    I'd love to be a bazillionaire to throw some NIL money at players to get them to come to The Flats. Well, there's lots of reason's I'd love to be a bazillionaire, but that's one of them! ;)

    Good News Thread

    I'm no expert on the recruiting front, but based on what I've seen on this board, it sounds like Signing Day was Very Good News!

    Thanks TO, for all you've given to GT! I hate to see you go but you've done everything that's been asked of you, contributed mightily and have earned your shot at the League.

    Thanks all! Yes, the women are definitely the real bright spot. MBB is looking like it will not fall too far off of the super-high of last year as well. And I really which I found golf interesting. I just can't find my way there! :sleep: "A good walk ruined."

    Good News Thread

    You know, things are kinda sucky. BeBe. Decommits. Fan-on-Fan vitriol and so much negativity. I could really use some good news about GT. Maybe we could dedicate a thread to just the good news, maybe with links to threads where it's discussed more? Anyone got any?

    RIP Demaryius Thomas

    Thank you, BeBe, for being a man I was very proud to be associated with even if very remotely. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

    Yep, sorry. I should have split my comments into two messages.

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

    Can they do NIL's for alcoholic beverages or is that verboten? Not that we could afford more than goods-in-kind, mind you...but he'd be the most popular guy on campus! (just kidding, of course.)

    If you want to pretend that the two have been different in practice, I suppose. Regardless, I don't think it is a shot when someone says that it's unlikely Sims could walk into many P5 programs and 'be given the keys.' I'm guessing, just like everyone else, he'd have to win the spot over the...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    I couldn't agree more. Everyone who is encouraging us to do what the cool kids are doing are asking for us to be perpetually mediocre with occasional periods of awful. Our ceiling if we try to beat the factories at their game is low, as we have no long-term sustainable advantage. We've got to...

    GT hires Chip Long as new OC/QBs Coach

    Must just be me. You be you, but I hardly think the instate rivalry game as 'meaningless'. Whatever.

    So one assistant position still available….

    Yeah, I'm sure too. I was just dreaming. I guess we can say "You are the Head Coach. We just hired a Chief Executive Coach who you report to is all." :)

    GT hires Chip Long as new OC/QBs Coach

    I have to say I do think less of him if he gave up on his teammates. Not the guy I want in the foxhole with me, to be honest.

    Pitt OC is gone

    So little ever seemingly does. That's okay. It's time we starting making our own damn luck.

    GT hires Chip Long as new OC/QBs Coach

    He didn't play much at all the rest of the game. Did he get hurt in that game or did he say "I'm out and don't want to play for GT anymore. Don't put me in?" If it's the latter, then I'm really okay with him looking for better opportunities elsewhere. In my book you never give up on your team.

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    He did have a history of doing that at Oregon State, iirc. Like, he added a beer garden to the stadium. But none of that here for some reason. Dunno why.

    So one assistant position still available….

    Maybe we demote CGC to DC and hire a new head coach if next year isn't better. Since we are still paying him to coach then he'd have to quit if he didn't want to do that (and it frees us up from the contract if he quits...) It basically means we get a DC for free since we'd have to pay CGC...

    I guess at some point most everyone will have taken a ride on the Portal Carousel and be 'stuck' with their new commitments. Maybe this will slow down a bit then...until then it's way worse than professional where they at least have to honor their initial contracts.

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    Probably because of the same reason that all I can offer GT is $150 :)
