Was I the only one unable to post or read Stingtall for several days? Tried with three browsers and got zip. Today, unfortunately fpr you guys, perfect. And note I gave the head ball coach guy a pass.

Surprised that Tech's hiring of Chris Weinke as QB coach is unobserved. If so I give Collins A for effort, and hope it works. Now, if he will just stay the heck out of the QB room. The downside is that an opening occurred when a Tech coach took a stop at ... Temple. A big step down career wide.

Not to introduce a sore subject but Venables has reached back to Clemson's analyst staff and hired Ted Roof for a field coaching job at Oklahoma. Lets hope future decisions are better.

From the LA Times today. Not terribly deep by interesting regardless. https://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool/story/2020-12-18/chayden-peery-sierra-canyon-georgia-tech-quarterback

I post this though it is a month or so old -- I just stumbled across it -- and it is the most thorough exploration of this "culture" thing I have seen, or at least the most understandable to me. I have heard bits and pieces of the "culture" Collins talks about, but other than players picking up...

Can't wait to see what the SEC/Alabama mouthpiece has to say. All this and Oregon should have held on to beat Auburn. Tennessee lost to Georgia State -- is Butch Jones available? -- Missouri to Wyoming, South Carolina to North Carolina -- it seems clear Mack is back and UNC talent was never the...

There is no way this can be made to make sense nor pass the smell test. The odds of eight recruits, same school, P5 caliber, matching GT needs for the recruiting year? That is absurd. And if Collins' idea is to get some ink, he had better hope all eight don't accept. This is branding...

He can sound vaguely punctilious, but I gather the joint needs some discipline after Fedora's last couple of years. I think Bateman is a good hire but the Army defense is also kind of a function of the Johnson offense: for the whole season it averaged better than 38 minutes possession, and...

For those interested in the intricacies of offensive line play generally and specifically about Shaq Mason, a good piece in the Boston Globe about how the Patriots schemed to keep J.J. Watt away from Tom Brady Sunday. Mason was in the thick of it, earning his money early...

Having nothing to do with football except we just lost some time to an injury, this on electric scooters and emergency rooms: https://www.washingtonpost.com/?reload=true

I don't have a clue as to why this has to be such an emotional issue. The protest has nothing to do with supporting the troops or the military at all. Agree or disagree, but calling them unpatriotic is over the top...

Anybody have any information on the scrimmage injury to Tech's backup QB, Lucas Johnson? With this GT is working without a net at QB, with Marshall and a true freshman.

Found this in the LA Times regarding Chip Kelly's return to college football and his recruiting philosophy. Most will recognize it. Moreover, some on the board have made that last point: A name program makes an offer and the star-rating explodes on a recruit. "It's a typical Chip Kelly class...

Lots of mystery at Navy, and already some objections to the offense if Coach N finally pulls up stakes. this is an earlier story and a later one reports he was in Arizona interviewing. Follow to the end when the QB is not happy...

The Godfather got it right: how did we ever come to this? When did so many of us begin to believe that today's recruits, mostly 18, are so soft and frilly, Pillsbury Doughboys who seek, who demand, kid gloves and that loving feeling when asked to play a sport that hits people in the mouth...

I am a loser. My low-key campaign to get the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year award to someone who actually earned it failed. David Shaw of Stanford, a school with more money than God and better endowed than any Miss America, sneaked in and took it. His team was 9-4. Jeff Monken's Army team was...

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article191569154.html Maybe we should have just kicked field goals every time we got inside the 50? The kid is having a lights out year with a very good team; the best of both worlds.

In case the BP needs a jump start, Chan Gaily has been named to the 2018 Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. (Swinney made it too, and they managed to get his NC championship win in without naming the opponent.)...

I apologize if this appears elsewhere. I looked and didn't find it. One of the reasons I enjoy Johnson no matter how much he aggravates me. From Mark Bradley column today about GT: "Then again, he’s still Paul Johnson. When someone asked if Carolina’s defensive shifting – essentially the Heels’...

I have more than fond memories of this kid, who by happenstance gave Tech fans one of our greatest memories, two in fact because at the end of the great blocked kick return to beat FSU, he was spun off the returner like a rag doll ... and just a week before said he would never miss an open...
