that no matter how much he might fulminate. It is his job.
  11. Three dumb questions

    Teams that are athletically superior to us -- Clemson being the best example -- and teams with outstanding middle LBs -- ND and formerly VT come to mind -- defend this offense well. Don't try to explain Duke to me. But keep in mind this right now is no longer Johnson's spread option. It is his...
  12. How Many Yards Will Georgia Tech Run For Against North Carolina?

    So did VT as does everybody. We won't get 500 yards though I would like it. People forget our stumbling jitters when we play UNC. I will settle for a win. Just a win.
  13. Three dumb questions

    QB keep and Foster said Tech put it in new.
  14. No one out for VT, TM will start

    Okay, now pray tell why should the media be "onboard with helping" any team win? What, your media is an extension of the coach now? God help us. That is bizarre. The media has no team, well, there is the one glaring and blaring exception, and serves its readers or viewers. That is its "team"...
  15. No one out for VT, TM will start

    Quoting a journalist neighbor of mine, one who assumes threatens to make an xxx of u and me. Loses something in cleaning it it for the board but you can get the idea. Don't ever assume anything.
  16. No one out for VT, TM will start

    thus you infer he had inside information. Possible, given that this is the reporter Johnson once insisted had to get his GT stories from him, officially. But more likely inbred skepticism dealing with Johnson.
  17. No one out for VT, TM will start

    And you know this exactly ... how?
  18. Virginia Tech Postgame

    Guess it depends on which Georgia Tech shows up?
  19. Virginia Tech Postgame

    Pretty telling remark when many on the board doubt the toughness of an option offense. But here's a quote from Bud Foster in the Richmond paper, attempting to explain something most of us never quite comprehend. We know it is fast, just no idea how fast. Foster knows. “I don’t even care if you...
  20. No one out for VT, TM will start

    Nor did my original post say he did. The response was to a post suggesting it was perfectly ethical to do so. But I do believe his response was more in the nature of strongly suggesting he would.
