My point above has very little to do with Key’s personal salary. It’s about GT paying players so Key can compete on a level playing field. We haven’t had a coach like Key in a long time. Gailey and Johnson were both in their twilight years using GT as their last hurrah. Key is in his prime...

That’s living in dream world. Key is a highly competitive person who loves GT no doubt. But, if the day comes where he is doing all he can yet the money constraints keep him from truly competing with schools like UGA, Clemson, and FSU then that will wear on him. I’m not talking about his...

I’m not sure about all that, but I’m fairly confident our offense could/may be one of the best in the ACC. So, for this game #1 of the 4 major units (FSU O and D, GT O and D), I have more faith in our offense to score enough points to win than I do in FSU’s. I have no clue on how good either...

The thing about defense is this - outside of the elite handful of teams like UGA, Bama, Mich, and a few others, EVERYONE struggles on defense. Yes, ours has been weak and has difficulty stopping anyone. But, 90% of teams are in the exact same position. The rules of the game combined with the...

How will they be more athletic? I agree that several GT teams in the past weren't the most athletic, but this angle is WAY overplayed with teams like FSU and UGA. What can be said is they have athletic guys who are bigger than our athletic guys, but I have a hard time believing they are “more”...

What about what all GT has done for him? People always use those semantics, but the reality is GT has done more for Hall than what Hall has done for GT. GT provided Hall a very nice paycheck and job stability in a profession with very little job security. What has Hall done for GT that 4-5...

I agree. That’s why those who run GT need to use their smarts and figure out how to get money to where it does help. A winning product absolutely increases the GT brand. Anyone who has ever googled “Georgia Tech” knows that 28 of the first 30 articles that pop up are related to athletics. It...

But that was happening anyway under the old system. Sure, transfers weren’t as common but they happened especially if you simply mentioned a sick grandma or said a fan called you a mean name. See: Cam Newton. You think guys like Garrison Hearst or Moreno gave a rats care about school? And...

I wish it was still that way. But I’m done beating my head against the wall for decades. Those days are NEVER returning. So the only question is do we want a closed system where only a few benefit by buying players or an open system where everyone could benefit if they take part. I know GT...

So you prefer a system where the same things happening today were just done under the table (no academics, payola, and transfers). I like today better where it’s done in the open and GT can actually benefit- example: Haynes King. Think about it this way- has anything changed for UGA? They...

I concur. We are in the infancy of this new era of legally paying players and schools are still trying to figure it out. Within 5 years I expect some schools will begin to emerge as powers that no one would expect. SMU is definitely one who showed what they could put together with money in the...

It is quite mind boggling. And some wonder why the ACC has become a non-serious conference.

GT is absolutely better off without the NCAA. As I’ve pointed out for a long time (and now others are finally seeing and pointing out) the NCAA is nothing but a front for the big boy schools who want to run the sport the way they want and to punish those who ask questions. GT‘s history shows...

Sorry, repost

I hear you. But the reason GT has fallen behind is because of GT. We could have offered Herschel two cars. We could have given Cam a million in Wendy’s bags. We could have admitted illiterates who would have bolstered our lines. We could have done a number of things that everyone else was...

Of course asking old guys about the old days is gonna get the answer you got. But you know darn well if these same guys were 18 today they’d be taking whatever NIL they could get. And our starting QB who has led us back to respectability transferred for playing time and all I heard were cheers...

Heck yes today is better. At least now we know the going rate to buy a player and the champion actually earns it on the field. In other words - today everything is above board. You may not like it but at least everything is out in the open. Compare that to the old days where sports writers...

I hear you. I just don’t understand why your slippery slope just started. It started for me when illiterates like Bo Jackson, Marcus Dupree, and Herschel were allowed to play when they were clearly not student athletes. Schools have been admitting morons and paying them for decades yet now...

So you didn’t cheer for Jhamyr Gibbs? You didn’t enjoy what he brought to our team and stopped being a fan because we brought in a pro ringer who got a better contract from Bama? You won’t root for Singleton who had multiple offers to leave but we ponied up enough to keep him. Some of you...
