Colonel Taylor, thanks for posting this so we could see the memorial service. It was a fitting farewell to one of Georgia Tech's greatest. I thought the eulogies by Wes Durham and Bill Curry were an excellent remembrance of Dr. Rice. Bill's reading of Bobby Cremins' message while he and his...

Swarm members may like the attached. This is a story from Homer's Book, "Lessons for Leaders". It tells the story of how Homer was recruited twice by Bobby Dodd, once as a 17-year-old player and later as Athletic Director. Coach Dodd's first attempt failed due to Homer being called to military...

Colonel Taylor, thank you for your 28 years of service to America. I hope you don't object to my attachment of an article by Matt Winkeljohn which references your service in Vietnam and the Gulf Wars. The Focus of the article concerns your research and organization of the "Salute to Service"...

Good article. Interesting comments about improving fan experience at BDS and other venues. He appears to be the positive guy we need to lead GT to better times.

Reference my post above concerning ESPN's power rankings and strength of schedule, I was surprised and pleased by an article in Athon Sports by Greg McElroy criticizing the ESPN rankings. His point being that it is a paper projection based on returning rosters only. He feels like several ACC...

ESPN has issued their Strength of Schedules and Power Index for 2024 College Football. By their estimate, GT comes in at #9 in Strength of Schedule and #54 Power Index. Doesn't sound like a good combination. The file called Resume is Strength of Schedule. Note that GT is by far the highest...
