  1. Conference Realignment

    Because the ”victimhood” didn’t happen in a vacuum. The ACC is reaping the lack of leadership for the past 20 years. This is what happens when you don’t actually lead an organization. The ACC is K-Mart and Blockbuster. Not because of the products in the conference but because of the...
  2. Conference Realignment

    Well, that’s like saying the engineer on the Titantic is working behind the scenes so keep the band playing. We just had 2 SEC and 2 BIG schools in the 4 team playoff, but us ACC fans arent concerned because Jim is working behind the scenes. Yeah, he’s working on his parachute back to the BIG...
  3. Conference Realignment

    Jim Phillips is the guy ensuring his next job will be in the BIG.
  4. Conference Realignment

    Yep. This stuff doesn’t happen by accident. It’s all designed by people who plan. As an engineering group it amazes me so many posters don’t see it. FSU was out regardless of the injury - they would have used weak conference to keep them out. It’s the same reason we won’t see ACC teams...
  5. Conference Realignment

    Talk of “diminished value”. That’s the new motto of the ACC. The SEC says “It just means more” and the ACC says “call the lawyers against your own member”. All ACC schools should sue the leadership who took us to such heights of having your undefeated champ sitting at home and getting a...
  6. Radford U - Opening Weekend

    The difference so far from the pitching staff is we threw freaking STRIKES! You can’t defend a walk and the past few seasons we couldn’t throw strikes. Ballard is what every pitcher should be - a strike thrower. If they hit a bomb so what. I’ll take a bomb every once in awhile rather than a...
  7. Jackets MBB host Syracuse, 2/17/2024

    In my opinion that was my favorite game we played so far. Sure, it wasn’t Duke or UNC but we fought and played as a team. Everyone gave us something which was fun. My favorite play of the game was in the mid 2nd half when Cuse was in their zone D and Gafare set a pick at he top of the 3 and...
  8. Conference Realignment

    I understand all that. But isn’t a league commissioners office suppose to treat everyone fairly? Did GT have access to everyone’s bye week list? I highly doubt it. So the commissioners office gets the requests and see that 6 teams request a bye before GT and they do nothing about it? That’s...
  9. Conference Realignment

    You are darn right I do and so should every Georgia Tech fan and alum. Yes, the ACC gave us a lifeline when we needed it 45 years ago. To that, I say thanks to all the dead guys that made that happen. But since, they have done nothing for my school. In fact, at every turn where we had...
  10. Conference Realignment

    The ACC and other conferences will absolutely vote with the SEC/BIG to change the format on who gets into the playoffs. Why? Because they always do and the guys in charge all want future jobs in big boy football. You think Jim Phillips will vote against his daddy, the BIG? You think a guy...
  11. Jackets Travel to Louisville, 2/10/2024, MBB

    Stoudamire is not the problem. We are lucky he even gave us an interview to be honest. Dude is a highly valued assistant from the NBA who would be hired tomorrow if we were stupid enough to fire him and get a retread. The problem is clearly lack of talented players. GT has been off the...
  12. Jackets Travel to Louisville, 2/10/2024, MBB

    We have 3 legit D1 players on the team. And it shows. Stoudamire wasn’t hired for X’s or O‘s or to develop players. He was hired to bring in ready made D1 players. I think he can do it.
  13. Thoughts on Conference Championship Semi-Finals

    So, you are essentially telling 1 fanbase (either FSU or GT) that their season is over before we even get to September. That is exactly what has been wrong with this sport for 100 years. No other sport operates that way because the goal is to find a champion over an entire season so teams can...
  14. Thoughts on Conference Championship Semi-Finals

    It ain’t that hard. Right now, you lose a game or two and the rest of the season is meaningless. In what other sport does a loss or two end a season? Heck, our conference is so mismanaged right now that FSU didn’t lose a game and their entire 2023 season was meaningless. An expanded playoff...
  15. Evaluating Georgia Tech's 2024 Opponents and What They Did in the Transfer Portal

    I get that articles are created to get paychecks but come on. Blah, blah, blah. College football comes down to who has the better QB, offensive line, and who doesn’t turn it over. Most defenses in today’s game suck because the better athletes all play offense. The one team who will have a...
  16. Thoughts on Conference Championship Semi-Finals

    What will be great for the fans is the next round of expansion to 24. That would give more SEC/BIG fanbases hope and would make the regular season more meaningful as you wouldn’t be eliminated after a September loss or even an October loss. Imagine that -you could actually get better a s a...
  17. Conference Realignment

    Realistically, we’ve already been in purgatory for years. Our undefeated conference champ didn’t get an invite. We’ll get 4 whopping bids to March Madness. Can’t wait until the regionals and super regionals get announced while Phillips hides in his office (or under Sankey’s desk).
  18. Conference Realignment

    Problem is those in power today in the ACC will ensure they get jobs so there is no need for them to act. You think Phillips won’t get a job back in the BIG? You dont think every AD, including JBatt, won’t get jobs in the P2. The only ones who will be left are the fans because the future ACC...
  19. Conference Realignment

    Yeah, folks haven’t thought about the current schools that could be booted from the P2. There are a lot of ways this could go. If I’m a Mich St, Vandy, Missouri, Miss St, Ole Miss types I’d be just as concerned as the GT’s. No one is safe and as we get to a more NFL type model you’ll see...
  20. Conference Realignment

    This is a great post. However, the ACC has NEVER been proactive about anything except ensuring the right officials are scheduled for UNC and Coach K games. If the ACC would have had any proactive ideas in the past 30 years we wouldn’t be a relegated conference today. Then ACC leaders won’t do...
