  1. Former Tech great, Billy Martin

    The film of that hit is kind of fuzzy and grainy but it sure looks like Holt threw that elbow right at Graning's face. I read a piece just a couple of years ago that Graning, reacting now to the event and rejecting claims from Alabama that it had not happened that way, was quoted as saying...
  2. Coach Johnson expressed interest in Tennessee's vacancy in November

    I followed Johnson some at Navy, and was excited when Tech hired him. Others know more about him obviously. TV sideline shots, newspapers and message boards is all I know of the man. Given that, I still wonder: what part of Paul Johnson says "quitter"? I haven't seen it. I have seen him on the...
  3. Coach Johnson expressed interest in Tennessee's vacancy in November

    Geez. I would have thought 10 years would count for something.
  4. Coach Johnson expressed interest in Tennessee's vacancy in November

    To coaches, yes. To fans, no. We are hapless captives to the stat line: W-L. Two years ago Army had a good year and expected better things in 2016. They lost 10 games. You think that was a mistake, but I am practicing for politics.
  5. Coach Johnson expressed interest in Tennessee's vacancy in November

    Not to throw ball bearings on the dance floor but I don't agree. I think he has two years into his newly extended contract to 2022 before the heat is turned up. But, there is always a but, if he continues to show interest in other jobs, all bets are off. I am guessing the GT AD is like most...
  6. Coach Johnson expressed interest in Tennessee's vacancy in November

    where there are pots, there are stirrers.
  7. Adam Gotsis arrested

    that is a very cynical view of the justice system. Of course the DAs themselves are elected. Their assistants are not. Defense lawyers are not. Most of them on both sides labor in an imperfect system. And that means if the prosecution doesn't have the evidence to prosecute, they most likely will...
  8. Adam Gotsis arrested

    No, prosecution's role is to find the truth. Whether they will or not is up to the specific office. and outlaws sometimes exist. Fact is, the prosecution is supposed to ferret out truth, and defense is to make them prove it. Untold numbers of cases are not taken forward and charges either...
  9. ESPN Interview with CPJ

    Oddly enough I know a bit about Clemson's -- not a run and shoot -- from an acquaintance close to the program. It has both one and done looks when the QB takes off. But it has a two look tree before he bolts, and hardly ever a 3-progression. Their aim is to get it in the air or on the ground in...
  10. Spring Practice

    yep
  11. Spring Practice

    Spoiler alert: wait until the first scrimmage. If the corners and safeties give the WRs a 12-yard cushion on third and 4, , it is the old defense.
  12. ESPN Interview with CPJ

    I've been one of the loudest whiners about missing (wide) open receivers, and I mean other area code open. That being said, I don't know the route tree and the progression, or if there is a progression because sometimes I am sure there is not. Just one guy and chunk it. That being said I did a...
  13. ESPN Interview with CPJ

    Not to worry. We can rise to Facebook levels if required.
  14. ProJackets Update

    I believe you are right, if my eyes are to be believed, and that was the kick. Swinney was still learning to be a HC and said later he did not make it clear to his kicker to kick it out of bounds, since from a FG formation it would be hard to defend a runback. I have a vivid memory of Johnson...
  15. Interview with ACC Commissioner John Swofford

    I am not sure how aggressive ESPN has been or will be with the ACC channel. That universe has changed so much and ESPN is cutting costs by the boatload for lack of advertising dollars across their system. They need programming but past financial commitments have blown up on them. Be interesting...
  16. ProJackets Update

    Was it the ;08 or '09 Clemson game, when Swinney was either interim or just given the job, and there was some confusion on a punt? Burnett first creeped toward the LOS and Johnson was screaming and waving at him to get back to field it. he did and scored. I've always wondered if Johnson saw...
  17. Tech's 1952 National Championship season

    At one point there was an accusation that Dodd hand-picked West Virginia. If you want a rush of nostalgia read the history of the game and those names from the past will leap from the screen: Hardeman. Teas. Rodgers. Henry Hair.
  18. Tech's 1952 National Championship season

    Yes. '53 and '54 bowls. In '54 he completed 18 passes with three TDs. Those records, I'm sure, have been eclipsed with today's passing offenses.
  19. Tech's 1952 National Championship season

    Rodgers for many years held several Sugar Bowl passing records. Might still. But just in January he was one of 18 players/coaches named to the first Sugar Bowl Football Hall of Fame. Betcha his head just about exploded, and he always did have trouble finding hats that fit.
