  1. ProJackets Update

    Yes. Too bad we never saw a backfield with Dontae at AB. He would have killed it. Instead, we had to watch as TFG wasted his talent.
  2. GT Nightmares

    I have dreams like that too. Normally it's that I haven't prepared for a class I didn't know I had to teach. Oth, I actually lived that one. I'm in grad school and I get an opportunity to teach a year at a small college. But I have to get ready in a week. And one of the classes is Political...
  3. GT Research at its finest!

    Yes. Then again, you'd expect that the Russians would go ahead and perform the experiment on the spare prisoner or so. They do it in Ukraine, so why not for science!?
  4. ProJackets Update

    What I liked is that Dontae ran a 4.48. That, sports fans, is trucking.
  5. Spring Practice

    Or we could just re-hire Woody. He sorta specializes in this kind of thing and has been successful when the players get used to it, something that never happened at Tech but has at Army and App State. But I'm pretty sure that any DC with brains (there are some, I suppose) could do this. I...
  6. Parking for 2024?

    This is in the nature of a request and there is no reason why anyone should drop everything and reply unless they feel like it. I live in mortal fear that I have missed the e-mail for submitting parking applications that the TECHTIX people say is still in the works. I really can't attend the...
  7. Spring Practice

    True, but this doesn't mean that Tech will have an easier time integrating new players. This kind of thing is an art, not a science.
  8. Spring Practice

    One thing: it isn't unusual for teams with a lot of new people coming in to gasp a bit until mid-season. Everybody is expecting great improvement, but it might not emerge; indeed, I expect Tech to be about the same as last year on O and maybe a bit behind. It'll take awhile for everything to...
  9. GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    Like I said, except for the communities involved. A lot of them are medium sized cities that really made money out of the bowls. They won't like this one little bit. The bowls will die if the product is adulterated. And I'll miss them since those are the bowls that Tech often goes to and I...
  10. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    My favorite from the guy: What is this? It is a prolate spheroid, an elongated sphere-in which the outer leather casing is drawn tightly over a somewhat smaller rubber tubing. Better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football. True then, true now.
  11. GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    All this is true. But let me change the subject a bit. What worries me now about college football is that the non-CFP bowl games may be in big trouble going forward. The Ugag v FSU debacle is, I think, a harbinger of the future. If players transfer out before bowl games or sit out because they...
  12. College football is a mess

    I think Congress will beat them to it. Substantively, that is. The college game needs to step up and save itself. Not likely, but if they don't somebody else will. Here's what he'll look like:
  13. New GT WR Coach (rumored per 247 sports): Trent McKnight

    Yeah, I know. But I think it remains to be seen if the recruiting base at Oregon remains steady with the move to the Big 10. We'll see about some of the others too. I do think that GSU made a good hire with McGee.
  14. New GT WR Coach (rumored per 247 sports): Trent McKnight

    Well … so far. How long this will continuer will depend on how well the first wave of HC hires works out. If they can't deliver long run, it'll be a different story.
  15. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    As I have sometimes said before there ought to be degrees of "like" here. If there were I'd like this 1000%! Still, I think Tech can do it! With a little sheer bum luck, that is.
  16. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    I always understood the criticisms of Sewak and I also understood why Paul kept him on. It's important, I think, to remember that Sewak was former head coach at Southern and was very successful (35 - 14 and 2 championships in four years) at the job. And all this running the spread option. You...
  17. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    As you may have guessed by now, I'm very, very reluctant to get on Paul's case about anything. His decision to put Laskey out there to return punts was a frosh is an exception. The 2015 team with him on the field as a red-shirt senior would have won at least two, maybe 3 more games. He would...
  18. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    I agree, but the way Tech ran a simple belly dive over and over right down the field in the 3rd quarter showed a lack of adjustment we all came to know and deplore when TFG became Tech's coach. And, btw, every word Paul's says is 100% correct.
  19. Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    Are you ever right. As I've said here before, Tony was another O. J. Roughly the same size - OJ was an inch taller, Tony 5 lbs heavier - and the same results: 5 yds, 4 yds, 15 yards, 5 yds, 25 yds and so on. Give him hole of any size and a clear field with DBs within 5 yds and it was game over...
  20. Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    Indeed? Let's look at the inter-conference records, shall we? ACC win-loss records against other P-5 conferences, 2023: SEC: 7 - 5 BIG: 4-4 BIG12: 1- 4 PAC12: 0 - 1 Overall: 12 - 14 And, for reference sake, overalls against all out-of-conference opponents in 2023 for : SEC: 12...
