  1. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    Back in the day at LaGrange College I had to pass a class called "Survey of Mathematics" That counts for calculus amiright? (full disclosure I was a history major)
  2. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    Funny, I have always thought of Clemson as being a wannabe when it comes to factories despite having a seemingly endless reservoir of talent but I never thought of them as being unethical, immoral, or utterly without restraints of any kind like I do UGA, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio State, etc...
  3. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    I might add that the state of Georgia at that time just did not produce a lot of good football players and Tech was a draw throughout the South. Dodd was a great recruiter for the times and could absolutely sell the school, the city, and what Tech offered to parents. The lack of talent in the...
  4. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    Others may differ, but I think Roof and Pelton are fine where they are. Some coaches are just not suited for head coaching jobs and are best as coordinators and assistants. It is just the way things are. Florida thought they were getting the next big thing when they hired Muschamp and it was...
  5. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    Boy howdy, did I get taken to the wood shed by Mr. Red Mule. He is, of course, on the money with some very interesting personal sidelights to boot. I still think that the calculus requirement was intended to stifle any hopes Tech had of competing with UGA and to some extent they have succeeded...
  6. From a fan of 55 years and what i see

    Largely agree. The recruiting odds are stacked against us so much that it is now just about impossible to scheme around it. Which, of course, was the main idea of the (expletive deleted) board of regents from the beginning. Requiring calculus for every major is nothing but a ploy by the BOR...
  7. Realistic expectations for 2016?

    Right now it is just a shade "unrealistic" only due to the weakness of the schedule. The eternal pessimist in me as a Tech fan sees 7-5 as realistic while the optimist in me sees 8-4. It will depend upon the development of the offensive line, and the continued improvement of the defense. The...
  8. Spring Game 2016: What are you looking forward to seeing?

    Well, of course he is ready to lead. His daddy was a leader and Will is destined to be a great football player like his dad was.
  9. How many games to you think the Jackets win in 2016?

    I did not know that. Nonetheless, this is a team that down through the years has been nothing but trouble at times and a near cupcake at other times. They are especially a handful in Durham. We almost never play well there. We play in Atlanta this year, is that right? Looking better all...
  10. How many games to you think the Jackets win in 2016?

    This team will go as far as the defense will take it. Replacing FSU and Notre Dame with Boston College and Vanderbilt is helpful. Georgia Southern has gone from being troublesome to manageable. I think we have a shot at Miami, Pitt, UNC, Virginia and Duke. Could possibly run the table on...
  11. Spring Practice 2016 News & Notes

    Yep, this team always seems to live on the edge. We depend so much on execution and ball control that it is asking a lot of young players on offense. If we could ever find a defense and kicking game it would take pressure off the offensive line having to execute damn near perfect for us to...
  12. AJC Article on OLine shifts

    In high school, I know a LONG time ago, we had a boy with size, strength, and ability but was overweight by about 25 lbs. The coaches ran his *** off. He did not lift weights that summer. No sir, no air conditioned weight room for him. It was running steps, running sprints, run,run, run. He...
  13. Spring Practice 2016 News & Notes

    I totally agree with this. From what little I have seen, Klock has tackle written all over him. Griffin and Shamire have got to get it done. Moving Burden to guard would be stop gap but it all revolves around the two big guys. If they get right, everything else falls in place. IMHO
  14. Spring Practice 2016 News & Notes

    I am inclined to agree with this but what if, the problem lies not with the technique or the coaching or even the coaches but with the players? It just might be that we simply do not have the talent to do better. I pray this is not the case and it would be nearly impossible to prove one way...
  15. Spring Practice 2016 News & Notes

    Lynn Griffin said about JJ Green: "...I am glad he is on our team instead of Georgia..." So am I Lynn and I am glad you are on our team too. I think we will be fine at A back this year with those two guys and others.
  16. AJC's A-Back preview

    Boy howdy, that Hill was money in the bank once he recovered from his multitude of injuries, illness etc. In that game against Georgia he would not be denied. Gotta have a block? He got it. Need a first down reception? Yep, he was the man. Need a three or four yard run for a first down...
  17. Georgia Tech proposes a one-word change in ‘Ramblin’ Wreck’ lyrics

    Not No, but Hell NO. This is ridiculous.
  18. Recruiting strategy, not the star system, is the issue.

    Why would anyone care about New Jersey? I am southern born and bred. And DAMN proud of it.
  19. WSB Trashing TECH RECRUITING

    Yep! I think that about covers it.
  20. WSB Trashing TECH RECRUITING

    The first four words I learned as a child were "To Hell with Georgia" My father, Textile Engineering class of 1950 would make my sisters and me stand up for Ramblin Wreck like it was the national anthem. Recruiting disadvantages? I have learned, recent comments notwithstanding, to embrace who...
