This will date me. I knew Kin King in high school and played against him twice. He was bigger then anybody on our DL. I remember him throwing a pass in one of our games with two of our guys hanging on him. Completed it too.

I need to 'fess up here. I graduated from Sewanee and played football for a year under Shirley Majors (Johnny's dad) until my knee gave out. (None of this arthoscopic business in those days; you were expected to suck it up. I played out the year, then quit on doctor's advice.) The year before I...

And you have to watch the 6th hole (there are only 8). If you overshoot the green by even a bit it goes over a 100 foot cliff. It is a Tennessee Hogwarts.

With: Free Beer for Everybody!!

Wait a minute. Don't we want to increase the presence of Tech football in Atlanta? Don't we want to increase the number of sidewalk fans? That means: Free Beer for Everybody!! You never know; it might work!

I might also mention that the kick would have been good from 55. Easy. The guy has a leg alright.

If this was any system but ours I might agree. But remember there are 538 members of Congress, most of them from states that don't have top 10 - 15 football programs or from states that have those and other programs (think Michigan and Michigan State or Oregon and Oregon State) that want to be...

I always liked Bob Devaney's take on this. As he once said, "I don't want to cheat so much that we get penalized. Just enough to be investigated." We may be beyond that. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The choice is easy: either the NCAA regulates football or Congress will. If the...

I wish I thought this made a difference. I doubt that it does.

Sinclair has been hard to figure out for some time. I'd love to see their actual books, just once would be all it would take. I doubt this will have much effect on Tech sports on tv. As was said above, someone will pick Tech up. How much is another story.

I enjoy watching the films of those teams. If Vad hadn't transferred I think Tech's O would look more like the one at Hawaii. As in: Ah, what could have been! I was really looking forward to the 2014 season. Then Vad transferred and … Tech goes 11 - 3 and wins the Orange Bowl. Would Vad have...

Yes, but Leahy was right.

As Frank Leahy told his team before Notre Dame played Tech in Clint's freshman year, "Gentlemen, you are about to face the most dangerous runner in America." Leahy would have known, I'd say.

I once compared Tony to OJ. Same size (Tony was an inch shorter, but about 10 lbs heavier), same speed, same style of running. Same tempo too: 4 yards, 3 yards, 30 yards, 5 yards, etc, He would have won the Heisman that year if he hadn't been so badly injured; he was way ahead of other RBs in...

Left out John McKay. My favorite = a reporter asked him once about Tim Rossovich. McKay "Ah, Timmy! A smart boy. A hard working boy. But, above everything else, a very, very mean boy." True too. And, btw, congratulations to Paul. If any coach ever deserved the HOF, he's the one. I'll always...

My expectations are limited for next year. My main concern is the new O staff. We don't know what Key has it in mind to run or how effective it will be. Our O talent is also limited, especially at WR. Further, while the OL performed better as the year went on, it never reached the point where it...

Well … I'd be in favor of a - shall we say - humanly produced fluid in the balloons.

Yes. And here's the main effect of that: https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/23 NB: three of the first four teams are spread option outfits. They didn't all have great years - though Air Force went 10 - 3 - but running the ball wasn't that much of a problem. Btw, the Falcons...

Hope you're right. Bet you aren't.

I've never been more embrassed for Tech or Tech football then I was at that game. The lack of discipline on the field, the lack of focus on the sidelines, the "juice box", the endless confusion about game management, the mis-use of players … almost the entire game was a cause for shame. When...
