The "Collins effect "........

[GT_05]

The way the stands have looked recently, y’all should just be happy when people think about Tech at all. We can school everyone on the colors later.

When the barbarian hordes attack us in untold millions, I want you in the foxhole with me. Your attitude is what overcomes.

If there are really untold millions of barbarians then you are going to die anyway. You might as well die smiling.

ALL the above are validations why we need a W / G / W uni with no other trim color.

But, my gosh, black & anything is so drab and such a downer. Depressing looking.

oh weird - a uniform thread.

Well, you've got to have some kind of trim, and black is no more drab as trim than navy is. Hell, we used black trim for the vast majority of the Dodd years.

Apparently, Julio's nickname in high school was 'Waffle House'.

And it is past time we get past what almost killed our program.

Joe Pettit died in 1986. I'm pretty sure we've gotten past that.

OMG. I was there for the Pettit years. It’s a miracle football survived. As I recall, Kim King, the young left handed, threatened to mobilize the alumni and oust him. Pettit, in turn, hired Curry.

I watched some of Carolina vs Tampa Bay last night. Aside from Newton not being able to throw because of his shoulder, the offense is similar plays, same positions as ours. About 30% of the snaps are under center.

For recruiting, the “schematic advantage means you can live with a recruiting disadvantage” probably hurt our recruiting. No good running back wants fans or scouts thinking their yards and points come from the system. Having a system that gets backs a thousand plus yards is a good thing. Letting a message get out that you can do more with less gave a hurdle to overcome.

Collins is getting kids to dream of being a star, and that’s a good thing

I agree re: the hurdle in recruiting we probably created ourselves. However, to compete on a higher level than we were the past 10 years (which I assume is the goal), we will have to get a comparable number of blue chip kids dreaming of being stars as Clemson and UGAg get. Will that happen? I sure hope so. Because while I do see a schematic edge from this staff on defense, potentially, I doubt we will have a decided schematic edge on offense. We'll need the talent.

TStan has stated repeatedly that this is not the goal.

Well, ... first time in 36 years

I thought about making this a whole thread, but here are some thoughts by current players on what they think of Collins as a coach.

How it feels to be the first GT team in 36 years to lose to an FCS team ... and probably capitalization rules

Seriously, there's no reason to try and turn every thread into a fight. It's great that our players are behind our coach. Hopefully, on the field begins/continues, and we win and end strong.

It’s a meme format.
