As long as Cabera keeps his back I think Batt could make that great decision. It's easier to take risks when you have support higher up. We'll see soon enough.

Yes and yes again. Most of the schools in college football would kill to have a program as successful as Tech's has been over the years. That's why the gloom and doom doesn't effect me; Tech averages seasons that other schools can only dream of, especially schools with limited curricula and/or...

One addition = the reason places like Ugag can schedule more patsies is that the payoff for playing them is so large. They are essentially buying wins. Personally, I look forward to the day when Tech can start doing that again.

I see the reasoning here, but I hope you are wrong. If Batt is looking over his shoulder, he will make as conservative and defensible a choice as he can to stop his seat from heating up. And that, imho, will lead inevitably to his seat heating up. What I'm hoping is that he will realize that he...

1. Otis Sistrunk and about 15% of all NFL players say hi. Belichek notwithstanding. 2. FIFY above. I agree, but I don't think losing to factory programs is going to up Tech's recruiting presence. Imho, the first thing you need to do to attract recruits is win. A good example is Justin Thomas...

Main reason not to hire him, imho. If I could double like a post, I'd double like this.

Depends on how many players stay, doesn't it? If we only lose Sims (and I think we will) and a couple of others, then I'd say three years. A two year schedule is way too soon, imho. Anyone we bring in except Key is going to lead to a whole lot of change in a very short time. Everybody I would...

Eggsackley. At my old college, we regularly ranked in the low to mid 90s on student engagement and in the 70s in academic challenge. The response of my colleagues and the administration was to say we ought to build on what we were doing well and double down on engagement. I pointed out - and got...

Beats the living daylights out of - let me check - 13 wins in four years, now doesn't it? I can never get over the way people were pleading for a coach who would lead us to the heights every now and then all through the Gailey years, got him, and then started whining about how we were "excepting...

And of our three RBs who had the most yards per carry? Again? Smith, of course. For the sake of all that's holy, give the guy 20 carries and let's see what happens. RB by committee simply stalls out the RBs without getting them into the flow of the game.

Uh, the players have never given any thought to the fans. Like all team sports, those on the field want to win for their team and their teammates. They could care less about the fans who are usually more of a distraction then a help. (Well, ok, a team can feed off the fans reaction, but they...

FIFY. See: It can happen. IT WILL!

Too bad about Pyron's injury. I thought he needed another year in the weight room. I think he would be a much better QB in an option scheme than in the vanilla spread Tech runs, however. He's mobile and with more strength could be very dangerous. Also, he can throw well. I've said here before...

1. Yes. I've been saying for years that Tech need to start scheduling to win not to lose. But … we keep doing it. If scheduling to win means dumping Ugag for awhile, then so beat. We dumped Awbun and UT after very long series. I don't think we can dump Clemson, however. And, btw, if the team...

You know, I wish you weren't right. I think Key could deliver for us and I've been a fan of his since his playing days, but new kids on top usually means bad news for the people already in place below. Sometimes that's good and often its bad; I don't know one way or the other about Tech's...

If you are like me, you are sitting among a collection of old guys and people who got their tickets for one game, usually off other old guys. I think if we want a younger fan base - and we had better - we need an O with real sizzle. For Tech that has always meant deception and not much else...

1. That's too bad. He's so inconsistent having him back there is a plus. 2. Give Smith the ball 20 times. Or, let me put it differently: GIVE SMITH THE BALL 20 TIMES!! I fail to see why the coaches don't do this every game. 3. This is true. They have turned over the ball at a frightening rate...

Or you could just get LibreOffice and do all this stuff for free. It has: Word processing, spread sheet, presentation, drawing formula-writing, and database capabilities and I believe I mentioned this is all free. You can also use the Apple apps that code with the machine. I use those and LYX...

I think this is correct. The way to beat da U is to go out and play good D then score up to our max for the year. That should do it, provided we don't have any special teams breakdowns. But, imho, the way to beat UNC is to play good D and sit on the ball like a slug. Something like the 2003...

Unfortunately, I agree with the leatherneck. (It happens. You can check.) I'd love to see us go to a bowl and beat da U and UNC. But I don't think it's going to happen. We might very well beat Miami, but I'd rate the game a tossup. If we play like we did against Duke we can win, but I'm not...
