Yeah, this is it, imho. And it will only get worse as the news people try religiously to get the picks to rotate by team. A lot of this is because the folks involved know, like, next to nothing about football. They know who was good last year and they know who is reputed to have the best talent...

I look forward to that!

From your mouth to Key's ears. Williams is, imho, a natural guard and performed extremely well when he was in the middle. We do have people who can take over at tackle if it comes to that. And, of course, he's no slouch at RT either. Luckily, these decisions are above my pay grade.

Yes, I liked that too. Now's the time to do it; Tech has a lot of new players and the coaches need to look at them and the underclassmen to get some evaluations. I think that is very encouraging. One of the things I didn't like - among many - about TFG is that there was a lot of talk about this...

Gosh, I enjoyed that! I was in the stands for the 2008 game and I've seldom been as happy at any football event. (Well … maybe the 2011 Clemson game.) Hearing the Wes calls for all these games is a real treat. The only complaint = you didn't include his call of the last few seconds of last...

I think there's a chance that we'll see another MacKenny this year: young mister Riggs. He is, by all reports, a smasher. Rutledge will probably get first dibs on RG, but we'll see. There's a monster amount of depth here and corresponding opportunities for the enterprising. That's nice.

I'm with Paul on this: all I want is three stops a game. We haven't done that recently and it needs to start. With what we have coming back on O if the D can get three stops we ought to be in every game. That's all I'm asking for this year; just enough of a opportunity for King and co. to have a...

You and me both, bro. Oth, I get to eat what I like and too bad for her occasional complaints.

Speaking of that. There's a hill above the stadium at Cal where you can watch the whole game while sitting in the woods with your buds and significant others. ABC sent a reporter up there for one of their games to get "local color". When they switched to her report the dope smoke around her...

Yeah, I know that can happen. But it hasn't under Clawson. When his teams have experience they win. Their problem last year was replacing Hartman. The new kid - Bachmeier - is the former starter at Boise State and Louisana Tech where he did very well. That will probably take care of the O...

I think there is one regularity in these pre-season media polls: both Tech and Wake will be underrated. I think Tech will end up in about the same place as it did last year, I hope with one more win. I also think Wake will win 8 games; they're like Tech in that most of their O and D come back...

Yep, my bad. But … we don't know what kind of influence Santucci had oon the further jump. I'm hoping a lot.

All you say is true, but there's one more angle: Santucci is yet another DC. The players may have both their heads and their muscle memory confused and mistakes will probably happen. The summer practices might make a difference there, but maybe not. Oth, when he was DC at Duke Santucci took...

Yes and this is fundraising 101. The basic idea is a crowd effect. Big donors like to feel like they are part of a general commitment by the entire fan base. The more money you get from the regular Tech fan, the more money they feel they can - and ought to - give. There's also the economy; if...

That's a great film! Darrell Crawford remi9nds me of Justin Thomas and Hardeman was a slightly faster Roibert Godhigh. And, yes, that 1966 Tech - UT game was a real disappointment. But … Johnny Majors was a right good QB. No slouch as a coach either, though his dad was probably better.

I can't remember which year, but it was a Tech spring scrimmage game. It was cold, it was raining, and I had on a rain coat and a cotton shirt. I got soaked through and then the wind came up. Finally, I said to myself, "What in <the nether region> are you doing? Get out of here. Now." I would...

I used to use a text for my research methods courses that has been "in print" for over 20 years. Is the thing actually in print sitting on the shelfs? No, it is not. When the press in question gets an order for it they print the book and send it out. They also had a discount for multiple copies...

Why, oh, why doesn't the GTAA do this? Or, at least, offer it as an option for an extra fee to ticket holders? It wouldn't be that expensive; I could do without the cream laid paper and color photos. All I would want is the hard copy. But why, I hear some say? Isn't this a luddite way of...

Yep. I don't really mind the pumped in music at the start of the game, but afterwards all it does is drown out the band. We have the best fight song in the country - nay, the galaxy - and we need to lead with that then use White and Gold. Also, have a piece of band music - Budwieser (and why...

I think two things are evident form the roster weights (if they are accurate). First, Santucci told the DLs he wanted a lean mean fighting machine and he didn't want to see much in the way of a gut out there. This should pay dividends in terms of flexibility and endurance. Having Lockett and...
