Yes. Having him back and healthy for Duke made almost as much difference as having Haynes back. I said before that he's one of those; an RB who can move the pile even when he doesn't look he should be able to. Some players just have the knack and Alexander is one of them. And he's fast too boot...

Well. … you could, of course. But not on this part of the board. No doubt he was a great economist by any estimation, however.

Joseph Shumpeter often said he had three ambitions: to be the greatest economist in the world, to be best horseman in Austria, and to be the greatest lover in Vienna. Someone who heard this asked him if he had succeeded. Shumpeter replied, "Two out of three ain't bad."

I wish I could reply with an Amen to every post above. There's a simple solution: options so the edge. We aren't doing that and we should. Here endth the sermon.

The son and I went to the game. Where he informed me that we would need 5 tickets next year because the daughter-in-law and the two sisters all wanted to geo to the games and felt left out. Well, it's only money. My impressions: • Tech got its mojo back. I don't think there was any doubt who...

As I've said elsewhere, anybody feeling nostalgic for the spread option can watch Army or Navy games. Both teams use shotgun formations about 1/3rd of the time, but it's the good old spread option the rest of the way, especially for Army. "But, but," I hear y6ou say, "the rule changes make the...

I also watched the Puke - UNC clash. Neither team impressed me much. Duke has good D, but not enough to shut down a decent offensive team like Tech. UNC is ok on offense, but still has defense problems. Hard to say which outfit is the better, however. I also think Tech can beat them both. We...

I thought Bama was the better team last night and that their coaches had them ready and raring for Ugag. That the dwags came back was predictable, but the refs helped there, especially on fourth down. I was pleased that the better team won. What really impressed me was Bama's team speed. They...

I always thought the most serious mistake TFG made when he came in as coach at Tech was to not keep Woody. Subsequent performance of his Ds at Army seem to reinforce the argument. However, count me as on Tucci's team. The D is already much better and I expect it to improve more this year. The...

As we used to say, "When the leaves turn, so does the offense." I think this is particularly correct for Tech. While I think King is a great QB, he is not a natural at reading Ds for option plays. By the end of the season last year, he was doing just fine, however. We may just have to wait a...

So would I. I would also like to see King commit more to running the ball. He can exploit holes when he is scrambling, but he doesn't handle option reads very well. Yet. Btw, yes to all the other points you made.

Oh, yes it was. They stopped our run game; Tech stopped theirs. They hit long passes; Tech hit long passes. Both teams blocked a field goal. But … the ball bounced into the hands of a Card already headed down field on their blocked FG and it led to a td. And a fumbled ball down near the end...

Oth, I don't think Louisville is a better team than Tech. They won the game on sheer bum luck. Two tds go their way given lucky bounces. Without that Tech wins. I hate it when that happens, but Tech played well enough to win and won every stats battle in the game. Special teams performance...

I couldn't watch the game since I was at a performance by my son's band. He's an attorney, but his soul is with his music and I hate to miss a performance. Instead I had the live feed on and was dismayed twice by what I was seeing. But … • God, I hate turnovers that result in tds. That was the...

This is the formula and has been throughout his collegiate and now pro careers: give Mason the ball 20 times, he deilvers 100 yards. He always has and I'm guessing he always will. And TFG willfully did not see this and act on it. And Tech suffered for it for 3 whole years.

I wondered about that. Horace is a force, but if he's not healthy …

I actually think we win this one. We've already seen the best passing QB in the ACC, perhaps in the country. The Cards QB is good, but he ain't no McCord. Also, I think we get to him more. My only concern is about Biggers; I sure do wish he's ready to play. Losing all that weight has had good...

When I taught my college created Facebook and Twitter accounts for me. "Did they ask?", I hear you say. Why, of course not. Why would anyone not want to be sucked into an endless social media maelstrom? I was able to delete this Twitter account before everybody's favorite South African turned it...

I don't pretend to know what will happen going forward. The contest between Pyron and Philo in the spring may depend on how Buster/Chris decide the O will look like. If they have any sense, with Pyron it'll be all Kansas State all the time; he's exactly the kind of QB that program has lived on...

Well, the wife and I went. She hates to "waste" a ticket and when my son welshed out, she went despite being bored out of her skull. But I thought it was fun to watch. Sloooo … • The run game came back. It was grest to see Maddox out there. He played well and is a good counterpart to Haynes...
