In the 1969-70 season, Rich averaged 56% from the field and dunking was not allowed. Deadly from 18 ft in and averaged 12 rebounds and 30 points per game, against strongest strength of schedule in our 3 years varsity. All American academically and athletically, and drafted 38th in the NBA by...

Yes, that was it. Lots of us high scoring guards were humbled but we won , and all graduated!!!

Another pro-style new coach is trying this style offense at Georgia Southern now and they are 0-11. I hope it works out for us.

I barely made it through statistics at Tech, but I do know that in the 1969 through the 1971seasons , without three pointers nor a 30 second clock, we shot over 50% from the field and averaged over 80 points per game, with a 40-19 record and two post season tournaments. I am not a big fan of...

MtnWasp makes a good point on how any player should react when catching the ball. Back in the day...Dean Smith was one of the originators of what was then called the passing game, now the motion offense, used by many colleges and pro teams. It is best simply described here at...

No matter what else happens, the Sanders family are doing financially well at Colorado. Dad Deion got a 5 year contract for $29.5 million ($5 Mil a year), son Shedeur got $4 million in NIL money (2nd in NCAA to Labron James's son $5.9 mil) and son Shilo got $893 thousand (30th in the NCAA)...

Can someone give me a quick synopsis of where the NIL donations go and how it is distributed to the athletes and how they get paid? I just don't know how that works and have not seen anything on how it works at Tech. I read it is the wild wild west around the country. As a former Tech...

I firmly believe Coach Stoudamire definitely has a plan to win and is searching for the right combinations to win, I say again, to win. He will further develop each player, particularly the guards, to win. He knows how to win, playing for 23 years in over a thousand games and winning with over...

As it was reported in the ATL Journal as it happened. Front page and two sports pages story, 3 clippings.

Glad all this has been hashed out and we can keep the statues in front of "Hyundai" field. Hard to let that "formerly grant Field" word roll off my fingertips.

The record books say that in the initial 30 years of the ACC, Tech got 5 SEC Championship trophies, Alabama got 5, UGA got 4, and Old Miss beat all with 6. We were in the middle of the SEC pack the ten years before leaving and were in the top tier of independents, which included Notre Dame...

Measures of respect exist in the college athletics world for Georgia Tech and her coaches and administrators, both awards representing scholarship, leadership, and integrity. That is the Tech culture I remember and despite all the clutter, it still exists today There is the annual Dodd Trophy...

nor VMI with it's 1600 student body population.

I cannot read Coach Stoudamire's mind,only his background, and I am not paid anymore to think, but. Coach's background in winning at high levels comes not only in his 2 Oregon state championships in High school, but from his college Coach Lute Olson at Arizona. Coach Olson was the ultimate...

Thoughts of the day when the decision was made to withdraw from the SEC. I became a basketball scholarship athlete at Tech with a"full ride", which then meant at Georgia Tech a full scholarship until I graduated within 5 years (4 years of eligibility plus a redshirt year if the coach wanted...

And playing to a depth of 12 players was promising in figuring out different floor fives for different situations., the 12th being last year's student walk-on sophomore forward redshirt #35 Emmer Nichols. William Emmer Nichols is the namesake great grandson of the Georgia Tech great tennis...

And there is less GT stuff in the goodwill stores.

The stats from my last post, that disappeared:

Definitely up for a challenge against this new Big 12 conference opponent coming out of the AAC/Big East. If we play better than our past games and they play worse than theirs, we have a chance. If you believe in analytics and artificial intelligence in predicting outcomes, I look at the NET...
