  1. Ted Roof earns redemption!

    Redemption? They certainly played much better. Faster, more decisive and with emotion. Backs against the wall etc. Virginia Tech had one of those days when little went right and that is tempting fate against a team that can hold the ball like GT. Seems like the TOP was nearly two to one...
  2. VT Predictions

    Pretty much spot on. He has begun to exhibit a troubling pattern of behavior that he has to address. He has to come to grips with it. No one can do it for him. I have taught high school for 30 years and believe me, I know the signs. My prayer is that a he will assume a more...
  3. VT Predictions

    What he did was pretty stupid. Whether it approached "idiot" status I will leave to those knowing the exact circumstances. At this point, the young man has his priorities all wrong.
  4. VT Predictions

    It will not even be close. Hokies by a bunch. Hope I eat crow on this prediction but I sense a team going in the wrong direction. We will see.
  5. Anyone else?

    Nope, but both recruiting and coaching needs to be addressed on the defense. Personally, I am somewhat encouraged by the improvement of the offensive line overall though certain individuals need to man up and get with the program there as well. My personal opinion is that there is some "dead...
  6. UNC Postgame

    The "Leaky Roof" gave up well over 600 yards and 48 points. That will get any team beat opportunities on offense not withstanding. Good Lord, they gave up 250 yards in the first quarter alone. Worst performance by a Tech defense in a while. The effort was NOT there. This is what happens...
  7. 4 and 1 against Duke

    Man, that Lynch is a ball player. Not the biggest or the fastest, he just has a way of getting open. You take your eyes off him for a second as a linebacker, he will be by you in a New York second and generally he is WIDE open.
  8. UNC Predictions

    Us a bunch. Them a bunch more. We ded. Maybe. I really don't know. Just about anything could happen including both teams discovering the inherent joys of making tackles, pressuring the quarterback, covering receivers, you know, playing defense.
  9. UNC Predictions

    Boy, back in the day UNC had some linebackers that would lay the wood. In the game you are talking about, the other one Sturdivent (spelling?) made a big hit on JN. Lord have mercy! I didn't think he was going to make it to the fourth quarter.
  10. You guys know we won the game today, right?

    The problem is, who to put on him? He is fast and his acceleration coming out of his cuts is ridiculous. Can we cover him? Can we get pressure on the QB and stop the running game? Will the "eye candy" cute stuff mess with our focus and assignments? I don't think we can win a shoot out...
  11. You guys know we won the game today, right?

    Any win, no matter how, is a good thing. It was a good day all around beating Duke is always good especially since they are coached by Cutliff. UGA losing was the cherry on top. The OP did see the game I presume? It was not the best example of winning football hence Coach Johnson appearing...
  12. Duke Postgame

    Gray might, depending upon which "any good defense" you mean. PJ might and that is about it. So yes, we have a talent problem but Roof's critics have a point. We should be masking deficiencies better with smoke and mirrors and blitzing. Having a mediocre D line is one thing...
  13. Duke Predictions

    That is what I would do if I was Duke. There is the nagging suspicion that JT is getting more confident in finding his receivers. He was drilling the ball the last time out. Let them bring the 8 man front and all the other gimmicks, burn their *** with passes then knock them down running the...
  14. GT (-8.5) vs. Duke

    When I lived in North Carolina I saw a bumper sticker on a car that read: "OHHOWIHATEOHIOSTATE" Michigan tag of course. Carolina fans had one that was all the rage then: "Duke is puke, Wake is fake But the team I hate is NC STATE"
  15. Rewatch

    Thank you Boomer for a typically informative and insightful review. I do hope you realize that some of us, like me, anticipate your reviews for both offense and defense with great anticipation. You have the gift for seeing and explaining things in a way that less knowledgeable fans can...
  16. GT FANS

    He probably yelled "Hey you kids, get off my lawn" to some of the fraternities. No fool like an old fool. This from someone pushing 62.
  17. What is the best scheme for a Tech defense?

    I As usual, the Boomer is the voice of reason. A veritable rock of sanity in a sea of chaos. The problem is we do not have the athletes to do the press coverage scheme that so many, including me, want. I want to blitz like crazy too but the lack of speed and experience in the secondary...
  18. Clinton Lynch Next Level?

    Nope, sorry don't see it that way. I don't think any of them at the PRESENT time project to the NFL. Just me, others may differ. That is not to say most of them are very good players in OUR system because they are. All of them need to improve but that can be said about a lot of college...
  19. A little from last night's radio show

    I would rather have Mills than anyone except Dwyer, Ant, and Days. He does not have Dwyer's top end speed but he very much reminds me of Ant. Tough, hard runner who is durable. He fits the mold of a Bback just about perfectly. He is also a willing blocker. Mills is just a very fine football...
