It would be interesting to see how things would be different if we'd been NCAAFB-average at red-zone scoring this year. Would we have won the UCF game? Would that mean that tonight's game would still include the Juice Squad? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

And wouldn't it be sweet if we were the ones who shocked the world by slamming the door in their face? It would make my year.

I think if you find your way to the AD Box tonight with a $100k check in your hand you'll be able to pitch your idea to him directly! ;)

JACKETS!

Another stupid speculation/question...it's my specialty :) Could there be a case for two teams to 'swap' conferences. Let's say Rutgers decided it wanted to be part of the ACC. And let's say GT wanted into the Big 10. Is there any scenario where that could be done? Both conferences could...

I missed that point as I skimmed it. Wow. I need to steal that for use in our partnership agreement. "If you attempt to sell your partnership units to a third-party, your units are automatically moved from voting units to non-voting units." I like it.

Oh, I'm 100% sure the state wouldn't help us...I was just dreaming :) Back to reality...

Looks pretty tight. I'm not an attorney, so this is probably a stupid idea...but could a State of Georgia somehow legislate something that requires GT to effectively be released from the GOR without penalty? Or, perhaps, a law passed that institutes a fee and/or tax on revenue generated on State...

Are there any 'outs' in the ACC GOR contract? Any opportunity for a school to claim material breach?

Great points. I was wondering recently about the talent issue at Tech Administration (not just GTAA.) Are the 'inside' salaries limited somehow by the fact that they are state employees?

Seems like the right way to include the score in these models would be to look at the time-weighted difference in the score throughout the game. Looking at the final score can be so deceptive since most coaches would rather be assured a win by 1 than take a chance on losing to win by 14. If the...

When I look at our three losses, they were all three to teams in the 10 - 20 band (and on the upper side of it generally.) When I look at UVa's losses, two were to teams in the lower part of the 10 - 20 range, and the other two were Duke and Louisville, both in the 0 - 10 band. I'm not sure how...

And we think we have a problem with people dropping stuff off the upper east onto Techwood! :) They should just condemn Homepark and build a multisport stadium there with places for Tailgating. It's a long walk, but beats tailgating in a parking deck...

Exactly! There is little worse for the health of an organization than a new leader who comes in and makes a bunch of changes in the first four weeks before they even have a flipping clue the real lay of the land. They usually got fed a bunch of BS from a couple of insiders (who are also quite...

Wow. What a strange vibe from him. Is Elliot always that way? He looks and sounds exhausted and at the end of his rope.

Ah...that's where the Sharp method is better. He uses a moving weighting based on recent games. That must be better predictor because of that time-weighting and since he predicted we'd win...

The Sharp College Football site also has a team projection which I found interesting.

In watching Brett's call, when he answered the question by saying he was "day to day", it was with a bit of a smirk. He'll need to get better at hiding what's going on...unless he already is excellent at hiding it and the smirk was to throw off UVA. I'm thinking we'll see Sims at the helm...

@slugboy I'm struggling a bit with the Beta statistics, particularly some of the supporting factors that go into the overall calculation. And by struggling I mean "I don't grok it". Specifically, the Defensive/Offensive Play Efficiency. The blog he wrote said it was to correct for how effective...

It means that the GT President has taken personal ownership for our athletic performance and is willing to tie his name to success there. That ain't nothing. And it's a far cry from what we've seen the past, oh, 30+ years if my memory serves. As to academic exceptions...who knows? And why does...
