Johnson on Lee, Days, freshmen

More from Paul Johnson at ACC Media Days in Greensboro, N.C., starting with everyone’s favorite topic. (No, not uniforms)

1. Quarterback Vad Lee has been pushing Tevin Washington. Johnson said he’s become more comfortable, trying to turn weaknesses into strengths.

“On this level, you don’t get to just do what you like to do and what’s fun,” he said. “You have to embrace the whole thing. He’s done that and worked hard.”

Lee has been in the football offices watching video and continuing his education.

Said Johnson, “I could see Vad playing some this year, definitely.”

2. Johnson said the starting A-back opposite Orwin Smith could be “one of two or three guys.” I’m not sure if he literally meant two or three, but Deon Hill and Robbie Godhigh would be two. Tony Zenon and B.J. Bostic are the other most likely candidates.

“It’ll be a group, anyway, a committee,” he said. “That’s the way we’ve always played. Orwin will probably be highlighted a little more than we have in the past and the other guy will be more of a role guy.”

Johnson said the rotation could conceivably be as many as six players deep, though, with this group, it’d be hard to imagine the snaps being split equally.

“It just depends who you’ve got and what they bring to the table,” he said.

On Bostic: “He’s learning where to go and what to do. He can get in the mix, as well. He could have a role himself.”

Of note: Should Hill win the job, Tech’s starting A-backs would both be from Central High in Phenix City. Props to the Red Devils.

3. Speaking of A-backs, Johnson spoke at length about quarterback Synjyn Days and his possible move to A-back.

“I’d like to get him on the field if he can handle it,” Johnson said. “He’s still going to play some quarterback. We’ll go into fall camp, see where he is there. If he doesn’t beat Tevin out in the first two weeks of fall camp, I don’t want him standing over there in a baseball camp. He and Vad are very close, too, to each other. He’s a good athlete. We want to get him on the field if he can take care of the ball, learn where to go and do all those things. There’s still an ‘if’ there.”

4. Chances are against a true freshman lineman playing, but Johnson said of defensive end Francis Kallon, “It would be great if he could help us rushing the passer or doing some things or Pat Gamble or (Roderick) Chungong or Adam Gotsis or one of those guys. Adam’s the one guy who physically is going to be a little more developed than the other guys because he’s older (he turns 20 in September), but now the speed of the game is going to be far different than his Australian club team.”

On if he could foresee a non-quarterbacking role for freshman Justin Thomas: “Probably not.”

Johnson said he’ll play a true freshman on special teams if he’s heavily involved. If he’s on both kickoff and punt units, for example, “you probably play him because he’s probably going to play 20 snaps a game. If they’re just on one of those teams, you’re probably not going to play him unless they figure in the depth (chart) on offense or defense.”

He said he could see a wide receiver or two or defensive back playing and possibly a linebacker. It would be more difficult for a lineman.

Last year, 10 of the 22 freshmen played – three defensive backs (Corey Dennis, Jamal Golden and Zach Laskey, although Laskey has returned to B-back), three linebackers (Nick Menocal, Tremayne McNair and Kyle Travis), two wide receivers (Jeff Greene and Darren Waller), guard Shaquille Mason and long snapper Sean Tobin.

Two years ago, six of the 17-member class played as true freshmen – defensive backs Fred Holton Isaiah Johnson and Louis Young, linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu, kicker Justin Moore and A-back B.J. Bostic.

5. Interesting answers about Miami coach Al Golden and the school’s NCAA investigation.

“It’s hard enough for me to do what I’m doing,” he said. “I hadn’t thought about it. I’m sure Al will handle it, do a good job with it.”

There was a follow-up about giving advice.

“I don’t offer advice to Al,” he said. “I don’t offer advice to any of these guys.”

The quotable Paul Johnson

On Washington: It’s “pretty clear to me he’s the leader on the team. I can see that.”

On if rules changes about blocking will impact Tech’s offense: “No. They keep trying, but they haven’t got it yet.”

As Johnson’s interview session wound down, North Carolina coach Larry Fedora had a large crowd at his table: “I’m going to go over there and listen to Larry. He’s having a revival.”

On linebacker Brandon Watts: “Brandon can fly. … When you put on the football pads, he’s one of the fastest kids on the team. He runs guys down like they’re backing up.”

Coach sounds more optimisitc this year!!! It’s his player lining up now. Don’t think we’ll see any of the linemen playing this year, which I believe is a wise decision. QB will be interesting as the years progresses. I think we’ll see Lee more and more and by the end of the season he might just be the starting QB. Tough decision for Coach on the QB beginning of the year. I think he just about has to defer to Washington since he’s the senior and defacto leader of the team. A Back will be deep, a heck of a bunch of quick, swift personnel there. Add in Days and they are that much better. Look for a few more carries for Laskey. He’s a year older and stronger. This year will define Perkins. Either he will show he belongs playing with big boys or he never will. Defense I think will be much, much better. LB corps will be strong and the defensive line will surprise some folks this year. Defensive backs are a cut above good and a half-step below excellent. They have to prove early which one they want to be. Special teams will be “special”. That’s my opinion. Which won’t even get you a walking dog.

I’m still waiting for some guys who have been around for some years now to turn the corner; Bostic, Perkins, Barnes, Days and a few others. How can you be in a system for more than a year, with countless reps and studying, and still not know where to go? If the receivers do not step up very quickly, we’re going to see a lot of Cover 0 with 9 guys in the box. I’m no genius but even the triple option will fail with 9 defensive guys in the box. Matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bud does this for the 1st qtr on Labor Day; Cover 0 with the corners playing 10 yards off.

They probably will outlaw his blocking schemes one day. Its dangerous. Man up and go helmet to helmet with someone. Don’t dive at their legs like a bunch of sissies. Anybody can do that. I’d be willing to bet that leg injuries go up when teams play Georgia Tech. I’d love to see the AJC investigate that. Fat chance. There are too many UGA football players getting speeding tickets.

to your dismay dawgfan, even your Dawg OL do the same, sissy blocks. You may want to watch that unit a little closer in the future, and you’ll see plenty of times where the Dawg OL don’t “man up and go helmet to helmet” either.

In fact, you could watch ANY team play, and see OLmen CUT BLOCK … it’s totally legal. And everybody’s doing it.

Other teams do not rely on cut blocks nearly as heavily as Georgia Tech. Its virtually all you do. Moreover, Georgia Tech is notorious for its cowardly and unnecessary cut blocks on the backsides of plays. Ask Deangelo Tyson. Ask any D-coordinator who faces your offense regularly. Its been well documented.

If your program wasn’t 14-12 the past two seasons and a complete and utter irrelevant laughing stock, this would get more attention. But alas, that isn’t the case.

Why would a completely legal block that is used by many teams get a lot more attention? Why are you crying about something that isn’t even against the rules? If you think it is a major issue then write a strongly worded letter to the NCAA and see if they want to change their rules because you and your defensive linemen are pansies.

After your center’s coward cheap shot on Tyson we were only one deep at nose tackle and still made an absolute mockery of your joke football program in the second half. 70 yards of offense Techie.

You’re a fine one to talk about cheap shots. UGA has been throwing cheap shots at just about every team they play for years.

Yes. If they can’t handle a cut block then they are pansies. Its a part of football and Grantham should be a good enough coach to teach them how to handle it. Here is a link also:

re:
On linebacker Brandon Watts: “Brandon can fly. … When you put on the football pads, he’s one of the fastest kids on the team. He runs guys down like they’re backing up.”
_____________
Cute quote from CPJ, now the harsh reality:

Brandon Watts is a RS-Jr. this season it will be his 4th yr. out of HS, and yet he has barely made any PLAYS during games that anyone can remember.

S. Hill was fast and incredibly athletic, but it didn’t translate to ON-FIELD PRODUCTION, it seems like we have another one of those guys in Brandon Watts, he couldn’t beat out S. Sylvester a much LESSER pure athlete than Watts is, and now we’re supposed to believe that the “light has come on”.

The Athleticism from GT’s players that CPJ has Recruited don’t seem to translate to what happens on the field, looking like Tarzan and playing like Jane won’t translate to BCS Bowls and wins vs. tough opposition.

Despite being a weed-head at least Muttville’s Alec Ogletree’s speed actually translates to games, when he is eligible to play in a game.

Our players at GT do very little FOR GT in games then show up at an NFL combine and make you ask, “where was that athleticism for the last 3-4 years”?

Makes me wonder are our Players getting poorly coached by CPJ’s hand-picked Staff.

Great info Ken. With our schedule, Lee should see plenty of time without ever becoming the starter. He’ll start if we lose a game or two that we shouldn’t have. Then let Lee and Thomas battle it out in the spring.

Look for Days to have his break out season NEXT year as Orwin’s replacement. We have to get his running skills on the field.

Maybe we will see Sir Francis, Watts and Attaochu on the field at the same time. That could be special. CPJ needs to redshirt Gotsis and have a twenty-five year old nose tackle for his senior season.

Another very telling CPJ quote:

If our DLs/DEs that have been in our FB program for 3 to 4 years, most are RS-sophs or RS-Jrs. are so POOR that CPJ is talking about help from a T-Fr. that only played ONE YEAR of HS FB, then that should tell you about how many “misses” Recruiting-wise that CPJ has made among his DEs.

Too many under-sized tweeners that NEVER should have been Recruited, now they are 3-4 years out of HS and they DIDN’T put on that 35-40 pounds and they DIDN’T get 3 steps faster, and now we’re in deep crap hoping that T-Fr. can help us out.

Here’s a list of these guys to Refresh your memories :

C. Crenshaw 6-3 256 4 years out of HS RS-Jr.
E. Cummings 6-4 275 4 years oo HS RS -Jr.
A. Williams 6-4 264 3 years oo HS RS-Soph.
J. Kitchen 6-3 270 3 years oo HS RS-FR. dues to academic issues

So far the starters are I. Cross at 6-4 300lbs. which is too heavy for him since he wears out late in games at anything over 285lbs. and E. Dieke at 6-6 265-270lbs. which is still a bit too light for a 3-4 DE.

To show how CPJ hasn’t learned from past Recruiting mistakes he signed R. Chungong this Recruiting class (2012) at 6-3 246lbs at DE ( a classic tweener) despite all those “tweeners” above that HAVE NOT WORKED OUT over the last 3-4 yrs.

CPJ’s Recruiting is killing this program slowly.

For some reason this song is stuck in my head and I can’t stop singing it………….everybody Wang Chung tonite…………everybody Chungong tonite………….

I dunno I can’t explain it……….

Seriously though CPJ is telling us that he doesn’t trust the guys that he recruited over the past 3-4 years to play DE at a very high level.

He hasn’t given CAG the “groceries” to cook up a decent meal on Defense.

“Yes. If they can’t handle a cut block then they are pansies.”

What part of 70 YARDS of offense in one half was so difficult for your brain to process? I’d say we’re handling the cut blocks just fine, as are all of the quality teams that beat your pile of crap program like a drum each and every year (VT, Miami, bowl opponent, take your pick). This isn’t an issue of wins and losses. Its not an issue of stopping your gimmick offense. Nobody is concerned about losing to Georgia Tech. Your football program is a total joke. The concern is safety. The concern is losing players to injury because your joke program doesn’t have the cajones to run a real offense and has to cut block to compete. That’s the concern.

Exactly. You are concerned that your big bad defensive players will not be able to physically handle a legal football block. Frankly, if they can’t then they should choose another sport to play. Football can be physically demanding sometimes and it isn’t for everyone. If players don’t want to get hurt by legal football plays then maybe they can play tennis or something.

By the way, good job on only giving up 70 yards in a half. Too bad you gave up 285 the other half. UGA fans really need to learn that a football game is 4 quarters and not 2. They had that problem after the LSU game.

I’ve rarely, if ever, known a coach who would not play his best 11 players, freshman or not. Having said that the ability for a freshman to come in a beat out an upperclassman is rare. Particularly at an O or D line position. Huge difference in physical maturity and strength levels between an 18 y.o. and a 22 y.o. If Gotsis or Kallon is talented enough and ready enough physically to play then they will play, if not they will r.s.

Simple statement from CPJ in that “It would be great if he could help us…………………but now the speed of the game is going to be far different than his Australian club team.” How freaking hard is that to understand? When are some folks going to understand that an 18 y.o. is at a serious disadvantage from a pure physical standpoint unless he is an exceptional athlete???

Let me see if I have this right: If a coach puts a freshman in the lineup, it’s because he doesn’t trust his returning players. Hmmm, I always thought it was because the freshman was probably better than the returning players and had a lot to offer towards the success of the team as a whole. As an example, does that mean that when Dooley let then freshman Herschel Walker start, it was because he didn’t TRUST his other running backs? Hmmm again; I thought it was because Dooley realized that Walker was the best back on the team.

I’d break it down like this:

GREAT DEPTH (can absorb injuries without losing much):
DB – Sweeting, Young, Johnson, Holton, Thomas, Golden all with a lot of experience
OL – Uzzi, Jackson, Beno, Finch, Bailey, Mason, Braun, Kidney, McRae all ready to go

DECENT DEPTH (can absorb injuries as long as it’s not multiple key guys):
QB – Washington, Days/Lee, and Thomas make me pretty comfortable here.
AB – Smith, Godhigh, Hill, Bostic, Zenon all seem decently ready. Losing Smith would hurt.
BB – Sims, Perkins, Laskey are all experienced. I’d rather not lose Sims though.
DE – Cross, Cummings, Dieke make a good rotation. If we lose two it would be bad.
ILB – Drummond, Nealy, Hunt-Days are a solid top 3 with Harrell providing depth.

MEDIOCRE DEPTH (hopefully we don’t lose a starter):
WR – Jackson, Moore, Waller, Greene, Henry make us five deep, but none are proven yet.
OLB – Attaochu, Watts are studs. Menocal has some experience. After that we have ?’s

BAD DEPTH (please god no injuries):
NT – If Barnes goes down we’re f’d

RBs and skill position players are different than LINEMEN especially DL/DEs.

Guys that are T-Fr. should not be beating out guys that have been in your development Program for 3 or 4 years.

IF T-Fr. can beat them out, then that means you have a lot of “dead weight” on your roster since guys don’t get a lot better after they have already been in College for 3 or 4 years, ergo there is no magical boost that will come in year 5.

Comparing Herschel from 30+ years ago to DLs & DEs from today (2012) only shows that you really don’t know a lot about CFB.

I don’t hate everything CPJ, but you guys are acting like defensive little wusses.

I simply analyzed something that CPJ said to the Media, he said that he hopes that Kallon can help out, yet he has 5 guys that have been out of HS for 3 or 4 years that are waiting in the wings to play at that same position.

I would be remiss to not ask are we at GT so bad at developing players/DEs that a guy that only played ONE YEAR of HS FB is being mentioned as helping when we have had guys in CPJ’s pipeline for 3 or 4 years?

I could understand an EXCEPTIONAL HS Recruit, Tuitt, Tomlinson et al, but a guy that only played one year of HS FB and you’re the HC that’s “hoping” to find help from him instead of the 5-guys that have been in YOUR SYSTEM for 3-4 years.

You guys are being too defensive in your defense of CPJ on this one, all of my questions are legit and more of you guys should be asking similar questions that I am asking.

Has anyone on this blog thought that just maybe Coach PJ is trying to motivate a few of his players?

He is a superb motivator (probably one of his best coaching attributes). The players he has publically mentioned in this manner are stoked/pumped and they will work their tales off trying to EARN playing time as a true freshman……………………..to clarify: I do not think Coach PJ is being dishonest at all; I am confident he will play the best player at any given position if the player on the team develops and proves to the coaching staff that they give the team a better chance to win.

Also…………who would work a little harder and be a little more motivated if the head coach stated publically that a T-FR might just earn playing time at your position??

He is a very dedicated and rather intelligent dude………give the guy a credit.

With regard to recruiting: (we simply cannot recruit with the Top 5-15 programs just yet; but Coach PJ & the GT football staff are building in that direction) he is doing a fantastic job & our future is very bright indeed!!!

All I can do is shake my head regarding WnE’s comments about the DL. Anthony Williams was a 4* coming out of school and had a “lightbulb” spring by all accounts. Izaan Cross is one of the top returning DL in the ACC. Emmanuel Dieke and Euclid Cummings both had solid springs and flashed brilliance at times. I think we will have a very good DL this year that will allow Attachou, Watts, and Co. to makes plays and into the backfield. That’s the thing with the 3-4, good DL play doesn’t always show up in tackles and sacks for the DL themselves.

I don’t how gollum’s psyche can handle being bombarded with so much negativity. I really am beginning to feel sorry for him. Having such a negative outlook about something he professes love for has be very stressful. Comparing gollum to the rest of the GT fans/supporters on the blog is as different as night & day. Those of us that are true GT guys are at worst guardedly hopeful. Then you have guys like me who are so happy that the season is close, we are almost giddy & overflowing with optimism & can hardly wait for Kick Off. Do we want GT to succeed? You bet! Do we get down if they don’t? You bet! Do we express our dissatisfaction? You bet! But come the next game, we are still 100% behind the team. Why? Because that’s what real,true fans do! Try it gollum! You might make some friends! You might even amaze yourself! All this negativity has to weigh you down

gollum—you say CPJ wants to play Kallon and other true frosh ahead of upperclassmen. He said, “it would be nice IF, as in gosh, we got some great kids coming, I wonder if they can earn their way onto the field. The young Mr. Kallon, per an article quoted during an interview by Ken, had 13 offers from major CFB coaches, including GT/CPJ, before putting one foot on the playing field for his 1st game. If he is truly that good, how do “YOU”, you gollum, keep him OFF the field and out of the games??? Enlighten us OH GREAT ONE!! Share your all knowing CFB knowledge with us, the lowly unwashed. We bow to your superior knowledge of CFB and your wonderous analytical BRAIN. We await your enlightenment of us, the unworthy, on bended knee with our foreheads to the ground.

Some morning commentary while we anxiously await Ken’s next great post.

I think Gollum—Win-E the Pooh poohead enjoys being the antagonist as it gets him attention something his mommy probably didn’t provide during childhood. If he agreed with everyone then no one would notice him. On rare occasion he can even be clever in how he can take a simple statement and distort it beyond reality. It is like watching a liberal think—another rare occurrence.

As for Cathy and his “Chicks”, the liberals are having a Gollum moment in distorting a perceived offense. Chill out—people have a right to express their opinion—if you want to smoke—smoke, if you want to be a homo sexual, be a hom osexual, if you want to forn-i-cate indiscriminately as promoted on most TV shows, then have at it, but don’t get whacked out because someone else doesn’t think it is optimal behavior.

As for Tech—it is time to see a solid and consistent performance this year. This is CPJ’s team. CAG should have the D noticeably better than the past 2 years. We have a focus on special teams which isn’t something that takes years to implement–if it works, then we should see results this year. We have a new conditioning coach that the players are amped about. We have the best O-line in CPJ’s tenure here. We have a senior QB with a hot RS-F right behind him and a playmaker at either QB or maybe A-back. Our biggest game is our first one and though it’s hard to win in Blacksburg, we have a grind it out Offense that can silence the crowd and be the Sandman to put them to sleep.

Aside from the ? at WR, we have a lot to be hopeful in 2012—watch us go undefeated and then have the world end on 12/21/12 before we get our shot at the BCS final!

__________

This post above only shows the outlandish lies and pollyanna-ish behavior from the “so-called fans” that only care about “defending CPJ” and don’t really CARE about the future of GT FB.

What you wrote above doesn’t make any sense because the player you mentioned A. Williams is THIRD STRING on the post-SPRING DEPTH CHART that was released when the pre-season Media Guide was made available this past week.

If A. Williams ( I wonder do his teammates call him A.L. Williams or multi-level marketing?) had this great spring as you claim, then WHY is he still 3rd string behind guys that weren’t good enough to beat out the MEDIOCRE guys we had playing last year.

Our DL depth chart is filled with guys that couldn’t beat out the mediocre guys from last yr., yet “CPJ Fans” ( I refuse to call you guys GT Fans) like you have created these fantasies that miraculous development will occur and somehow these guys will play lights out this season.

A.L Williams is the classic tweener, not fast enough to play OLB or LB period, and not big enough to be a 3-down DL, DEs in a 3-4 that are 6-4 264lbs. are just an invitation for “good teams” to run the ball down our throats. When those types of tweeners are in their 3 year out of HS it isn’t likely that they will get any bigger or any faster either.

Sadly, they are what they are.

Izaan Cross is not one of the top returning DLs in the ACC, his play as a true-Freshman was actually BETTER than his play was last season, the longer he has stayed in GT’s Program, the more he has disappeared and the worse that he has played. I. Cross might be a returning 3-yr. “starter” but he doesn’t bring the oomph that one would expect from a returning 3-yr. starter.

Dieke and Euclid Cummings have not “flashed any brilliance” at all, they are merely all we have on our depth chart so they are forced to play this season. These are guys that couldn’t take any serious PT from D-Line under-performers last season and yet you expect miracles to occur in 2012.

If I’m an OC or HC from an opposing BCS-level team and I look at our DLine and see those DEs that we are trotting out there, then I’m going to run the ball off-tackle all game long.

For those GT Fans that aren’t delusional, our D-line is a huge weakness, which is WHY CAG is trying to change the way we play our 3-4 across the line in order to compensate for our serious lack of raw talent on that unit.

Where did you get these accounts that Williams had a “lightbulb spring” when he came out of Spring Practice #3 on the Depth Chart?

The 2-6 vs. Muttville & Miami is the most disturbing because the last 4 years has been one of the most down Eras for those Programs and we are 2-6 vs. them combined and 0-6 after that first year when we still had you-know-who’s Recruits.

0-6 vs. Miami & UGA over the last 3 years and you are questioning if I have ever coached, maybe you should be questioning whether or not someone is earning their $2.5 million per year.

14-12 over the last 2 seasons as Chan’s recruits have left the Program while playing very easy schedules (the 69th & 71st toughest schedules)?

Clemson has been a 7-win program for the last Decade and are some of the biggest under-achievers in all of CFB.

FSU at the END of the Bowden Era is nothing like the F$U that Chan or GOL had to face, we’ll see how CPJ does vs. F$U starting in 2013 now that Jimbo has the Program back on solid ground with better Recruiting. Thay might have had the “name” F$U but they were a shell of what they used to be when CPJ beat them.

CPJ says Days fumbles alot, why he doesn’t start. I think sometimes players fumble because they subconsciously feel guilt about the need for a shotgun to be used like all the other teams use primarily. Maybe players try to communicate such need to CPJ by fumbling, or in other words protesting. Now it appears Tech will finally admit it’s not possible to win games by running primarily by using the shotgun. Tech should also practice using shovel passes more often, and using qb draws where the interior field gets cleared by wrs running to the sidelines and way downfield. Speaking of fumbling alot, nobody ever fumbled more at Tech than this black fullback Tech had in 71-2 seasons named Greg Horne. That guy just couldn’t find the handle. He was a veritable fumblebee. He would fumble it in mid-run, just lose the handle. Now the black qb we had, Eddie McAshan, never fumbled to my recollection. He was a tall guy who was from Tallahassee Leon HS, and he played basketball there also, but did not play that sport at Tech. I believe our defense will handle Logan Thomas this year, even at Blacksburg.

Its a bit pricey but you can’t just compare the two contracts on equal grounds. The market has changed, TV money has changed, and CPJ got a boost because of a fast start and interest from other teams. I am not sure why you are so personally worried about CPJ’s salary. Would it really make a difference in your world if he was getting paid a million less?

The only ACC school that has been consistently at the top in the last decade has been VPI. Everyone else is ebb and flow as a challenger. That is a credit to Frank Beamer. It seems FSU and Clemson are beginning to pull away from the rest of the pack in the Atlantic. VPI and GT are the leaders in the Coastal with maybe Miami improving. UNC may still not be out of the woods with the NCAA. Maybe Miami has more issues too. I think Tech is positioned to be the dominant team in the Coastal. We scare people with our offense despite it being mostly one-dimensional. Wait until we get a passer (Vad Lee–we hope). Maybe we’ve addressed out special teams issues which have been anything but special this last decade. And last is our defense which this should be a much better year if CAG is the supposed “genuis” that he is. We need to see it. The DL will be the question mark. In the 4th QTR of the UVA game, they just ran student body right, student body left sweeps and we’ve got 240 lb LBs trying to stop a 300+ lb pulling guard and they ran all over us. If they hadn’t tried to pass they would have scored another two touchdowns. UGA has been successful running against us. That cannot happen this year.

I am giving gollum a new name. Carnack the Magnificent! I reckon you old timers probably remember this character from Johnny Carson. He was a character in an oversized, bejeweled turban with a long flowing robe. Ed McMahon would hand him an envelope and Carnack would hold it up & touch it to his forehead, thus divining the question to the answer inside the envelope. This seems to be very similar to what our Carnack does in giving us all the benefits of his all knowing, all seeing CFB knowledge. I will capitalize gollum’s new name as an homage to the late Johnny Carson, one of the all time great comics. Selah.

This is Kitchens THIRD YEAR out of HS despite being only a RS-Fr.

Kitchens was denied admission to Auburn AND Tenn. State as a T-FR and didn’t enroll in any college after HS due to Academic issues, so this is his 3rd year out of HS and not his 2nd like most RS-Fresh.

WnE, what’s your take on the Georgia offensive line? How about cornerback and running back? Do you think they have a shot against Mizzou? What about Buffalo? Should CMR continue his tradition of singing happy birthday to 17 or 18 year old boys?

Good one, BLT. Since Gollum knows so much about CFB, then surely he has analyzed all of Tech’s opponents also and can enlighten us poor ignorant FANS as to what will happen this Fall on all those teams as well. I am just so unworthy even to appear on the same blog as such an incredibly brilliant mind. How will I be able to sleep tonight, knowing just how unworthy I am.

I wonder if WnE is married. If so, I wonder if his poor wife finds him to be as much of a boor and a bore as I think we all do. I feel sorry for the woman, if he does have a wife.

“Follow GT FB and know what the eff you’re talking about before you call out those of us that do actually follow GT FB!”

What you do goes way beyond “following” Tech football. There is a diagnosis for your problem but I’m afraid to tell you. Just keep taking the medication, avoid alcohol and get some rest.

I do not like to speculate Super but he went on a rant once and referred to “nagging” women. Based on that he’s divorced or single.

HighTech kept hammering him about cyber stalking Vad Lee and I think he had a break down. Almost seemed like he was screaming while typing.

Anyway, we will just have to persevere with the mediocrity WnE. I hope you like crow because you are going to have to eat a bunch this year.

@ BLT…..can you imagine having to put up with somebody like that every day? I can’t imagine him even having many friends either. It’s really sort of sad, you know
