Yeah, it wasn't all on Glennon. I remember a couple of big plays in the 2nd half that flipped that game. 1 was on UGA's 1st poessession we had them in 3rd and long pinned deep on their end of the field, they picked up the 1st down and flipped field position on us and the damn broke. but that onsides kick changed the game. I think we used that the next year at GT.
the other was a picture that I saw on TSL where Glennon had like 3 or 4 UGA defenders drapped over him while the O line was blocking noone.

that sometime this week, they will announce all the changes at once, and that they will be names that either haven't been discussed at all or only briefly.

Montgomery could be joined by Randy Clement, Baylor's OL coach. They coached together at Stephenson HS. Another interesting note about Baylors coaching staff, HC Art Briles son, Kendal, is the WR coach and Passing Game coordinator. The RB coach, Jeff Lebby, married Kendal's sister, Art's daughter.

Theory: Montgomery and Clement are tired of working for the family business if they aren't in the family?

(But, probably not. Clement and Montgomery both coached under Briles @ Stephenson HS in the early 90's, they owe everything to him. This is probably just the normal "flight directory" ridiculousness)

Did you see the one flight from (I think it was from) Ohio University? That one was interesting. There's also an arrival from Clemson haha.

Worst I saw Live
1. BC 07
2. Miami 05

Worst I saw on TV
1. Boise St
2. Auburn

In hindsight I think the worst loss was that Auburn sugar bowl, because that was going to be the biggest reward, knocking off an undefeated "God's gift to earth" SEC team.

...I got really, really good at drinking that fall. I was blindly angry all football season.

Baylor is less than 2 hours from Denton, south of Dallas (whereas Denton is north of Dallas).

But, of note, Montgomery was a HS coach in TX before joining Baylor. In particular, this possible coincidence:

"Prior to joining the (Houston) Cougars' coaching staff, Montgomery served one year as the offensive coordinator at Denton (Texas) High School and helped the team to a 10-2 record and the 2002 bi-district crown."

He also coached at Stephensville HS (with Baylor HC Art Briles) which isn't far away from Denton or Waco.

Montgomery was rumored as an OC for VT in December.

I just want to say I find it a little too convenient that in that last three years, we lost to JMU (former stomping ground of Stiney & Newsome) and lost three times to Clemson (former home of O'Cain)!

Haha, let's make the next coaching hires swear and affirm their allegiance to VT Football!

It hadn't been a bad bowl season for me so far, ...being stationed in Shreveport I got to see UNC lose to Mizzou in the independence bowl. I then packed things up and went to Atlanta to see UVA lose to auburn in the Chik-fil-A bowl on New Years Eve. Then to top it off, I headed down to New Orleans to watch my Hokies for the FIRST TIME EVER in person (couldn't afford it growing up...and being stationed in Louisiana now makes it even harder) It was like a God Send. ...anyway, I'm in New Orleans, I'm at a BCS game, I'm amongst other Hokie enthusiast such as myself. Awesome.

And then the catch happened. I shed a tear. We opted to drive back to Shreveport that night. I didn't say a word. 5 hour car trip. Not one word spoken.

I still refuse to talk about the game actually. I can't get over it.

Meh, what took them so long?

I'll be excited about being in the ACC, if it starts becoming a feared football powerhouse. I'd still rather go to tough away games in Columbia, Athens, Gainesville, and Knoxville than see us travel to Wake Forest or Duke (among others).

That weekend was a serious instance of Bleaksburg. Seemed like the whole campus was depressed for days afterward.

Agree with you on the Georgia game (Chick-Fil-A Bowl).

I was there at the game and I cannot remember another game where I went from such highs to such lows after half time. I remember talking trash to UGA fans during half time when we were just dominating them and it looked like we would cruise to an easy victory.

This was our chance to show the SEC that we could play with them, and that we deserved a better bowl that year.

After half time it was a complete meltdown. Most people remember Glennon's miserable performance in the 2nd half, but there was also the horrible special teams play that would become a trademark of our later frustrations. UGA kicked a quick field goal and then caught us off guard with an onside kick where it looked like our special teams telephoned the kick-off in.

I think that game started the downward spiral for me that continued with Boise State, etc. where I started to put up an emotional wall from getting stung by my team.
