So all of you ought to goto: https://hungoverowls.tumblr.com The best use ever made of Tumblr. Most of these are really funny.

No doubt you know what Paul's response was to this. He'd look his interlocutor in the eye, calmly pull out his press guide, and review the very statistics (it took me all of 5 minutes) you say don't tell you anything that looking at our games did. You are right about our pass protection in...

1. You don't do so well at the very thing that every DC you come up against is expecting unless you are right decent at it. Take the VT game in 18. Bud was ready as could be and we still rushed for 465 yards and beat the snot out of them while throwing one (that's 1) pass that was incomplete. I...

It was only a matter of time before Aaron Carroll got in on this. See: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/how-risky-are-kids-sports/ As usual, Carroll gives a serious overview of the latest research reviews on these questions, with a particular emphasis on youth sports. Short Aaron...

1. "...let's not forget that CPJ's offense was plagued by bad OL blocking in the latter years." Like, say, 2017, when we led the nation in rushing during the regular season and finished 3rd? Or 2018 when we finished 3rd again? Let's drop this while there's still breath left in our bodies. The...

I love this clip. What's really great is the reaction form our sidelines. Guyton was a stud, by any measure. Here he is in another Moment of Glory up at VT. Laws, we beat them like a drum that day.

I remember **** Butkus saying that he had a recurring dream when played. He bursts into the backfield, hits the RB, and his head pops off. Yep, that's the attitude alright.

The kicker here is that he was good in 2018 too. As the film shows, the guy is a lot cuter then he looks; he runs strong so people tend to ignore the cuts. He'll do over 1000 next year. And we'll be improved. And we may win about the same number of games.

Now, this will date me. I had one when I was a kid. I didn't play in it - nobody had even thought of pee-wee football then and I was was under 10 - but I had one alright. It was cool.

Also … wiiiiiiiining. I'll take that trade off any day of the week.

The ACC has had a division structure since 2005. Tech has won Coastal five times (co-champ with VT in 2008). I don't want to seem too pessimistic, but I don't think this is a realistic prediction of our future success.

Well … he had academic difficulties in the spring and got hurt to start the year. I think it wasn't so much his intensity as his problems. Once he got to start, he seemed to improve as the season went on (haven't the time to parse that out of the season stats). That gives him the inside track...

I don't know what it is going to take for Tech to start scheduling like Duke does. The usual thing you try to do in any sport when you are making changes and trying to get a team back up to snuff afterwards is to schedule easy for a year or three, then introduce more challenges once you have...

Since everyone is naming names … I think the one frosh we recruited who could see extensive playing time is … Rankins. Imho, he has the most talent of any of the OLs and the least distance to go to contribute. This depends on his actual weight when he reports, however. If he is at 285, as some...

You seem to be forgetting one team we know that didn't. I'd be plenty worried, if I were you.

Holy living Jeebus!! That's a mere 10 (count 'me, 10) bowl teams on our schedule, including leading off with the runner-up to the MNC and finishing with the Orange Bowl champ. Whoever scheduled us for this year should be taken out to the middle of North Avenue at rush hour and left in the...

The links in the original post go to some. And, no, we don't actually know that contact sports cause CTE conclusively. I was making the argument of the doctor in the post, not my own. It'll take some really take some careful studies over time to pars out the actual effects.

Well, I think you are right. But say that a current version of Matt Ryan wanted to come to Tech. I'd change my O so fast the OC would be blinded by the flash. You can find all sorts in the NFL and college ranks these days.

Why don't people smoke as much as they used to? Because epidemiological studies showed such clear linkages between smoking and lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema. No need for a RCT when the results are that strong. We found the causal mechanisms later. It would be nice if you could...

Bingo. Sorry, BINGO!! Tech doesn't hire presidents because they are good for sports programs. Shoot, for that matter, nobody does. There are places (Bammer, for instance) where any incoming president had better be a sports supporter, but Tech is more like other places: you hire a president for...
