From what Ballin' said earlier, the problem seemed to be that he wasn't hitting consistently from over 40 in practice or pre-game. Well, there's a shocker. I think he hit one FG in 2018 that was over 40 yards (43, again if my memory isn't failing me). I remember that kick. It was between the...

You recall correctly. I had a lot of reservations about Patenaude last year, but they didn't have anything to do with his not owning up to mistakes and misjudgments. If I recall correctly, sometimes he did and sometimes he didn't. Personally, I've never seen the point in doing mea culpas about...

Well … except that the number of cases worldwide is doubling every 3.5 days, I'd agree. As it is, however …

Neither Gardner or Bagley are employees of a "bio-tech" company. Smarts was only there to help with the calculations. Further, since Gardner is a professor of epidemiology (you can check), I doubt seriously if the calculations are not pretty much bog standard for such studies. As to the writing...

Well … the present data from China can be used for extrapolation. See: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/what-if-we-do-develop-covid-19-antivirals/ Pretty sobering, but this is definitely a worst case scenario. It is looking at what the CFR would be at different "attack rates" (i.e...

I think having Camp back will make our QBs a lot better all of a sudden. We had way, way too many drops on short routes last year often due to pressure on the WR by DBs. I predict this will be less the case going forward. It's a matter of choosing your poison; you can cover Camp with an LB and...

I'm not sure he deserves praise for stating the pure, unadulterated, and obvious to absolutely everybody truth. But at least he owns up to it. That's something, I suppose.

I want to thank Lucas for all he did at Tech. I think bad luck with injuries was all that stopped him from becoming our starter in 2018; he certainly fit the bill for the job. Good luck wherever you end up, young man. I think you easily have the talent to start somewhere else, I hope you do...

I think the future in sports in Atlanta - when it comes to fans, not tv - is, unfortunately, in soccer. I wish I didn't think so; I think soccer is boring (unless you are half drunk and in a pub in England during a World Cup run, of course). The sport seems to have stolen the spotlight with our...

Yep. They are all of them "experienced and polished professionals". You don't get considered for the job unless you are. And a substantial number of such "experienced and polished professionals" get canned every year. I'm not calling for that with Patenaude, however. He was obviously looking at...

Nope, just the news stories. For instance, see: https://www.bnd.com/sports/college/article233610507.html or https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/dave-patenaude-vision-for-georgia-tech-offense-clarifying/NRtsFzWtTW2IS681UUb0xJ/ And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The guy was happy talking...

He sounded like that last year too. I think I'll wait and see what (if anything) he does with the pieces.

I've said here before that Malloy is a very talented back. If Paul had stayed I was looking forward to a backfield with him and Cottrell at AB and The Two-Headed Monster at BB. But he hasn't been getting too many chances to show what he can do. I've been wondering if he was hurt and nobody let...

You missed the point completely, as usual. You have to handle kickers with kid gloves. I know that "competition is king" and all that, but not with kickers. With someone like Wells, you accept their limits and work within them. And you don't undermine their confidence by basing their chances on...

Yes. I think what actually happened is that Hansen couldn't overcome his injuries, even with additional time. We had a similar situation when Chris Griffin played OT. Everyone on the staff, by all reports, thought he was headed for all-ACC, at the least. 6'6", 305 and experienced. He tried to...

One thing people here are missing is the role of confidence in placekicking. You are Wells. You have a literally perfect year in 2018. You have shown what you can do in game situations. You have some limitations - range - but when there were points on the field to be had and you were called...

I second this. Bruce has been plagued by injury since his senior year in high school. He needs to get healthy, wherever he ends up. There's no reason, given the depth here, that the coaches can't make that happen. He'll be a strong competitor in 2021 if he can get well.

I think this crowd is in a photo finish with the RBs as the most talented position on the team. The big thing, I believe, is getting Camp back. He muscles DBs with impunity and has very good hands. With him and Brown we have a hard to beat short - long combo. Or it could be almost any other...

This is easily the best position on the team. The real question is how that talent gets used. Last year we wasted a lot of it by declaring that we would simply not run too many 2 back sets. I can see that; there was no reason to restrict Mason's carries (though early in the year we did). Now we...

I think it'll be Graham, on game experience alone. The others - especially the frosh - are at a disadvantage, but it'll be up to James to show how big that disadvantage is. I expect him to improve in every phase of the game in spring, but I expect the same for Yates. Both are similar talents...
