As does playing time.

I know of a football coach who once transferred from Georgia Southern to coach Navy, and then from Navy to coach some team in Atlanta. Wonder what Johnson might say about that?

No. There we go again, deflecting the blame and it is always somebody else. Not us and the way we raise our kids and set our goals and expectations and hold them to it. It is always the teacher who, frankly, is like the military in one respect: if they get trash in odds are pretty fair there...

Sometimes when you are trying to pick a fight it is hard to remember which side you used to be on. Just try to remember: it is radio. A friend of mine once was badly mischaracterized on TV because of name confusion. She called three times for a correction, being promised every time, and the...

As an HR guy I knew was fond of saying, to demonstrate his grasp of active listening, I hear what you are saying. Except backup guys get playing time all the time. If you haven't done it you are most unusual. And when a very capable and dedicated backup QB who accepted his backup role to a...

Are you just naturally mean or was it a learned skill?

Worth is really a textbook example of why it does not necessarily require a 4-star whiz to QB the system. Not very fast, with some size, but runs midline and option very well and very quickly. I haven't seen him throw enough to know if he can pass at all.

MSU at one time was way up there in the rankings, but fell apart late so it's hard to see why they were disappointed in a still-top tier bowl game. Got spoiled early, I suppose, but like us have not had that success since. I do remember the camera on that young defensive assistant supposedly...

You are correct and I did conflate the seasons. I guess my disappointment was that he didn't get in the bowl game despite a significant GT advantage. Thanks.

My favorite is maybe the second play we ran against MSU, when they stuffed an Aback for a loss and set about celebrating wildly. Then we broke one down field on the next play. No celebrating.

he in fact played after Tulane, and was the backup the rest of the year. I don't recall the specific injury except it was to a knee, but he came back during the season.

Nah, that was world class, Olympic standard, record shattering.

Thanks. I will keep this in mind as the game unfolds.

Assuming the best, a big lead, and based on the Orange Bowl only, Thomas won't even be playing the bench. Poor Tim Byerly spent three years as a reliable backup and didn't get in his last game of football ever even after it became a blowout. I never saw Johnson explain that and apparently nobody...

Kentucky will be the latest to figure out the offense. Generally that lasts about two plays.

Ah, that's all in your head. But who better to understand a Tech fan?

Other than being a longtime sidewalk fan who loves Johnson's offense and despite his tendency toward silly brittleness, I like Johnson. So I didn't attend, don't send money, catch a couple of games a year, and have nothing vested in the school or its hirings. That being said, and not knowing...

You technical people have the sexiest stories.

One thing to keep in mind is that Johnson has snarled on a couple of occasions that I can recall, when the powerful SEC and Georgia loomed, "I ain't afraid of 'em if that's what you mean." That probably is reflected between the white lines.

I just went back and looked. He did scramble, but actually got turned and squared up downfield with a defender crashing from his left. I think he had time to throw it to the end zone. Not a pretty throw, but nonetheless. And has anybody remembered that the last two GT wins over Georgia were...
