I’ve been too busy march madness-ing (Studying, Picking, Watching) to really stay in tune on the blog, but… Here goes nothing

As most of you know, Tech begins Spring Football Today (Monday) and they conclude on April 18th in the T-Day game with fourteen practices before it. Among the biggest questions entering the spring? Let’s take a look at the three burning questions.

1.) Who will become the #1’s at Left Defensive End along with the two defensive tackles. As for now, I’m taking Robert Hall at end with T.J. Barnes and Ben Anderson at tackle. Jason Peters will wrestle with Hall for the end spot and will see significant time starting or not. I think Anderson and Barnes are more of locks. Anderson played a lot last year and Barnes is a physical specimen at Defensive Tackle (6′7″, 325)

2.) Anthony Allen…Where will he play? Well, the best guess is, everywhere. He has the size to play B-back and the speed to play A-back. I think he’ll bump Lucas Cox for the starting A-Back slot but will also get spot time at B-Back when Dwyer needs a breather. He looked great about this time last year and it will be hard to keep him off of the field.

3.) Will the passing game blossom? We all know Paul Johnson has insisted his offense isn’t a run only type of deal. He installed some packages for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl but Josh Nesbitt didn’t have time to throw a quick screen that game. If the offensive line can adapt to the passing game blocking schemes and Nesbitt can find rhythm this offense could be scary good.

Outside of basketball….Tech’s womens team hammered Iowa last night to advance to the round of 32. Tech, a nine seed, will now face Oklahoma, the one seed of the region. Can The Lady Jackets pull the upset? Let’s hope so

And now for a baseball update… In some Polls tech is as high as number three in the nation. Junior Tony Plagman, six homers and 29 RBI’s and Freshman Matt Skole, seven homers and 25 RBI’s are leading the way. As for the seven ‘usuals,’ each is batting well over 300 and the Jackets are feeding off of momentum. Derek Dietrich is starting to find his form and will make a case for All ACC and All American. They are 16-2 and 6-1 in the ACC.
