  1. Wes Durham - Top 50 Calls

    The game I got reminded of from this was the 2006 Miami game. Choice ran for over 100 and Reg for 95. He hurt his ankle and didn't recover for the rest of the season. Seeing the two of them run over da U like that was almost the most fun I've ever had at a Tech game. What was the most, I hear...
  2. Quarterback for next year

    I think the main difference is that if you are 6'3" or taller you can't be a dual-threat QB. If you look at Gleason's junior film, you can see that he can run and sometimes prefers to. But … he's too tall to be a dual-threat QB!! He's pro-style!! I do think that, with Graham and Yates both up...
  3. Future Opponents: Bama and Ga State

    Good. We can beat them. We;; … except maybe KSU. Bohannon has them running like a watch.
  4. Future Opponents: Bama and Ga State

    Uh, guys, Georgia State went to a bowl this year. Guess who didn't? Given that their program is a success (3 bowls in the last 5 years), I would think most of us here would be wondering how successful we can be against them, not why we would play them at all. As to playing Bama, I think...
  5. 2020 Offseason Thread

    Given how they've recruited in the last four years, the Coastal is probably breathing a sigh of relief that they appear to be having some trouble. And, yes, I'd assume that the NCAA is involved in this, albeit under the table. Too bad for Bud. If he had been given the job instead of Fuentes...
  6. Reflections on the National Championship Game

    I thought the game came down to a simple matchup: Clemson DBs v LSU WRs. LSU won that one easy. I've seen one team in my life that was as deep in quality WRs: (wait for it) Tech in 1990. Every WR who came off the bench for us that year could have started for any team in the country. Nobody...
  7. Sports Illustrated: Why Is College Football Attendance Tanking?

    Actually, I think this is a no-brainer. As many here have already said, it all comes down to cost. I can watch games on tv, but I choose to go to the games because I know that the experience of being at a game is much, much different from watching a game on tv. The emotional impact is greater...
  8. Question About Tobias Oliver

    Tobias is, by the most recent reports, 6'2" and 210 lbs. He may be the most talented runner on the team. His natural position, if you aren't going to play him at QB, is at RB. His talent is wasted at WR; he won't touch the ball enough to make a difference. Soooooo … either keep him at QB and...
  9. Brains and football

    Here's a brief on recent research on the effects of football on brain development and brain disease: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/should-parents-be-afraid-to-let-their-kids-play-football/ Short article: so far the results are inconclusive, but alarming. And parents are reacting to...
  10. Something for Collins and co. to consider

    True, but the real reason he didn't get as much attention as a QB recruit was that he only played 7 games his senior year and people were put off by his injury. However, in those seven games he: Passed for 947 yards, rushed for 330, and accounted for 20 TDs. And was first team all-region at QB...
  11. Something for Collins and co. to consider

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. We have plenty of talent on the OL, even without transfers. We didn't do well last year because: • We had a lot of nagging injuries that kept our scholarship OLs from developing any continuity. If you play together as a unit for multiple games, you get...
  12. Offseason Workouts - Club 1010

    Actually, it's the "I couldn't work out as hard as I wanted to during the off-season because I had what turned out to be a season-ending injury" look. Remember?
  13. James Graham 2019 Season Highlights

    Graham has the talent to succeed. So do several of our QB candidates. It'll be up to him. One thing: I hope they give him a chance to run more next year. He'll be much more effective if the threat of a long run is there to accompany the passing.
  14. Season Ticket Email - Mayhem at MBS adds $105/per seat

    Well, no. I think there is plenty that could be improved at Grant Field. The problem with MBS is that the cake is baked. There is no way to improve the parking. There is no way to improve the horrid experience of getting in and out of the place. There is no way to improve the view of the field...
  15. Offseason Workouts - Club 1010

    I meant in that picture. But, yes, Kenny does need to work on that. A lot.
  16. Offseason Workouts - Club 1010

    Well … he does have a bigger gut then any of them.
  17. Something for Collins and co. to consider

    See: http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/01/jackson-could-be-an-ultimate-weapon-a-discussion-with-the-baltimore-suns-childs-walker-about-lamar-jackson-and-the-baltimore-ravens Yep. The future of the NFL is tied up with people like Lamar Jackson and, though the article doesn't mention him...
  18. CPJ interview - Nov 11

    It would be more accurate to say for the entire history of Tech football. The program has always averaged winning about 60% of the time, when you take out seasons like the one we just had. If we get that up to 70% we will have made a sea change in the program. And that will mean the kinds of...
  19. Season Ticket Email - Mayhem at MBS adds $105/per seat

    MBS is a overpriced, over-engineered pit. The Georgia Dome was a much better place to watch … well, anything. I'd stick with Grant Field, if I were you.
  20. CPJ interview - Nov 11

    Why bother? Look, the only thing that matters with "branding" is the number of wins. If you win a lot, it really doesn't matter who you beat, unless you are angling for the MNC. I want to win and I don't really care about who we beat to do it. Tech already has enough in the way of tough outs...
