I think the idea that some Tech fans have that he's some sort of kryptonite for our offense is pretty intriguing. Our first year, I believe it was the fourth game of the year running a brand new offense, the second year we dominated them in the second half, the third year we were dominating...

The SEC has stunk it up in major bowls for several years now, and it does nothing to the perception in the media. It's almost like they have a financial relationship with several of those media outlets purporting to cover the conference.

Whew! I'm glad Notre Dame and FSU aren't important games. I was a little concerned about them.

Miami has played in the ACCCG the same number of times as Georgia Southern. Certainly that can't be the reason.

Yeah, I guess the whole thing strikes me as an amorphous standard. I mean, what has Miami really accomplished in the past decade, and why should we measure ourselves against them? VT had a great run (I think seven consecutive ten win seasons) but they've been extremely mediocre for three...

There is no such thing as a big four, or whatever number you want. It's the big twelve. Every game matters.

I love the optimism, and I agree with you, but this is what has to change. Every game is important, and we don't get extra credit for beating those teams. We learned last year just how costly losses to other teams were, so hopefully that won't happen again.

Yeah, no worries. I mean, dude, that team made me old last year, but that's probably why I also love them so much. We got to watch them grow from a team picked fifth in the division, that squeaked by Southern, mature against Virginia Tech (no one remembers 4th and 15 anymore) and Miami...

I think you have to embrace it, man. We probably aren't ever going to have such a massive talent disparity between us and our opponents that we will blow out eight or nine of them every year. 2014 probably represented a high water mark, actually. I mean, we crushed Clemson and Mississippi...

I think the offense, even with the loss of Shaq, both receivers, and a slew of backs, is going to go bonkers again. 2014 confirmed Johnson's suspicion (and mine) that he doesn't need to deviate from what we do. Instead, line up with a boss offensive line, execute the stuff well, and bludgeon...

True, but I'm uncomfortable with the AJC picking and choosing which NCAA decisions they respect in their reporting. Typically, the AJC says something along the lines of "Tech's 2009 ACC championship, since vacated," or something to that effect. I can support that, because it presents the...

I know. There's no way he'd say "UGA's seeks its first national championship since Carter was in office." Seems like such an irrelevant fact, especially given the context.

In his defense, one of the wins was vacated, so he is technically accurate.

That's five star parenting, people. We should all aspire to do likewise.

Yes, I agree on all points. Should have been more clear.

We'd need to adjust for schedule for the raw metric comparisons to be truly meaningful.

I'll never understand what the relevance is to what system Thomas committed is. It seems like such an unnecessary, pointless fact that offers no differentiation between the two. I think Thomas was faster (though not a half second, because that would be a record) and more physical, but Waller...

It's not an unreasonable position for us. I thought Baylor was rated higher than I'm comfortable with, and I think a school like Carolina or Arizona State are rated too low for my tastes. Interesting read, though.

I don't think there was any learning required here. The NCAA had caps on staff who could recruit on and off campus, then removed the cap on on-campus recruiters. Other schools immediately expanded their staffs, while Johnson was denied funding for the position(s) until Bobinski was hired...

There are a handful of issues at work here. When he came here he was encumbered by strict academic restrictions (since eased) and NCAA expansion of recruiting staffs (for which he received no funding from our previous AD), which resulted in massive defections from quality players. In the past...
