You know, only in the Duke or Georgia game, I forget, has any "analyst" been adept enough to realize and to talk about the options in Johnson's option offense. Five I believe, when most everybody talks beginning to end about "the triple option offense." as RedPete suggests it would be neat to...

I remember the guy though not by name. The defense and the size difference killed us.

'm going to digest the rest of your post and the others in support, but meanwhile I am with you on the defensive line. Don't know why exactly but after 10 yeas there is a message there. Those guys are Georgia, Clemson, Alabama, etc.

There might be some "accepted" norms that are wrong. Or now just different. I noted in Hunter Renfrow's absolutely dazzling 62-yard TD catch and run against Miami -- if you haven't seen the video, try to find it; he made seven tacklers miss and three of them tripped over each other and fell --...

I always wonder -- and I am not stirring the pot here; I am genuinely curious -- what someone might actually mean by a "particular niche style and scheme". With 11 players there seem limited alignments -- I thought the 4-2-5 took it about as far as reason would allow -- as well as crashing or...

What is pretty clear given the direction of the ACC and college football in general is that if Johnson does not get it Georgia Tech cannot compete for championships, even in outlier years. Tech is no longer Dodd's program with a HC and 3-4 assistants of some sort, one guy with a movie camera...

Oh, read the book and you'll get it.

Ah, for god's sake. Your first point is exactly the point I made: Swinney adopted that years ago and is now where he is ... at the top. And yes, he pays a bunch for assistants. It's how he gets 'em. Don't you get it yet? It is part and parcel of the "Legacy" philosophy and the "Clemson culture"...

Wow. Just wow. Clemson 38. Miami 3. Clemson in 3 NC playoffs, runnerup once, NC once, one to be determined. I write this one down as the most uninformed post of the fading year. While we display such superior football knowledge, he is the one doing all the winning. Envy by any other name.

This is a cheap, poorly explained and clearly misunderstood knockoff of the principles laid out in the book "Legacy", about the legendary All Blacks (rugby team) of New Zealand, "to reveal 15 powerful and practical lessons for leadership and business." But as explained by ASU, I wouldn't do it...

Well, that would stop the fighting all right.

I am less concerned on how they do it than the fact it would even be considered by somebody protecting his phoney baloney job. (Sorry, Blazing Saddles again.) When two schools are what, 85 miles apart, meaning fans can drive to the game where ever it is played without the huge flight expense...

when Harbaugh was there they did. I remember he got in hot water back in Michigan by pointing out, when criticized, that his alma mater did the same thing. Not to get in somebody else's battle but Stanford has course offerings that dwarf anything GT can do. It is a university in the truest sense.

When I used the word I meant it in the sense that a lot of people, way too many people, don't have that opportunity or chance. Not that you just happened into it. It's commendable and actually I have seen it often, and if it means anything -- it might not -- almost always from college educated...

Your kids are lucky. But now the $64 question: in response to critics who will say, and do say, that more money doesn't buy better teaching, do you agree or disagree? (I know. it's a loaded question. Because if it didn't your district would be dumb to pay that kind of money. But for those who...

And yet a university that demands a teaching position be paid for in student enrollment in the class adds "administrators" willy-nilly. And hardly anybody knows exactly what they are responsible for. But yes, teachers are easy targets as the public face.

To further make my case of an anti-education bias, at least from one political party, note the latest bill -- I am not being political here -- takes away the $250 tax credit teachers get for buying classroom materials the taxpayer is too cheap to provide -- $250 mind you -- and those...

I was once on a panel discussion about such things and asked the question generally of the audience: other than your immediate family, who has been the biggest influence in your life? Sometimes not exclusively so but prominent in the discussion came back one or more teachers. I had two. One was...

My second son is a professor at an excellent public college and doesn't make six figures. Those numbers are reserved for the administrators who, well, administrate something. You must live in a fabulously wealthy school district, because in NC's wealthiest districts the average is about $48,000...
