did i read that correctly, we are starting 2 freshman on the d-line on Monday? As good as these freshman might be someday, we are in big trouble starting these guys against a Big 12 team. what is the word on the transfer from Minnesota? Is he gonna get major minutes? I hope that guy does not rot on the bench. why isnt he ready to go? The summer school reason doesnt really fly i dont think.

Get a deal with Smart Pop Popcorn to show a Smart Pop ad with kernel popping audio on the JumboTron every time he makes a big hit.

1) How do you possibly feed a kid that size?
2) How does someone that size play football in the heat? Not saying he isn't in good condition, just wondering.

I keep wondering how more kids like this don't have heart attacks on the playing field during games!

Tech's line is HUGE this year...but make no mistake, they are fit and ready to go.

While the line is inexperienced, it is by far the most talented in the Leach era.

Tech is starting a true freshman on the D-line too. They are very, very thin there.

I don't think you can use "thin" in the same sentence referring to Tech lineman. Come on jt, rate it!

Pretty big statement after Glen January and especially Manny Ramirez left.

I was thinking about something along those lines but was too tired to look for the thread with that guy's dimensions in it. Apparently you were too. But in the spirit that great minds think alike I will give you a B+.

Glen never played to his potential...one of my best friends is Gabe Hall (started two years at RT)...so I would be biased against his talent as well, wouldn't I?

It is the most talent we have ever had on the O-line.
