Schools don't "have a bagman". There are networks of "bagmen" created out of certain kinds of devoted fans who are willing to actually do "it." It being pursue high school athletes and their families to find ways to bribe them to influence their college decision. If a school has a lot of...

This is not a workable solution because alumni and fans are still going to be there rooting for their schools team. It has nothing to do with the money the sport generates in t.v. and such which is then used in part to pay for scholarships. Pay attention to where the problem lies: 1) fans of a...

Brian Johnson, just ask around enough and you can learn for example how a certain Tech QB from a previous era or many basketball players would have the use of very fancy vehicles. So then there is our legit hero Calvin Johnson. Now maybe we know why he was ranked relatively low and not a...

Watch the video interview here as well. Couple points of interests from it: 1) At 24:35 Godfrey says that every archetype of the SEC schools and their culture of bagmen applies to a school like Florida State, like Clemson and then says “Maybe a couple of years ago it applied to Georgia Tech...

Renner out with a foot injury. Man, speculation runs away with some, don't it?

That seems pretty reasonable. Play like you practice seems big with him.

I rarely make any predictions, and won't now. But I have to say that our schedule is a pretty darn tough one and I am nervous about results. I mean Miami, BYU and Clemson on the road is brutal. UGA of course. I really do not see many easy games at all regardless of our talent level. The...

KC, now that is the way to run with a made-up QB controversy! Ha!

I know I shouldn't be telling fans to take it slow and calm down and whatnot, so oh well. I actually would like to read thoughts on how CPJ called the game and where mistakes were made. From the stands I really only griped over the 4th down play call, and that's because I thought it was the...

No one has dealt with this much or at all since most seemed to expect our offense to simply perform better but . . . the short turnaround may have really impacted the timing and synchronicity of the OL and offense in general. I know I was really concerned that the injuries on the Defense was...

I know as specifically as is needed here, an idiot started the rumor.

JacketTrain, You are really getting yourself worked up into a tizzy this week. CPJ never blamed Vad, you only call it a "hint" so clearly you are exaggerating there. Tech lost a game against a team with a great defense that we repeatedly underperform against (we were clearly the better team...

So the teams in the ACC this year that were in the Tourney last year: Duke, UNC, Pitt, Notre Dame, NC State, Syracuse, Miami. That is a total of seven right there coming off tourney seasons, three in the Elite Eight. The winner Louisville will be added soon as well. Wow! What a tough...

I expect to see improvement. Tough out a few signature wins. I am unconcerned about making any postseason predictions going into a season that adds Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse to the conference. That actually makes it much harder to be a tourney team (how far down in the conference are they...

ATL1, I commend you for now stating your position in a more mild-mannered tone. Venting is all well and good but I prefer to do that to the wall and then after I calm down get into a discussion online. :P

I always look at it this way when assessing or dividing blame in a team sport. The execution is on the players . . . and the loss is on the head coach. Everyone gets love for a win. I keep it simple. The coach will find a way to get the players to execute better and win more games or he...

I am with Dustman. I prefer the simplest explanations given lack of detailed info or expertise. By that I mean if someone can break down film and demonstrate he was "stubborn" in his play calling or "did not try to change blocking" or "did not take advantage of short passes" which were...

There are UGA fans in my own extended family who think UGA has a too harsh drug policy that hamstrings them compared to other SEC teams. You can find fans supporting any kind of position you want to find supported. They are just humans after all.

I don't remember ever seeing evidence that CPJ was anything but fantastic at managing the clock. When we have had late game critical situations that broke down it was by not getting first downs not because he failed to manage the clock well. So I could see criticizing his play-calling just...

AE 87, seriously don't feed his trolling. Do you actually expect to carry a rational conversation with a bigot? His antipathy for CPJ and his offense (like anyone's antipathy can become) has hardened into irrational prejudice. It is the same as any other kind of prejudice. He has...
