    Alternatively,

    "GT has Johnson in Pocket"

    Happy news, he's a step up from Chan, but that statement would apply to anybody (except Charlie Weis).

    The big question now is whether or not DC Jon Tenuta will stay if no one plucks him for a HC job.

    Tech has Johnson in hand, indeed...

    Yet another bcs team that is as relevant as that dump i took yesterday. ACC is a bigger fraud than the big 10. No, I take that back you guys would kick their butts too. We shouldnt let all the 1AA teams have all the fun. WAC is ringin your phone and you took off the hook. Jim Treschels is hiding under his desk like an intern for Bill Clinton. Did you know he keeps his teams balls in his mamas purse?

    Wait a minute. We already have one crazy Irish supporter, IrishJT. Since he's not here, maybe Coondawg can fill in.

    On second thought, NOT!
