    Height committed to Miami over us, then made a late switch to Auburn, IIRC. Saw him play in high school in the playoffs. He looked the part. He looked to be 6-5, 215 at that point. But to be honest, he wasn't even close to being the best player on his team. That was the Brahma bull RB Dublin...

    I won't argue for a second that he wasn't poorly coached while he was at Tech. But you can still do other things to get better outside of bad coaching. Lot of guys have gone on their own time to get tutoring from QB guru George Whitfield Jr., for example.

    Spring Practice

    You missed it. The room wasn't real deep. Before bringing in four transfers. The only proven commodity in the room before last year was Rutherford. We have Singleton and still have Rutherford. Leary was OK and Blaylock was OK but Lane was hurt and Janneh was eh. Leary will be back and Lane...

    Spring Practice

    The room wasn't real deep before last year when we brought in four transfers - Blaylock, Lane, Leary, Janneh.

    Spring Practice

    Three seasons. Six or seven games. No receptions. in this day and age, when a kid like him decides to portal, it's just time to wish him well and let him move along. There were some high hopes for him but for whatever reason, it never materialized at Tech for him. Maybe it will somewhere else.

    Spring Practice

    OK, not a spring practice update, but a spring update. From track meet at FSU, running the 100-meter dash: On the men’s side, Eric Singleton Jr. finished with a second-place time of 10.56.

    GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    Biggest problem with Logan Thomas was Sneezy hitting him late after we had them stopped on third down and in control of that game. Instead of forcing them to punt, they got new life. And we didn't.

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    Knew one or two Southern OL who weren't thrilled with Sewak as a position coach, either, when he was there under PJ. PJ let his assistants run their units - especially when it came to playing time - for better or worse, for the most part. There were exceptions - starting QB and B-back - but not...

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    "They can't stop it, folks!" God bless Brent Musberger. And how about getting TD runs off the midline like that. JT's last TD run, BJ Bostic just absolutely wipes out some poor Missy State defender. It was beautiful. Shoot, even on JT's TD pass to Waller, there is an A back running down the...

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    Nothing like hearing Zeier (tool) talk about GT's big offensive line wearing down the Dwags' defense late in the game in 14. That O line did have some heft to it - Shaq, Errin Joe, Chamberlain, Freddie Burden, et al ... ain't none of them 6-1, 260.

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    Collins talked "brand" and TStan was sold. Lock, stock and barrel. I think that's what it came down to. But it was apparent in year two none of our opponents took us seriously - even Notre Dame talked openly of using that week to prepare for somebody else rather than preparing for us. Once that...

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    Oh, no, I had a big burning hate for that guy pretty early on, cemented by his antics as VPI was putting a historic beatdown on us in 2019 (12 minute mark of the 4th when it's already 45-0 and he's yukking it up when the refs tell him to get back) We need animal02 to weigh back in.

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    I saw Hollings play in high school - for the Twiggs County Cobras - and thought, he ain't playing QB at the next level but he's playing somewhere and he's going to be good at it.

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    Went back and forth privately with a mod about my constant use of a certain circus act to refer to the previous coach and I was advised to let it go. which only made me madder, since I invested time and money to come to Tech games to cheer them on, even during Gailey games, but under the...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    Oh, the many times I have come to bury Collins, not to praise him. But at least Caesar conquered something and I didn't waste valuable time and money going to see Caesar lose to the Picts and the Gauls and the Franks the way he who shall have an insulting moniker assigned to him did to the...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    He may know Georgia well, but UNC already recruits Georgia, specifically Atlanta area, well already. And I don't know if many HS coaches in Georgia think highly of him anyway.

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    They're getting Max Johnson, late of Texas A&M and before that LSU and before that one of the Oconees (can't remember if it was North Oconee or Oconee County). Oh, and his brother 6-5 tight end.
