The Hive does unintentional comedy. Killing, Jerry. Killing.
There are a lot of programs looking for one-dimensional coaches right now.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Home, according to the way the score box is lined up by ESPN.

I still remember them talking about how Brennan blew off Tebow warning him that our front 7 did not play around when it came to hitting the QB. 3 qtrs later he can barely stand after the hits.

Yes, I meant Brennan. I got my Irish and Scots-Irish confused. I’m still buzzed, though (pun intended).

They say it is the exact same tackle the Bama guy did, but the Bama guy stopped and gathered strength before he threw him over his head….Ogletree threw him to the side in one motion and as he fell the guy whipped around because he is not a big guy.
Either way…chance of injury from that play is remote….chance of ending someones football career by knee injury is pretty high with cut blocks, but they will never admit to that.

Hey look, one of them actually uses their physics degree to understand the thing:
“Ok, I will give it a shot. Look at the clips more than once.
It is hard to tell on the 2nd video as it is in slow motion, but the Ogletree hit was a continuous hit, spin and tackle which although appearing vicious because Godhigh ended up head first into the ground was not flagrant or unsportsmanlike and the running back was not defenseless as defined by the rules. In the alabama clip, the MO ball carrier was wrapped up and forward momentum stopped, albeit briefly. However, the play continues and you can actually see the defender take a small crow hop to set up the MO player for the suplay (not suplex as previously described) maneuver. BTW, the suplay is not allowed even in greco roman wrestling at the collegiate level as it exposes the player to undo risk of injury. In the umpire’s opinion, the runner was defenseless and excessive force was used and therefore the penalty.”

“I am not so sure that [the UGA game] should be a measuring stick anymore with the obvious advantages they have. I think that if we compete for the ACC half the time, beat UGA 2/10, and go at least .500 in bowl games, you’d have to consider that a coaching success … all things considered.”
Reading comments like this one is almost as much fun as woodshedding Tech on the football field. Almost.

They’re already resigned to *celebrate* ensconced mediocrity.
And a 2/10 rate is even below their past 30 year win rate (8/30, or .2667).
You’ll see, of course, a few people referring to academics as holding them back… why don’t the nerds try comparing themselves to Stanford or ND if it really is all about academics then?
LikeLike
Not to mention that 2/10 isn’t actually the truth. Expanding the 1/5 ratio into fantasy 2/10 makes them truly, truly pathetic.

Barring some extremely unlikely conversion (Damascene, even), CPJ has obviously peaked at the FBS level. And, that peak is Kennesaw Mountain, not K2. He should have stayed in either Annapolis or Statesboro, but I guess his ego (and need for a major market’s mansiere selection) wouldn’t let him.

They are actually more realistic and sensible over there than I remember…

Anyone think GT might make a run a BVG for DC now that Auburn has broke up?
LikeLike
I’d say there would be too much personality conflict between he and the little skipper, but that would be making the broad assumption that either of them have personalities.

Just what BVG needs – a program with less talent and poorer fundamentals on defense than the place he’s leaving.

He might need a job, though.

Do you reckon BVG even bothers with the formalities of real estate agents and mortgage issues, or does he simply own one of those tow-behind UHaul deals and work the extended-stay motel circuit?
