    GT Football 2023 Roster News

    No need to feel bad about this sort or thing. This is the way things will be going forward. Every man for himself, dog eat dog, if you are not making a meaningful contribution will be shown the door. Probably should have been more this way in the past. College football is now strictly...

    2023 ACC News & Discussion

    The problem ESPN has is that they over-committed financially to these football conferences and are not going to be able to deliver the promised level of revenue going forward. Basically, they are a dead man walking. Football and the advertising/subscriber model can not meet the projected...

    RIP GT HoF RB Lenny Snow

    One of the great men to wear the white and gold. I still have the Street and Smith college football edition that featured him on the cover. I was in the 10th grade when he first appeared on the scene for the Yellow Jackets. One of my all-time favorites. RIP Lenny! Go Jackets!

    2023 ACC News & Discussion

    Here is what I think is going to happen. Number one, Disney will unload ESPN. ESPN will be financially insolvent within 12 to 24 months and declare bankruptcy. All of these big money deals with all of the Power 5 conferences will fall under that settlement. Basically, all the conferences...

    ACC AD Meetings - New Revenue Distribution Model?

    ESPN and the NCAA need to step up and offer a financial solution that brings all participants into a position of parity. Why pay the Big Ten so much more than the ACC, or even the SEC? You must socialize the rewards system if you want to retain the spirit of the college football game...

    2023 Impact Players [sic] per Chat GPT

    AI, much like self-driving vehicles, and renewable energy, are all much further down the road than portrayed in our media. I guess they are more interesting than the rest of the bull crap our modern media dishes out.

    Conference Realignment

    I guess basketball really does not move the needle. Too bad or the old ACC would be the revenue King!

    Linebaker Situation

    He (Efford) was at the spring game and dressed out. I am not sure if he got any playing time or not. I know he was featured in an interview video early into spring camp. He has been on special teams some. Not sure what his upside is but so far he is just another name in the mix. Go Jackets

    Linebaker Situation

    Back to the linebacker discussion. Do we have any more candidates in the pipeline? I think the young man from the lower division program we were evaluating went somewhere else. Just curious to know if we have any other prospects for linebacker help. Go Jackets!

    Portal Watch 2022-23

    Wow, how many receivers do we take? Might want a few defensive players.

    Portal Watch 2022-23

    This will become more and more the norm. Guys that do not show progress on the field will be told to move on. With the portal, NIL and recruiting, roster refinement will be an ongoing process that occurs rapidly and it will make it possible to change your fate, for good or bad, a continual...

    Coach Prime to Colorado

    Playing and coaching are two different things. He was a hell of a player but the jury is still out on his ability to Coach. Go Jackets!

    Coach Prime to Colorado

    He's bringing it and doing it his way. He will either be a big success or go down in flames. The problem for Colorado is that if he is a big success, he will move to greener pastures as soon as the offer comes. I personally think he is more of a show horse than a workhorse. Time will tell...

    Linebaker Situation

    I think Charlie Thomas was our best player on defense last year. He played above his natural God-given abilities and led by example. Even with that, he really was only a good player. Ace was similar and played solid for the most part. Other than those two we really did not have a lot to...

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    Collins has replaced Lewis as the one whose name should never be mentioned again.

    Toughness a defining trait in Georgia Tech quarterback derby

    Joe Hamilton was tough. He took some big shots to make a first down when he had to.

    2023 ACC News & Discussion

    My thinking on the current state of college football is as follows: The game is quickly moving to a model where there will be a handful (20 to 30) of successful programs and the rest will be reduced to just scrambling for leftovers which will be very meager. The huge discrepancy in these media...
