I love sports. I too struggle to break 80 but have no qualms telling a guy who is in contention at any tournament from the NCAA championship up to the Open and Masters what club to hit. I recently played golf with a former student who was on FSU's golf team a few years back. He was scratch and...

I understood the announcer to say they both elected not to hit driver. Perhaps I misunderstood.

There were two guys who had a chance to tie coming up 18, a par 5. Both of them chose to hit 3 wood (or equivalent) off the tee. Given the green and pin location, it was hard to hit a wedge tight enough to make birdie although both guys (one from Uva, one from Vandy) had reasonable (not easy)...

Not really for me. If I was drunk at 7:3O AM, many times it was a continuation of the previous evening's festivities. So, technically 12:01 AM as probably the earliest that I was ever drunk. The latest in the day I have ever been drunk is 11:59 PM. I'm never sure if 12 AM constitutes the last of...

You have an optimism about things under the new system that I can't quite muster. Maybe it's bc I am aware of history. There have been so many changes in the past that we all rationalized were going to help Tech. Leaving the SEC. integration. Scholarship limits. Academic requirements. Joining...

I agree. Reflecting back upon things I was constantly adapting and evolving. Hustling/ Grinding/etc. Then one day you wake up and realize you don't have to do it any longer. At least at a job that takes the greater % of your waking hours. Then you pass the baton on to the young Turks who need to...

I teach HS economics. Both regular and AP. I tell them all the time that if you understand compounding interest, start saving and investing early and avoid dying too young it’s almost impossible not to end up a millionaire at some point. I also tell them the word doesn’t have the same cachet as...

You are probably right. However, I choose to worry and fret only two times a year - during the season and during the offseason. Thus making the game not just a fall event but one I can suffer with and enjoy year round. Why wait until fall to start stressing? Let's live in the moment here.

Or, at least, we used to separate them. ;)

I hate that he passed before completing his post trial objective.

That is exactly how I learned to number the cards!! .Fool me once, shame on you...etc. Sadly, most of my personal learnings to date on this ball of dirt have come the hard way. ;)

I did not read that book. My initial thought upon reading was "did anyone else but me ever drop and scatter their card deck and spend almost as much time rerunning them to restore them to proper order as it would have taken them to just throw them away and start from scratch?".

Was the rate of change that great or did you take as long to get out as I did?? ;)

I'm pretty surethey were as well when I was there (late 70's thru 81). Sightings were rare however outside of the Claremont Lounge, the Limelight club and occasionally Piedmont Park. I don't know what has changed but the population seems to have exploded to the point where a sighting or even...

Serious question. Is NIL now a part of college baseball (or ANY non-revenue sport)??? That makes zero sense to me. Seems like a major waste of $$$ (no ROI in his case). Note: I AM assuming that baseball at GT (and elsewhere) has more expenses than revenue. Is this assumption incorrect?

I had a somewhat related random thought...over the years I have seen some of my formerly married friends and coworkers enter into the adult relationship equivalent of the transfer portal. Just like in football, not all of them ended up in better place. In fact, most (in my experience) didn't.

That depends on one's perspective. Over the years there have been a number of schools that have decided to go in a different direction than their peers....Chicago, Suwanee, the Ivies to name some. These schools still exist and most are still playing FB. As it has been said, things change. I am...

You have made a logical inference I suppose but just bc I did not mention the salaries of coaches in my post doesn't mean what you have inferred.

I have to say that your are most probably correct if I were being honest as well. However I have no issues with those who continue to support the team and program under the new landscape. Different strokes for different folks as they say.

This post speaks to the dilemma (imo) of managing the GTAA. I think the fans of the superpowers don't bat an eye about one of theirs making $1MM. But if I knew we had a player on the roster making $1MM it would be the end of my support for GT FB (or BB or whatever). I have to believe (perhaps...
