You know something about this? Btw, if this was true, then, given Knight's talent level, it is yet another indictment of TFG and his "decision making". I always suspected that he wanted to favor players he had recruited on both sides of the ball, whatever their talent and experience; why else...

Yes, I think Major League Baseball and the NBA are probable models for the final result. What I don't know is how the NFL will finally fit in. Will the league contact potential breakout players before the colleges do? In short, will the quality players be going to schools that the NFL dictates...

See: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/05/19/Labor-and-Agents/nlrb-complaint-pac-12-usc-ncaa.aspx?ana=mk_sbd_da_emda What the NLRB is saying here is that collegiate athletes (in full scholarship sports, I assume) are employees and would be treated as such. Hence a lot of...

I believe it. AI (the very term is a deception) is still in its infancy and would return just htis kind of flapdoodle. I expect that as language processzing improves, so will the quality of the results. No doubt you'll have a choice of whether you want an honest assessment base on the facts or...

Endeavor, by a wide margin. My wife and I have been watching from the first season and have 6 more to go. Good acting, good scripts, good direction. And it's all set in Oxford in the mid-50s. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.

If I had to guess - I don't but WTH - I'd bet that it was the decision to not knock during the week. Now, if you are Bobby Dodd and had a lineup absolutely packed with what would now be 4 and 5 star players, you could afford to limit full contact in practice and have volleyball games the day...

Yesssss. And it never mentions that "recruiting for the ACC"was not something Paul found it too hard to do. The problem = recruiting for the ACC while running an offense like everyone else. Sure enough, that caused problems with our scoring. (The D was not much better either, despite all that...

So I was right. This happens all the time.

Am I right in assuming that offering a "scholarship" to cover the $100 cost would violate NCAA rules? If not, Tech should ask us to chip in.

I think this pinpoints the main problem Tech has: lack of a proven, experienced, winning QB. I think the talent is there. Others here point out that we don't have any breakout studs on this team. That if true, but irrelevant. The overall talent is actually pretty good and the depth is adequate...

Well, in all cases it is a matter of what could have been. Let's take Graham, for instance. Here's his junior year highlight reel: https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2017/12/22/16810722/georgia-tech-recruiting-georgia-tech-flips-an-signs-4-star-qb That is just about the most impressive...

1. Both Yates and, especially, Graham would have been great players in the offense they were recruited to run. In the unorganized smash-up the TFG and company put on the field … well, not so much. Players can be great when they fit what you're doing. Otherwise they have trouble; especially if...

He has a good deal of playing experience. He's fast. He weighs 247. That's 247. If you have any further questions, look at his roster bio from last year. Mind, I don't know if he would have started at Tech if he had stayed. Oth, he would have played a good deal, either starting or not. With...

I checked. He's on the roster at LB, all 6'3" and 247 pounds of him. Doesn't say if he's going to start there, but I bet he would at Tech.

You misunderstood me. I meant running "college" teams as minor league teams for NFL franchises. I think that would be workable, provided that fans would actually show up to see the games. But, hey, I'd like $100M and my own island resort too.

As long as the taxpayers don't have to pay for it, I'm ok with this. My beau ideal here would be that pro teams would fund sports (well, some of them) at the "professionalizing" schools and I wouldn't be taxed - as I am today - to put what are already quasi-pro teams on the field. Everyone who...

This would be a lot less of a question if TFG (and collaborators) hadn't chased off Knight. He would be starting and, with his athletic abilities, he should have been a good replacement for Thomas. But … maybe he still wanted a shot at QB. If Paul had stayed, who knows?

Provided, that is, that they don't decide to move him to TE. He's big enough and he can catch.

Yes, US football is actually pretty popular over there from what I read. The high schools don't have teams (in any sport), but a lot of small towns and cities do. Most of it is amateur. And guess what the Germans appear to particularly like about the sport. That would be the marching bands. As...

I liked this, even though I'm not sure you're right. I also see that we have talent on the squad, more on D then O perhaps. The main problem qacross the board is experience. We have yet to become the old team we need to be. I hope we are moving in the direction of being like Wake in retaining...
