I did the ignore myself test and promptly forgot what I was about to post.

But what I said was that a kid who is starting at Tech is unlikely to leave just to get lost in the depth chart at another school. Four-stars at other schools who are not getting reps because of the five-stars ahead of them may consider Tech a good alternative. The two guys you reference aren't...

I agree to some extent; the transfer portal has changed everything. I'm hanging my hat on the idea that kids are won over by the genuineness of CBK & Co. and want to stay and play for some good coaches at a great school. Now, maybe I'm all wrong, but I just don't see a kid who is starting at...

And yet, there are five teams that we WERE able to "hang with" and more this season. Which is better than where we were just a few short years ago. As for reasons to believe 2025 will be different: 1. We will be a year older and a year wiser. That goes for players and coaches. 2. We will have...

'78-'83 for me. At the game when UGA scored on its first play from scrimmage with only 7 seconds elapsed on the game clock after the opening kickoff. They caught our secondary looking at Herschel in the backfield and threw a pass over the top. After that, it was Herschel left, Herschel right...

This observation: We had more yards, more first downs and more time of possession. We also had more turnovers (interceptions) and fewer points. But it looks to me like if we had had a healthy Haynes King, we win this one rather handily.

No, Chicken Little, the sky is not falling. At 5-4, we are EXACTLY where all the savants predicted we would be. Are we looking sharp, like a well-oiled machine? Of course not. That's why we are 5-4 and right where we were expected to be at this point in the season. Going forward, we can expect...

Not what I said. Not even close. Thanks for checking in.

I understand the FSU connection, and that's a HUGE plus for making the move. BUT right now? I dunno... Norvell is 43. How long is he going to be around after a year like this? Weinke is only 52. Seems like there is time for him to wait until FSU has its act together - on and off the field -...

Unless FSU is CCW's "dream job", I'm not sure why he would want to jump into the middle of that dumpster fire.

*EDIT* While I was typing, I see that NorthAvenueNation (love that, btw) posted before me. I second everything he says. To wit: First, did we REALLY expect to beat Notre Dame? Anyone who says, "I expect to win every game," is either lying or a fool. Second, is the team better today than it was...

One of two things has to happen: 1. HK gets rested, healthy and ready by Nov. 21, or 2. ZP is up to speed and battle-tested after starting against ND, VT and Miami. Either way, I think the season will come down to beating NC State on a Thursday night in Atlanta.

I like trains.

Perhaps, but no bowl at all is worse.

One other point: I was not happy seeing our defensive guys flopping on almost every play in the fourth quarter. Sometimes they even seemed to be confused about who the designated flopper was. And then they get up and walk off the field? You ever have a muscle cramp in the middle of the night...

BTW, I'm not overly concerned about being "exposed" on defense. Didn't we learn what we need to work on over the next couple of weeks? As long as we don't make the same mistakes twice, the teams we have yet to play will not be seeing the Sept 7 version of our Defense.

FWIW, at 2-1, we're right where I thought we would be at this point. We just took a surprising route to get here. If we get to six wins and a bowl, I think we will have done well this year given the schedule. I was suggesting an "Ivy League" approach to football just a few years ago, so this...

I'm gonna post my thoughts on this game and then go back to read the thread. 1. I was nervous about this game going in. We'd beaten FSU (hasn't everyone?), and we were ranked. That's the kind of stuff that goes to your head. 2. It was an away game in a tough venue. 3. During the first half, I...

What if we were to conduct some statistical analyses of the impact of crowd noise relative to the performance of the athletes on the field and then provide the data to all the "nerd/engineering" students? We could even encourage them to take part in a longitudinal study by conducting actual...
