  1. Specific questions about CPJ backing

    Some on the board are not troglodytes who think women should look nice and shut up. Obviously the women who participate in those sports care about them, as do their families and friends. They don't draw football crowds, but they are important regardless. By that token we could eliminate men's...

    Ouch.
  3. Spread on Clemson Game

    Even an optimist has to see hard times ahead, but I still have hope. Johnson's teams have some history of playing well late, including a historic run through November in 2014, when we beat Pitt, Va., NC State, Clemson and Georgia to close out the season before losing the ACC title to FSU by two...
  4. The Head Coach Hated Me

    It may look it, and it may well be true, though not accurate. But it is an option. Give or keep and move down the line to option #2. Sometimes QBs get fooled by the optioned lineman. Sometimes they make a bad read. Sometimes that lineman just makes a great play. Sometimes it is Johnson getting a...
  5. The Head Coach Hated Me

    He can be stubborn about running the damn ball all the time. He is what Woody Hayes would have been had they put air in the ball back in the day.
  6. Spread on Clemson Game

    I would like to see an accounting of how many of his players Swinney got into the game. He was subbing heavy even in the first quarter, apparently trying to mix some of his freshmen and No. twos in with the starters. I just know a bunch played. And if they play as badly Saturday as they did in...

    As regards to what?
  8. Spread on Clemson Game

    Well, if there is an defensive advantage it is that Lawrence cannot run the ball. 6-6 is just a lot of length to get into motion. And his throwing motion is still HS, slung from shoulder and head level and not thrown over the top to take advantage of that 6-6. Better take advantage of it now...
  9. Spread on Clemson Game

    He is not one to run it up regardless of the pollsters. The problem might be that his two and three-deeps are very talented players. (Two of his QBs transferred and he is still three deep there.) So he will sub both to keep from piling on and to protect his starters for next week.
  10. Spread on Clemson Game

    We can beat the spread because we have done it before when least expected. We won't, I am afraid, because we have no option game, can't throw the ball, and that Clemson defensive front is nobody to mess around with. Chunk out their first two play-everybody-on-the-roster-for-experience games...
  11. The Head Coach Hated Me

    Everything -- even given exaggeration for effect -- except the one possible: the guy is right. Because sometimes he or she just is, and we have all had that one, too. Sometimes when they say the boss hates me, they are right. The boss, well not exactly hates, but really dislikes them. And...

    You beat the point of no return, in fact.
  13. Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    Unless you mean "he can spend it as he damn well pleases", then no, one can't figure out a slip sliding sidestep. Even an engineer, because that is an equation where "x" actually doesn't represent anything. It's just x.
  14. Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    This thread is pretty funny and just the ticket to ease Saturday's pain. Kind of a text takeoff on Carnac the Magnificent and making about as much sense.
  15. Biggest factor in outcome of GT vs Pitt (poll)

    Didn't they fumble like five straight possessions against us?
  16. Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    Don't know much about Ferentz except they outsized us and outran us in a bowl game, but I'll take your word for it. You could add Swinney of Clemson to the list for some of the same reasons. An AD backed him in an early down period and he hasn't looked back with that program since. The fans...
  17. Biggest factor in outcome of GT vs Pitt (poll)

    I need to talk with you about your excessive pessimism.
  18. New Helmets for Pitt

    If a picture is supposed to tell a story, the helmet picture is a picture of ... somebody's helmet somewhere.
  19. CPJ Coaches show

    Now, does anyone actually believe that Johnson actually meant that a player didn't care if he fumbled? That he didn't "care enough not to fumble"? I mean, really. It's like a guy accused of burning down an outhouse and his inquisitor claims he used a flamethrower, railroad flare and napalm, and...
  20. CPJ Coaches show

    I can ignore the funeral as a given. But this story of an autistic kid and Georgia Tech football is remarkable. Maybe more than, but it's the best word I know for it.
