Deion has been about selling "Prime" since he left FSU. I have no problem with that as he was arguably the best athlete ever on the pro level. He was the best CB of his day and arguably ever as he took away a complete half of the field from a QB. His speed and ability to see the play before it...

Deion is about Deion. Not one of the kids playing at Colorado for Prine gives a rip about the school, their history or the legacy they will leave behind. They are there for Deion and Deion only. If we had hired Deion, GT would have been the last thing he was selling. Good for him, but in 2 or 3...

I can't like this one enough. The option was different and allowed us to recruit guys who wanted to play P5, but couldn't in a regular system. JT was recruited to be a DB at 'bama but wanted to play QB. He was too small for every other system but was a star for us. We need to think differently...

Thanks for the help. Found it on Spotify

I can't seem to find this podcast on I heart radio podcasts; where can I find it?

CPJ had 2; Cut at dook had like 10. We starved CPJ out until he gave up because some major contributors wanted to win on recruiting day and talk about players in the NFL. GT doesn't play in the NFL and wins on some random Tuesday in February doesn't go on the scoreboard starting in September...

8 is the right number. Only adds 1 game beyond what we have now, includes all P5 conference Champs and 3 at large. If you win your conference, you're in. If your Cincinnati (or UCF a couple years ago), you're in. It keeps ND's hopes alive and gives the uGa's of the world a back way in if...

Unc game. He got drilled and was never the same as a runner after that.

Anyone remember the game in Athens a few years ago when CPJ let the dwags score so we could get the ball back with a little time left and a chance to score and tie the game? Memory is that we were down one, they were inside our 20 and their RB basically ran untouched into the EZ. The Reverend...

After the way CPJ (a likely HoF coach) was treated by the "fans" here for winning with the least money spent on the program the past few years, who wants this gig? You win an Orange Bowl, beat the Dwags (at their house no less) 1 out of 3 times, graduate your players and do right by them as Tech...

Glad to see you're still hanging around ILTO. Good perspective and a true offensive aficionado who appreciates the intricacies of the CPJ Spread Option.

Went to BWW to watch; wish I hadn't

Where is the game available online? I upgraded to get the ACCN for game one and we aren't on that one and my "guide" system doesn't show the game on any channel. Not a good plan for those of us out of town.

Been to Windsor a few times for the shoe show. Worth the trip from Detroit without question and was actually much better than the show in Houston.

APR didn't exist in those days. All the player had to do was keep his GPA over a 2.0 and he was eligible until he used his 4 years. We had guys who used their eligibility up and were no where close to graduating; not what we want from our student athletes but it was real. How many of the stars...

The explanation is pretty simple and you hit it early in your original post; limited majors. It is obvious where you fall on the CPJ fan scale, but he was very clear about this in an interview he had with Schultz a couple of years ago. His comment was that the academics can be overcome (your 66%...

Wrt the passes to A and B backs, I'd be willing to bet that CPJ wanted to throw the ball this year a whole lot more than we did. However, as much as TQM was a baller he is not a passer. We will never know, but I thought that next year we would have seen a throwback to when JeT was here. Hitting...

I don't think many realize how much the offense was our national brand. Every game we played on TV, this was the first thing discussed and the discussion was always how hard we were to prepare for. I suspect we will be just another team running the RPO from the shotgun and look like evrybody...

To address the Tenuta comment above, please know that as much grief as Gailey gets on this board, he adamantly believed that defense wins championships. I heard him say multiple times that he would recruit to replace every position on D, every year. If there was a player who could go both ways...

We will miss your insight here ILTO and it has always been an education to read your posts. Would that all opponents posters were as knowledgeable and personable as you have been. I think that we will know in less than 3 years whether the new approach of (hopefully) improving the recruiting and...
