  1. GT: Wide Receiver U tradition continues?

    NFL loves raw players that have buku potential (i.e. Stephen Hill and Darrius Heyward-Bey come to mind). If he shows enough play-making ability and has the measurables that the NFL covets (6'+ tall, 220+ lbs and runs sub 4.40), he will definitely get drafted. Who would have thought Stephen...
  2. Hypothetical Backfield

    Ya...... Wouldn't you want a tough hard-nosed runner with some speed like Gurley at the B-back position? Also, sorry for putting it in the "GT Football" section. My intention was to put this in the "Swarm Lounge" section since its really not about GT football per se.
  3. Hypothetical Backfield

    I was watching a clip of DeAnthony Thomas and was thinking, "Man! This guy would be the perfect A-back!". Well, his running ability not so much his blocking. Don't know if he even knows how to block. At any rate, this got me thinking, who are the all-time greats that you would like to see...
  4. Sting Daily: The Sweet Smelter of Success

    Negative. Reference: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/demaryius-thomas-1/gamelog/ I'm surprised as well since he's had a lot of big plays.
  5. Interesting Read, Duke & UNC

    Normally against Georgia Tech, there aren't many drives at all because their drives are so long and methodical. I wonder who much truth there is in this statement? Against Duke, our longest drive was approx. 7 and a half minutes and it looks like our average drive was around 4:00 minutes and...

    Noted link is the account of "Go Georgia Tech" and he has uploaded games from the 1999, 2006, 2008, and 2012 season (12 videos in total): http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_cuIgJrtRIoL9GXYpuXQg/videos 2006 ACC Championship game: GT vs. Wake 1999 GT vs. FSU 2008 Miss St vs. GT 2008 Duke vs. GT...
  7. WRs in Duke game

    In the past, the only way any of the receivers got to 100+ yd receiving in a game was that they had 2 catches that went for big gains. Usually we don't have any one catch more than 3 in a game. I don't think we'll have anyone catch for over 100+ yds but I would expect at least 3 guys to have...
  8. How do you evaluate a head football coach at Tech?

    Well ya that's criteria number 1 for any football coach but I think what Bruce is saying is, what other criteria should be used to evaluate the HC at Tech. I mean, if winning was all that mattered, we might as well oversign, have tutors do our players HW and tests, have guys we don't think can...
  9. Do you hold scholarships all the way to signing day?

    I believe its a judgement call on whether to keep a scholly open for an elite recruit who's waiting til NSD to decide. I'm sure if the coaching staff talks with the recruit and perhaps his family, they can get a sense of whether they have a chance or perhaps they need to be looking else where...
  10. How do you evaluate a head football coach at Tech?

    Back to the topic on hand........ Bruce Wayne, I like your two criteria but I would also add a third which would be how well the coaching staff adapts to the changes happening around them. Some examples I can think of under CPJ: *utilizing social media more for communicating with the...
  11. How do you evaluate a head football coach at Tech?

    The biggest problem I had with CCG was his inability to recruit and develop a QB. I think if there was a QB that would have supplanted Reggie Ball, CCG might still be a coach here. Reggie Ball was a 4-year starter and no one couldn't supplant him on the depth chart even with stats like these...
  12. CPJ's Comment on no Top-10 Recruiting Classes at Tech

    To be in the top 25 would definitely be tough. First, we know the "factory" schools will always be in the top-25 so that eliminates a good number of spots. Let's see, ACC: FSU, Miami, Clemson Big Ten: Ohio State, Michigan Big 12: Oklahoma, Texas Pac-12: USC, Oregon SEC: Alabama, Georgia, LSU...
  13. Elon game thoughts

    There's a youtube video uploaded already of the game in its entirety.
  14. Elon game thoughts

    So, did buzz really do all the push-ups during this romp? From my calculations (yes I did a quick calc of it) it adds up to 385 total push-ups.
  15. Waller and Henry suspended for week 1

    Then its a negative. I believe that Bebe, Hill, Peeples and Smith are the only ones with 100+ yds receiving. Jeff Greene came within 6 yards of joining that club when he went 3 rec 94 yards against Presbyterian.
  16. Waller and Henry suspended for week 1

    Orwin Smith had 2 rec for 108 yards and 5 carries for 157 yards against Kansas in 2011.
  17. Waller and Henry suspended for week 1

    Smh. Only opens up the door more for Smelter, Dennis, and Summers to snatch up those starting spots (although it seems that Summers already had one of the starting spots). Here's hoping that those 3 take this opportunity and do some good things this coming Saturday. Its more of a setback...
  18. Need to improve marketing

    We need to start off by sending that kid who did the convocation out on a 50 city tour around the US.
  19. The new DL is chewing up our OL

    I hope it was our DL that chewed up the O-line and not the tackling dummies or the sleds.
