Great stuff
I could comment on all of these links -clownish tiger uniforms (purple people eaters), terrified Kansas crows who confuse Tech students with Georgia felons and much more.
But let me explain how I think Tech’s offense came about. It was not from the single wing or even the wing-T. Coach Paul Johnson likes the run and shoot offense out of the shotgun. He likes that it often involves reads more than plays and thus takes advantage of mistakes by the defense. He likes that it spreads the field. He likes that it gets a defense on its heels and slows its reaction time.
What he didn’t like was that the quarterback always started off with a four or five yard loss. He also didn’t like that putting the ball in the air and relying on the quarterback and the receiver to read each other’s minds meant that interceptions and dropped balls happened a high percentage of the time.
So he moved the quarterback under center and he decided to hand the ball off or pitch it to wide receivers who lined up and ran like running backs. To keep the defense from keying on these A-backs he incorporates a full back dive on almost every play. But his aim is still the same as any run and gun -spread the defense and slash quickly through the gaps that are created.
I love my bullshit.

NObody looks good in Orange, even fewer look good in Orange and Purple.
I HATE playing teams with Orange in the palate, their fans are usually/always pissed and or drunk.
To wit:
UT
UFla
Aubie
Clemmins
maybe even the ’Cuse

Go read the Kansas comments
Respect feels good. I don’t remember a time when opposing fans had so much respect for us… Almost makes me wish we didn’t have to beat them… I prefer the hated underdog spot better then the respected “dark horse National Championship contender” position….
Clemson purple is ugly, but that might be related to the fact that the first time I saw them play they massacured us in purple at home.

That made me feel good too
Them mentioning us in that light was a welcome change from all the bloggers saying how we’re at best 4th in the Coastal…
