  1. EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY

    I always like to see film on htis so I can compare Shamire against opposing DLs and our own OL. The man was absolutely enormous. I just got a frame that showed him next to Joe. Erin at 6'3", 310 was no shrimp. Shamiore is a good 4-5 inches taller and obviously bigger.
  2. Two examples of horrible coaching yesterday.

    Smith's teammates called him "That Thing". 6'3", 225, probably around a 4.6 40. We had something like him when David Sims played for us, though Sims was 6'4". I played on a team when I was a frosh that had a Smith clone. Bill was 6' 3", 220 and ran the 100 in 10.4. We lost once. Oth, Bill had...
  3. Need help to remember something due to having a few beers to many.

    I see a lot of fonts here saying you shouldn't drink so much. My advice would be to drink more and not think a lot about what's going on on the field. That'll make the rest of the season go by in a haze and you'll be having a good time through it all. The sober among us will do all the suffering...
  4. Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    Yes. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.
  5. 2023 ACC News & Discussion

    Man, was that a great football game or what! One of the best games I've seen all year with Wake starting a 3rd string QB (the 1 and 2 in the room were hurt) against a Pitt team obviously geared up and pulling it out with a terrific TD pass in the last seconds. I never thought I'd see Clawson at...
  6. Boston College Post Game Thread

    I wanted to add one thing on our DL. I watched Duke v FSU last night and the contrast between Duke's DL and ours was shocking. Their whole DL was much faster and pulled off intricate stunts with relative ease. And, btw, spent a good part of the game in FSU's backfield. This isn't likely to be...
  7. Boston College Post Game Thread

    I htink it was more that odd's teams always had a collection of roughnecks on D. Tech was pretty good on O during his time, but lights out on D.
  8. Boston College Post Game Thread

    Ok, I think the prospect of a successful season is now over. Here's a list of what I saw today that should be fixed next spring/fall: • Tech needs to find a reliable RB or two. We had our moments running the ball in the first half, but that disappeared. Tech needs to go out and find a...
  9. GT UNC game time

    I'll put my pale up against your pale any day of the week.
  10. GT UNC game time

    You guys obviously don't have a Scot's complexion. I've gotten sun poisoning with sun screen and a hat.
  11. GT UNC game time

    As long as - Please Merciful Lord - it isn't a 12:00 game. I'll go to see us play BC, but I don't look forward to roasting in the sun while I watch the game. Even beer sales won't solve that problem.
  12. Brent Key is not the answer

    Let me preface this by saying that I understand why we hired Key and I'm sure he'll be successful at Tech. Further, I've been a huge fan of his ever since his playing days. That said, I would have hired Chadwell. Liberty is now 7 - 0 after a real nail biter with MTSU. The Flames had 541 yards...
  13. Stats models and rankings

    I'll buy most of this. However, if your advantage derives from longer possessions, then you should indeed shorten the game, especially if your D is doubtful. A team I can't remember did this for over a decade. Rats! It's right on the top of my tongue! Give me a minute!
  14. Stats models and rankings

    And BGU held the ball twice as long as Tech did and handed us our head in the process. It is true that TOP isn't the be-all-end-all of football. However, as a general rule, you want to hold the ball longer then the other side. The best way to win is always to keep the other side's O off the...
  15. Early BC spread

    I wrote in another thread that Castellano reminds me a lot of Justin Thomas. He does and I expect them to score somewhere around 28 - 31 points. Oth, Their D is … challenged. If we can score around 33 - 35 points then all will be well. But you never know with either outfit; expectations keep...
  16. Haynes King Update: How Do We Feel About Him?

    I just watched Oregon v Washington. And there was Haynes as a senior at QB for Oregon: Bo Nix. Same style, same arm, but Nix shows more judgement on some throws, is more willing to run, and has better cast helping out. If Tech gets him the team he needs, King could become a real winner for us...
  17. Brent Key is not the answer

    I was too. A truly depressing experience. Tech was, I think, the better team, but Awbun had Bo. End of story.
  18. Brent Key is not the answer

    Deleted it.
  19. Brent Key is not the answer

    And Bo didn't? Hershel never saw the day he could touch Bo Jackson, on or off the field.
  20. Brent Key is not the answer

    I have a Ph.D. and really certificated. I'm a DB2 certified programmer from Tech, thank you very much. (Ok, I know that really dates me, but WTH.) And I'll be damned if I'm giving away my season tickets. Oth, I have a really old Tech hat I'd be willing to see the backend of … And, as I believe...
