Posted by dedfischer on January 9th, 2010 under Football

I made up my mind this was the right hire 1 year ago during the contract dispute with Mike Leach.

Things are staying interesting for Tech football even after the dismissal of the Pirate.

Alamo Bowl Post-Mortem: Ruffed Up

Posted by dedfischer on January 4th, 2010 under Football

What a weird feeling without the Crazy Pirate on the sidelines.  This team looked a lot different to me on offense and I'm not sure we could have exploited the Spartan safety personnel in the fashion we did, if he was calling the plays.  But, this was just one game and Leach, more than anything else, proved to be an outstanding teacher of his system.  The guys who learned and embraced it always turned out to be good players for

A Good Ending

As I watched Baron Batch cut past the Michigan St. safety on his way to a game-clinching touchdown, all I could think about was:

Alamo Bowl Ponderings

Posted by dedfischer on January 1st, 2010 under Football

What's done is done.  Time to get back to the game and Ruff's audition.  Offense Young Lincoln Riley has a mighty task ahead.  I've heard over and over that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.  This is your opportunity Coach Riley.  I wouldn't over-think this deal and try to blow up the stat sheet with Mike Leach passing numbers.  We haven't been successful doing that all season with Taylor Potts at the helm, so no

Pre-Spring Starters: Dreams Do Come True

Posted by dedfischer on December 21st, 2009 under Football

If I had been given one wish for this recruiting class, it would have been for Ruff to dart and bag the country's #1 rated Juco DE.  Scott Smith is that guy per Rivals and has signed with Tech as a spring enrollee proving what most of us knew already, that Jesus is a Red Raider.  Former Tennessee DT Donald Langley signed as well and will enter the mix with Pearlie Graves to replace Richard Jones.  Not

Crystal Ball of Defense

One of the most frustrating aspects of the Leach era for me has been his laissez-faire attitude towards the defensive side of the football.

A Few Thoughts – Husker Beatdown

Posted by RRR on October 18th, 2009 under Football

I’m as excited as anyone to read dedfischer’s Post-Mortem, but here’s some quick thoughts: Carter Calls His Block On our last scoring drive, we had a first down on the Nebraska 43 yard line after a clutch completion from Sheffield to Leong.  I’m not sure what play was called, but Carter stops everything, calls Sheff over, and says something to him and Keown.  Sheff then walks over to Batch and it’s pretty obvious he’s saying, ‘Run to

4th and Long: Punt!!!!!!! @#$*!!!!!!!

Posted by dedfischer on September 21st, 2009 under Football

I've had some thoughts to myself since the post-mortem about the Texas game and where we're at going forward. Besides twittering the blocking assignments in the huddle to Brandon Carter.  I had a few questions coming into this game and here's what I'm thinking: QB Play - Strength or Weakness? My two favorite Taylor Potts throws were the sideline pass to Alexander Torres and the skinny post TD to Lyle Leong. I didn't see many passes

So Far, So Good

Four practices in, and from all accounts our Red Raiders are focused and fired up. Here are some storylines I am most interested as Fall Camp continues:
