    Way too Early 2023 Predictions

    Something just occurred to me - This is the first time in 3 years where I've believed a take like "worst-case scenario of 4-8." Under TFG, after that first season I realized there were no guaranteed wins. Many kept posting pre-season "worst case scenarios" having 3 wins, etc - but seriously...

    2023 ACC News & Discussion

    Yeah - the tweet asked "Any surprises?", and that was the first that came to mind.

    Right. While I wish him luck, I'm certainly not torn up over him transferring. Nevermind the stacked WR room - he left the team after Collins was fired. He might have had a more prominent role if he had stepped up and played. But since he chose to walk away at the time...don't let the door hit...

    Garrett Riley . . .

    Problem was, based on all discussion (none of it substantiated, of course), it seems like Riley wasn't going anywhere until he wrapped up the season. Sounds like he had a few suitors, but he was headed for the CFP, and understandably wasn't ready to walk away from that. Based on that lone, I...

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    Jumping back to it, I don't remember seeing it anywhere on this thread (may have missed it) - but it would appear that Paul Johnson is the fourth College Football Hall of Fame Coach to have the head coaching job at Tech (after Bobby Dodd, Bill Alexander, and John Heisman), correct?

    Wasn't committed to anyone but uGA. We had a bit of a mix-up on the board when people thought we were in his Top 5, but then realized Penn State had made the cut and we hadn't. We probably would have been, but it seems the attention growing from all the factories pushed us out. Still, would be...

    Way too Early 2023 Predictions

    Agre Agreed. Air Raid was also a 'gimmick' system, designed by Hal Mumme (along with Mike Leach) to give teams with lesser talent an edge over those who had more resources. And now most college teams and a number of pro teams use parts of, if not their entire, system. A "gimmick" is...

    Way too Early 2023 Predictions

    Agreed. Charlottesville has almost always been a spooky place for us, save that 1990 year and a couple of others.

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    He won 2 national championships almost every year at UGA. (The national championship in recruiting and the preseason national championship.) ;)

    Conference Realignment

    This is what I was going to bring up. Thinking back to Spurrier: "I sort of always liked playing them that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended."

    Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    Agreed 100% on CPJ. I do hope Friedgen doesn't get overlooked. One of the greatest offensive minds of his time. Was light years ahead of the rest of the pack - and (much like CPJ) knew how to make adjustments to compliment the resources he had, as well as to stifle the defensive wrinkles the...

    Glad to hear that! I think something Key said at a press conference made it sound like Zach’s injury was worse than it seemed at first - but Key was using a lot of pronouns in that section of the press conference, so it was difficult to tell who he was talking about. Absent any clear news, I...

    Connelly crowns the true CFB champion from 16 split or controversial titles

    In this case, it was more biased by the fact that the writer went to Mizzou. But I’ll take it.

    General News about Key and his Staff

    I was wondering about this, too. That being said, Sherrer was named Co-DC, as opposed to DC - so if they know he's leaving, they're either doing him a solid by not reporting it yet...or nothing's final. I've said before that I was completely wrong about Thacker - the way the D came together...

    General News about Key and his Staff

    Take this with a grain of salt, as even I could probably recruit well given access to uGA's bag men resources...but still, not bad. https://247sports.com/college/georgia/Article/Georgia-Bulldogs-Kevin-Sherrer-jumps-into-top-25-of-nations-recruiters-with-Adam-Anderson-109170321/ And when he...

    Stansbury hired at NCSU

    This. IMO, he unfortunately had already made his bed by this point owing to the contract he had signed with CGC. And knowing more than most of us fans about the budget of the AA, he likely had to double down. It's hard - I still think that CGC's agent raked us over the coals, because "no one...

    General News about Key and his Staff

    I'm a bit shocked to see this news - like many of us, I thought most of the D was solid in the back half of the year. So I agree - all these factors and Kelly's tweet lead me to think this may be an upgrade. And if that's the case, I'm back to being anxious (and also excited) again. Dammit...
