    Just gonna say it....

    It hurts to play Clemson every year, to be honest. Pitt played Syracuse and Wake this year as cross divisional opponents. We would have had a lot better chance at a 6-2 conference record against either of them. Of course, playing Clemson each year has a lot of positives.

    Making 3 Star Recruits into 5 Star Athletes

    Malik Rivera is a guy who didn't have any college football offers (I can't even find a high school profile) and he is leading our team in tackles. He's elevated himself above a lot of guys who are 4* players at the same position. He does so because he is experienced and knows the defensive...

    FEI Off/Def/SpT Rankings 2018

    Also, just for kicks, it's worth pointing out that our offensive line is rated pretty highly across the board for rushing. For rushing we are 5th in line yards per carry, 3rd in standard down yards, 83rd in passing down yards, 4th in opportunity rate, 52nd in power success rate, 5th in stuff...

    Paul Johnson time frame.

    In the discussion of CPJ graduating players, I thought it was really interesting after the locker rooms were constructed to hear Paul Johnson mention his next wish list item was getting a dedicated study space for the athletes. Seemed like something I haven't heard pushed by many other coaches...

    Petrino fired

    Not really surprising, it was a tough decision to make. They're up to their eyeballs in scandals and Petrino's buyout was huge. I have no idea where they found the money to fire him. They already owe so much to other parties.

    Paul Johnson time frame.

    He'll only get a contract extension if we win out and win the bowl game, I think. And even then I think it's unlikely. The last extension was kind of Stansbury giving him a 2 year clock to prove he can get it done with the right resources (updated locker rooms, first choice DC, adidas contract...

    The IMG academy?

    The private school started as Nick Bollettieri's tennis academy, which was a program that routinely churned out some of the best players in the world. The academy was bought by IMG in the late 80's, but Bollettieri still remained as one of the key members. If I remember correctly, the football...

    Paul Johnson time frame.

    I am feeling much better about our future after going 4-1 in the last 5 games. We've looked good under Oliver and I wonder if Lucas Johnson hadn't gotten injured if he would have taken over the reigns early in the season. The defense has improved as of late and should be even better next year...

    Geoff Collins at temple

    The rumor was that the boosters were most interested in Collins or Godsey. Of course, this was when we were 1-3, so things might have changed. But I've been paying attention to Temple since.

    Geoff Collins at temple

    Supposedly on our short list of coaches if we were to seek a replacement for Paul Johnson.

    FEI Off/Def/SpT Rankings 2018

    The only issue I have with these statistics is that they do not take into account things like injuries or new systems. Our defense has gotten progressively better this season, but they're weighed down by some poor performances in our early schedule when we were figuring things out. I think our...

    Paul Johnson time frame.

    Wasn't that long ago that I remember he was negatively recruiting against us to get Mike Rogers to commit to UCF over GT (I know he was just doing his job). Honestly, I am not sold on him because of the lack of head coaching experience. Hell, he's only ever been a position coach, except for one...

    Paul Johnson time frame.

    Don't you know? If we beat them, they must be a garbage team. ;) I think some people are secretly (sometimes not so secretly) hoping this GT team bombs just so they can say "I told you so" and hire a new coach. Frankly, if we win two more games and go to a bowl game, Paul is not gone. And that...

    Tech loses Chris Kirschner from the Atheltic.

    Yeah, but I trust she'll be professional and not inject any UGA bias into articles. You know if she does she'll get major backlash and will be removed as our beat writer. I'm more concerned about her lack of experience, but I'm willing to give McElhaney a chance. So far, so good.

    Tech loses Chris Kirschner from the Atheltic.

    If you check the article on last night's game released today, Daniel Shirley (The Athletic's Managing Editor) says in the comments section that Tori McElhaney is going to cover GT from now on. Her first two articles have been good, but I really liked Kirschner's work. Here's to hoping Tori can...

    Virginia Tech Postgame

    Very happy with the win and I think it's great we've put up some dominating performances in both of our big prime time games this season (Louisville being the other). That helps with recruiting and also makes us seem more valuable to adidas when it comes time for contract negotiations. I think...

    FEI seeming accurate so far this game. GT looking unstoppable on offense to VT's lackluster defense.

    Tech loses Chris Kirschner from the Atheltic.

    On the Athletic home page, across the top, they list all of their covered leagues. Hover over "NCAA FB" and there are 27 listed teams. Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, and Virginia Tech are the 5 covered ACC football schools. All schools are Power 5, except for Cincinatti.
