So do I. But it would have been Mason at BB. I was looking forward to that. So you think Tobias would have been an AB? Bold and defensible choice.

I want to thank Dontae for sticking with the program and for giving us such a charge in the running game as the season progressed. I don't know what the problem was for him early on, but when he came in all of a sudden we could run effectively between the tackles. That meant that the toss sweep...

Dontae too, He was in line to start at AB and would have been a great on.

You know what I really like about Brent Key? He HATES Georgia. He hates them with a passion. He wants to beat them more then anybody else on our schedule. That will take the program in a good direction if the recruiting holds up.

My son and I went to the bar where we watched Tech beat UNC. (We went to the games first, of course, but I have to leave early. Balance issues.) I ran into a Dwag in the pissior and he said, "You played a pretty good game." in a condescending tone. I replied, "Your day is coming and that right...

Early in the year you could see that Haynes was a former WR. He had little idea of finding a hole (even if one was available) and was pretty much clueless in the trash. He has improved greatly over the year, however. He can't make a hole, but he has learned to look for holes and has the speed to...

But, but … we all know that D can't win football games in today's game!! What does Iowa think it is doing out there upsetting the conventional wisdom applecart? It's … sort of like saying that the spread option can work in P5 football!! Well, yes, D can win games even in the pass-happy 2020's...

Look, a winning record is something to applaud, not complain abut. I thought we had settled all that when TFG was at Tech and all of a sudden the last four years of Paul's regime started to look a lot better. That Key could get Tech to a winning record with as inexperienced a team, with new...

It is ROTC. The Corps of Cadets used to be mandatory for all TAMU students, but that ended in 1965 when women (horrors!) entered the place. Now students volunteer for entry and take ROTC courses. About 45% end up as officers. There are only about 2500 members. The Band is part fo the Corps; no...

Just ran across this: https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2023/11/a-miscellany-of-tuesday-morning-infamy You can ignore the first part, but the contract details about Jimbo in the second part will raise your eyebrows. You think Tech writes bad contracts? Ladies and gentlemen, I present the...

I mentioned the A&M marching band earlier and how they might help the Aggies live through what will happen to them now. Here they are: There is simply no marching unit on Earth that can match that level of close order drill. The only other band I'd stay for half time for is the Marching...

Texas A&M has a long history off firing winning coaches. First, Slocom, now Fisher. I mean, I get that they want to win the SEC and get to the CFP and all that, but firing winning coaches is not the way to do it. Well, now some other school - not Tech, mind you - will get his services and...

Tech wore white helmets very like the ones today in the 1968 season. That's enough for me.

Niels Bohr, I think. But maybe Yogi stole later. Sounds like both of them.

Well, this might be a year or two early. And dicey even then. What bugs the <realm of Hades> out of me is thinking about where we might be if Smith had been healthy all year. Imho, Tech would have beat Louisville, BGU, and BC with him on the field. Ah, well …

Bingo. The key to this game, imho, is turnovers. If we can force 3 - a real possibility - then we have a chance to win. I think Clemson is very good on D, but I also think that we could get 400+ yards of offense against them. Tech really is that good on O now. Better than Notre Dame, I hear you...

My wife bought it for me. It is the best Rolling Stones album since Exile on Main Street. Imho, of course, though a lot fo critics back me up. The main thing, however, is that the thing came out and even at 80 (Jagger), 79 (Richards and with arthritis) and 75 (Wood) these people are still out...

Well, you aren't kidding there. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see either team win by 3 points. Both kickers are pretty good and it is strength v strength (Tech's O, the Tigger D) and weakness v weakness (the Tigger O, Tech's D). I think such games are usually tossups.

So what happened to the extra wordy impressions of the game this week? I lknow you are all waiting with bated breath. Well, you are out to luck. I went to my (Jesus above, help me) 55th college reunion this last weekend. My classmates and I all looked at each other with amazement that we were...

I would add one other aspect: confidence. One reason Vaught's Ole Miss teams were so good was that when they went up against Bama - usually the only tough game on the schedule - they went on the field thinking they would win. This means that when the first fist goes to face the team will usually...
