I am just glad that Tech fans hate on our current QB a lot less than they hated on our last one. It was irrational and unjust then and would be now. Vad has looked like he is playing hard and trying to improve daily. I see no reason to compare him to any irrational fan projections of what he...

The penalties have to get a lot of the blame. I can't remember a game with 4 false starts and they had twice that number. Plus 2 turnovers with 0 takeaways.

Sometimes ATL1 says interesting things or makes decent comments so I have not blocked him myself. But he also has a penchant for blasting off exaggerated opinions which can derail discussions (hence be troll-like as above). I agree with you Tempest in that CPJ's criticisms have not focused...

Guys, read over the course of this thread so far and then reflect upon how it has gone and do yourselves a favor . . . ignore ATL1 when he makes asinine comments like he has here. Whether he intends to be or not his comments above are in effect just worthless trolling. Don't give him the power...

True, the NCAA has a terrible rep for good reason. On the academic tricks schools play, UNC is a good case that was made pretty public. Here is the basic scenario, athletes are allowed (reasonably b/c of practice scheduling) to register first among students. They are told which, or at least...

"what has Lane Kiffin done as a head coach to keep getting chances?" Not to actually end up defending Kiffin at all . . . but my recollection is that when he was coach at Oakland he tried to tell them they needed to draft Calvin number one but was overruled by Al Davis and they took Jamarcus...

I don't really care what system coaches run, they are judged by wins and losses. The point is the school by and large determines what kind of athletes get recruited. Also, Saban plays the overcommitment game to its most extreme degree, he can practice year round (again the players do not...

This confirmed what I saw in the stands. The insane penalties were daggers. The passing game was inept anyway and so clearly not the answer (as the typical option hating fan always believes) and the play called on the 4th down was the same as had just failed to work, hence not the best play to...

Is the original poster serious? This has to be a troll.

Of course not. You do not have to go to real classes at Bama, that means kids who barely learned to read can still go there. And the top athletes as a group have more academic lightweights among them.

I didn't realize he played defense in high school. I wouldn't have thought that given his height. So I have to keep that in mind and cut him slack as he is transitioning into WR.

CPJ explained on the radio show that "we aren't really good yet at the option" or words like that means everyone on the offense. I am not sure why that is taken as "Vad is not really good at the option." He is a big part of it but still just one part.

Myself plus one.

He would have to demonstrate to the pro scouts that he is fully healed and confident in his knee and would have to test very well. I can't remember but the combine is scheduled in such a way that a potential draftee has to irreversibly declared for the draft to participate right? So he would...

John, I suspect they may not even happen if we hadn't been winning. In fact, for Gaudin's sake it is probably best that the team has started well because it could be brutal to break in as a new announcer and have to work closely with CPJ if he was losing games left and right. I was worried...

AE, that is right and all well and good. I think Tech fans generally like that about him and I do as well. But if a reporter asks for the 100th time a question the reporter is not necessarily a fool for that reason. They are always trying to trigger the person they interview to say something...

I am not personally bothered by CPJ's persona as it comes across when he is talking to the media. I am just giving my thoughts in a descriptive manner on why that persona can be seen as not his "real" one. I remember the Navy beat reporter who has a radio show now spoke to this before...

I think the fake CPJ personality that many get via the media is a product of two things: 1) his gameday intensity on the sidelines and fiery competitiveness; and 2) the fact that he is not really very good at speaking past the reporter/questioner to the real audience. What I mean by that is...

Thanks for the find TechCubed.

Bobinski said that the AA's would have an autograph signing session Thursday before the game but I have not found out the info on that. Has anyone heard if that is really happening and when and where? I will be down there very early for the Jacket Walk and anything else I can take in but...
