(Anthony Allen and the Yellow Jackets got a pretty fair bowl draw with Iowa.) If defense truly wins championships, then the ACC is, once and for all, completely backward. Georgia Tech, now the reigning conference champions, have the BCS' worst defense. That bodes well for the Jackets, who just a few hours ...Published on: 6th December, 2009
(Demaryius Thomas scored a touchdown in Georgia Tech's ACC Championship victory.) That was simply a great game. Here are some postgame thoughts on said instant classic, column to come. Before I say anything else, please let me say this: If I had a Heisman vote, (obviously, I don't) C.J. Spiller would get ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
(Stephen Hill is fast. The halftime thoughts are faster.) Just some thoughts. Will be back with more after the game. Dabo Swinney says Clemson has to win on first and second downs against Tech's offense. That's not going to be easy; it's the Jackets' bread and butter. Clemson really put the clamps on Georgia Tech's inside ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
(Will Josh Nesbitt be called "champion" by Sunday?.) Well, bee fans, the decisive hour is nigh. At 8 p.m. Saturday night, a berth in the Orange Bowl gets tossed on the table between the Tigers and Yellow Jackets— may the best team win. Or something. Anyway, this match-up lost some luster after both schools ...Published on: 2nd December, 2009

Pretty well. Behold the Jackets who were selected: Quarterback Josh Nesbitt, First Team, 50 of 80 possible points. Running back Jonathan Dwyer, First Team, ...Published on: 1st December, 2009
Before you staple me to the bell tower and throw sharp things at my face, understand that I am perfectly willing to pass the buck a little bit here—this idea is not originally mine. Mark Bradley suggested in a piece today that Paul Johnson has his sights set on more ...Published on: 30th November, 2009
(Paul Johnson says great teams don't lose twice in a row. Time to find out if he's got a great team, then.) Cometh the moment, cometh the man. And if that saying is true, then there are a lot of boys in the Georgia Tech locker room right now. Gripe, Bee fans, ...Published on: 28th November, 2009
(Will this be Jonathan Dwyer's last game in Bobby Dodd Stadium?) Well, friends, the great day is upon us. Tonight, the Jackets and Bulldogs do battle again, as they always will on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. General wisdom says this is Georgia Tech's game to lose, and general wisdom would be correct. ...Published on: 26th November, 2009
(Joe Namath is probably saying, "No more pumpkin pie! I'm stuffed!" Or not.) Happy Thanksgiving. I give you one of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving traditions, Furman Bisher's "I'm thankful" column . That's it, just have a great rest of your holiday. I'll see you at the gym tomorrow.Read more NFL news on BleacherReport.comPublished on: 25th November, 2009
In case you were wondering, I've been writing a little bit more this week in honor of/in preparation for the Hate game on Saturday. Can't let you boys and girls go into Bobby Dodd Stadium unprepared. For more (read: better) coverage and analysis than mine, I encourage you to check out ...
