I'm glad this is how things turned out. Sure, I'd have liked to see us play one more game, especially since we did beat da U last year. But there's no real point to it. Send the players home (or not, depending) and get ready for next year. I expect we'll do better in 2021; the schedule is much...

Yes, but it didn't happen as often last year when Graham was QB. For short/medium throws the story was different. Conclusion = at this point, Sims is more like Montana then Fouts or, more familiar to Atlantans, Chris Chandler. Long term, we'll see.

You mean the Criminole days? Ah, yes, I remember them well.

I think everybody is dancing around what I see as a major issue here: Sims has trouble with long throws. I'm not saying he doesn't have the arm or that he couldn't develop a facility if he had a better OL; both are true. But … some QBs are good at hitting long throws but have trouble with short...

Oh? So you think that the players who have incapacitated several teams already this season got or were exposed to the virus by … what, exactly? It's a lead pipe cinch that you would never hear from the programs that a player had been exposed by either a teammate or an opposing player. But …...

That's a mighty young lineup in several places. Thin too. Personally, I hope this turns out to be the last game. There's nothing left to prove, one way or the other, and there's no reason to expose the players to any more risks, now that the virus is exploding. But that's up to others.

It does, doesn't it? And folks here will be pleased when we get back to that. Of course, we did have that before …

Well, yes, but we did get the points. I agree with the lack of length, but at least Stewart is getting his kicks up enough so they don't get automatically blocked.

Not a bad performance, except where it counts. We lost the game because of penalties in the red zone. There were others, of course, but the ones down there were what hurt. If we get the game to 20 - 17 when we had the ball on the one twice, I think Tech goes on to win. But they had their chances...

I've said it before. It is extremely hard to rate DTs accurately. The best often don't show up until they reach campus, Sapp being the best example of that. The Suhs of the world - the natural all-star DTs - are few and far between and even he didn't start to show what he could do until he...

I would agree with the sentiments about Patenaude on he sidelines if he were like Fridgen or Paul. Both of them had offenses that they had a full command of and knew how to run them to take advantage of what the D was giving them. That's why they were on the sidelines; to watch the D, not the O...

I'm glad Clayton made this decision to get himself straight. This is sooooo much more important then football, especially when family relationships are affected. I hope he can get the help he needs and come back strong next year. But I really hope he gets the help he needs and recovers, football...

Good. I never understood why he was moved in the first place. He can really hit a hole. And, ye, if Gibbs and Mason can't go, Smith can do just fine. He's almost as fast as Gibbs and he runs harder.

As usual, I waited for the box score. This reminded me a lot of our game with Pitt in 2014. I said at the time that Cryst must have thought Tech had a voodon on our sidelines; every time they looked like they were going to get back into it, they would either have a penalty or a turnover...

The thing to remember here is that it isn't written in the stars that people we have playing OL now will play OL in the future. Indeed, I'd be surprised if we didn't play some musical chairs between this year and next; most of the people we have on OL played on D in high school and that is not...

And here's another article, also pretty good. See: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-do-college-football-dynasties-fall/ This has the virtue of being more comparative and the links are very interesting. It fits right in with this thread too. Has good news for Tech: we're in a real...

In a way, I agree. I remember the stretch from 2008 - 2011. There was plenty of "buzz" around the program and you could see it in the tailgates. It wasn't just Tech alums either. My son and his family are all Tech fans and so are my wife and I. None of us ever darkened a doorway at the place...

Not only that, but his grandfather was unbelievable! See: I love Fats! True, Darren is a better football player …

You've made a common mistake. You are equating having the qualifications to get into Tech with wanting to go there. These are two very different things and always have been. And the reason doesn't have much to do with not being "attracted to GT football" either. The problem is that Tech is still...

Interesting article. It did track Tech during Paul's time. When he was at Tech we won regularly and sometimes won big despite a very limited budget for the football program. And, since finances were stretched for all sports, it only took one AD who didn't understand the place the football...
