If I remember right it was an iterative process. Vaught didn't want to schedule Tech, so Dodd didn't schedule either Mississippi schools. There wasn't much in it for either coach at the time. And this led to trouble later. But maybe I'm not remembering correctly. I mean, I was wrong just last...

I said ths in another thread. King now has the one thing that can make him an effective runner: a credible RB for double options. Tech has had those plays in for awhile now, but until we got Smith back on the field classic double option QB reads were not believable and were ignored by the D...

Well. … that and Johnny Vaught didn't want more then one tough game (Bama) on his schedule. 9 patsies and Bama. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Having your #1 RB back on the field can also help, as we just saw.

I think this is right. A "luxury tax" a la NBA would do a lot to even things out money-wise. But that isn't likely, given the way the NCAA is set up. The fly in the ointment here is that even teams with loaded of money often have a hard time maintaining their win levels (Clemson). And some...

Could be. Imho, he's as talented as Singleton. I htink Tech has an inside track to keep him, however.

Win 6 - 7 games and go to a bowl. If the young man is convinced he's with a winning program and he's going to get a world-class education, I think he'll stick. Of course, a little NIL money wouldn't hurt. We'll just have to see.

I agree and I think FSU has an good chance to win against that lineup. I will depend on who plays Ugag first. If it is Michigan/OSU, then there's a good chance that the Dwags will be eliminated. I don't think FSU could beat Ugag, but they could beat Michigan/OSU and, if they get in, Washington...

When I listened to the interviews I was reminded of the famous graffiti on a wall in Sarajevo: Come Back, Tito! You've got to be kidding -Tito Seriously though I wanted Paul to be like Bill Snyder and retire in his early 70s at Tech. And he could have and Tech would have been in much better...

I think this game is a real toss-up. If we can get Smith untracked we have an excellent chance to win. Their D is the problem; they're pretty good. Their O is ok, but nothing to write home about. Their formula this year has been to trust the D to keep the score reasonable and hope the O can pull...

I went to the game with my son. We left after tech got behind 11, mainly to avoid the crowds. I'm having some problems with my balance and we decided to avoid the church after he game. Then we went to a bar full of Tech fans and watched the victory. I wasn't that surprised, btw. My impressions...

He only does it - run, that is - under extreme duress. Maybe the BC game will convince him (and the coaches) to call a few QB sweeps this week.

Yet … when we have coaches who know how to use the players we get the results are substantial. Ross, O'Leary, Gailey (yes, Gailey), and Johnson all did just fine usually with players not to many other schools were interested in. Even Joe Hamiliton was normally approached as a DB while he was in...

And we could have done it. However, just as he did with the Temple team Rhule left him, TFG decided to abandon the style of football his entire team was built for. (Btw, Temple fans warned us this would happen.) And the result was the Citadel debacle and three straight 3 - 9 seasons. You want to...

Seems about right to me. And, given the Holes variable performance, I expect a close game. Provided we run the football for once.

Ahhh. That's what I want: a schedule full of cupcakes and a couple of tough games. That's the Johnny Vaught formula for success and there's no reason not to use it.

Yes, it is. When Paul was hired I heard a load of people here and elsewhere who said they didn't mind a few down seasons - and they meant losing seasons - if Tech could occasionally grab the gold ring. That is exactly what Paul delivered, first with Gailey's players - that, btw, he knew how to...

One more thing. I read a book once that divided movies into various types and named the best in each category; there were about 20 of them. So Psycho was number one (and with no contenders) as a thriller. The Haunting was a horror film and ranked #2 (I think). But on Halloween it probably...

Without a band you'd never be able to do this: And little things like that count! Seriously, I complain about the canned stuff and the immensely loud announcements with every survey I get form the GTAA. If everybody did that and clapped real loud, maybe Tinkerbell would get rid of the noise...

#1 with a bullet has to be the original version of The Haunting.Try to get to sleep after you watch that thing starting at 9:00. And, for the Almighty's sake, don't show it to children under 15. And, btw, don't chicken out after it starts.
