Ok, including Ross was pretty bad. But … this clowns also included R. C. Slocum and Charlie McClendon. The Aggies have been regretting getting rid of R. C. ever since they, in a fit of pique, decided to fire him. McClendon was only the winningest coach in LSU history. And these two are only the...

Well, this is too bad. Personally, I think James would have done as good a job as Sims at QB this year, if he had started. People tend to forget that he was hurt most of last year and had started to come on toward the last. Also, he was one of the best high school QBs in recent Gorgia history. I...

Admittedly, this is subjective. When I played ball the rule was to pay attention to the coaches, be ready, watch the game and think about your position, and keep the level of conversation as low as possible. You were, iow, on deck and you had to act like it, unless somebody made a big play. When...

1. Yes, they do. 2. Yet Paul came in and won 9 games with a teem built around a preset offense. And all the experts thought it would mean years of rebuilding before Tech got better, if it did. Recall that a lot of experts thought the spread option wouldn't work in a P5 league. 3. I agree that...

I saw the same teams. When Bama beat Nebraska in the 1966 Orange Bowl, the biggest player on their OL was Cecil Dowdy, all 6'1", 215 lbs of him. (He was an AA OT, btw.) They flayed Nebraska. Tech used to be like that. I also remember when Tech went out to LA and beat USCw. Their players were...

In a way, I'm glad this is happening. The way the virus is spreading now makes it more dangerous then ever to play football, even if the stands are empty. Maybe the current surge will subside and we can get on with the season, but I wouldn't count on it. Too bad, though. I was looking forward...

Nobody disputes that we can hit the jackpot occasionally. The question is whether we can do it consistently. The jury is out on that. Today, 247 has us ranked about 40th in the country. I don't believe that is an accurate reflection of the player we have convinced to come to Tech for reasons...

So can Sims. But wait! Hold it! I'm assuming that our coaches will, you know, actually design a few plays where he can run then, you know, actually use them in a game! That would make us more effective on the ground and open things up more in the passing game! Nah.

I'm a broken record (that dates me) on this, but this also seems about right. Da U is ok this year - certainly a better team then Tech - but they aren't world beaters. I think our problem will be their rush. I watched their VT game and they get a very substantial push from their DL. If your QB...

Last night I watched Professor T on PBS here in Atlanta. This is an extremely interesting and innovative tv drama that I think all of you would enjoy. It is set in Antwerp and the whole show is in Flemish. The Professor is a criminologist at the local university and works with the police...

Now, now. He's on his honeymoon. He's got enough snark to contend with already.

Well … our talent was fine, as far as it went. On Meyer, to take his first big jobs as examples. He inherited Alex Smith at Utah. Enough said. Then he went to Florida and inherited Chris Leak. Enough said, squared. He didn't recruit either one of these players, but he knew a winner when he saw...

There aren't. There are a lot of public general universities "… with good academic reputations who put much more of an emphasis on sports than we do who have no problem attracting students and grant money." The only other engineering institution that even fields a Div 1 football team is Rice...

If the next guy had been, say, Jeff Moncken, quite a lot. If it had been Bo Bohannon, quite a lot. If it had been Willie Fritz, quite a lot. If it had been Steve Satterfield, enough. But, as you say, we didn't hire them. Instead we hired a guy who will be lucky to have won 6 games in the last...

Here's Tech's problem. This is an excerpt from John Thompson's posthumous biography: "College sports has a lot of hypocrisy. I believe it’s time for the N.C.A.A. to stop pretending that education is its top priority and pay college athletes. Universities are supposed to be educational...

Didn't mean this. Look above.

Unfortunately for you and "The Fanbase", Tech's administration, faculty, student body and, most important of all, the General Assembly don't share these goals. There is simply no way that we can do the kinds of things you are talking about without damaging Tech's academic reputation. That is not...

2015 was much worse then last year. Here you go: https://www.ajc.com/blog/georgia-tech/tabulating-georgia-tech-injury-toll/p8Lkke9qJIXh7xw39dEwxM/ But last year was certainly no picnic on the OL. The spread option needed consistency there, but shotgun spread teams trying to pass more need it...

But he was. It just wasn't a bowl team using his offense. Though, I'll admit, the creeping OL injuries last year made establishing offensive consistency pretty difficult. If Paul had to deal with that we might have only won 6 or so.

Oh, ye of little faith! Remember the Ugag game in 2014? 3 seasons before 2018? We matched up very well indeed in that one. But people here, despite admitting that we have a hard time recruiting with Ugag in any year, seem to think we wouldn't ever get back to that level, despite a 9 win season...
