    If you had a wish list for AD JB what would it be?

    I find this fascinating. I have been wondering if all of the private student housing that's been and being built across the interstate was either causing vacancies or allowing the school to grow, but I guess there's enough market for more.

    If you had a wish list for AD JB what would it be?

    The School is already waiving out of state tuition for the GTAA. FY2022 they reported a combined $5.8 million of Institutional Support, including out of state tuition waivers and administrative salaries and support.

    IF Pastner is fired, who would be a good hire to replace him?

    This may be my inherent pessimism, but I still believe that regardless of fixing the NIL and other basketball-related structural issues, the academics at Tech are going to limit the ceiling of recruiting and definitely limit who can be brought in through the portal. It's not that I think that...

    7 GT Football Players Named To ACC All-Academic Team

    I think Gardner and Sheldon Fox must have overlapped by a year or two. I think Fox graduated in 1980 with a 4.0 in EE while playing LB. Pretty sure Gardner tutored my wife through one of her EE classes.

    Game Day - Clemson Edit v1.24

    He has said many times that he coaches by gut feel, and occasionally recognized limitations of that approach in terms of providing consistent minutes or rotations. At this point I doubt he is going to change. I think this year is also a challenge in that his tendency is to play 7-8 deep, but...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    He was very much hired to be a veteran presence and mentor to a young team competing against teams of older players, and I think he played a good bit. I’m also sure he was thinking he might get another shot with an NBA team needing some depth. Game write-up featuring Jack AJC article about his...

    Top 5 GT Basketball Player All Time

    I started to reply with McHenry, because I just remember appreciating what he added to those teams. Looked him up and saw he is still playing in Japan.

    Get Old, Stay Old... What Happened??

    The column was much too snarky for me, but I in general don't like Cunningham's writing. That said, I would love to see some reporting that pins down exactly why Pastner has failed to sustain his Get Old, Stay Old model. If the answer for last year was that he had to wait too long for Jose and...

    MBB Attendance

    I agree, and mentioned that there were nationwide trends. All of the data is here, but I think what you would need to do is identify a basket of representative schools to analyze. All of D-1 seems too large, and conference realignment means just grabbing the ACC number from the reports is...

    MBB Attendance

    Warning: researching and writing this thread depressed me, so feel free to skip. I got curious about attendance when I was looking into the GTAA debt and finances, and have fallen into a rabbit hole. Hopefully I'll get this out of my system by posting this thread. GT MBB attendance is eroding...

    General News about Key and his Staff

    Pretty sure the ACC shares bowl revenue equally, after travel expenses. The incremental sources of revenue would be if ticket sales and contributions increased subsequent to the coach meeting the performance targets. Personally while I think there may be some potential here, in this day and age...

    Battle of ATL

    It feels like for 20 years GT has struggled with short shots, but 5/18 at the rim is oof. Smith seems supremely confident that he can drive against larger players and finish. I am skeptical. I absolutely loved the huge smile on Jalon Moore’s face after he nailed the two late free throws...

    AD Hire: J Batt

    One thing I really liked in the GT press release is that it made it clear Batt was chosen by Cabrera and will report directly to him. There is no shifting accountability to the GTAA Board - they endorsed the choice, but Cabrera made it. I don’t know if this is a change from past practice, but...

    GTAA Debt and Finances

    Part 2, a brief look at when and why the GTAA debt was incurred for anyone who is interested: Notes: 1. I developed this based on GTAA financial statements. Any errors or misinterpretations are my own. 2. For the most part these amounts represent the face value of notes and bonds outstanding...

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    So I have a question about timing. It was reported here that normal player meetings for Sunday were cancelled, which was taken as a sign that Collins was going to be fired. Key said that the coaches were in their presumably regular Sunday meeting when their phones blew up with the rumors. The...
