    Ok lets see who is honest.

    Two weekends in a row I’ve missed the game because of packing and moving. Last week, I said, “Well as tiring as this is, at least I didn’t have to watch the Jackets get blown out by Bowling Green.” Yesterday, I was checking on ESPN gamecast between moving boxes. I’m just glad we won. I had said...

    ACC Standings

    Monken would have done better than Collins, but it would have been difficult for him to recruit with the option stigma still persisting. Satterfield wouldn’t have been amazing, but I think he would have done a little better than Collins. Whisenhunt would have probably been a different kind of...

    So basically Collins was our equivalent to Southern’s Brian Van Gorder? I could see that.

    GT @ Wake Kick Time: 6:30pm on the CW

    Agreed. Whether the fix is schematic depends on what problem we’re trying to solve. Poor tackling? Not gonna be fixed by scheme; there’s no such thing as a defensive scheme that doesn’t require its players to make tackles. Lack of pressure, on the other hand, can be helped by scheming better...

    ProJackets Update

    I remember hanging out with a group of friends that included a player’s girlfriend while I was at Tech, and she mentioned a couple players who had addiction problems. It’s a difficult thing to get through, and it can be difficult to help. Congratulations to Darren on his recovery, and good luck...

    GT @ Wake Kick Time: 6:30pm on the CW

    Do we know whether it will be nationally televised on CW or whether it will only available in certain regions?

    Missed Tackles

    I think it depends on the individual and what the thought patterns are. Different people respond differently to the same situation. One guy might respond by thinking “I’m going to make this tackle just like we practiced!” Another might think “Oh man, I better not miss this tackle or else the...

    Louisville Post Game

    Sometimes a coach knows the right adjustments to make, but the players aren’t ready to execute those adjustments. I imagine there was a bit of that going on in the game, especially given that we’re installing a new offense. It’ll be up to the coaches to have our guys ready to execute against the...

    Game one Uniforms vs Louisville

    Maybe it was a different color or was less shiny or the jerseys were made of a different fabric? Just some guesses. Do you have any photos for reference?

    Game one Uniforms vs Louisville

    People keep talking about the shades of gold not matching, but it’s not as easy as they think matching colors on different materials with different textures, especially when it’s supposed to be somewhat shiny like gold.

    Tech vs. Louisville

    No wonder the media always got predictions wrong when CPJ was here. Especially his last few years, we were really up and down! No wonder the talking heads hated us.

    Pre Fall: Projected Depth Chart

    One thing that I think will be a big factor in WR snaps is ability to beat press coverage. Typically you would want bigger, stronger receivers on the line of scrimmage, but if some of our smaller speedier receivers can develop techniques to avoid getting jammed at the line, it will allow for...

    Tech's Likelihood of Winning

    To me, this reinforces the value of point spreads as a format for predicting football games. I would characterize most of our games as tossups, but to look at these probability numbers, it makes it seem as though we’re going to get spanked by Syracuse and Wake Forest. We may lose both of those...

    Fine. Let me correct myself: “I’m so glad that teams with way more money than us are leveraging it wdismantle our roster in a way that would get our program the death penalty if we were to do the same! Isn’t it so fun watching georgie buy back-to-back national championships? I really want to...

    I know that everyone knows tampering is going on and does nothing about it, but this is starting to feel like very intentional, targeted tampering with our program in particular. This is perhaps getting to the point where an investigation may be warranted. Is Kiffin still that bitter about...

    Eddie Kelly should provide some good depth at SDE, which we’ve been a bit light at lately. Really, Sylvain should be playing at WDE, but he seems to be the only guy we feel confident in having play significant snaps at SDE with Keion gone.

    Akelo "Rolling" Stone makes his way to the portal

    I suspect tampering. The NCAA is giving so little oversight on the portal that it wouldn’t surprise me if teams are scouting other teams’ spring games to look for potential players to poach.

    2023 predictions part 2: POST SPRING GAME

    The exciting thing is that there’s more than one way to get speedy receivers the ball. Leary is going to be deadly on jet sweeps and jet sweep motion, not to mention inverted veer.

    Article Updates to Pregame Activities

    As long as the trombones get to line the stairs by the library and tell people they’re going the wrong way, this could work. But I agree with the other poster that Calloway Plaza is still a more ideal location long term. The logistics of getting the band to the farthest corner of the stadium...

    2023 predictions part 2: POST SPRING GAME

    I’d actually be reasonably happy if we were their only loss of the season. It would drive them absolutely nuts! On the other hand, I’d rather they just lose every game they play
