    Schematic Advantage, Ralph, Bill O'Brien, and for some reason Silicon Valley

    lol there's no debate. Way more often were we a 7-win team than a 9-10 win team. It was more like 1 or 2 really good seasons followed by several disappointing ones.

    Schematic Advantage, Ralph, Bill O'Brien, and for some reason Silicon Valley

    If a team actually spent MORE time practicing against us, that's actually a disadvantage of the scheme.

    Schematic Advantage, Ralph, Bill O'Brien, and for some reason Silicon Valley

    We sure didn't have any sort of schematic advantage vs about half of our schedule the past few years.

    Yellow Jackets 2020 Class

    HS players and coaches both agree with the bolded and yet somehow they're wrong too lol.

    Spring Game Postgame Thread

    You left out the part where the QB threw a pass to the TE at the end of the play.

    Shapiro needs to let it go

    I'm surprised to hear that Shapiro is still remotely relevant. I switched to Sirius years ago and will never go back to the black hole that is the entirety of Atlanta radio, AM and FM. There's no good sports talk and there's no good rock.

    Tech Defense

    ok. Well these kids "aren't his recruits" - I'm basically giving them a year or so, which is only fair.

    Tech Defense

    Fantastic breakdown, @Ibeeballin and thanks for doing that as well as your postgame report. What I'd like to see - better fundamentals, for starters. Better open-field tackling, pursuit angles, etc. Also getting more heat on the QB would be a nice change. I'd like for 3rd and Long to...

    GATOR BOWL in trouble

    I remember the classless ND band playing their insidious fight song as loud as possible during the post-game MVP and trophy presentations to Dez White and the boys. Such a great day to put those arrogant jerks in their place!

    GATOR BOWL in trouble

    I was there - one of my favorite games ever. Beating Rudy's *** was cathartic.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    "The refs are very bad and officiating stinks" is not the same as "The refs specifically made bad calls against us". Which IS nonsense.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    UVA was the only team that had 8 wins last year. Miami fired their coach, ours retired, VPI was dismal, Duke was avg at best. Crappy and weak is probably polite. True, that does result in 'chaos' but let's not pretend that any team in the Coastal in 2018 was very good, esp. considering no...

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    The "OMG Scheduling!" and cheating refs both centered around the bizarre conspiratorial belief that the ACC was, for reasons never explained, out to get PJ. Now that PJ has retired, no reason for that to exist anymore.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    It'll be nice to no longer hear nonsense about ACC Scheduling Conspiracies ("OMG Bye weeks!") and the constant belief that the refs screwed us over.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    That'd be nice though I doubt the Coastal will be as crappy and weak as it's been the past few years. It can't get much weaker than the 2018 Coastal.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    The past 11 years, we beat Clemson a few times too but no one puts us on their level now. It's not terribly relevant today (esp. to a recruit, who was around 8 yrs old then) what we did in 2011. Hell, we won the ACC and beat Clemson twice in 2009! How does that translate to getting recruits...

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    All we have quantitatively are recruiting rankings and those 2 rarely out-rank us by much. The idea that our talent level has sunk below those 2 is enough of an indictment by itself. I don't care how many recruiting assistants Duke has on its staff - a kid should never choose 4 years in Durham...
