    Not sure if its up to date: http://www.ramblinwreck.com/multimedia/geot-football-on-air.html
  2. Option football in the pro's

    I think it would be difficult to run a successful offense out of the flexbone at the pro level. A few reasons: 1) The players on the edge are much bigger and faster in the pros than they are in college. Typically, when we have problems running our offense, it's because the other team has...
  3. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    Take a look of the video of Florida State's top 15 recruits and then we can talk about the difference between "reloading" and "rebuilding." If we had just five of those guys the buzz around here would be off the charts.
  4. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    You can definitely spot errors in the rankings on an individual basis (not saying this is one of them) but, as a whole, they generally get it more right than wrong. I don't remember the exact stats but I think 5 stars were something like a 1/7 chance at being drafted in the first round and 3...
  5. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    Fair enough - I took a look at the teams behind us and I could only come up with at most 2 I would swap in front of us. I do agree that the further back you go, the harder it is to make an argument that the other teams are better. I could understand Oklahoma, or Wisconsin, etc., but like you...
  6. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    Let's go over a few things: Stars are proven to reflect talent. They aren't foolproof, but there is a mathematical correlation between success in reaching the next level and the number of stars. Are there 2 stars who end up being great players? Yes. Are their five stars who bust? Yes...
  7. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    If you are referring to me you've misread my posts in about every way possible. I'm not nitpicking, I'm not suggesting CPJ is cowering in fear, and I'm certainly not suggesting its wrong to rank us No. 16. I'm just defending this guys opinion that we are overrated at No. 16 - I don't think its...
  8. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    A QB with zero experience but who was also a four star and a big time recruit. That's my point - we don't' have any Thomases waiting in the wings this year (at least on paper). The other teams typically have 3-4 of those guys. At the preseason stage you have to look at who is who. Maybe Skov...
  9. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    We all know that isn't how its done. With limited exceptions, typically the teams are ranked by number of losses.
  10. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    The difference is our players had a ton of experience. Look at the combined number of games by Days, Laskey, Waller, Smelter (to a lesser extent, though his natural ability is probably unmatched by our current guys), Hill, Bostic, Perkins, Zenon, Andrews. All of those guys are gone. We may be...
  11. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    Probably Ole Miss. Their offense was bad last year and they return pretty much everyone but the QB, so I think they've got a chance to be better. They return their entire front four, including Nkemdiche, and should win plenty of games on their defense alone. I think Arkansas is really...
  12. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    Good finds. Definitely a bit surprising. That said Ohio State had four 4* RB backups to slot in to replace their RBs, one of whom was a senior. Ezekiel Elliot, for example, was a high four star out of high school who had 262 yards on 30 carries the year before - those are basically Snoddy...
  13. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    I don't disagree with you and I definitely don't fully agree with my earlier post. The point is that the dude that wrote the article can easily find a grounds for which he believes we are overrated at #16. FSU should take a step back too, but they aren't ranked that much higher than us (16)...
  14. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    And what I'm saying is that its not out of the realm of possibility that its a negative, either. The dude I was responding to may personally think its a net positive, but I don't think he was saying that its an absolute fact we will be better. My point is its not unreasonable for someone to...
  15. GT is overrated in the preseason AP poll

    I don't think its unfair to say we are overrated at all. We return five guys from our offense and our defense was atrocious. "Skill" positions are just that - positions that are thought of as requiring more "skills" than the other positions (whether right or wrong). We are replacing two WRs...
  16. Jalen Johnson to WR?

    My guess is that Summers will be out for a bit based on this.
  17. Thoughts on UGA game rewatch

    This is my experience too. Nearly all of my mutt friends would be content to keep him until the end of time. The only people I've met who feel otherwise are redneck crazies.
  18. Thoughts on UGA game rewatch

    Right. As long as he is winning 10 games a year they will stomach losing to us. If he drops to 7-8 wins a year for at least 2-3 in a row that's when his seat will get hot.
  19. Thoughts on UGA game rewatch

    While I'd love to see them get rid of Richt I don't think the part of their fanbase that matters would get rid of him that quickly. Don't get me wrong, there is a large contingent that wants to get rid of him. The problem is the people that have money (coincidentally, their fans that have...
  20. Bobinski Q&A

    Last couple of points on finances - Autzen stadium isn't very big, but their fans exceed capacity on a pretty regular basis. Look at last year - they averaged nearly 58k with a 54k person capacity. We, on the other hand, average significantly under capacity. There are a few ways of making...
