Regress or progress?

Good article, and addresses an issue that seems to be lost in all the furor about which schools the ACC will add, which ones will leave, etc. If we become a conference that covers 4 time zones, and if I’m a talented high school baseball or volleyball player — for example — for whom a college...

Then add Kansas and UConn and you have an even 20.

Serious question from a non-recruiting-expert: How does GT in the B1G give the other teams in that conference access to recruiting in the ATL? Can’t they recruit there anyway? Or is it because they’d be playing games at Tech, and would therefore be in the local press (to the extent that the...

I had the same question, but then I haven’t taken the time to look and see who else other than his assistant coaches are on his staff.

Both of mine were as a kid at Tech games with my Dad: Billy Williamson’s 93-yd kickoff return to beat Tennessee in 1960, and Tech upsetting Alabama, Joe Namath, and the Bear 7-6 in 1962. Those games made me a GT fan for life.

That was one of the first Tech games I attended, as my Dad somehow was able to buy two tickets in the south end zone. I was 11 years old, and we were surrounded by Bama fans. When they finally scored, it was at the north goal line to make the score 7-6, and they went for the 2-pt conversion...

I also can’t imagine it will mean the death of NIL. Using the numbers in that article for CA, why would a player sign for a 25k salary if he’s getting $500k from a booster/collective? I fear that horse is already out of the barn.

I saw that, too. He’s 4 down now through 7 😩

I might have, too, but I would have been a bit worried about catching the “Mountaineer spirit.”

“narrow” may be just a tad generous.

Why did he keep using that word? I don’t think it means what he thinks it means. (Inigo Montoya, loosely paraphrased)

Completely agree. Recruit + coach + win. Public speaking skills are way down the list as far as I’m concerned.

Love to see Duke lose, except when it’s against an SEC team

Yes, but wasn't that the team that couldn't seem to inbound the ball with any consistency?

I'm busted twice already. Had both UVA and WVA.

I lived in England for three years and drove a stick shift. I admit it took some getting used to. When my wife and I went to Ireland last summer, I said the hell with this, I’m too old now, and rented an automatic.

Tired legs and a sugar crash. How bad can that be?

I think those are legit posts. 50%-ish at the FT line will lose more games for you than it will win. Pastner himself said we did not shoot free throws well.

Yes, I was kidding (kinda sorta). But I do think someone can be successful at a job he’s not done before.
