Georgia Tech blog FromtheRumbleSeat puts together a fairly positive retrospective of outgoing QB Tevin Washington.

They’d beat the Oregons, the Virginia Techs, and the Georgias of the world, and they earned our respect. Their coach Chris Peterson stayed at Boise St., and we liked that too. …

Looks a good poll question to me… Simple question Who’s going to win the national championship Notre Dame or Alabama? I know alot people don’t give Notre Dame much of a chance, but I think the Irish have a shot because of their physicality on defense. I don’t expect Bama to have that much success moving the …

Conference expansion or contraction or realignment or whatever they are calling it these days took another turn today with the Big East basketball schools splitting from their football counterparts.

This will be a short post tonight, but I wanted to put some thoughts down on what I saw tonight in Charlotte, NC. First it was a heckuva effort by Georgia Tech. When they got down 21-3, it looked like there were going to get humiliated. In the 2nd half they played with a defensive …

Hey there is an actual football game Saturday! The ACC Title game in Charlotte between Georgia Tech and Florida State.
