Friday, with an upset of # 7 UNC. The guys also knocked off # 21 FSU to begin the month. After a rather rough February, they're now playing better against better competition -- particularly at home...

Listen, or just read the transcript. http://freakonomics.com/podcast/mark-teixeira/?fbclid=IwAR1K6ebB8rrxDTRPn0I3E5dOEP5lFNqO_K4wEbYtk7DmqzDKM0RF7mjDoqs Interesting background info re how he ended up at Tech instead of going from high school to pro ball. And there's this: "Three years at...

its fourth NCAA Division 2 football title, a 49-47 slugfest over Ferris State. VSU is now coached by former mid-1980s UF QB Kerwin Bell. VSU QB Rogan Wells hit 19 of 31 passes for 349 yards and 5 TDs, and he also caught a 25-yard TD pass...

with Ralph Friedgen from last year -- just stumbled across this. Apologies in advance if this was posted before. Ralph has some very interesting things to see about his Tech years, particularly those rough first couple of seasons. Pretty entertaining stuff, too, about Ross having Friedgen and...

Here's a solid, entertaining article about the venerable, infrequently called upon QB sneak in the NFL. (Note the specific reference to the Falcons' recent loss to the Browns.) https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2018/11/15/18096707/quarterback-sneak-short-yardage-play-calling-analysis

Seriously, it is: https://www.stateoftheu.com/2018/11/5/18061374/miami-hurricanes-football-film-preview-miami-at-georgia-tech-part-1-paul-johnson-mark-richt The guy's been coaching HS football for 15 years, so he does have more insight than lots of bloggers.

Leach is a jerk, but he's innovative. And apparently he doesn't mind good input and observations from fans -- consider this twist on the old swinging gate play, but with a diagonal snap toward the QB, and snagged by a running back. Very cool...

Hawaii showed it against Colorado State weekend before last: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/watch-hawaii-lines-up-in-bizarre-two-punter-formation/ Washington State used it last season...

The Tech ladies did things the hard way Thursday night against Pepperdine, dropping the doubles point but rallying to win four of the six singles matches for a tight 4-3 victory; three of Tech's four singles' victories were three-set affairs. Tough, tough win over a very good Pepperdine squad...

is noted on the Tennis Channel's "10 to Watch" in 2018, after having left Tech a year early to go pro in 2017 . . . http://thetennischannel.com/about/10tw-chris-eubanks Most of his first year as a pro has been on the ITF Futures tour (akin to A and AA minor league baseball) and more recently...

Those are national rankings, folks. :) Way to go, Lady Jackets. At Chapel Hill, too. http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/w-tennis/recaps/032418aaa.html

A comment to a football history blog post mentioned this, and I didn't believe it -- until I saw it courtesy of Youtube. Here it is, Tech's national title team defeating Notre Dame in 1928, and you can see several instances of the snap from center going to the QB -- as the QB is facing the...

Here's a brief, interesting article re the trickle of players coming over from Sweden. Yep, Sweden: http://www.americanfootballinternational.com/college-footballs-swedish-flavor/

worse than UGA did last weekend. Incredible. An occasionally explosive but otherwise mediocre Missouri team is thrashing the Gators 28-6 at halftime. A once-mighty Gator defense has now sunk to levels never imagined. And 2-6 UMass, which lost a close one to the Vols a few weeks ago, leads...

Hard to believe it was 40 years that a (then) unheralded defense put together by some guy named Jerry Glanville ;) surprised the NFL with an ultra-aggressive approach, even doing something called the "Sticky Sam" blitz -- nine guys blitzing. For one glorious year, the Atlanta Falcons' defense...

If you saw that wild Navy-Air Force game yesterday, Navy blowing a 38-17 leads as Air Force took a late 45-41 lead, only for Navy to drive 75 yards and win 48-45 on a TD pass with 16 seconds left, then you saw Navy do something different (for Navy). Here's the story...

Apparently, Tech doesn't coach "proper" cut-blocking technique. Listen to this podcast, if you can stand it. Someone should alert CPJ that Tech's cut-blocking isn't done the proper way. The anti-cut hatefest really gets going about 26 minutes in...

woes, here's a question which someone might be able to provide some information. Earlier this year, in the 2017 recruiting threads for walk-ons, there was speculation of a transfer/walk-on from Div. 3 Berry College, a young man named Obie Brannon who as a true frosh stepped in mid-season for...
