See: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32077089/proof-vaccination-negative-covid-19-pcr-test-required-enter-tiger-stadium As the story says, I was surprised that LSU, of all places, would take the lead on this. I know Kemp's orders on this might seem to prevail, but public...

As I've said before, I doubt any of them actually know what to expect. Pre-season talk is usually hype, though often not intentionally. Coaches will see how the team workouts and scrimmages are going and extrapolate from that. This is sort of like looking at your product line before you offer it...

I voted "wait and see". I know from past years that improvements in both lines are hard to see when you are playing inter-team. You never know until you play actual opponents. If we improve substantially on both lines and the kicking stabilizes at average, then we win more, no question. Here's...

Amen, brother.

And it paid off. I don't know if any of you remember Meyer's Utah teams when Smith was their QB, but they were essentially a trips running team, just like UF when Meyer had Tebow. True, both teams passed more then Paul's teams usually did (remember Vad Lee?), but these were triple option running...

The instructions say you can't do this because the barcodes will be too big to scan. And, of course, a lot of fans will show up at the games with tickets they printed out.

Don't, please, get me started.

Ditto. My sentiments exactly. I would only add that anybody who thinks that the administration or faculty at Tech will go along with a UNC-style athletic program for the sake of winning doesn't know them very well. The state has a strong interest in maintaining Tech's institutional rep as well...

I got them too and I have this to say about it. This won't work. I know Tech is all computer and mobile savvy and all that, but I anticipate snafus from the get-go. You thought the lines were long before. Just think what they will be like when you have multiple irate ticket holders whose...

They may have improved things. Th only time I was at MB was the Tech/UT game back in 2017. The experience sucked so bad I've never been back. And, btw, I left out the interminable walks to get in and out of the place. Thing to remember about South Bend = it is actually south Chicago. Some of my...

Yes, you're right. I know that coaches always try to talk up their charges's prospects before every season. That's one of the things I think any long standing fan should both be aware of and discount. And, like I said, it could be that every word of praise is true. I hope it is. But I wouldn't...

Or the option you didn't include: that I don't know if Marco is right or not. It doesn't have anything to do with dampening enthusiasm or not looking stupid. What it means is that I've been watching Tech football for over 45 years and I've heard similar things from Tech coaches before. Sometimes...

I don't apologize one whit for what I said about MB. The place sucks as a game venue. And I'm not negative, just a bit too realistic for some people we know.

My bad. I got the schedule wrong. Going to South Bend is a great idea and the stadium up there is great. I know several people who've been and they all had a great time.

There will be tickets available and I don't want to throw cold water on anybody's trip, but, imho, the seating and game experience at MB simply sucks big time. Try to get centrally located seats on the lower level; people higher up end up watching the game on a Jumbotron. And be ready for a...

Whenever I read an article like this, I am reminded that it isn't just Tech that could improve. Our opponents this year have a lot coming back on D and are working every bit as hard as we are to get better. Most of the people mentioned have very limited game experience. That means they could...

My sister went to UF back in Ray Graves's time there. The annual had a picture of Graves and his whole staff looking at the field in surprise and disgust. The caption: "Damn! We've got the ball again!" They were that bad on offense.

Very enjoyable thread! Thanks, Ran!!

I'd vote for it. The main reason cited above against is the length of tenure. But … by 1987 the era of 20 year coaching tenures was pretty much over. There were exceptions - Bowden, for instance - but turnover had become the rule of the day. Given that, I see the 1990 championship as the...

Ok, the highlights are pretty good. But Calvin never made a bette catch then this: Yeah, he's got skills alright.
