Jeez Louise, about time! Just above we had some fonts wishing for TEs like they had at Ugag over the last two years. We have that athlete, all we have to do is use him. Boyd is 6'2", 232 and cuts a legit 4.4 40. Buster can switch him back and forth between TE and WR just like he did down in...

It's working for Wake right this minute. It is true that this might take awhile to shake out. And, of course and for the umpteenth time, Tech needs to start scheduling to win. No more Ole Miss or other OFC games with nationally ranked opponents, if you please. I'll take Old Dominion or Richmond...

Ah, yes. Living proof that transferring OLs can pay off. I remember one pre-game interview he did with a color man who was a former NFL DL. As he said (paraphrasing), "It's not often that I have to look up at someone I'm interviewing and I'm outweighed by 70 pounds." The only player we've ever...

Well, yeah; that's why mentioned John Davis. But, given your druthers, you'd give even talented players a year or two to develop. That's how you win when you can't get a group of 4 - 5 star OLs every year. Shoot, even Mason, probably our most talented OL in years, took two years to work into the...

I'm a bit divided on that. And, btw, I'm really glad Tech turned the Big(Whatever It Is Now) when they came to us. I have absolutely no wish to be at the bottom of that bunch with Rutgers and Indiana. I like the pond we're in. Of course, things could change …

The OL is a good reason why we probably will have to wait a year. Ok, so everybody is back. And everybody - except Williams - is still wet behind the ears for an OL. We might be able to get the unit cohesion and good OL by mid-season, but we almost certainly won't have it right off the bat...

Hmmmmm. Sorta looks like they expect things to go wrong, nicht wahr? . But back to "Hyundai Field". It isn't and it never will be no matter how much money the car dudes contribute. It'll always be Grant Field to any loyal Yellow Jacket. I think we ought to make that plain to the administration...

Best example: Darren Waller. Fat's great grandson might have been the most athletically talented Tech WR ever, even including Calvin. He was bigger and faster then anybody else on the field. And, when he got his head out of the clouds he was unstoppable. And most schools were recruiting his as a...

Very realistic review. I agree with the opinions given; I think we are at a 5 win bottom and might win another one or two. Oth, this is Key's first year as a head coach. Every now and then a coach comes along who suddenly gets that head coach job and runs with it. Sorta like Mike Elko did last...

I'l;l buy most of this, but I don't buy the "best athletes on one side" idea. If you look at Paul's tenure at Tech the athletes with the highest recruiting rating were usually on D. This was especially the case after Roof became DC; the guy's schemes seemed to be sporadic, but, Laws, could he...

I'd like to see that, but I don't know if Tech's recruiting can deliver it. The main thing about Paul's O is that it delivered points using the kinds of players we could get. Prime example: Robbie Godhigh. Here's a guy who was lights out in high school, but struck most recruiters as a) too small...

Yes. Since this is, in part, a history thread, let's recall that Paul's teams scored. True, they often got scored on a lot, but the one thing you could count on in most games is that Tech would score north of 28 points. We have got to get back to that level if we are to have a chance. I've often...

I remember that 2000 OSU team. Erikson got the school, just like Miami, to let in anybody he wanted. And he got the most athletically talented team I've ever seen. Those guys were - shall we say? - academically challenged, but, Laws, could they play football. I watched the Civil War that year...

Maye was hurt for most of his career. Too bad, that.

Yessss. And this for a guy who averaged 9.3 ypc and even more - couldn't find the stat - per pass reception. And he could block. And he could return kicks. I don't know what the story is here. He had plenty of speed and ran tough; see the film. But … could be he didn't really want to play pro ball.

I don't know what these guys are smoking but Wake is ninth? They have a good chance to win the conference. Treu, losing Hartman sucked, but their new guy is pretty good, by all reports. And, of course, they are a heavily junior and senior team. If Tech can find a QB we'll do ok too. Until we...

Aske and you shall receive: Now, true, this is just the O highlights, but you didn't really want to see the D did you? Btw, Orwin Smith wasn't drafted? Are you serious?

I agree with almost all of this, I do think that the "downward trend in the 2010s" is a weak argument. Most people who make it begin with the injury tsunami in 2015, then ignore 2016 and 2018, both winning seasons and bowl teams. The 2017 team would have been at least two victories better, imho...

That's a hard one. There immediately stand out. Tech 7 alabama 6 in 1962. I listened to the game on radio and I've seldom been so happy in my life. Tech 31 Clemson 17 in 2011: Excpt, perhaps, at this game. I stood in the stands at the finishe yelling, "I love to beat Clemson! I love to beat...

Well … that's as obscene as most places. This constant upward pressure on coaches salaries doesn't make any sense. Take Key, for instance. Right now he doesn't have a head coaching record. He took over last year and did ok, but he's never run a ship before. Why does he get a salary like he...
