No, per Belichik, the practices at a place like Bammer, where they face the best against the best over and over is what makes the real difference, and that is why he gave sa(t)an the documents with his signature to assist him with recruiting. Of course, Belichik is not the only NFL person...

This has been, for years, one of sa(t)an’s biggest recruiting advantages. He has letters from Belichik & other NFL dignitaries testifying to this. One of the reasons he is frustrated by NIL is that it can be a factor that overcomes that advantage with some kids.

If true, then what has been already communicated, GT will not compete in this landscape, unless someone changes their priorities. Of course, that is obvious, but j/s.

Agree to disagree. We will get "some diamonds in the rough" for sure, as we have done off and on for years (see Shaq Mason). But, the recruiting agencies/teams don't miss on as many players these days, so the number out there to get may be reduced going forward. It has definitely been reduced...

This - I wonder if Todd was so insulated from "regular" fans last season that he thought for some reason this would not be as bad as it will be? Just amazed still that if he had the option of moving on, he chose not to? Having a "super" recruiter is not going to be as important anymore as...

It's baseball, so anything can happen, but they are 53-7 and 25-5 in the SEC. They have a dominant pitching staff. Oh well.

The Brewers can catch lighting in a bottle once every decade or 2, but we will not. I think using a baseball analogy, we are closer to the Rome Braves. Again, I would rather compete with teams in a lesser division than try to do this ridiculous exercise.

We needed to win a few games in the ACC tourney, so we weren't put in a death regional.

Only STEM school in America, outside of the military academies, that tries to compete in division 1 football. It's only getting harder and harder.

Based on the GTSwarm unofficial poll (people who stated they did not renew), Todd S. has to be having some remorse about the CGC decision. It may only be 15% or so doing it, but that is still painful when you have such a small season tik fanbase to begin with.

Ultimately, an AD at a P5 school will be judged by how the $$ sports are doing. That is football and men's basketball. Yes, we got hot with some experienced players and won an ACC tourney title, but other than that, the men's program is not getting it done. The football program is a...

I just wish it would hurry up and happen. If we can compete in a grouping that makes sense for GT, I think that is the ONLY way we will grow our fanbase and attendance ever again, if we ever will.

Don’t like some of the language, but glad some people are seeing it. FYI, herbstreit retweeted this.

To the original question in the title of this thread: NO, in a big way, NO

In bold is BEYOND sad. With the NIL and the guys moving around with leverage, not sure this won't get even worse. Young guys need accountability and life skills, and they are not getting those, many times.

The whole thing is really depressing - I think Swarbrick's idea about schools splitting off that want to have programs not directly associated with the university's academics (in name only) is probably a good idea. It is already happening to some extent, for some portion of the athletes, anyway...

So, he stays with 5 wins? I realize that is "improvement", but I thought those in the "know" believed he had to get to 6? Oh well, I think it is probably a moot point anyway.

No way to spin it - a miracle is needed to win 6 games. Some significant luck will be required to win 5. I still think 4 is as high as it goes, and even that will require some inspired play. It is not impossible for a sinking ship to survive, but it is rare.

If anyone has time to make picks, especially of the shirts/sweatshirts, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind ordering from the bookstore, but many times these items are not even viewable on their website. For example, I have a hat I purchased in 2019 when I travelled through ATL that...
