  1. Other football fans are clueless

    This is largely true. Tech's offense is difficult to execute and difficult to defend. Under the current academic restrictions, it is literally the only way we can compete. Unfortunate, but true. If we did what every one else is doing we would be lucky to win 5 games a year. Fans of other...
  2. Got 'em right where we want 'em

    It could be just about anything. My guess: 1. Miami 2. North Carolina 3. Pitt 4. Georgia Tech 5. Virginia Tech 6. Virginia 7. Duke
  3. O-line Question

    Yep. Flea is absolutely correct. There are some things that are like the sign in my old high school locker room: "What you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here" Fans don't need to know everything and most of it is none of our business. Coaches coach, Officials ref, Players play...
  4. The Best of: Linebacker

    Favorite: Multiple choices: Phillip Wheeler, Keith Brooking, K Hall among others Best Play: Darryl Smith's pick six against UGA Best opposing linebacker: Sturdivent and Bruce Smith of UNC, the line backer from the U that was so fast oh yeah, Sean Spence, Denzil Perryman from the U, that...
  5. Crazy wishful things you want to see

    Offense blocking, Defense tackling. Is that "crazy" enough?
  6. The Best of: Running Back

    Yep, he did!
  7. The Best of: Running Back

    That would be ELI, Gary Lanier, Adrian Rucker (not sure, he may have graduated by then) and "BIG" as Ciraldo used to say David Sims. Probably others that I cannot recall. Notre Dame was number one but did not play like one and we were ready for them.
  8. The Best of: Running Back

    Gee, I must have like Tashard a lot to mention him twice! No matter, great player and an inspiration to our team.
  9. The Best of: Running Back

    I think Clint finished third in his freshman year. Lothridge finished runner up to Roger Staubach in 1963 and Joe Ham finished runner up I think also.
  10. The Best of: Running Back

    Man, now you have done it. My mind is going in twenty directions trying to narrow it down. Hmm... Dwyer, Choice, ELI, and Choice Days against Mississippi State to open the second half, or Dwyer doing his thing against UGA either the broken ankle run or the one at the start of the second half...
  11. 2016 Depth Chart.

    Yep, you are correct it was Bruce Carter. That man hit Nesbitt one time near the goal that was probably heard outside Kenan Stadium.
  12. 2016 Depth Chart.

    I was watching the Pitt game and the Virginia game and agree MM is special. That man has more gears than a 16 wheeler with a burst that is, dare I say, Dwyer like. He is somewhat smaller than our B backs in the past but I am not sure that it matters that much. Don't know much about CJ...
  13. The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    True dat! But for what they are getting paid due diligence is to be expected. Tech is probably seen in the coaching fraternity as a very different kind of challenge with unique strengths and weaknesses not usually found in power conferences. Certainly not a graveyard like Vanderbilt, or a...
  14. The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    Jets cooled. I understand that APR just about trumps everything. It is just frustrating that our recruiting is so much determined by "niches" of one sort or another. Coach Johnson alluded to this talking about the proper "fit" his term, that has become an obligatory part of recruiting for...
  15. The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    Love this quote. But I got it beat: "A school without football is in danger of becoming a medieval study hall" Vince Lombardi
  16. The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    Alrighty then,since you want to take the high road, fine. It is commendable that Tech persists in requiring calculus for every student. Idiotic, but commendable. More than 50 years ago, Dodd spoke about this. He would go into a recruits home and there would be a calculus textbook. A Georgia...
  17. The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    STEM or no STEM. Unless recruiting gets better we are doomed to mediocrity. It is what it is. Recruiting is the lifeblood of a college football program and quite frankly our program has not consistently recruited well since the late 90s when O'Leary placed a premium on it. Personally, I...
  18. GT VS MIAMI 2016 preview

    I agree that we have a small chance against Clemson. In 2011, we caught them with their pants down and ran a #5 ranked team almost out of the stadium. That said, back to the original discussion about Ritcht I am of two minds about him. I think he is a very good coach, nice man, telegenic and...
  19. The Best of: Defensive Line

    Favorite defensive lineman: Coleman Rudolph and Marco Coleman with honorable mentions to Rock Perdoni and Greg Gathers and Eric Henderson All great football players Favorite Single DL play: MJ's pick six against Miami Honorable mention the Coleman Rudolph sack against Virginia in 1990...
  20. State of the ACC: Your View

    "Who would have done better? Well, given the aforementioned limitations placed upon our program by the BOR, the Hill, and various assorted evils, probably no one. Nobody knows that offense like he does. The problem as we all know is recruiting. It is difficult in this day and age in a power...
