Seeing the buzzin3 picture of the northeast corner of the former Grant Field (now Hyundai Field) brought back memories of the history of that northeast corner, which was part of the original eight acres provided as the original land for the Georgia School of Technology in 1885. A railroad man...

Coach Driscoll has been coaching in a lots of good basketball programs over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Driscoll_(basketball) and living a good life in Jacksonville at age 59 after almost 30 years of coaching.

What I saw in that stretch was much individual play by the offense against a determined UWG experienced defense. I think each player thought the coach was evaluating them and each had to prove themselves individually. As well, those players had played much in the game and conditioning may have...

No, Tech will not profit financially from the game unless maybe sold-out. Tech schedules West Georgia for the "easy" win, just like most of the games before the new year. West Georgia Schedules Tech for the money. Since this is a D1 game, Tech will try to win by the widest margin to get a...

Certainly show respect for West Georgia. Their first year in D1. Our twice All American basketball player, Roger Kaiser 1957-61 and Olympic tryout selected, pro basketball player, Tech HOF, Atlanta HOF, Georgia HOF, and American Small College coach HOF, was AD at West Georgia for many years...

This brings to mind, GT basketball not "like father , like son". For example, D1 level sons of Mark Price, Dennis Scott, James Forrest, and now Stephon Marbury, to name a few.

Gern geschehen, Sringer. Guess I missed the meaning. All I saw was German tanks. Please fill me in.

Does anybody know anybody that can tell anybody about the problems with tickets? I know from the wife of a former athletic director that she is having issues getting basketball tickets.

This is a looped photo of German Army Leopard II main battle tanks, likely a tank company going by rail in Germany to a tank training area. The US did deploy in 2010 13 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks to the Kandahar and Helmand provinces in southwest Afghanistan, operated by a Marine tank...

In the GTAA basketball marketing effort to promote ticket sales, I would not have referred to the 1980-81 season for any reason. Yes, the 1980-81 team had their first sever home games at home, winning 3 and losing 4. They went 4-23 for the season, losing all the D1 games. The 4 wins were...

So sad to hear of the passing of Jaedan's father. I don't know that Jaedan knows that his father scored 24 points and 11 rebounds for Maryland at the Thriller Dome in Feb 1990, with Tech's Dennis Scott getting 36 points. Maryland lost 80-78 to our Final Four team. R.I.P Jerrod. Our Final...

When did your grandpa play for Coach Smith?

RonJon, this must be a bigger one. I went back in Swarm and read Mike Daniels departure mystery which consumed 5 pages of comments. We are already on page 6 and it only a day old.Speculation will run rampant for the next few days, since we are in a bye week in football and basketball will not...

Something needs to published, even if the departure is for personal reasons or whatever. The impression is that it is for performance issues. Something similar happened last Christmas break when an assistant basketball coach was "departed" without reasons given by the head coach. I assume the...

ESPN writes today: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42072640/georgia-tech-names-tim-salem-coach-special-teams. Somebody in the administration needs to go public with the reason for the departure, or it will be believed that what ESPN stated is a fact. Silence leads to...

My cable went out after the first quarter. I am getting a good review from Swarm. Sounds not pretty.

Tommy Hyder was a great basketball teammate, friend, and even a distant cousin. His last email to me was August 21, where he said he was coming to Atlanta for the Notre Dame game. He passed away suddenly during a morning workout at his gym the week before the Notre Dame game. His email...
