Yes. When I see people complaining about how "mediocre" Tech football is I get a bit steamed. There is nothing mediocre about winning 7 games and going to a bowl game. There is nothing mediocre about consistently having a winning record in our P5 conference. Indeed, most of the teams in Div 1...

So far it looks like you are wrong.

It's the oldest recruiting maxim there is: "Don't recruit problems." Tech has raised entrance standards to avoid problems; no need for a flunk 'em culture when you are getting good students across the board. I think this is a good approach, regardless of what you are recruiting for. And, yes...

I never had the high expectations of Key that others here had. If you are a competent coach, you should succeed at Bammer; they don't recruit, they pick. Oth, I did think - and still do - that he is a competent coach and that we'll see continuing improvement in the OL as the youngsters mature...

I hope Mills gets his chance in the NFL and I think he will. His running style is what most NFL teams ar looking for and - always a plus - he can block. Oh, and btw, if Dedrick had stayed at Tech, Paul would still be coach. I remember that when he was fired (that's what Dodd called it), I...

We had two, actually. Fridge told Godsey that if he didn't quit sidearming the ball, he'd never start. Sure enough, he started getting the mechanics right and the rest is history.

My favorite all time Gailey game was the 2003 Maryland game. Tech won 7 - 3 in Fridge's first game back at Grant Field as Terps HC. We did just what I said: Tech scored early, played good D, and say on the ball like a slug. I especially like the last part; nothing like getting ahead and then...

People are always saying this about Reg. The thing to remember is that Gailey was a pro coach. That meant that he wanted to get ahead, play good D, and sit on the ball like a slug. Reg took risks and threw too many interceptions for Chan's taste. So he got taken to the woodshed and told that if...

I know that a lot of you might not agree, but I'd hire Gailey as recruiting coordinator. He had the best eye for talent of any Tech coach in recent memory. Well … of any Tech coach in recent memory who wasn't running a system offense, that is.

Or, to put it another way, I should pay higher insurance rates so you can drive around without a seat belt. Thanks; I believe I'll pass on that.

Hold it there, big fella! I never said people obeyed the speed limit. They are there to lower average speed, not to set an actual limit. And for that they work. As the study you linked shows. I stand corrected on federal regulation of limits, however, and now wish Congress had never stopped...

He's not quite as good in traffic as Bush was. Yet. But he's got time.

Hadn't thought of that and I should have. You could be right.

Oh, Jeebus. 1. There was no transfer regime like this when Paul was coach so there is no reason to compare the present to his time at Tech. 2. Tthe reason why the players transferred is almost certainly because they didn't think they would see the field at their first choice. Why does anyone...

There's a reason why they left. It could be for a variety of things, but their assessment of their chances to see the field has to have played a large part in the decision. Whether that means they won't see the field at Tech is another story, but every transfer has to fight the players the...

1. Yes. I can understand why this is done; it levels the ranking to a single standard and, after all, the rankings for transfers are for high school, not their play in college. Still, it does affect the "class" rankings. Provided, that is, that you actually think those are anything close to...

Yes. I see him as being sorta like Cottrell. On nobody's radar until he got to the combine, then, all of a sudden … But I may be selling the pro scouts short. He's what some teams are looking for, a fast beast.

And you have just given the main reason that college football players will be represented by player's unions pretty soon now. Other sports too, of course. If you allow what is in effect free agency, that is the inevitable (imho) consequence. This doesn't bother me all that much; I'd love to...

I think you are right and they are simply too scared of what will happen. He's 6'3", 215 (unless they are - heaven forbid - lying to us); he isn't going to be knocked out of a game without a monster hit. He could be another Alex Smith if he got the chance. You never have a comparable QB in...

I won't rate Sims at this stage; it wouldn't make any sense. I will say a few things about him, however. • He is inconsistent on long throws. We'll see, but he doesn't look like a QB who can burn you regularly at 40+ yards. But, as I said before elsewhere, neither was Joe Montana. • For the...
