  1. Locker Room Renovation Underway

    A question: is the visiting locker room still the pigsty one visiting team called it?
  2. Congrats to Harrison Butker

    Now, on any other board I would think you are putting us on. But given this context ...?
  3. Congrats to Harrison Butker

    I'm pretty sure that until late in Butker's sophomore year no GT opponent ever set foot in their own end zone. I began to think that just giving them the ball at the 40 would be better. But the strength and length he added over his career at Tech was remarkable, and though I couldn't see much...
  4. Which state produces the most draft picks, 2017?

    I gather Swinney made a good living after he was fired at Alabama and before being hired at Clemson selling commercial real estate. It shows because he can and will sell at every opportunity. I know he coaches a little league travel team and after the NC he is being swamped with fans, and...
  5. Top 20 NFL draft picks

    Question: are those self-reported "offers"? Since coaches can't make public comment on individual recruiting, it seems pretty much left to the individual 17-year-old to announce such things. Sometimes they are outright fraudulent, and other times a kid misunderstands a letter of interest to be...
  6. Top 20 NFL draft picks

    Wasn't that one of Dodd's justifications for leaving the SEC 60 years ago?
  7. Which state produces the most draft picks, 2017?

    Curriculum and money. Swinney has had two ADs and a school president who went all in with him, and that quirky "IPTAY" with more money than sense and will provide him with about anything the administration doesn't -- two NC runs didn't hurt -- and that is not much. From the indoor practice...
  8. Which state produces the most draft picks, 2017?

    If what you are saying is that Venables bought into Swinney's fast-paced, 100 play a game philosophy and produced an outstanding defense to complement it, maybe you aren't far off. Steele got a bus ticket out of town because he insisted, too loudly sometime, that the offense slow down to give...
  9. CPJ on Jay Jones

    Hasn't Vad Lee graduated, gone the way of gas station attendants, family farms, straight stick transmissions and airline courtesy?
  10. CPJ on Jay Jones

    Especially a football QB, I think. That two inches calculates vision a lot further down the field. But I forgot. This is a board for that.
  11. CPJ on Jay Jones

    I was watching Ron Jaworski when he went on a riff about the most desirable attributes for a QB: leadership is first, he said, then arm strength. Then 30 seconds later said Tribiski should go first because of arm strength. Go figure, but it's TV. The best I have read about concerns 4th quarter...
  12. Paul Johnson Also Ran Coach

    What was it Churchill said, not regarding coaching but a like disrespectful line about Hitler wringing England's neck "like a chicken": "Some chicken. Some neck."
  13. CPJ 1-on-1 Interview with CBS

    When I reach that point my wife changes her mind.

    And I don't.
  15. Spring game talk

    Apparently I broke somebody's toy, but I assure you it was unintentional. Lots of guys win lots of HS awards and are not particularly good "athletes" as they might be defined. Tevin Washington won a bunch of stuff at Wetumpka, and i thought he was great -- first rate -- with the option, though I...
  16. Spring game talk

    Watching -- on TC obviously -- him run the same offense. Adequate passer, good runner but not great high end speed and not particularly quick or shifty or adept at making tacklers miss. Good reads and power running, though, and he got into the hole quickly. No problem at all with him as the QB...
  17. Spring game talk

    Maybe look nor further than Craig Candeto to illustrate.
  18. Spring game talk

    Tevin Washington had his limits. But he also -- in my inexpert opinion -- was the best option read/pitch QB Johnson has had at Tech. Through Johnson's nine years here, Washington has been the only player I can say who absolutely maxed out his ability. It would be hard for me to name one other...

    You have to applaud that mindset, too.
  20. CPJ 1-on-1 Interview with CBS

    It started out as such a simple little question, too. Anybody want to tackle if-a-tree-falls-and ...?
