A funny thing happened after the Lane scoreboard had ticked down to 0:00 for the fourth and final time last Saturday. Tech had won! That was quite the unusual outcome, for this season so far, anyway. So much for the 0-12! The Tech team and coaching staff, seemingly remembering that they are supposed to be [...]
The A-Line Board of Football Experts Maybe it is the revenge of the Football Gods.

My bags are packed, I’m ready to go. Actually, they are. While they are still in the car from last weekend’s trip to Tech to observe the scrimmage and spend money and will be unloaded for laundry just as soon as I get around to it, that a few of us jumped the season’s gun [...]
