Like I said, he was a star player, he's just not a "superstar". There's a difference between a marquee level player (and yes, that means the guys who throw, catch, run the ball) and guys who are good players but don't get top billing. Unfortunately, vast majority of fans and media don't tune in to watch an OL maul a defensive lineman, and OLs certainly will not get top "superstar" billing. How many linemen make it to the Heisman stage even though there are OLs and DLs that are vastly better than some of the skill guys that make it to the Heisman ceremony.

I had some enjoyable time watching the TO, but I'm ready for "Big Boy" FB in the teams that I follow for the rest of my life.

Feeling lesser for running the TO is the definition of SDE.

There is a BAD BAD man.Good for 5 yds every time you ran behind him. (and still doing it)

You know, I just can't agree. I suppose its because I'm an old (believe it) OL. I used to relish sitting in the stands and watching our OL HIT the opposition in new and different ways on almost every play. Not waltz with them, not hug them, not push them and hope for the best, but HIT them. I took real pride in hearing that other teams players and coaches said - and they did - that Tech was the most physical game they played every year.

Ah, well. Perhaps this year "Big Boy" football will suddenly appear and we'll win a few more games. As I keep saying, Tech coaches have always been able to get to 7 wins reliably. There's no reason why we can't expect at least that every year. If not …

Do y’all feel it yet? The buzz? The energy around the players and coaches?

Really like D Knight’s bit. He could really be a breakout player for us and we certainly need a big time LB.

Georgia Tech’s 10th preseason practice was a session heavy on contact, as the Yellow Jackets donned full pads again Wednesday.

What did Ken say about running back rotation?

12 games.
Win half = average = 6
Play tough schedule and = 5 = that's no fun.

We think we should be above average therefore we are!
Omg
The other team thinks they are above average too !

Guess will have to use a hard hitting defense

I agree w u.
We can be the DK fan club.
He will have to play his way on to field.

Can I get someone to vouch for me and have a spot in this club. I think he is going to be special when all is said and done.

@iceeater1969 Tagged both of you. DK hit 21 mph in todays races at practice. Ken talked about how impressive that was considering he's 247 lbs.

If the "Big Boy" FB is anything like the last three years I will go with the Willie Mays approach: "It takes a man to play this game...but you got to have a lot of little boy in you too"

My observation is that every guy in that picture should lose about 15 pounds. And some 25.

 

[BuzzDraft]

I think they were saying he left to GO TO Ole Miss..

AFAIK he is still there:

Jared Ivey, his fellow Ole Miss defensive linemen and the linebackers are critical to the Rebels' success in 2022

Don't worry.... you'll see plenty of Ivey in game 3 on the Flats in a few weeks.

I felt it the past three years. Found out later it was nausea.
