    Our Balanced Offense...

    My only point was that, despite being rush-oriented offense, we accomplish via toss and pitch what others intend to by way of screens, dumps, and other short passes...

    Our Balanced Offense...

    I think a sweep more closely resembles a backwards screen pass than a handoff...

    Our Balanced Offense...

    I think some might have made this point before, but I just wanted to make the observation that we really do run a more balanced attack that the stats reflect for one simple reason - the only passes that count as such are forward passes... I bet if you counted the rocket tosses and the plays...

    Happy Father's day!

    At 51, I didn't think it was in the cards for me... Needless to say, sitting here with my new little Jacket makes this quite a special day... I wish everyone so blessed all the happiness in the world...

    CPJ sez...

    You all have more screenshots of CPJ getting in player's faces? I'm 51, but I can still imagine what it's like to be a 20 year old kid and have that man get up in your face that way - must really get their attention...

    Favorite Counter run, run

    This makes me think CPJ calling plays is like a skilled angler deciding which tackle to use... :-)

    Last Year's UGA Game

    Along with the crappy "fumble" calls, I think I was most incensed with the repeated molestation of snapper on the blocked field goal and extra point in OT... No way those were legal plays...

    How did you become a TECH fan?

    My Dad went to Tech in the 50's, and growing up, I admired the yellowjacket model airplane he flew at halftime that hung in our basement: Other earliest memories include the GT alumni association sticker in the back window of the 1965 Mustang he bought new (and which I now have - the sticker...

    ACC HC Salaries

    One more thing to point out regarding the economic way of looking at this: prices are signals that communicate information related to the scarcity of valuable resources... They let us know what is valued by people we don't know and therefore cannot ask... CPJ commands a high salary because...

    Yellow Jackets 12-0, nationally ranked

    Stupid games = hockey (field & ice), lacrosse, polo (horse & water), soccer, and any other sport with a goalie... Tennis, baseball, football, and golf are the only legitimate sports... Basketball once qualified as a decent game, but once it devolved to street-thuggary, it too become...

    Yellow Jackets 12-0, nationally ranked

    Wasn't that stupid game invented by the Creek Indians? I believe they used the sticks to literally crush skulls...

    Still not sure what clean fashioned hate is, old or otherwise... :-)

    Old, Clean-Fashioned Hate...

    Every time I watch the final seconds of the coverage of The Game, I cringe when I hear that ESecPN doofus say it... BWAHAHA...

    Best option pitch from 2014...

    One thing I think fails to get mention enough is the outstanding ball security this past year... Our pitches, be they option, rocket toss, or whatever, are out equivalent to the short possession passes most teams use - except, if we drop it's a fumble instead of an incomplete pass... Anyone...

    Best option pitch from 2014...

    My nominee would be the insanely late pitch in the UGag game, where JeT drew in the outside defender, got picked up, and managed to get it out over the defender's shoulder to the a-back... Remarkable ball handling...

    How long you keep last year's games?

    One thing I like about what I have on DVR is the surround sound... Great way to relive the moment...

    Rams looking at Shaq?

    When I read criticism of this sort (i.e., technique), I wonder if our coaches are already trying to correct the flaws (assuming the criticism is justified) - and the player is just not doing it the way they want... Or are they just teaching a technique the writer regards as flawed?
