  1. Average Age of GTSwarm Posters

    Well now, you sound like a Woody Hayes disciple. To him, a forward pass had three possible outcomes and two of them were bad. Much better to run another dive play and get three yards.
  2. Overachievers

    It was an interesting study. Going back to just 2008 does help some teams, notably Clemson, and hurts others like probably California. My own take is spread over a longer time period and is strictly stream of consciousness with no attempt at trying to justify my impressions with data: Tech at...
  3. Average Age of GTSwarm Posters

    Yep they are...old that is. Just like the old "hanging jury" in the west stands in Bobby Dodd's day. Some things never change. I am 63 and can remember Tech beating number one Alabama in 1962. That, my friends, is old. I was old school before old school became cool.
  4. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    I always thought that was the strangest thing about the famous "Kitchen Summit". Kruschev was flabbergasted at the modern appliances in a typical American kitchen and then he and Nixon start singing "Ramblin Wreck"? Did both of them actually know the song or was it stage managed and they were...
  5. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    Yes, funny what good coaching can do even for the most downtrodden of football teams if given time by the fans.
  6. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    Pretty much sums up my sentiments of all things Athens.
  7. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    Uh, no that just does not quite fit the narrative we want to create.
  8. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    You do realize there are teams, even those that usually beat us that say the exact same things, in so many words, about us.
  9. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    Some variation of precipitation that will interfere with the intricate operation of our triple option attack. Could be rain, sleet, hail, snow, something as long as it is wet.
  10. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    If they don't do well in Sunday School class they are assigned to go to Clemson and raise some hell there as we can do it pretty well in south Georgia on our own. Two of my students (who were the brother and sister of the girl that went to Tech and became a cheerleader) did actually go to UGA...
  11. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    Seems reasonable. Personally, I would like to beat Miami and Duke. I am getting really tired of lame excuses as to why we cannot beat those teams. Every year it is something different.
  12. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    Yep and number one is probably a bit more significant for Tech than most teams. Seems like I saw somewhere that our schedule is rated in the top 10 for 2018 in difficulty. Not sure I really agree with that but I guess it is a pretty tough row to hoe with two, possibly three top 10 teams to...
  13. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    I belong to a Presbyterian church of less than 80 members. In the past 8 years we have had 3 of our young people go to Tech. One was a cheerleader, one was a cum laude graduate in computer science, one was a cum laude graduate in industrial design (something like that) and all of them were...
  14. Fixes on O

    True but that was a one shot deal.
  15. Just FYI, the time is drawing nigh

    In south Georgia, LONG summers are part of the deal. We have 5 months of summer. I lost four pounds pushing my lawnmower the other day. It was 94 in Albany and I was thinking it sure is a long time until "Toe meets Leather" best not think about it and get to it.
  16. Bold, but reasonable predictions

    I can maybe see us at 6-1 going into the Virginia Tech game if some things fall into place like improved defense and special teams but I am here to tell you Bud Foster is going to have his boys ready to play that next week. It is going to very difficult for us to go into Lane Stadium and beat...
  17. Fixes on O

    "our tackle play was sub par" Hmm, seems like I have heard that before in seasons past. Must be my increasingly faulty memory.
  18. Fixes on O

    The counter is too slow but if run correctly it is a ***** for linebackers who take one or two steps the wrong way and have left a good angle for a lineman to block them. The counter trap that we run with Benson seems pretty effective most of the time. I wonder if anyone has ever done a study...
  19. Official 2018 2-Deep Roster Prediction

    I think (and this is just pure speculation on my part) that the offensive line being "very fluid" is part of the problem. Put Will at guard where he belongs and let the tackles sort themselves out. Guys that want to play can take it upon themselves to get better over the summer and compete...
  20. Official 2018 2-Deep Roster Prediction

    I have not the slightest idea although Whiskey Clear's chart seems pretty reasonable. One caveat, though, the word "depth" should be used sparingly, if at all, in connection with Georgia Tech football although I will make an exception for B back.
