Glad to be here
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As most of you know, Matt Winkeljohn is leaving the AJC this week and Mike Knobler has moved on to the Thrashers beat.
Ken Sugiura and I just started on the Tech beat; we’re excited, and we know we have big shoes to fill.
A little background on Ken: He has covered the NFL, prep sports and metro news for the AJC.
I grew up in Missouri, came here 11 years ago and never want to leave. I previously covered preps and the Georgia Force.
And I have something in common with many Tech athletes (not athleticism, though I was captain of my HS hoops team): Dr. X, the Tech team surgeon, recently removed my ACL and gave me one from a cadaver.
Old Gold Engineer, thanks for the welcome. I’m psyched to be here, especially with all the energy and interest CPJ is generating.
OK, on to my question of the day:
What do you think of Clemson’s Tommy Bowden calling Nick Saban — the coach who just whooped him — and other coaches for advice this week?
I understand it’s a coaching fraternity. They visit one another in the offseason, share info on new schemes.
But would you want your head coach dialing for help after Week 1?
NOTE: Practice update from CPJ coming later today in the Comments section.
