The difference is improvement. If you look at Clawson's record, in all his coaching spots and add up his wins and losses for the first two years and you get a 32% win rate (30 - 68). Then you look at the next three years and you get a 64% win rate (88 - 50) and that includes 6 out of 11 seasons...

This one is easy. Let Collins have another year, fire him, and hire Dave Clawson. Problem solved. Provided, that is, that nobody has lured Clawson away from Wake by then. Unfortunately …

I hear you and I disagree with you as much as you disagree with me. Gibbs is a good RB, but our two best are Mason and Smith. Why waste talent like his when you could put it to use in the open field? "Trucking" a defender while putting up - let me check - -10 yards rushing isn't proof of too...

I couldn't watch the game (just as well), but I did see the condensed version. Impressions: 1. I said this once before and got all kinds of flak about it. MOVE GIBBS TO WR. AND START SMITH AT RB. Gibbs has always reminded me of the great Bama WRs; fast, elusive, and able to find a seam with th...

Look again. This isn't what Scott said. What the study found is that drunks (God knoweth) tend to revert to simple thought process and those lead to more conservative opinions. Actually, there's a ton of data that support this. It doesn't mean that all conservatives think simply, however; what...

The UNC game showed how to make Sims more effective: LET HIM RUN THE BALL. He's good at it and when he runs it inhibits the rush, Also, he doesn't force throws when he can use his feet instead. Like I said in another thread, against UNC we looked like KSU when Bill Synder was there: we ran the...

I just ran across this: https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/09/the-circle-of-sports-life-detroit-lions-edition Wiorth reading for everyone here (the mods will be shaking their heads in agreement from the first sentence). And, yes, I also become a raving lunatic when Tech loses a close...

I didn't mention this in my impressions since ti was, overall, a good game. But, yes, this needs to stop. Now we are hitting field goals (Thank You, Jeebus) and we get punts blocked. The kicking game still has awhile to go.

Ah, Larry Good. Probably the cutest running QB in Tech history. His teammates called his running style the "Camilla Shuffle" (he was from Camilla). And he could throw too! Thanks for the memories.

First, congratulations to the team and the coaches. I didn't think UNC should have been ranked, but it is nice to defeat a ranked team. Our prospects for the rest of the year now look better and the pre-season prognostications for the ACC have been revealed as absolute crap. I'd say we have a...

I picked UNC by 7 - 13. I think we are improving, but not enough to beat this outfit. I do expect a close game, however. We'll just have to see.

True. But so was my post. What it boils down to is that fans are fickle. Some coaches are too, but usually not for long. Btw, I remember seeing Chan's face when a reporter asked him if Reg had a strong enough arm to run the O. He looked over at O'Brien and both of them looked ta the reporter...

Yeah, me too. But most of the time that was because when people looked at Paul's QBs (that is who you are talking about, right?) they did so by comparing them to QBs on conventional spread teams, not by gaging whether they could actually, you know, win in the spread option. Same thing goes for...

This was very enlightening. But … I still like a triple option better. What gets me is that you can run TO plays from the spread, but we don't. It's a mystery to me, frankly.

I like Yates a lot and always have. I was very glad he decided to stick with his commitment when The Change took place. He would have been absolute murder in the spread option and he isn't shabby doing what he did in high school. Oth … The Clemson game was his second start. He also came in...

I don't much like the "Italian soccer" aspects of this penalty. I suspect that some players are learning about this kind of thing already, probably from each other. Oth, something like this was inevitable as the players got bigger and faster. I was taught to spear in high school, though my...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Yates is a leader. I watched the games where he led Milton to the state championship. He literally willed that team down field and to the championship. He's got it, whatever it is. I'm glad he's getting a chance to show that again on the collegiate level.

It's called a tuck in the gymnastics biz. I wonder if Yates ever took a class where he learned to do it. It doesn't come naturally.

I get so sick of this stuff. Sports teams are neither families or brotherhoods. They just aren't. They are competitive organizations that have a specific goal - winning - and should have that in mind more then what the relationships of the players and coaches are. In this, though not in much...

It's like Wayne Gretzky used to say. "A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be." Well, easy for him to say, but the same thing holds for great WRs. Jerry Rice wasn't all that physically talented, but he knew where to go so that the...
