Hear, hear. Answering a cell phone is a matter of choice, just like answering an e-mail or a land-line call. If you don't want to answer, don't. I don't feel any duty at all to most callers - my phone ids them - and I often go a whole day without the thing. When others intrude on my personal...

I used go to every game with my son and/or granddaughters or daughter-in-law. Then I went to the Citadel game in 2019. I was so upset at the behavior go the team on the field and on the sidelines (if I see a "juice box" at a Tech game again, I'll puke) that I left at the half. As I said (yelled...

I'm glad we're all clear on that.

1. Coke is a real product with real demand. The crypto craze is more like the Dutch tuple mania. It's ok to take a flier, but you have to be careful on what. 2. I'm not against trying something new, especially after the last three years. And I was pleased as punch when Paul came to Tech. But …...

We've just seen how that worked out with crypto.

We've already seen what going with the donor base will get us over the last three years. If we don't win at least 5 (could happen, but probably won't), get rid of Collins (probably will happen), and don't hire Dan Mullen (since so many would object to Moncken), then TStan should be ridden out of...

I think John McKay put it best after USC lost to ND 51 - 0: "I told my team it doesn't matter. There are 750 million people in China who don't even know this game was played. The next day, a guy called me from China and asked, 'What happened, Coach?'"

I also found some of the figures fuzzy. This made me doubt the particular ratings for colleges. Oth, I don't doubt the gross findings, if expressed as ranks instead of particular estimates. The SEC is first and so on. Btw, I hated the graphs. The main problem is their use of color. Some times...

I agree. I think we can get 7 or 8 a year and sometimes better, like VT. But … like you say, we have to win first.

Yes to this and the comparison with Wisconsin. Having an AD who wasn't going to support your program doesn't help one bit. I've never understood hiring him. And, actually, I think Paul put in a good effort in recruiting. The main thing with him, however, was to concentrate on the players that...

Bleak, isn't it? The OOC games certainly don't help. What is wrong with the people making up Tech schedules?

I agree, but so was Tech. And we would have had the advantage of playing a team that hadn't seen anything like the spread option for … well, forever. That would have been, imho, a great equalizer. Also, while we didn't have a great D, it was ok. That's all Paul ever wanted. Like he said many...

He's got my vote. About the only thing Paul didn't deliver at Tech is a national championship. And I think we came within 2 points of doing that in 2014. If we had beat FSU, it would have been an even bet, imho, against the Bama team that year and same for OSU. But … we didn't recover that on...

I played football back in the Dark Ages. I played both high school (big Atlanta version) and small (believe it) college. I had to quit after the beginning of my sophomore year due to a knee injury that wouldn't come around. (There was, of course, nothing like modern treatment tech; it was all...

Eggackley. The assumption behind all of this ai that the NIL deals will automatically load up some schools with all the talent. Would that all of human life were that predictable. My guess is that schools that don't look like perenial contenders will turn out to be just that due to a combination...

An aside. I had a student a few years back who, on a lark, applied to Harvard Law. (He did it because his Mom said sh'd pay for it.) This guy had graduated from our college with a 2.4 grade average and scored in the mid-50s on the LSAT. He made the final cut at Harvard. Why? Well, first he had...

This is roughly the same, imho, of saying that there is no constituency for winning. If I may: • Tech is now after the same players as everyone else and "preparing for the NFL" is, I agree, at the bottom of that choice. Problem = we recruited good talent that went to the NFL just this year -...

I agree that Paul would have had a pretty good QB room with Graham, Oliver, and Yates. I don't know who would have won out, but I doubt it would have been Yates. Paul liked experienced QBs so it would probably have been Oliver, then Graham.But he didn't recruit Yates to play his first year; he...

Hmmmmm. Yet the O run by one coach we know literally begged to have the DL play close to the LOS and still ran for top 10 yardage in virtually every year. In that O - you know, the one he was recruited to run - I think Yates would have been another Rickey Dobbs. As a redshirt frosh in the O we...
