That's probably true. If that team had a QB who could reliably get him the ball. Nesbitt too often threw the ball like the umpire advised pitching to Ted Williams: high, and behind him.

I do love that "Terrified" poll line. I think we are going about this cut blocking and chopping blocking claims all wrong. We ought to encourage the claims and stir the fear, churn it right up until kickoff. Deny nothing. They want to think it, yessir. Have at it. They have everything to fear...

A friend at Clemson, who did stand next to him near the sideline, thought he barely hit that mark wearing a helmet. But some guys on the board weren't buying that, like Johnson is the world's onliest football coach who doesn't fudge his roster measurements. I suppose that's why the pros take...

My god. Elastic Man. He was 5-11 on the roster, 5-11 on pro day, and in New Orleans is 5-9. I think even that is a stretch but maybe it is the humidity. He does have some muscles, though, and he would need that frame. Good luck to him.

Wow. Fans complaining about officials probably started with The Flood. (Hey, pay attention. We were trying to get a timeout there!) I admit I too have done that, so I'm not pointing a finger. So okay. But paying the "schedulers" takes it to a whole new level. You're talking Grand Jury stuff...

I fear we might spike the ball before crossing the goal line. It's a tough league and hard season and while recognizing the question marks we tend to assume they all will be resolved in our favor. I want all these things to happen and within reason -- a NC is something one is optimistic about...

I agree that VT will be in the mix; they almost always are. And I feel about UNC;s football team the way most on here feel about Georgia, except more. It historically is a team of no accomplishment, as the movie line went, living on its reputation. Of no accomplishment. So if not us, then...

Florida State, Clemson in the Atlantic, with Clemson surprising some people because they will have an outstanding defense with linebackers better than in the past and a good choice at QB while not Watson -- nobody is -- won't be sliced ham. Miami, GT in Coastal. And I hope the order is reversed...

On the other hand ...

I hope we do, want us to, but in a relative sense to season past, we didn't really run all over many people last year. I thought it was kind of a downer year running the ball. Relatively speaking. I want hang 400 yards rushing on everybody.

I'm glad somebody mentioned that. In addition to abrasions and knee bruises, the fact is that it just looks tacky. Sorry, just tacky. Wear knee pads or wear short pants but make up your mind.

I would think it is, but if he is an honest 5-11, and the pro day measurements said he is, then there are shorter corners defending well, and he is athletic enough. But I wonder even then if his body is big and tough enough to take the punishment. Maybe he is one of those rare players with a...

Unless he is as good as Deion Sanders and play cornerback -- able to break up passes but a terrible tackler -- he has no place on defense. What was it the NL baseball player said about some dispute with Sanders? 'What's he gonna do? Arm tackle me?"

It's never going to happen to us. The phenomenon is not unique to football. It is not unlike that of voters who might say they want social programs limited or eliminated, though they themselves benefit from them. It's not that they want to give up their bennies, it is they think they can create...

Either extremely, or just exaggerated: You know this how? Given the infancy of research into CTE that is an impossible "fact" to know.

is this the same Jordan who is a redshirt junior this fall?

When the writer of the piece uses a word, it means just what he chooses it to mean, nothing more nor less. Good catch. But if I had to guess on any coaching change, assuming it would be voluntary, my guess would be that Johnson would time it to best help the guy he wants following him, meaning...

No.

Well, okay. If that's the low-class reputation Georgia Tech wants. That'll show them.

This guy must be good. He goes six years and at least five recruiting classes out and predicts the offense, HC, OC, DC, uniforms, records, ACC championships and before I forget, Johnson's retirement. And on the 7th day ...
