Glad we have a winning season....

The players just wait until theyre off campus to go wild...

Still, its good. Sloppiness in keeping them going to class cost us a championship.

In the radio show with Teddy tonight, HCSH mentioned that Tech team is 100% academically eligible. He also mentioned that this Fall quarter the team set a new high mark for team GPA. This is something all of us can be proud of, even though it is off the field. He also mentioned that Tech football does not have the reputation like some of these other schools with off the field player problems. As someone who lives in FSU Seminole (there's another name they are known by) country I can appreciate that Tech's program IS well respected outside of Louisiana.

Coaching question: SH also mentioned that his wife stays on him as to why we dont employ a tight end in our game plan. (Go Mrs. Holtz, haha!) He said we don't use one. Why DONT we use a tight end? Seems like we could sneak that in from time to time for a sure gain.

It sounds like Skippy is trying to sell Tech fans on his "off the field" accomplishments. I guess that's what a coach does after embarrassing his employer against USM for the 4th straight year.

Congrats to everyone for the academic achievement. Well...isn't that what they are supposed to do, as STUDENT-athletes!?

I prefer the term athletic student. Student should be the subject, while athletic is the adjective. Student-Athlete implies they are athletes who happen to be students. At least in my mind.

The realization of the matter is they ARE Student Athletes, not athletic students. It should be the other way around, but let's not kid ourselves. Kudos to the staff, though, for keeping them out of academic trouble.

Fixed it for you.

Sorry if I'm not all giddy about nobody flunking out for a change.

So true.

He better be careful if this is the hill he is retreating to. History tells he will die on that sucker.

I couldn't help but be reminded of this (NSFW!!!!) Chris Rock commentary on lowered expectations:

I agree, that’s what I was arguing is that it should be the other way around but it’s not. Until we allow these 18 yr old young adults to be adults and make a decision about going to college or jumping straight to pro ball in any sport, we will have this issue. And probably have it even if we allow them to jump without even a 1 and done year.

You're speaking out of your trousers! No surprise. I'd love to see you call J'Mar a coward to his face. My money says you'd just nod your head and compliment him! Hahaha!

Whether he'd calls J'Mar a coward to his face or not has no bearing on whether he sucks as a quarterback or not.

Skip has never had a 10 win season in FBS football.

9 wins is his absolute ceiling as a head football coach.

It's now a race between the 2017 and 2018 team for most total wins in the history of EllAye Tech D1 football. The 2018 bunch has gotta win the last two games to beat the 2017 team. This is part of his weekly "stick a quarter in Skip and let him speak for 10 minutes w/out taking a breath" mantra.

Did a reporter really ask Skip if he says “stuffing” or “dressing”? Can I please get a press pass so someone will ask meaningful questions?

No, no, hear the man out.
