  1. On Purpose or Just Happened?

    Watch the items in the AJC regarding UGA and Tech news. Just one of many examples is today's reporting on the scrimmages from GT and UGA. The article on the Tech Scrimmage was for paying customers only, while the article regarding UGA's scrimmage was free to all. Now, the High School recruits...
  2. Contract Renewal

    Paul Johnson has just been given a contract renewal through the year 2020 to assure recruits that he will be at Georgia Tech for the long term.
  3. Basketball Coaches In Tournement

    This is nothing more than my personal perspective from watching the basketball tournement. The two coaches who made the best impression on me from their ability to analyze the game, make changes during the game, and their demeanor from the bench are the coaches from Virginia and Florida. Of...
  4. Virginia's Basketball Coach

    I believe Virginia is going to be a force in the ACC for awhile. I like the demeanor and coaching of their present coach. I observed him carefully during the tournement games. He is calm and does not seem to lose his focus on the game. He appears to be analyzing the team as it plays the game...
  5. Stupidity of Coaches

    It seems over and over the coaches put their players in a position to lose instead of win. I don't care how much or how little time is left in the game, it is a demonstration of stupidity for a coach to have his offense wait until there is only 10 seconds left on the shot clock to start a play...
  6. Football Practices

    Pittsburg has determined to delete the intrasquad games after the end of Spring Football Practice. There have also been efforts to eliminate fans at football practices. I understand part of the reasons, but I also know that fans must be enthused in order to buy tickets. Personally, I think it is...
  7. SEC and Drinking

    The SEC is thinking of easing restrictions at some of the football games. This would be a bad rule. It is already bad when some fans sneak alcoholic beverages into the games. There are already too many jerks at every football game who want to cause problems. It only increases their odds of...
  8. Kudos to UGA Basketball

    It appears the UGA men's basketball team is finally on the rise once again. This makes for a healthy round of competition between Tech and UGA for all future games. I think both Tech and UGA having good basketball programs will entice more in-State players to remain in the State to play for both...
  9. Brian Gregory & Tech Basketball

    I think the analysis is still out on Gregory. The improvement was minute in his first couple of years, but headed upwards until this year. If we had not lost some players to injuries, possibly we could have improved slightly this year. It seems probable and wise to see how Gregory does next year...
  10. Ladies Basketball Team

    Wait till next year! Lady Jackets still a competetive team. An article in the AJC indicates that the State of Georgia is very fertile ground for recruiting of female basketball players. We seem to be getting some good players, but we need someone to put us over the top.
  11. GT COACHING HISTORY

    First, I would think some posters should be wary of their comparisons, due to comparing Paul Johnson with some of our very inept coaches of the past. Bud Carson had a total career record of 27-27 and only coached at Tech as a Head Coach. By the way, he also accumulated some baggage which may...
  12. Smoke Screen On Statistics

    The article in the AJC stating that PJ's teams are in line with Tech's history of football is completely misleading. It stated that Tech has never had a consistent record of double-digit winning seasons. This may be so, but it is also true of most teams in the NCAA. In the past, there were...
  13. A. J. McCarron

    An article states that McCarron feels disrespected. It probably stems from the fac that he is not that highly esteemed among all the pro candidates. This should be an eye opener to those wishing to reach the pros, especially a quarterback. The pro scouts look at all the pro candidates from...
  14. 2014 SEC Predictions

    East Division South Carolina Georgia Missouri Vanderbilt Tennessee Florida Kentucky West Division LSU Auburn Alabama Ole Miss Texas A&M Mississippi State Arkansas South Carolina beats UGA in South Carolina. South Carolina, UGA, and Missouri fight it out for first place in the Eastern...
  15. Title Category

    This Category can be changed from "College and Pro Sports" To Pro Sports" if the NCAA decides the Colleges can pay the players in the future. I quit watching all pro sports about 30 years ago because of the greed as opposed to the sportsmanship. I have not even watched a Super Bowl, World...
  16. The Linch Pin of Winning

    I fully believe a team is a mirror image of a coach regardless of the caliber of players he assembles. I believe the coach is the most important ingredient in the process of winning. However, it is true that once a coach has established his credibility as a winner, he naturally attracts better...
  17. Coaching Options

    Since so many topics break down into the present coach and future prospective coaches, I decided to add a topic about this and throw in a first post under it. There are some things that are useless. O'Leary will never be back at Tech, neither will Friegden, nor Gailey, etal. They have about as...
  18. University of Central Florida

    Congratulations to George O'Leary and the UCF. They really showed up bigtime this year.
  19. Today's College Football & Athletes

    I was watching the Tulane and Louisiana-Lafayette game last night and began to ponder again the bad injuries sustained by some of the athletes. One of the previoius players was on the sidelines in a wheel chair with paralysis from the neck down. Of course, showing this situation may be to gain...
  20. Coray Carlson

    I did not recognize this name when I saw it in the sport's section. Kudo's to you Coray for hanging in their and having a good attitude about your tenure on the GT football team. I am sure you will succeed in your goals with the Chemical Engineering Degree. I hope we get ahead in the...
