    Mike Greenberg tears the Georgia Bulldogs a new ***crack

    Ten minutes ago, on Mike & Mike. Greenberg began by discussing Kirby Smart's "adjustment" in Georgia's transfer policy and how Smart was quoted as saying he wouldn't let players leave Georgia if they might play for an opponent someday, including one backup O-lineman. "You know what? Shame. On...

    Sugiura Says Bowl Game in 2015/16 "Not Going To Happen"

    Yesterday on the GT Mailbag on AJC, Segiura fielded a question: "Also, as per bowl games, aren't we contractually obligated to the ACC to play in a bowl game if selected? (AugustaJacket)" K.S. replied: "I think you might be right. There'd be a lot of pressure to play. It's just not going to...

    Mouth agape at ESPN CFB Daily (ACC vs SEC)

    I can never truly convince myself of media bias until it slaps me in the face. Because you always want to check yourself against wearing colored glasses. For instance, my Dad always railed at the bias of the NFL establishment against the Cardinals organization, and I would protest that it's a...

    Yahoo Sports -- 25 Intriguing QB's in 2015, Justin Thomas #21

    Am I becoming a GT homer? Pat has plenty of nice things to say, but mentions CPJ's "famously thin" playbook which comes across as total balderdash. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/-college-football-s-25-most-intriguing-quarterbacks-of-2015-021851996-ncaaf.html

    What if CPJ got three sheets to the wind and...

    (Disclaimer: The Flexbone from under center is a perfect offense for Georgia Tech. Also, in my opinion, it is aesthetically the most artistic and exciting offense in football.) I've been wanting to posit this to the board for a while, but now in mid-offseason it seems like the time. I've...

    ESPN Calls Jackets "ACC Favorite to make Playoff" in 2015

    I won't say anything pithy, but I went to a Nickelback concert with a bunch of drunk baseball fans from St. Louis, and it got really cold for some reason... http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/79872/acc-schedule-has-strength-from-start-to-finish

    Massive Reddit OB response -- major props for Tech, Thomas, CPJ

    My personal favorites: "Playing the GT offense is like playing that one kid in Mortal Kombat -- sweep-kicking you over and over until you start crying and take your SEGA home." "Damn, so maybe Florida State IS really good!" "My 7 year old walks by and sees GT playing. "Hey, that's where I...

    Mystifying/funny article on MSU in Sun-Sentinel

    Damnedest thing I've ever read. "Using Tech as an example, Holmes said once a tight end gets in motion, he'll be followed by another receiver who gets in motion. Then, the same tight end, will motion again before the play starts."...

    Georgia Tech's potential return to national prominence

    Gents -- I want to posit some thoughts before the big weekend. What I think is exciting is not so much Tech having a 10-2 record, but the overall direction the program is going in. I'm not an expert on CPJ's years at Georgia Southern, but if you look at the schools where Johnson has founded a...

    Lefthanded Column on Tech in Florida Times-Union

    http://jacksonville.com/sports/college/florida-state-seminoles/2014-12-02/story/georgia-techs-anachronistic-style-will What I find funny is that he refers to Tech's "anachronism" offense (invented in the 80s/90s) as enjoying a "modicum" of success, then casually mentions GT being #1 in the...

    Some Perspective on CPJ -- Found this old article

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=schlabach_mark&id=3201059 It's also worthwhile to wiki overall coaching record, in 17 years of HC'ing Johnson has had 2 losing seasons. That's closer to Eddie Robinson type numbers than any of the comparisons usually thrown around. The...

    Why this win could be pivotal for ACC, not just GT

    I'm thrilled for Tech that they won of course, but what really struck me is the manner in which the Jackets beat Georgia. Let's face it, a major part of the SEC's recent run of success is that they usually win the LOS against out-of-conference teams. Whatever else you want to say, no other...

    Love from Graham Watson at Yahoo Sports

    The only sour note is that she seems to rate Georgia as an almost indomitable opponent, even after they lost their stud for the year. Edit: Oh, and she calls the Flexbone the "Triple Option System" of course...
