Yesssss. And it never mentions that "recruiting for the ACC"was not something Paul found it too hard to do. The problem = recruiting for the ACC while running an offense like everyone else. Sure enough, that caused problems with our scoring. (The D was not much better either, despite all that...

So I was right. This happens all the time.

Am I right in assuming that offering a "scholarship" to cover the $100 cost would violate NCAA rules? If not, Tech should ask us to chip in.

I think this pinpoints the main problem Tech has: lack of a proven, experienced, winning QB. I think the talent is there. Others here point out that we don't have any breakout studs on this team. That if true, but irrelevant. The overall talent is actually pretty good and the depth is adequate...

Well, in all cases it is a matter of what could have been. Let's take Graham, for instance. Here's his junior year highlight reel: https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2017/12/22/16810722/georgia-tech-recruiting-georgia-tech-flips-an-signs-4-star-qb That is just about the most impressive...

1. Both Yates and, especially, Graham would have been great players in the offense they were recruited to run. In the unorganized smash-up the TFG and company put on the field … well, not so much. Players can be great when they fit what you're doing. Otherwise they have trouble; especially if...

He has a good deal of playing experience. He's fast. He weighs 247. That's 247. If you have any further questions, look at his roster bio from last year. Mind, I don't know if he would have started at Tech if he had stayed. Oth, he would have played a good deal, either starting or not. With...

I checked. He's on the roster at LB, all 6'3" and 247 pounds of him. Doesn't say if he's going to start there, but I bet he would at Tech.

You misunderstood me. I meant running "college" teams as minor league teams for NFL franchises. I think that would be workable, provided that fans would actually show up to see the games. But, hey, I'd like $100M and my own island resort too.

As long as the taxpayers don't have to pay for it, I'm ok with this. My beau ideal here would be that pro teams would fund sports (well, some of them) at the "professionalizing" schools and I wouldn't be taxed - as I am today - to put what are already quasi-pro teams on the field. Everyone who...

This would be a lot less of a question if TFG (and collaborators) hadn't chased off Knight. He would be starting and, with his athletic abilities, he should have been a good replacement for Thomas. But … maybe he still wanted a shot at QB. If Paul had stayed, who knows?

Provided, that is, that they don't decide to move him to TE. He's big enough and he can catch.

Yes, US football is actually pretty popular over there from what I read. The high schools don't have teams (in any sport), but a lot of small towns and cities do. Most of it is amateur. And guess what the Germans appear to particularly like about the sport. That would be the marching bands. As...

I liked this, even though I'm not sure you're right. I also see that we have talent on the squad, more on D then O perhaps. The main problem qacross the board is experience. We have yet to become the old team we need to be. I hope we are moving in the direction of being like Wake in retaining...

Yeah, me too. But I can see several games - UNC, Da U, maybe Wake - that we could win with bounces our way. Unfortunately, I also see some we could lose - Louisville, UVA - if we don't have luck. But … I have it on my quote board: Luck is the residue of design. - Branch Rickey Again, truer...

And a huge Amen. My sentiments exactly. We've made moves and they will probably, but not certainly, work out. And, given his record, I can't see firing Hall.

Well, I'm afraid it came from me. But I didn't mean it in a demeaning way. I was referring to the early 80's Red … sorry, Commanders WRs who delivered so well despite being way undersized for pro ball. Being called a Smurf is not a diminutive for football.

Well, I looked at all the X and O's above and it looked sorta like the dive we used to run with Paul. Problem = I didn't see anything that looked like deception in the run game yesterday. Obviously we didn't want the QBs - especially Pyron and King - to run to avoid risk of injury. But I sure do...

I couldn't go; I got a specific invitation from my granddaughter to see her play soccer. She had two long distance shots on goal and the second almost went in. So this is just impressions from the film. And thanks for posting that link. I think Dante is the obvious #1 RB. As said above, Felix...

I look at these rule changes and think, "Gee, I wonder how broad Paul's smile would be if he was still coaching?" They are absolutely made for running teams that depend on holding the ball. Shoot, the academies will eat this up. All told, I agree with those above: you want to speed up the game...
