    New Hires........so far.

    Or four + UGA would work too.

    Favorite Holiday Drinks

    Having over-paid for a Weller SR I agree with avoiding BT products. I'll have to try the Knob Creek. For some reason I've avoided it due to the bottle/label...silly I guess, but that's marketing. I have a bottle of 1910 showing up this week...I've seen quite the differing opinions between 1910...

    Disney and YouTubeTV in a spat

    That's usually what happens. It why I stick with my provider a bit...and who cares if you miss an episode of Housewives or two? I really don't like the strangle-hold that eSECpn has over our sports content and sports in general.

    Predicting Future Success

    Right. They give an initial guess at star ratings, then adjust them based on the offers so that they can look smarter and dupe people into paying for their 'predictions.' They are no different than palm readers and fortune tellers. If you ask the people who regularly pay for those services...

    Predicting Future Success

    I'm with whoever posted the Linus Football Meme. Here I go again... I really want CGC to work out. Another transition isn't any more likely to be successful and probably will result in another two to three years of mediocrity. Finding a super-star coach is unlikely, and retaining them is even...

    12/15 Early Signing Day: GT

    I'd say that NIU would beg to differ on the 'it takes 5 - 7 years for an O-line to develop' mantra. Look at their roster...mostly underclassman: 60 Evan Buss OL 6-6 315 Fr Kimberly, WI 72 Brendan Carr OL 6-7 293 Fr Hanna, IN 76 John Champe OL 6-4 321 Fr Brookfield, WI 70 Marques Cox...

    12/15 Early Signing Day: GT

    Maybe Key meant it was easier to recruit at Tech since there are more direct flights out of ATL than Tuscaloosa? That'd be true for sure.

    Disney and YouTubeTV in a spat

    You'd likely be better off, truth be told. :) I hate to see YTTV losing subs, as it only strengthens the bargaining power of the content conglomerates. And I've dealt with the bunch at Disney on the business side. To say I wasn't impressed with their leadership would be an understatement. I...

    🔥🔥🔥 Good Take on our Current Challenges

    You know. You're right. We've had a largest transition in the modern era...and I'm not talking about schemes. We went from a 'here's a middle-finger for you, Media' coach to a 'I've had lens replacement surgery and they used rose-colored implants' coach. It's a bit of whip-lash as fans. And it...

    Favorite Holiday Drinks

    Exactly my thought! I made a Brandy Alexander last night, which is also a cream-based drink. I need to buy better (less sweet) chocolate liquor as it was a bit too rich for me. But other than my cheapness in buying the store-brand Cream-de-cacao it was pretty tasty as well: Boozy Brandy...

    Disney and YouTubeTV in a spat

    Hmmm. I'm not inclined to put the blame for this on YouTube TV. Disney has all the leverage here, as they have highly desired content that can be found elsewhere and are leveraging things like ESPN (CFB during bowl season) to force YTTV to force-include all their crappy content. It's the...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    I believe what people are expressing is a belief that this will alter the game as we know it. The fact that the 'game as we know it' is not the game it was five years ago nor twenty-five years ago is fairly irrelevant to the expressed concern. They are correct in saying that this will alter the...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    I'll pitch into the NIL deal we set up here for exclusive "AMA" sessions here on GTSwarm. Maybe we find a good O-lineman to let us 'interview' him :)

    Favorite Holiday Drinks

    I was asked for the recipe for the Gingersnap Old Fashioned I mentioned in another thread, so I thought I'd start a Favorite Holiday Drinks thread to capture what people love to sip on this time of year. This one is pretty darn easy, but you do need to make a simple syrup. The good news is a...

    Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    So can someone help me interpret Perry's departure? The comment about going with Patenude makes sense, but I'd guess the Elite 11 QB made Perry decide to go where the competition is less? As we saw for the past two years, Sims isn't exactly what I'd call durable. Someone is going to get some...

    Voluntary Snark Moratorium

    Done. I've disconnected the snark module. Only problem is that I find that sometimes when I have a nice holiday Gingersnap Old Fashioned that darn module just plugs back in all by itself. I'll have to watch out for that...

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Question for Admins/Moderators (serious question): Is it possible to "Ignore" a whole thread. I'm fine with people who want to wallow in their frustration in this thread, but I really wish I didn't see it at the top of the list every time I come on the board. Is there a way other than to...

    Oh wait! You forgot to include the smart-*** know-it-alls who think they are better than the rest of us. ;)

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    Sooooo, I was wondering something. Maybe you five can let me know why this is a stupid idea. Okay... Georgia Tech Alums are very proud of their degree. Wouldn't we want to advertise how great a GT education is and how you should hire a GT alum? And maybe the GT Alumni Association wants to do...
