  1. maybe Interesting stuff

    --if you didn't notice ,the Braun's have a 300 lb 8th grader,offer him now -Alcorn st is the easy pick for their Conference champ,so may be a decent test,would be good for us -Laydrral? Marshall,QBfrom Ala, that we lost out on to Tenn--got slow start in 1st game -losing and getting less than 50...
  2. Question

    With so many lamenting the loss of Andrews and how we" always seem to lose guys"--a question. Would you have rather lost Andrews or JHD? Lots of meat to chew on there.
  3. Some more bball thoughts

    1.How ironic that Tech-Fsu is still on the GTSwarm opening page.As it turns out ,Eric could have used that same headline from the first part of the season to describe our many close game and just left it there. .The game description would have been about the same also. 2.More irony--CG got a...
  4. What went wrong?

    I didn't have high aspirations but I thought we would come out better than this.Here are my guesses on some reasons. 1. The emphasis by PG on defense and rebounding (or the lack of a skilled OFF assistant) ,worked to the detriment of a team that lacked real shooting/Off skills.The Off...
  5. Epic year

    On the ride back from the OB I had time to reflect on the game and yr.SWEET and amazingly so considering from where we started. Quick thoughts. -Not only was the bowl win a victory over the SEC but it also broke the habit of the Offense under-performing in the bowl. (maybe they need TWO months...
  6. Questions/comments

    .Is Smelter out of the bowl? 2.Someone had a stat that showed Tech/fsu was the in the top 5 most watched TV fball games--how cool is that 3.When will we know if Whitehead or JHD is playing in bowl? 4.Still amazing that Shaq is All-Am and not 1st team All-conf.CRAZY. 5.Has anybody got a real...
  7. So what accounts for this season?

    This has been close to a magical season in many respects,but how/why did it happen?.On paper,we had lots of concerns going in--fairly new QB,mostly new OL, loss of 6 starters on a Def that statistically were much better than previous yrs.We had some known strengths but sometimes even they can...
  8. New verbal?

    the Rumble seat posts a 6-11 guy from an academy in Md has committed.-3 star def type guy now
  9. What did I like about this game?

    EVERYTHING.Looking at the stats we won every category.From 3rd down % to penalties to punting to red zone performance to all def stats.We even had over 50% passing vs a decent team. The consistency of this team has been very refreshing even if all phases have not been particularly great (see...
  10. Be honest,

    would you have rather lost to uM or doook? This struck me last week when a bunch of Hcane fans were saying.--We can't lose to them,we have beaten them forever,we have so much more talent, etc etc Then it hit me dook had the same situation this wk as we did last... TWO wks to prepare for a...
  11. Comments in an off-week

    1.JT is a difference maker but of all his skills the most surprising to me is the non-fumbles at under-ctr with a new Ctr,Burden.. 2.Where would this team be without Smelter this yr OR last yr?--- just dropped from heaven - 3.Good to see Nealy back in form.That first game was scary. 4.quietly...
  12. What might have been.

    Just noticing some of the guys on the DL that we were close to signing but went elsewhere.Of course,there is the worst--Truitt( and his mama) who was All-A at ND .Now we have the Tomlison guy at Ala who is "making noise" I hear.The Lawson kid at awbern who was Fr All-A and was preseason allsec...
  13. It is pretty obvious

    what has happened to GT bball in the last several yrs after watching the NCAA /final 4. THE GUARDS esp the PGs told the story.UConn won because they have the best pair of guards on a team in US. (and oddly neither is big).They handled ball, shot well all over,played vicious def and HIT FTs...
  14. The new roster is posted

    with new weights as some have noticed. The guys that jumped out to me as bigger are Nealy 223 to 236 Devine at 370-I hope this not true Autry from 173 to 186 Jeune to 218 Noble 191 to 216 Joe from 295 to 326, hmmmm-somebody needs to close the doughnut shop early
  15. Who is the most indespensable player on team?

    We have only a few "stars" on the team but some guys are more important than others because of lack of depth at that position. The names that jump out are JT,Gotsis,Nealy, Shaq, Laskey,White, and maybe even Butker(if he punts also). In a close race-at this time-I'm going with Gotsis.If he gets...
  16. The details

    Yrs ago ,Hewitt made a decision vs UTenn to not have his FT shooter MISS a FT with 2 seconds left,to seal the game being 2 pts ahead.It would have killed the clock realistically.Instead, UT got the ball out with the clock dead.They then set up a play.Threw ball past mid-ct,their guy then shot...
  17. Tidbits from enemy territory

    I live in Alabama so we get SEC overkill every day-here are some bits Ga is the state with most sec recruits this yr-15%, with 14% Fla- no wonder we struggle saban and malzahn talk about recruits that can come STRAIGHT in as Fr to help them,so they have these superior athletes play...
  18. Why we had a 7-6 record

    Since recruiting day is almost here I went back to look at the '10 class and I was stunned. it is amazing that we did as well last yr as we did with this SR class. .The number of little or non-contributors was high esp at the top end where you would think the greater pay-off would come. Using...
  19. On early recruiting

    I just read an long article on Jameis Winston(fsu QB) which says TECH was the FIRST team to offer him--in the NINTH grade.Can anybody confirm this? btw--how to prepare for stardom--Winston practiced with QB sports tutor 2-3 hrs a day 3-4 days a wk for several yrs starting in 5th grade. he...
