Well, I am confused.

Shoot, guys. I have read enough of this board to know that when Georgia is involved a Tech runner becomes an immortal if he gets to the end zone upright.

however and whyever it's obvious they had it covered.

I don't like that play very much at all, even when it is set up well, and I don't think this one was. (The first keeper sweep was too close to the throwback, I think.) But all that aside, what I remember most is a friend from Clemson calling me the next day, raving about Searcy's full gainer...

Takes all kinds but to me the "pro style offense" is as boring as some of those passing spreads we are seeing. The fire and fall back is not very appealing, and I think the option requires better athletes. But to each is own. Short term I'\ won't worry about it.

Do you think their preparation includes synchronized stretcher bearers hauling off all the suddenly kneeless Tennessee defenders? It'd make a great YouTube piece.

He doesn't dress all that well, either.

I think I'd have him in there, too, for the totality of his game and the game-on-the-line performances at which he excelled. But just for beating Georgia? Sure. That's enough for me. Twice? Heisman!

I was thinking of Rufus Guthrie and Billy Shaw. There was another who for the life of me I can't remember but yes, for the day, they were bigger than the "normal" linemen of the day.

I am starting to like Tennessee less and less until I can't dislike them more.

Good piece. The outstanding difference in now vs. then in my mind is the overwhelming size difference with no appreciable dropoff in speed. OG at 230 in those days, now 300+; WBs routinely 225-230 pounds, linebackers out of sight big. (Geez. When you read of a LB at 220 as maybe being "too...

I did not, but recall that Dayne was one of the all-time bustouts as winner. I had forgotten that Hamilton was also a Heisman contender.

I enjoyed that. Thanks. I can see the arm strength that was a knock on Lothridge.

No doubt eras in football can't be easily compared as say, baseball might be. But anybody who puts Lothridge anywhere but No. 1 is smoking something he ought not be on. The guy was 21-10 or so in an era when 10 game seasons were the norm vs. 12 today, and defense actually was often the major...

And they were great games, too, weren't they?

The dreaded "trend" has become spreads, predominantly passing, get it out quick and play fast offenses and as a result even the teams playing for the national championship in the last two years, both with acclaimed defenses, were giving up five touchdowns a game. Given that, what would be...

Maybe I have been under a rock of late, but I think Tech has been among the elite for several years. A bad year doesn't change that. How many titles, bowl games, wins, are required to be in such exalted air? Now, if you consider FSU and Clemson as the "elite" and everybody else falling out of...

I agree. So let's end it, to the immense relief of the board. But as a point, I never said you can;'t get wealthy unless it is given to you. Not even close. Now, onward. And at least, sideways.

Wasn't that which puzzled me. I was trying to get a grip on whining snowflakee or a hard an unfair life, or a whining life and unfair snowflake. Back in the day it would be rightly identified as leapfrog logic. And my original doubt was not that one might become a millionaire, but that 20% of...

Huh?
