I lived in Cloudman dorm and remember walking directly across Techwood to be first or nearly first in line for the games to sit directly behind the visiting bench. Beat UT 6-3 in 1966. Kim King and Lenny Snow. Freshman football games. Bobby Dodd's last year coaching. Watching away games at...

Miami was without 5 starters: #1 RB, #1 WR, arguably #1 OL, & 2 DBs. Most teams have injury issues this far into the season. It's debatable which team was more affected by the injuries.

I think you have some very good point heres. Tech outplayed Tenn for most of the game. After this game, Miami DC Diaz said that CPJ had a different offensive alignment on some plays than Miami had seen in film and he said he didn't adjust Miami's D alignment to compensate for the first two...

I think you are exactly right. Summers bring in short, heavy rains like that frequently so Miami practices in those conditions weekly.

Two of the other QBs there at the same time were Bernie Kosar and Vinny Tesdaverde, all behind Kelly. There's a photo of all of them together.

Ok. And so your point is?

I finally found someone who understands me!

You probably haven't read my intro message. I went to undergraduate at Tech, BEE 1971, MBA Miami 1985. So I like both teams. I wear my Tech hat or shirt along with my Miami shirt or hat whenever the two schools play each other. Tech could very well win this game, but that hasn't been the...

I doubt the announced number is false, as you say. It's the actual tickets sold whether the fans show up or not. I suppose if the ticket office is lying about sales, then you could be right. My question to people who question Miami's crowd size is why do you care? It's Miami's issue. It...

Oh, sure. Miami fans are a strange bunch, though. Most are pretty decent, but there is a substantial and vocal minority who are just obnoxious, unreasonable, unlikeable and ornery. If Tech wins, it depends how the game went. There are a group of fans that will gripe about the officiating...

I met and spoke with Richt for about 90 minutes this past spring and he seems like a genuine guy. I like his story about becoming a Christian and he has been tremendously positive about the players becoming not just good football players but even better men, future husbands and fathers and it...

Miami's D hasn't played the run up to their billing this year. They were better last year and the front 7 are all back. They are hoping to get in sync soon. I'm not sure any team that either Tech or Miami has played is very good except for FSU. FSU was talking about getting to the playoffs...

You could be right. I don't know the Tech team that well being in South Florida. Miami is thin at WR and RB so their depth is not where they want it, although the runners they do have are good. Walton was considered the best running back in the ACC until he got hurt. And Homer is averaging...

I like your analysis. Or you could quote Mike Tyson "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

While Miami has decent speed, they aren't where they are trying to get. And rain and wind is a frequent visitor to their practices so they are used to that. Their run defense, front 7, are supposed to be really good this year and sometimes show signs of being good, but the LBs are not playing...

I agree. I've always liked the character of Tech athletes and the whole athletic program. Very few problems and it's a school we can all be proud of.

The numbers I quoted were tickets sold. The crowds are usually late arriving so the stadium looks even less crowded than midway through the first half, but I usually guess about 10,000 empty sold seats. So if they quote 58,000 average, it's probably been close to 45,000 - 48,000. This year...

Hi, fellow Techsters... I'm an oldster just new to this board. Electrical Engineering grad in 1971. Helped build the ElectWrek electric car that we entered in the 1970 Clean Air Car Race from MIT to CalTech. We drove the Wrek from Cambridge, MA to St. Louis and came in 3rd place in the...

I'm not sure what the weather's been in Atlanta, but the humidity down here is still high. That could make it tough going in second half of the game. Miami themselves are just now getting back in game shape after sitting out for ten days or so during the hurricane. Miami Coach Mike Rumph was...

I don't know what Richt did at Georgia because I never really followed him or them...or cared. As for character, the Canes aren't the "character" guys of the old Canes. Miami tied with Stanford and one other school, which I can't remember, for graduating 100% of their players in the last...
