  1. 23 wins

    An interesting question. To me, the road to a good/great season lies with the mythical "Big 5" UGA, Clemson, Miami, Virginia Tech, and UNC. Win 3 of those and you can pretty much take it to the bank it will be a good year. Win 4 or 5 and it is 2014 all over again. Beat UGA and lose...
  2. Can Georgia Tech win a National Championship with CPJ?

    Under the current conditions, Bear Bryant in his prime could not win a national championship here.
  3. Can Georgia Tech win a National Championship with CPJ?

    I voted "NO" for the exact same reason (the caveat that is) the current recruiting and cultural environment just about shuts out any team but the factories and even a few of them. I do not belive the current administration is willing to make the sacrifices it would take to increase...
  4. all the games on youtube

    Bob, thank you for allowing us to view these games. I have only one question. Do you have, you know, like a life? Just asking.
  5. This is what I'm talking about!!

    Understood and acknowledged. He would get kind of defensive about the cheating (he has a very strong sense of justice ) and yes the Greeks were among the worst offenders. I would gently remind him that as I taught him in Sunday school, not everyone was as gifted in some areas as he is and...
  6. This is what I'm talking about!!

    Beats me. I did not go to Tech. I was just repeating his experiences, which by the way, were within the last two years. He is not the sort to make stuff up. I do know that as a TA he was adamant about the cheating that went on among some students.
  7. This is what I'm talking about!!

    This is definitely second hand and not in any scientific, a young man in our church spent approximately 5 years at Tech. He graduated with a BS in computer science in 3 years after taking classes at our local community college. He spent a couple of years getting his master's and was a TA...
  8. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    Not saying you might be right but be careful of what you wish for. This is the exact approach that Florida chose with Ron Zook who replaced the Head Ball Coach himself. Zook was a former defensive coordinator who was a great recruiter. He was quite the show on the after game Florida radio...
  9. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    An interesting take and I, for one, appreciate your desire to make Tech the "best program it can be" I happen to disagree that running the hurry up offenses out of the spread that is currently in vogue would be the best for Tech. One point you made that I and others have not considered is the...
  10. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    You are correct in your opinion that other offenses can win at Tech. However, the current academic climate goes back to (more or less) the infamous Flunkgate and the Hill has been shall we say less than supportive of our football program. Until more support, financial and otherwise is...
  11. Conference reputation?

    It is true that the ACC football experience is on the whole different from the usual madness that is the SEC. But the ACC can be a very difficult place to play. When FSU first joined the ACC back in the early 90s I believe it was, a reporter did a story from the player's perception of what it...
  12. Conference reputation?

    This fellow makes me ashamed to have been born and bred in Georgia. A really good example of the lower end of the bell curve.
  13. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    Well, ok, IF we remove recruiting restrictions. Bear Bryant changed from the pro set to the wishbone in the late 1960s. I saw a TV show where he was asked why he did it. As best as I could interpret from that Arkansas drawl he was impressed by two things: First the quarterback does not...
  14. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    You are correct. In many ways it is very different from the "vanilla wishbone" Pepper installed in the 1970s. Coach Johnson has take option principles and developed a truly unique offense. Don't know what to call it either. Flexbone? Triple Option? Option based spread? What ever it...
  15. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    Yep, there is a lot of "inside veer" going on. Too bad George Rogers has used up his eligibility at South Carolina. Can you imagine him at Aback? Scary! The veer was supposedly the brain child of Bill Yeomans (spelling?) during the late 60s at Houston and has gone through a number of...
  16. Life after Paul Johnson.... hypothetical question

    As long as the current recruiting restrictions remain in place, our best "option" (see what I did there? ) is to remain with some form of the triple option/flex bone. After nearly a decade, I think our coaches have finally figured out the nuances of Tech recruiting and we are on the cusp of...
  17. Let the Hype train Begin...

    He was not enrolled in school in spring 2016? That might explain a few things.
  18. Shamire Devine

    We need Shamire and we need more fans like YOU! God bless you and keep you. I will keep Shamire in my prayers and ask that he have a great senior year with the potential for NFL to follow.
  19. Let the Hype train Begin...

    "Doen't know his assignments"? I don't believe it. Lewis is a good player and needs to be on the field. Maybe he couldn't beat PJ and Brant out in the 4-2 set but he always seems to be playing with enthusiasm and emotion. I like him a lot.
  20. Let the Hype train Begin...

    Hey SOWEGA are you in Albany? Agree with your assessment by the way. Our margin of error is razor thin and has been for decades. The only way to mitigate this to a certain extent is to redshirt and focus on player development. It is absolutely critical to our future success. UGA...
