Another skill player defects from Ga Tech. I am glad we have a coach that skill players are excited about. In CUSA it would only take 1 or 2 skill players to really compete.

We need to add a graduate course that no other school in the country offers. Then we could get transfers without them having to sit a year.

Perhaps a "Sports Mismanagement degree". We could pull from past experience. Or maybe "Death Penalty-How to stretch the effects to 20 years or more". "Swinging Gate-before or behind its time". "Lack Track, or Bring it Back-you decide".

I like it how would you like to become a tenured professor mrydel? We have a total of 1200 professors for said course at Ford 6 weeks a year.

I think mrydel and jtstang should run a masters program in "stadium seating."

We could show you how to double attendance without having to expand.

I'm still betting on Paul Johnson. These guys had to leave since they don't fit. I wouldn't want him over June Jones but he'll win. He won't get prototypical qb's looking at him but he'll get the future Tommy Fraziers of the world who aren't being recruited to play qb.

Georgia Tech has already 'won"-that won't be good enough.

I totally agree with that statement. I still think, however, that PJ would have had a postive impact here. Since every offense for the most part in CUSA already runs the RandS, the "Jones Effect" will not have the same immediate impact that it did in Hawaii. PJ would have brought in an offense that although boring, would have been unique to the conference and perhaps harder to defend.

That said, I am definitely happier with JJ than I could ever have been with PJ. I think his expertise will have us at a higher level with the RandS and I trust that his recruiting will only get better when he shows success on the field. Also, his recruiting to the RandS will be easier than recruiting to the Run and Run and Run and Run.

Well, yes but I had to make it sound more "academic."

Not that its attractive to the average football player since its a computer science course, but don't we have a computer game design major which is pretty unique? I mean certainly some quality football players might suddenly have the urge to major in computer game design.

No [deleted], I know they've "won". Please substitute improve enough for the fans to be much happier there than they were with Chan Gailey who averaged over 7 wins a year I believe...Chan was 2-4 in bowl games and never beat UGA. PJ will improve on that

It's a masters program, and very rigorous.
