  1. Conference Realignment

    It is quite mind boggling. And some wonder why the ACC has become a non-serious conference.
  2. Conference Realignment

    GT is absolutely better off without the NCAA. As I’ve pointed out for a long time (and now others are finally seeing and pointing out) the NCAA is nothing but a front for the big boy schools who want to run the sport the way they want and to punish those who ask questions. GT‘s history shows...
  3. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I hear you. But the reason GT has fallen behind is because of GT. We could have offered Herschel two cars. We could have given Cam a million in Wendy’s bags. We could have admitted illiterates who would have bolstered our lines. We could have done a number of things that everyone else was...

    I hear you. But the reason GT has fallen behind is because of GT. We could have offered Herschel two cars. We could have given Cam a million in Wendy’s bags. We could have admitted illiterates who would have bolstered our lines. We could have done a number of things that everyone else was...
  5. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Of course asking old guys about the old days is gonna get the answer you got. But you know darn well if these same guys were 18 today they’d be taking whatever NIL they could get. And our starting QB who has led us back to respectability transferred for playing time and all I heard were cheers...
  6. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Heck yes today is better. At least now we know the going rate to buy a player and the champion actually earns it on the field. In other words - today everything is above board. You may not like it but at least everything is out in the open. Compare that to the old days where sports writers...
  7. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I hear you. I just don’t understand why your slippery slope just started. It started for me when illiterates like Bo Jackson, Marcus Dupree, and Herschel were allowed to play when they were clearly not student athletes. Schools have been admitting morons and paying them for decades yet now...
  8. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    So you didn’t cheer for Jhamyr Gibbs? You didn’t enjoy what he brought to our team and stopped being a fan because we brought in a pro ringer who got a better contract from Bama? You won’t root for Singleton who had multiple offers to leave but we ponied up enough to keep him. Some of you...
  9. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    This exactly. The ACC has no one advocating for them whcih is why we get dumped on, ala FSU. And when a team calls it out, ala FSU and Clemson, instead of applauding them the other ACC teams fight them. It’s a joke and the ACC deserves this slow death.
  10. Conference Realignment

    Totally disagree. Sankey would have had a major press conference with every ACC AD standing behind him and would have railed against his undefeated conference champ being left out. You know? Because we all knew it was coming and Sankey would have been prepared with his response. What we got...
  11. Conference Realignment

    I didn’t know we were talking 40 years ago. I’ll amend my statement then - the last 15 years the ACC leadership has done nothing to push the ACC forward. In fact, they have gotten out hustled at every turn by those leaders who think about the future and not the present. I’m not that mad at...
  12. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    And that’s great. I’m just tired of reading from our fans that they are going to give up the sport they’ve loved for decades because they have some “days of old” perception in their minds that don’t line up with today’s game. To me, college football in its ”intent” has been dead for at least...
  13. Conference Realignment

    Yeti, the answer is obvious. The only thing ACC leadership has done in a long time has been to sue its own members. That’s where we are. We do nothing about the BIG/SEC/ESPN triumvirate, but we go all Rambo on our own members. It’s just funny at this point. All you can do is sit back and...
  14. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    What are you talking about? I went to GT and my kids go to GT. That’s why I root for GT. I don’t root for players, I root for the jersey and the team. At the end of the game the scoreboard doesn’t say - Haynes King 27 Duke 10. It says GT. I don’t care if GT’s QB transferred in from Texas...
  15. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I am watching pro ball. Do regular students have a special admit procedure? Or cafeteria? Or individual tutors? Or free gear? Or NIL money? Listen, I wish it was the 1950’s again and we could all leave our screen doors unlocked and every player fought for love of school. But, after I’ve...
  16. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Great. Now win games because no one comes to campus to watch a player take tests. You guys who still believe in terms like “student-athletes” should rejoice. For the other 99.9% of fans, we could care less what a player does with his life other than 12-15 game days each year. That may sound...
  17. 2024 Schedule Difficulty - Projections per CFN

    Impressive to who? FSU just went undefeated and the entire nation yawned and laughed including many GT fans on this board. GT could go 10-2 and no one will give us two thoughts. Until we do it for several years no one care and even then the6 won’t because the ACC, proven by the committee, is...
  18. Conference Realignment

    Just be ready to be shocked then. Just because some schools passed up opportunities to join a better conference doesn’t mean others will. The ACC as you perceive it only exists in your head.
  19. I'm starting to hate FSU fans.

    In the ranking of hate FSU doesn’t crack my top 20. They’ve never done anything against GT for me to hate them. In fact, they’ve given GT some of our biggest wins in our history
