Springtime

I went to LSU this weekend on Spring Break as part of a longer roadtrip that included New Orleans, Baton Rouge and, eventually, Pensacola. Yes, that's me above punching a Tiger statue that had a GT helmet in its mouth. When discussing football with the students they had already forgotten the Chick-fil-A Bowl, so I think we should go ahead and put it out of mind as well. I was there and it hurt to watch, but it's over now. The end.




Spring workouts have gone well according to inside sources, and the spring practices leading up to the T-Day game start Monday. This year fans can expect to see more experienced players, better O-line play, and possibly more use of passing in a new run-and-shoot upgrade to the same Option Based Spread offense. Our recruiting class stole a couple players from a certain "football factory" in Athens, and has some promising talent (mostly from in-state...a genuine improvement). I'll try not to bring you things you can read on all the official blogs this season, and I'll try to add more of my personal flavor (classic ranting with a twist of crazy) into the mix.

Last season you, the readers (65% of you), predicted that the Jackets would go no further than 5-7 wins. I chalk this up to Gailey-era conditioning of the fanbase not to expect more than mediocrity. Only 20% of you thought they would win the ACC Coastal Division (which they ended up sharing with Poseur-Tech). I've posted a new poll to see how far you think the Ramblin Wreck can go this season. I'll bring you more as I hear the inside tidbits, and definitely bring you a breakdown of T-Day. Until then feel free to comment it up. I'll even take requests on what you'd like me to write about...especially if it's a question for the football program or me personally.

Go Jackets!
