A little extra surprise for the Tigers in the Peach Bowl (it's the Peach, not the Chick fil A). Most of us are really looking forward to playing the Tigers again. I know it's been a frustrating year for you, but you still got a very good nucleus and can do serious damage on offense. We each played a good half back nin the 2000 Peach. Here's looking to both teams coming out firing on all cylinders. I love renewing these old SEC series and hope we can do a home-home as Radakovich works us through the SEC each year.

Who cares? I do. Not that it amounts to anything, but my opinion. And I think that's why we're working on it, we need to get better. It's PJ's stated goal for spring ball to install that O. I'm sure this is simply a little head start. Still, I'm sure we'll run the ball plenty enough for you.

the formation is the same. The point of PJ's O is you can't tell what aspect of the O he plans to run from the formation. So when we try the run and shoot (assuming we do) it will be from a variation of the flexbone that we can use for every other offensive play we can run.

I believe the run-n-shoot when I see it.

Because for decades Atlanta's bowl was the Peach... for something like 38 years. Then CFA decided the CFA Peach Bowl wasn't good enough and they bought out the name. Bad form. It would be like the Sugar Bowl - which will always be the Sugar Bowl to me - becoming the Nokia Bowl becasue Nokia threw a bunch 'o dollars at it.

He (and I) might be a traditionalist and prefer peach,orange,gator,etc. as oppose to "fill in sponsor here Bowl".

Honestly, I'll beleive it when I see it, too. But this will be a start to what PJ wants to do in the spring. We won't be good at it, but when all our WR's will be in man coverage, it could work for a big play or three.

I will be heavily drunk by halftime if we don't have 8 guys in the box 50% of the time.

You will have at least 8 in the box half the time, because it takes that to stop the option. Problem is, when Nesbitt, Dwyer or Jones break through, and they inevitably will, it's house.

This will be fun to watch.

You will be soberly watching a beat down then.

I have a hard time betting against the Tigers in a bowl game under Miles. The last time they went to this bowl, LSU was going against the top defense in Miami, JaMarcus was injured and Matt Flynn was going to lead the team for the first time. Everyone said they would lose and they dominated. Miles may have had a tough year but the guy as proven he can prepare a team for a bowl game.

It may not be what you would do, but I would find out if Tech could set a record for passing attempts, receptions, and yardage in this game.

I would bring corners with safeties covering over the top until you made me stop.

We'll see. It should be interesting to see how our players react with very little to play for outside of pride. With a defensive staff that has nothing to lose, I would not be surprised to see reckless play calling.

I just don't see this staff attempting to find discipline this late in the game, especially as lame ducks. Peterson and Eugene are aggressive tacklers from the corner position. Our free safety is probably the best tackler in our secondary, but he has only been at that position for a couple of games.

If they choose to sit back and play assignment football, history tells us it will be a long night. As another poster stated, Miles has done well in bowl game preparation, and I'm hoping he gets these guys in a state of frenzy. All they need is for something good to happen early for a change.

Run and shoot from the flexbone? Now, that's something I'd like to see.
