  1. Tech's Honeycomb Helmet Voted #1 Ugliest Helmet In College Football

    I'm not a uniphobe, but I don't like the "honeycomb" helmet because it doesn't look like any honeycomb I ever saw. It does look like a lot of chicken wire I have seen.
  2. Justin Thomas Has Seen it All

    It's a drive-by piece with all the insight of a bank teller. Managed to delve into stats, stretch it out, get two quotes -- and give him his due on the Mullen quotes -- scratch up some history, probably from GT media books, and avoided talking to Thomas at all. Arggh.
  3. Does Vandy travel well?

    You are just a little ray of sunshine.
  4. Sugiura: Football lessons bring Johnson, daughter closer together

    As to Number One: what, you think he wouldn't? As to Number Two: that actually is a really good idea that maybe someone might pass on to the AD as a request. I don't trust marketing types to ever get anything right, including the obvious. This oughta be a gimme putt.
  5. Sugiura: Football lessons bring Johnson, daughter closer together

    I know beans about opera, though I am impressed that some on the board clearly know a lot. But while I have no clue what they are singing I do admire the voices they project. It requires a discipline evident in no other genre, a word I never thought I would use. Good on her.
  6. Sugiura: Football lessons bring Johnson, daughter closer together

    I am certain they are, as they should be. But I can't be the only one struggling with the idea of Paul Johnson having an opera singer in the family. Bet if he was home when she practiced it was brutal.
  7. Sugiura: Football lessons bring Johnson, daughter closer together

    There is a standing exchange in my house of three boys and a girl. It goes that one of the boys will chirp that "You treat her different than you treat me," and I respond that yes, "That's because I love her best." So far no evidence of damaged psyches.
  8. About that cut blocking thing...

    Thanks. I had no idea where it was. Turns out my wife was reading it because several years ago we knew both Christian's father and grandfather. Both of them are tough-minded, serious competitors to whom winning is just about everything and not much is in second.
  9. About that cut blocking thing...

    I read a piece on Stanford's Christian McCaffrey this morning -- sorry I can't link it but my wife handed her iPad to me at breakfast -- and among things he must improve upon is cut blocking. The difference is, apparently, that he always seems to know who he should cut. I had always assumed what...
  10. Tech signs kickers

    For those who love the kicking game -- and think GT-Georgia oughta happen every week -- Tech has 2017 commitments from the HS No. 1 punter and the No. 4 placekicker, if ratings services are to be believed. Probably the biggest attraction was the realization that come their first football season...
  11. State of the ACC: Your View

    Were I a betting man my bet would be that within five years Clemson and FSU get a good look at SEC books and TV revenue and magically get admitted to the SEC. If that happens the ACC is going to be in deep, second class water.
  12. Countdown to Kickoff

    I choose baseball but unfortunately as a lifetime fan of the Dodgers things are no better. I think we got a shot if Kershaw can go every day.
  13. Countdown to Kickoff

    Well, I tell you. If we don't get some football soon football message boards are going to shrivel and die or start talking about uniforms again. I can't point fingers because I have nothing to add. But surely there is someone out there to keep me from thinking about serious things.
  14. Tech's Honeycomb Helmet Voted #1 Ugliest Helmet In College Football

    I hate to point out it was a Fox outlet that did this.
  15. Tech assistant coach Mike Pelton’s recruiting strategy

    You have a future as a newspaper editorial writer.
  16. Pelton hopeful for Francis Kallon to ‘put it all together’

    Not exactly what they mean by athletes having a short memory. This is not good and probably not fixable.
  17. Tech assistant coach Mike Pelton’s recruiting strategy

    A avery good line I will steal some day.
  18. Tech assistant coach Mike Pelton’s recruiting strategy

    Getting lost in the smaller pool theory is the even smaller one that so many are willingly in denial of: how many of the smaller pool fitting GT requirements have any desire to take the GT curriculum? As hard as it may be for a technical type to accept that not everybody cares about what they...
  19. Will BC be ready for Tech ?

    There you go getting facts in the way again.
  20. ProJackets Update

    I think his observation that he could run as fast as the guy next to him was pretty much on from what we saw. Nobody every beat him although some question his downfield speed.
