Oh yeah one more thing on our definitely special young QB. Thomas has said how when he makes a bad read and gives the ball to Laskey that Laskey still makes a good play out of it. We can see that Thomas is starting to use the size of Waller and Smelter effectively in some of these throws he is...

I have not made many comments yet about Thomas. I theoretically share your excitement and optimism about him but here is my thing. He has started 3 games. When I watched the tv broadcast of that game the color guy even tried to throe out Joe Hamilton's name there for Wes Durham. But then Joe...

Also, there is not nearly the disconnect between Alumni and sidewalk fans in the Tech fanbase as there is in the UGA fanbase. Like @flea77 will let you know, the UGA alums really notice how being the huge flagship state school brings out all sorts of crazies as fans from all over the state...

That is a interesting point and I think there is some truth in it that actually helps argue for patience on getting Shamire up to speed (just to look at one guy we are excited about). Also I like your last point. I have shared the concerns for D-line but each time I get to rewatch a game I end...

Absolutely go. First, there is no secret handshake or diploma check anyway at "Alumni" gatherings. I am not a Tech grad but I went to the Alumni Association game viewings in Gotham all the time (not kidding actually as I lived in Brooklyn for 9 years). I even attended an Alumni Association...

@MWBATL : "I do tire of those who complain about the realities of life....." Your post makes a ton of sense and I definitely am with you on this point right here. Btw, I love this thread because I have record amounts of "ignored content." It reads very amusingly to see the nice responses...

I think the BB position has suffered from Jonathan Dwyer syndrome ever since he left. I was probably overreacting to your post some but honestly I more or less just got carried away wanting a place to put up my post showing Laskey some love. I was very impressed with his tenacity and thankful...

One thing on the student section though is that everyone there packs in closer together like sardines. They really bunch up a lot and so I would think that throws off the perception of how filled in it gets. I am not saying it explains all of it but if you have a section that sits 50 but they...

Like all coaches eventually too many losses with the right combination of losses will get you fired. It is the bottom line in the business. I tend to think that sort of thing takes care of itself and that the fan of the program (I am definitely talking about college here) shouldn't have too...

I love that Laskey values the ball. I love that he has fantastic balance and so never goes down at first contact. I love how often he forces the Ref to whistle a play dead because he has 3-4 guys pushing him back but they never got him on the ground. I love that he always falls forward to get an...

I actually like this idea of trading off or at least lessening the frequency of games against UGA by increasing games with GSU. I am not saying I want to see it happen, I am undecided. But I do think it is an intriguing thought. I am getting pretty worn out about the GT-UGA game always...

I do think there is some middle ground. In the post-game locker room interview after Tulane CPJ gave himself serious grief over calling the pass play where Thomas threw the interception. I do think since coach can sometimes, even if very infrequently, regret a specific play call then it is...

And yet . . . opposing teams offenses in the ACC routinely mention Bobby Dodd as one of the loudest places they have to play.

Channeling Kam Chancellor?

And here is why that claim is really really dead wrong . . . how the hell did the officials ever call it a forward pass to begin with????? Follow me here. The officials have watched both these teams running option offenses all day long and KNOW that the intention is always to lateral the ball...

That's some Clean Old-Fashioned Hate right there.

Yeah I saw this spin move real well in the North Endzone. JT had another fantastic move in the backfield earlier in the game as well I believe but I have to go back and re-watch to locate it. Fantastic catch by Hill though. I was calling it a facemask in the stands as well though I don't know...

I am mostly with you. I have no problem at all with a tough running offense. Period. Therefore, I love how the passing game is built on the back of running the ball. So I hate possessions that don't seem to my eyes to do that very thing. As for the first possession of the 2nd half, however...

Nope. :)

Rodwell, that is a good one. Being asked to make so many more punts than usual and they were almost all very solid ones, too bad the defense squandered them.
