And here's my choice for #2: Tech - Maryland 2003. We beat them 7 - 3 in one of the best D performances I ever saw at Grant (that's Grant, people) Field. We scored early against a Fridge Team that went 10 - 3 that year. Then we played D and when we got the ball back sat on it like a slug. It...

Many would be exactly right!

JMU wouldn't have stopped it on their best day this year. Calhoun knows how to make it run correctly with the new rules. And that seems to require nothing much more then getting the ABs to be marginally bigger and training them how to block within the new rules. Air Force had a bad run at this...

Which brings me to my one wish for the OL in the off season. I want to see more flexibility and speed out of the whole bunch. (Btw, I'd like to see that in the DL too, but I digress.) I thought some of the guys were carrying about 10 - 15 pounds too much. I know that nowadays the preference is...

Bingo. And as I just said in another post part of the improvement of the OL from the first of the year was a matter of Faulkner realizing what the players were good at doing. You'd think practice would tell you that, but in general it takes game reps for the signal to emerge from the noise. If...

I didn't think the OL was anything but average for the first quarter of the season. Then the new pieces began to fit better and the team got more used to the way Faulkner called the plays. (Of course, that was largely because Faulkner got used to what the players were best at.) By the end of the...

The players ought to award these accolades to the appropriate teammates. A bunch of jive fans ought to keep their big, fat hands off the whole process.

Like I say above: Plow 'em Under.

Key pointed htis out as well after our win in Tampa. And we did it in that game. Maybe a precursor of sorts.

I htink what Cut figured pout was a) practice makes perfect and b) finding a good QB for his O was vital. Running the D against live spread option teams was risky, but not as risky as going into a game with Paul without prior preparation. Also, since possessions were likely to be limited against...

Feeling a bit nostalgic? For the spread option? Want to see how it works under the new, supposedly option-killing NCAA rules? Here you go. This is the Armed Forces Bowl highlights. The Air Force spread option against the best rushing D in the FBS at James Madison. And, of course, when you...

Yes, It was like watching one of Paul's teams in ano0ther formation. We beat them on time of possession and most of that came in the second half. And Key is right; watching King milk the clock from the middle of the third quarter was a lot of fun. Well … for Tech fans, at least.

Too bad there's no way to like a post 1000 times. Dontae has had a tough time in his last year. I expected him to be the TB and to run for over 1000 yards, but injury apparently upturned the apple cart. I hope he gets a chance to try for the next level. I think he could be another Mason if he...

Now, now. Own up. I said 5 and hoped for 6 myself. If not for Cristobal making a first class fool of himself in our game against Miami, I'd have been right.Glad he did and that Tech was there to make his mistakes pay off.

One of my college teammates was 36 - believe it - years old. Uncle Lynwood was a starter, but he tended to get winded when the middle of the 3rd came around. After our 7th game, he went around the locker room singing "Two more weeks and I'll be through / Smoking cigs and drinking brew." And...

I think he'll stick at Sewanee for the near future. He started 16 freshmen this year and if his RB hadn't gotten hurt the Tigers would have done a lot better. (The young man in question cuts a 4.4 forty, almost unknown at that level.) I was very relieved when he was hired; Sewanee had had a long...

I just sent Andy McCollum a post about his first season at Sewanee. The Tigers went 3 -8, but injury played a big part in that. In his reply Coach Mccollum ventured this opinion: "Collins was the worst hire in history at Power 5. I’m still enjoying watching my 9 guys play in the NFL that I...

Yes, and the songs at the after game parties are great!!

Yes. This is a major part of the problem. When radar collision detectors were put on tankers after Prodhoe Bay there were more collisions. The watch on the ships quit looking for other vessels or obstacles; "Hey, dude, the radar will catch it." Now the easiest way to change football behavior...

And, I might add, Tech led the nation in rushing in 2018. Again. And, since none of TFG's teams could stop the run, I'd say a 4td margin is being generous.
