I am surprised he got 19 yes votes.

No it did not. Georgia as a whole was not a great state for football talent which is why UGA struggled some in those years. Dodd was adept at getting players, really good players mind you, out of Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and even Mississippi. No need for that now. We have plenty of...

Only one recruiting class since 2002 have we been better than 39th? Seems about right and that was the class of 2007. Actually makes our success under Coaches Johnson and Gailey an outlier of sorts. Georgia Tech probably gets about as much out of its limited talent as any program in the...

Chan should be close to our floor given the talent that abounds in metro Atlanta.

A negative mindset does indeed have an influence, however subtle it may be, on the public and recruit perception of a football program. What also has an influence are losing seasons. One or two should not matter as long as the perception remains that the program is improving through...

Our biggest advantage over UVA, Virginia Tech, Duke, and UNC is our location. The emphasis on the 404 is valid given the tremendous number of quality recruits within 50 miles of the campus. Unfortunately, 5 stars and many 4 stars who are only interested in showcasing their talent for the NFL...

That is probably true but the idea was to pick who improved from what they were. For some of them, that is a pretty low bar and you are probably right it is doubtful that any of them will be a "sure fire pro". A few might get looks as free agents and what not.

Not even one? I think the idea was to pick players who may have improved from what they were previously. I will admit that on a team that won only 3 games it is tempting to say no one but I did not see it that way especially compared to what they looked like at the beginning of the year.

Even on a team that has won only three games there are always players that improve...some others not so much. Some of the offensive linemen had to have improved judged by how they were doing at the end of the season compared with the beginning but I am not informed enough on line play to...

Anything can happen. We could win 6 or 7 next year even with a more challenging schedule and 3 reasonably certain losses with UGA, Clemson, and Notre Dame and it would not surprise me in the least. When was the last time you saw a really good, solid, Coastal Division champion? On the...

Not being patronizing at all. I apologize if you were offended. I was just pointing out that winning cures a lot of ills even the self inflicted ones from the Hill. If we have two more seasons like this past one, it will be a moot point in any case. I pray it does not come to that.

I am very pleased that your daughter is going to go to the games. You do understand that the 404, the culture change, the ATL, and everything else will disappear in a heartbeat if we do not start winning ball games. The hype and gimmicks can take you only so far until the rubber hits the...

Good question. I don't really know but I would suspect its a whole lot easier to push the "404 Culture" than anything having to do with Philadelphia. I would not put it past Coach Collins to have planned it all along. He is from the Atlanta area, he coached here before, he is invested in this...

"Time will tell..." Coach Collins has done a masterful job of first holding together the 2019 class, changing the perception of Georgia Tech by recruits though the 404 hype and such, and he has brought recruiting for this class to the cusp of a historic ranking only matched by the 2007 group...

I suspect you are right we are done for this class with offensive linemen. I don't worry too much about stars with offensive linemen. The bust rate for highly rated offensive linemen is probably greater than for any other position. It is more important that Coach Key gets what HE wants. He...

"...when he claimed recruiting at Tech was easier than BAMA." Did he really say that? Do you think he meant it, or was he just yanking someone's chain? I find it hard to believe he was serious, but maybe he was. Perhaps, he was surprised by something in recruiting when he first got...

For the foreseeable future I would like to beat Duke, UNC, UVA, Virginia Tech and Miami then we move on to UGA and Clemson. First things, first. It will take major upgrades on both lines to be competitive with Clemson and UGA. That will take a while and involve much more effort in...

"...next bowl game..." May be a while before that theory is put to the test.

Coach Collins was hired to change the culture and massively upgrade the talent. He has done both to a certain extent. However, recruiting four star running backs, wide receivers, and defensive backs is not going to be a game changer. Recruiting offensive linemen, particularly tackles, and...

FSU fires Willie T and gets stuck with a multi million dollar buyout. That was after paying Oregon and South Florida for their shares in his buyouts. He will be paid for years to do nothing. Is this a great country or what? Tech cannot afford such largesse and we will have to hope that...
