  1. Haynes King starting vs. UL

    After watching our previous QB for a few seasons that is exactly what we need. It’s like the previous coach took a stud mobile QB and convinced him to try and be a pocket passer in order to get in the NFL. And he ruined that guy.
  2. Conference Realignment

    I get that you in Chicago and I live in South Georgia. But that doesn’t mean that we can only speak on areas we live. Both of us have been college football freaks a long time. I became a fan in 1979 when I was 9 and moved from Maryland (where all I knew was Lefty) to Mobile where it was the...
  3. Conference Realignment

    I don’t disagree but just because the ACC is lower than the BIG overall TODAY doesn’t mean anyone in the BIG outside of Ohio State is worth anything. That’s been proven time and time again when the SEC pounds the BIG. And to bring up simple facts since 2005 the ACC has 2 teams with legit...
  4. Conference Realignment

    I love the enthusiasm some of you show regarding the ACC and I appreciate it. The simple fact of the matter is you guys are 20-25 years too late. The ACC, thanks to poor conference leadership (although great leadership for the Carolina schools and Coach K and Dean) the ACC is the walking dead...
  5. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    Totally agree. And it’s been this way, as you point out, a long time. In the end those players who put in the work to obtain skills someone wants to pay for will be rewarded in the business world. Those who don’t and don’t make the NFL will look back with regret. And those who make the NFL...
  6. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    And the minute they do that we go back to having runners and burner phones. Just don’t have any rules. That is better than uneven, or worse, targeted enforcement. We just spent 60 years of that and I’m glad that era is over. Just drop all rules. If a human is enrolled in your school he...
  7. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    This is what I’ve been saying. GT fans should look forward to this new system because we are situated fairly well in a business mecca area along with a population base. Sure, UGA owns it now but if freaking Missouri can figure a way to entice 5 stars under this system then so can GT. I can...
  8. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    But there is no entity to enforce it. That’s been the issue with college athletics for 100 years. The NCAA has walked away as the rule enforcer. Which is great because they sucked at it. They destroy SMU, take a title away from GT, put us on probation all while the blue bloods bought Natty...
  9. Conference Realignment

    This is yet another reason I can’t wait for the expanded version. Not only will the little teams who have big years have a chance on the field (instead of playing in some worthless bowl) but the blue bloods will have obstacles in a playoff system such as 1) less time to prepare for a team they...
  10. Conference Realignment

    I get it. But to say “this greed-fueled realignment and gross inflation of the sport” as if this is something new I just find weird. It’s as if no one other than a few of us actually know history. The entire sport was based on greed. And every era can point to a “gross inflation of the...
  11. Conference Realignment

    Well, you’ll have no one to blame but GT then. GT isn’t being excluded by anyone. We are excluding ourselves. We could be in the BIG right now and we turned them down. They didn’t turn us down. GT could be in the SEC right now but we left them. They didn’t leave us. And I’ll absolutely...
  12. Yet another CPJ vs CGC thread

    Well, we are entering year 5 after Johnson and his anemic coaching. It’s amazing how GT football has taken off with coaches who tailored their offense to the new rules regarding blocking, NIL, and closing the gap between us, UGA, and Clemson. I know I’ve highly enjoyed watching this new era of...
  13. Conference Realignment

    Those who say they wont watch the big matchups if GT isn’t a part is just comical to me. We haven’t been in the “club” in a long time yet everyone has been watching the 3 playoff games to hope UGA loses. Once we get into a 24plus team playoff (whether GT is a part or not) everyone will watch...
  14. 2023 Fall Practice Notes

    Yep. We’ll see if Thacker being retained was the right call or not. We all love the guys energy and he seems like a good overall person. Great. But he isn’t getting paid to be a great overall person, he’s being paid to not have a way below average defense. Kiffen Is his test because Kiffen...
  15. 2023 Fall Practice Notes

    Ole Miss will absolutely be a marker game for Thacker. Everyone has heaped all that was bad regarding our defense on Collins. Fine. Thacker has been given a new life after his defenses have been near the bottom of the ACC since day 1. Ole Miss will cut through the BS. We either make strides...
  16. Conference Realignment

    And 5 years ago we were all making fun of choke job Kirby. Believing FSU isn’t a power because they’ve had a tough time replacing a legend coach (which happens every where) is no different than looking at GT and believing that we are worthless because of Collins. FSU is just fine and we easily...
  17. Conference Realignment

    This is why I’m all in on expanded playoffs. HOPE is the secret ingredient for fans. Without HOPE people lose interest. As you pointed out, by the end of September 75% of all teams have lost hope for the playoffs. By mid October there will be about 8 teams with HOPE left for the 4 spots...
  18. Conference Realignment

    Yep. Exactly. This should have happened 40 years ago but those thieves who ran the bowl system perfected the art of the “$100 handshake” to the right people and kept a stranglehold on the post season. Remember the angst when the tipping point was finally reached with fans clamoring. The...
  19. Conference Realignment

    What I think we all can agree on is that all of this movement from 5 years ago to over the next 5 years will lead to 1) a hugely expanded playoff system, and 2) the increasing chance that some conferences will break away from the NCAA in football and form their own entity. I welcome either...
  20. 2023 Fall Practice Notes

    Loved Gibson’s realistic mature attitude. Seems like a very solid young man who makes his parents proud. King sounds like a D1 QB baller that knows football is about one thing - producing. Pyron sounds like a great young man who has a lot of upside. Just seeing the spring game and listening...
