When the AJ-C throws you a fastball down the middle with a header like this, you’ve got to turn on it.
Suggestions are more than welcome in the comments. Do it for the Johnson Doctrine.

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

He will be fired after Aaron Murray has his best passing day ever on the Flats on Thanksgiving weekend. If we lay another haymaker on them (which we will), Tech fans will have seen enough. Most of them already have after the last two years. We all know that they measure their entire program vs. UGA, which is always hilarious. And the gap is only widening.
But I hope that they keep the Genius forever. They will forever be mired in mediocre results (at best). Long after he is gone, the Chantastic results on the field live on.

Paul observers (4) met for four minutes to come up with four choices on the meaning of, “Unless you’re Calvin, when you’re finished playing, you’ve still got to work.”:
a. Paul’s interpretation of the Coolidge Doctrine, “Duty is not collective; it is personal.” Calvin Coolidge, circa sometime.
b. Paul’s interpretation of the Matthew Stafford Doctrine, “Stafford to Megatron,” circa being short of first down;
c. Paul’s interpretation of the Pol Pot Doctrine, “‘macabre, bare-bones,’ ‘chemically pure’ ideology of the Angkar,” Pol, circa a killing break;
d. What Paul does when he looks for the University of The SEC.

Paul Johnson’s pitch to recruits: Come for the calculus. Stay for the in-season directional schools (oops. Maybe not Middle Tennessee State) and mid-December bowl games!
Really, I hear Boise and Shreveport and some high school field in Oakland are LOVELY in mid-December. If you’re a QB who can’t throw, or an OL who can’t pass block, or a WR who would rather block 65 times a game than run pass routes, or a TE who’d like to play some other position (because no such position exists at GTU), come to the Joke By Coke! If you’re a defensive player who doesn’t like getting all hung up on statistics like “average yards surrendered” or “points surrendered” or “wins,” and you like getting cut blocked at practice every day for the next four or five years, come to the Joke By Coke! If you like the excitement of watching big games between highly ranked teams on fall Saturdays, GTU is the place for you! Because GTU plays a lot of Thursday Night Fever games, and you’ll be available for a relaxing day in front of the tv on Saturday, watching all the GOOD teams play. Heck, because Atlanta is centrally located in the south, you may even be able to go see some of those good games in person!!!! Delta is ready when you are! I guess PJ really IS a genius; there really IS a lot to do in Atlanta (or near Atlanta) in the fall, for sure.

The most telling thing is the comments made by Nerds (posted below the story). They seem contented with the status quo..which is a declining football program coached by an unchanging, hard headed man that’s stuck in the past, while spinning the old saw that ” GT is superior academically”. It’s the lullaby they sleep to. It’s really amazing what they have come to accept. As GT moves farther and farther away from what it once was (an SEC school with a respectable program in a safe city with a Southern base and heritage), it will become less and less relevant as a football name. Bobby Dodd is just a slowly fading memory.

Using Dodd’s name in vain is sure to get a rise from the NATS. Thought they would get over that after they named a Dam after him.

There’s plenty to bash Tech about without pretending Stafford makes CJ good. CJ was good when Reggie was slanging the rock to him. Lets stay above board in our intellectual honestly lest we be a guilty as the Hive

I think he was referring to Calvin in the Pros as part of his sales pitch that says “You won’t be able to play in the Pros like Calvin because you are untalented and came to GT” as a sales pitch. Think that Calvin can certainly appreciate the fact that Staff is helping him get more press by getting the ball to him. I wasn’t denigrating Calvin, rather pissing on Paul’s parade.
I didn’t understand your reference to “intellectual honesty”. Did I do something to you as a child? I know! Didn’t put a smiley face there to tell you it was sarcasm. 🙂 Fixed.
