Oh, My Dear Lord, yes! If we can improve here to normal it may mean two more wins. Let's hope we can find someone between Cimaglia and the other new kids and finally get the OL to block correctly, things will be much better almost immediately. I think that will happen and it sure will help.

Yes. Best example = O.J. in his first few years with the Bills. Until he got an OL that could, you know, block, he looked very ordinary. When he did … the rest is history.

Well … we'll see. Most of the folks mentioned have either limited game experience or (White) their experience was at a different level of competition. Clayton is the only one I'd call a legit prospect to take over on the other side from Domenic. He's looked good - not great, imho - in limited...

Very clever. And it does show ups and downs pretty well.

I'm late to this, but I think the jury is still out on Sims. As I've said before, I think there are essentially two different types of QBs: this who can throw long (think Dan Fouts) and those who can throw short/medium (think Joe Montana). (There's a third type, of course, who can throw...

I still remember the game - can't remember the opponent - when Davis went in for the first time as a frosh. Al switched to the sideline color guy - can't remember him either - who said, "Al, John Davis is just caving in his entire side of their line on every play!" He was good at that. And...

Right. My bad. The 1991 problem was losing Bell and Reese. Not that Jimy Lincoln was a slouch, but he was no William Bell.

I forgot to mention that I don't know if we have ever had a QB who could throw on the run like Shawn. I mean to tell you he could hum that ball without even planting his feet. Too bad that Bell and Reese both left Tech before the 1991 season. With those two guys in the backfield, Charley Ward...

I find it remarkable that in discussing 1990 nobody above mentions the best crew of WRs in Tech history. If we had the same guys today, Sims would hardly ever miss. The interesting thing is that the fastest of them - Lester - didn't even start. Oh, and the TEs were no slouch either. As in: No...

a) I'm sure they've done just that, in consultation with the docs. But no need to share that with a fan board. b) Yes, a thousand times. This is one of the hallmarks of trainers who know what they are doing. And it depends as much on experience as on method; the people I have worked with are...

Good. He's got talent (if his films are any indication) and there is absolutely no need to push it.

Yes, my bad. And, of course, I meant every word.

Legs could use a little work, but that's to be expected after a knee injury. Ok from the waist up, but that's not where you play football. And, yes, he should take the full six months. No need to risk re-injury by coming back too soon. There are others. And one of them should have been...

Oh? I think this list shows how important head coaching is. Vandy was good under Franklin, BC under O'Brien, Purdue under Tiller, Duke under Cutliffe (let's give the devil his due here), WSU under Leach, California under Tedford, OSU under Erikson (he's a crook, but he knows good football...

I'd put money first. Tech's a good example here. When Paul first became coach Tech was spending about the same as other ACC programs, except FSU. By the time he left, Tech was being outspent by Duke. This especially impacted recruiting, particularly identifying potential future recruits. The new...

I remember what Playboy said about Rock when he was named AA: "Perdoni terrorized quarterbacks last year." True and nobody did that better in all Tech history.

Yeah, I knew it was illegal (sorta) too. But I think the entire process of putting an athletic team together at the collegiate level is going to transform out of all recognition and in a pretty short time too. Alito's recent USSC concurring opinion on the NCAA's status as a regulatory agency...

I expect Jordan will draw a few more double teams this season then he did last year. I wouldn't be surprised to see him fight through that, however; speed klills.

Bingo. While most of teams's production isn't going to the portal, it will be interesting to see if that continues going forward. I'm guessing that most schools are holding off on going for starters at other schools for now, but how long will that last? I think going after Div 2 starters has...

Or, to put it more directly, we won't win six. Because the O won't change. That's what the current crew has been recruiting on. Oth, I think we could win six. But it will take some luck - not Pitt game in 2014 luck, but luck - to get there. Luck is something people around here seem to discount...
