Hard to recruit a good QB if you have someone who's an established starter coming back for a couple or three more years. Same problem we had when RB won ROTY as a freshman. Nobody wanted to come to Tech to sit behind an incumbent for several years.

OK. Let's say he's the worst OL coach in the history of the game. He's not trying out for that job. He's trying out for the HC job. Based on what I see, he's definitely in the running after 3 games.

I don't understand this. We are talent shy on offense, particularly without Sims. But the players play hard. People are in the right place. The play calls make sense. The strategy makes sense. The sideline decisions are solid. The ST have been cleaned up. What I'm saying is the coaches are...

You've seen the indoor/outdoor carpet used in boats and the occasional sunroom? That was 1970's turf. It was thin and was laid right over asphalt or concrete. Today's stuff has padding under it, has rubber crumb (or cork, or...) infill, and is softer than a traditional sod field. In the...

You were there. You, me, Scott, Wayne, and a few other miscreants.

When I was there (82-87) they threw us out time and time again for playing after hours frisbee and football. Also for tossing boomerangs in the dark. Catching a boomerang by listening to the sound it makes is quite a trick, by the way. I almost did it once.

Tech does better with "tough love" coaches than "my way or the highway" coaches. Besides, the highway (the transfer portal) has a pretty easy on-ramp these days, so you'd better have more than a "my way or the highway" relationship with the players or you'll be the one hitting the highway.

Scheme give an advantage. It does not guarantee wins. Talent x scheme x tactical decisions x execution is what drives the outcome.

See, you remembered!

Don't forget punting on 4th and 1 from Duke's 37 at the end of the 1st half.

You can always angle punts out of bounds. it might limit the upside, but limits the downside too.

54-54 is lookin' pretty good from here. Just sayin'.

I'd say "less polished" would be more accurate. At that point, BL looked and sounded more like the guy you want out front representing your school and team.

The 1990 National Championship team nearly broke down right before the Citrus bowl. Fundamentally, it came down to we/they issues where the less affluent players on the team (i.e. mainly the black players) took offense at the bowl trip where their more affluent friends had family there and had...

You think he's gonna take a pay cut?

I think we can be average if we do what everyone else does. Average means going 5 and 5 against the power 5 and beating two patsies. Sure, there is some upside and some downside to those numbers, but we need to do something different to be truly successful.

Doing what everyone else does only leads to success if you're more talented or much better coached than the other guy. The TO was a great twist for us. My biggest criticism of CPJ was that he was an old school recruiter, not someone who'd sell-out to sign a 18 year old.

Disney owns Hulu and YTTV is a direct competitor. How motivated is Disney to come to a reasonable deal with a competitor it would just as soon see disappear?

It is always the darkest right before it goes pitch black. I think that's a Jack Handy quote.
