Revenue. Since most of our Regional Series starting on Friday, GT wanted to maximize revenue by have the 7PM game getting people who were working that day to boost attendance. Obviously if the series started on Saturday, it wouldn't make any difference.

Gives UGA maximum rest between games. Not surprising. Also since close to summer, chance for thunderstorms late in the day to delay 2nd game and have very little rest before Saturday's game.

first qb for me was Kim King. I went through 3 coaches in my 4 years at GT. and scheme dramatically changed with Pepper coming. But he led GT to a win over UGA in a pouring rain in Athens in 1974. GT was way ahead at the half and me and about 5,000 GT fans were the only ones left in the...

Duke goes down 1 in RPI and we do down 3 after we won the series. Killers were losing 2 to both UGA and particularly Auburn. Splitting both of those would have helped. But still no rationale of how we went down 3 spots

But the Big Ten made the brilliant move to get multiple networks involved with their TV rights and hyping their conference. The SEC got big bucks from ESPN but will not have the coverage that the Big Ten will have and ultimately the money.

But not in terms of money. The ACC and B12 are both getting way below the Big 10 and SEC but far more than any G5 team. Looks like the AAC is getting 7MM per team per year which I think is the highest Group of 5 league. That is far below the ACC or Big 12. So I completely agree that the Big...

Here is one list from one of the recruiting sites: https://247sports.com/college/georgia-tech/season/2024-football/transferportal/

Depending on how punitive this award became, it would bankrupt most D1 athletic departments. At that point, I do think you would see Congress step in versus having College Athletics collapse. The question would be what would the new structure look like? Making athletes employees and sharing in...

Yes but if Notre Dame wanted out of being independent, it makes much more logical sense for them to go to the Big Ten. I think they like where they are. Even if the ACC is weakened in football, ND is in the ACC for the other sports. I just don't see any rationale for ND to want to join the ACC...

I don't think it is this cut and dry. I do think teams being equal will favor the SEC and B10. But I think you have a 2 loss team after the ACC championship and being ranking in the Top Ten would have a good chance. Yes if everyone has 3 losses or more, no shot. But when you look at the...

Some of Durham's calls are pretty good as well.

I think the Big 12 would like additional teams in the Southeast to go with UCF which is on an island today. Put in GT, one of the Florida Schools and some of the NC schools and that would round out the conference nicely. That being said, if there is any hope in getting into one of the two...

Just made me watch the replay of this blocked FG in 2015. If that doesn't fire you up for the season, nothing will. I don't know how the game in Ireland will turn out, but I have high hopes for this game based on our returning QB and most of the offense and new DC Coordinator.

Effort including playing on special teams is what gives undrafted players a chance to stick. He certainly seemed to give 110% on the field.

More forecasts have us in vs. out for tournament. But obviously the last 3 weekends are brutal since all 3 teams we are playing are projected to be regional hosts and 2 of the 3 national seeds. We certainly will not sneak in! Depending on which place you look we have played up to 15 (to 17)...
