    Agreed...it's nice to see that uplifting and compelling journalism isn't entirely extinct.

    4th of July menu and plans?

    I am going with the traditional...smoked pork shoulder sammiches, slaw, beans, tomatoes and cottage cheese, watermelon and homemade ice cream. The day will kickoff with an early 18 holes and post round gin & tonics with the crew. The grandkids and fam will meet me at the course for a few hours...

    Tech's Likelihood of Winning

    I don't have the same passion for the game as I did in my younger days (and I suspect that is true for most of us in our "autumn" or "winter" years) but I have always said that when the day comes that I am not optimistic going into summer/preseason camp, that will be the day that I finally step...

    Bill Curry and his move to Bama

    I know the pain of the TFG is still fresh and raw, but Lewis wrecked a program shortly removed from a NC and set us back a decade. IMO, that's a greater sin than what Collins did. I think, due to recency bias, we tend to blur out what our program had been in the 3-4 years prior to his arrival. I...

    Bill Curry and his move to Bama

    Sooner rather than later, someone is going to be taking over for Saban over there. I don't see that going very well for the guy (except financially of course).

    Bill Curry and his move to Bama

    I have a different take. I always enjoy the stream of consciousness dialogue here. I have never been so busy or behind that the 20-30 seconds it takes to read a handful of "off topic" posts has ever been a threat to either my job or my marriage. ;) I pretty much believe that the "on topic"...

    Miscellaneous, GT Football News

    I agree with you about Harris. I have always thought that the top dozen or so players on Rogers' teams during his tenure were the best talent I have ever seen a coach recruit to Tech. Just so many guys that were clear NFL prospects even with running that dadgum wishbone. Depth, however, was an...

    Golf team starting strong

    I would argue that he just hit a mental wall of some sort. He is All Conference, an All American and a top 10 amateur in the world. Guys with that skillset generally are suited to play on any track. I wonder if Coach HAD to play him (was there another guy "on the bench"?) or just felt like he...

    Golf match play strategy discussion

    Interesting conversation and I appreciate the different perspective. I liked applying pressure against my opponent by being consistent and steady. At my age, I will play tees that range from 6,000 - 6500 yards. I have given up on the 6800 - 7200 yard courses a few years back. Even in my younger...

    By "all of Georgia" do you think the Governor really meant about 8-10% ? ;) :buzz:

    Golf team starting strong

    Again, I am the one less likely to have the bad hole (but also less likely to post a bunch of birdies). I guess I am saying I have less variance than a lot of guys around my mean score. Also, match play can cause me to think about what my opponent is doing, which is something I am much less...

    Golf team starting strong

    It will be on the golf channel, I believe starting at 5 EST. I would double check the time however. I watched our match yesterday. Lot's of drama!! In both matches,,,us vs UNC and UF/FSU.

    Golf team starting strong

    Just wondering if any of you who have participated in competitive golf prefer match vs. stroke play? I lean to stroke play as I am (or more accurately, was) usually the grinding, steady-eddy type of consistent golfer who wasn't going to make a lot of birdies and eagles but wasn't going to make...

    Hall retained. Borrell fired.

    Does this become a "do loop" or 'self fulfilling prophecy? Do quality HS pitchers look at the track record of developing talent (pitchers) and choose to go elsewhere? There are several programs that consisently go to Omaha. That, like our track record, is not the result of luck.

    Conference Realignment

    I have a great aversion to paying for something that I have come to expect to be free. I left another Tech message board on account of this. Although, to be completely honest, I have purchased a bottle of water on more than one occassion. Something my grandpa would have never done. He would've...

    Conference Realignment

    Not true. Who wants to do their own laundry? 😛

    Conference Realignment

    None of this really matters. I know alumns of most of the SEC schools and there is no way in hell that anyone of them would want to leave the SEC. The history and tradition is just too rich. perhaps Vandy might and maybe (?) Ky and Mizzou but the rest of them are content where they are. even the...

    Stetson Bennett

    I don't think the bolded comment is any different in context than the other two comparisons (Constitution, speed limits) unless you view religion as some sort of "hot button" topic. I certainly would not look to be offended but you obviously have the right and the choice to do so. You also have...

    Stetson Bennett

    While your post may be technically correct, I will say it is based on an assumption that the rules matter. Many of us are skeptical about this part. They appear to the casual viewer to be more guidelines or casual suggestions similar to how some politicians interpret the Constitution or some...

    UVA, Baseball

    I don't think replacing Hall is the same thing as replacing Johnson. There was a very shallow pool of people who would even consider the football job at the time for reasons we have already discussed ad nauseum. But I think the baseball program is in a different place for a whole host of...
