Todd understands the whole "Tech Experience" which means he gets the positives and negatives of being the head coach at Georgia Tech in any sport. I pray that he will build on this goodwill to seek much needed additional resources in coaching, recruiting and player development so that we can...

I have wasted the holidays watching parts of about 4 different Kentucky games. They are an interesting team. They run the typical spread but with the twist of actually mixing in much more "wildcat" formations than most teams. They have a bruiser in the cat formation who is a true freshman...

Yes you are a UGA graduate. That makes a lot of difference compared to some of the "UGA fans" I have seen.

Flea, don't you understand that MB is part of the "elite"? The "best and the brightest"? I mean, have a little respect, after all he is a card carrying member of the Fourth Estate. He deserves more acclaim than "kinda of a ****" he has "always been a ****" There fixed it for you. No...

That is true JD says "hello" but how how many of JDs are we going to find? He was special and MM was special in his own way. I am concerned about Mills getting in trouble again but we will see. Maybe being the Man will mature him a little. Mills is not JD but has an opportunity to be just...

You have allayed my fears...somewhat. But I and we may be haunted by thoughts of "what might have been" when watching replays of that fourth quarter run when he just refused to go down and broke at least three tackles. He was not the ideal size but certainly big enough and had that burst of...

Does Marcus, or anyone else for that matter REALLY want to take the hits that a Bback must endure play after play? This is a position that screams for shared responsibility. It is not the traditional I formation tailback. There are two positions that must have superior depth in our...

Thank you, that makes sense.

Does anyone know why Pitt had 12? That seems rather high. Were any of Miami's transfers good players? There seems to be a lot of this going around.

There are two ways of looking at this if you are Chubb. One is that this year is a deep year for running backs and he has probably been told he is out of the first or second round. The other is that I don't really think he is 100%. In his case, it is probably a good idea to come back...

JD will always be the measuring stick of what a Bback is about. Fine combination of size, power, speed, and exceptional cutting ability. What I always marveled about him was how he would make one cut beyond the line of scrimmage and then hit another gear to take it to the house. Really good...

Gee, I wish I could break down a complex situation like this one into three easily understood paragraphs that pretty much explain the problem and why people are thinking the way they do. I had no idea that UVA was in such bad shape. It sounds like "Hokie Mania" is widespread and they have...

Good gracious Glenn! I knew,even then, that things were bad but I had no idea. How did the coaches manage to convince anyone to come to Tech? I was at another college in those days and would come home to Atlanta and go to every single home game. My mother and dad had season tickets in the...

Yes, there was a lot of that also. Pepper had the misfortune of being on the cusp of an extremely poor time for Tech athletics for the reasons you mentioned. Whatever problems the Institute faces now in athletics pale in comparison to the mess that was going on during the late 70s and early...

Glenn: I never heard that story before. I am really surprised that Dan Devine would invite Pepper to a party. Am I surprised at what Pepper did? Not so much. Was this the Rudy Game?

Yep, there was quality to be sure especially at running back, but the drop off was tremendous. He did have a way of relating to the athletes of that era I will give him that. With Pepper, it was generally either a home run or a strike out in recruiting. That list of names brings back...

Yes, except that Pepper originally was an all state quarterback at Brown High School in Atlanta. This was the same school that several years later produced the "young left hander" Kim King. Your point is valid, Pepper was definitely a west coast, laid back kind of guy. He probably was humming...

Nah, he was a creature of his times. A genius in some ways with offense not so much in other things that a head coach must do. He was an assistant coach at Florida with Ray Graves when the Gators beat Tech in 1961 or 1962 with a rotating quarterback combo of Bobby Dodd Jr. and a diminutive...

Well, since you asked. There was the spectacle of him leading his teams at Kansas on the field by doing cartwheels. One time playing against Dan Devine''s Missouri team, Coach Devine's Tigers were up several touchdowns and called timeout with just seconds to go to run the score up on the...
