    What is Winning?

    That was a good article, and Schultz has a good sports-reporting sense. Although I still don't like Schultz's swarmy know-it-all attitude about leading an enterprise. He is clearly clueless about the topic based on his comments. Oh well. I guess you go to journalism school because you can't do...

    2021 ACC and Competition News

    Who did Pitt pay to get that schedule? Is there even anyone left on that Tennessee team after 25 Portal losses?

    What is Winning?

    Yes! And...it's not just the X's and O's, nor just the Bobby and the Joes. It is also chemistry, buy-in, accountability and belief. I think CGC looks pretty darn good on the latter, at least from the outside. He also seems to be making strides on the recruiting element too. Now can we get the...

    What is Winning?

    I think that winning 9+ games should be the goal every year. There is a difference between setting a goal and consistently achieving it. I, for one, like to set almost unachievable goals while not beating myself up for not consistently achieving them. But 9+ wins 4 out of 10 years? Yeah, I do...

    Name and Likeness Law Signed by Kemp

    LOL. Just a joke on the kilt-comment :) Well, they are a monopoly. But are they really? By that I mean are their other options that could be pursued by athletes that don't require that they attend an NCAA school? There are. They aren't good, but there are options (Europe for some sports, minor...

    Name and Likeness Law Signed by Kemp

    How do you know where I work? ;) Protest? Not so much. I'd expect a justification so that I could understand why the decision. But I'm pretty sure that we've been given one by the NCAA, we just don't accept it. But honestly, I'd work someplace else, even if it meant taking less money or doing...

    Non-adidas GT Swag

    Those are good looking shirts and hoodies, but the reflection they throw on your face is pretty severe.

    Expectations for the 2021 season

    The crazy thing is if we beat any of them they'll get downgraded in the final ranking. I'm hoping at the end of the season we were considered to have an average schedule! ;)

    Name and Likeness Law Signed by Kemp

    I wasn't taking digs at you, so ease up. I was saying that most of the arguments I hear for NIL have a very heavy does of victimhood, including this one. As I said, I support NIL, but justifying it with an appeal to unfairness weakens the argument more than makes it. It's been said before but...

    Name and Likeness Law Signed by Kemp

    To assume that student-athletes have it the worse than others is just intentionally ignoring the very-many-multiples more of college kids who worked their own way through college without any support from anyone. I guess in the age of Virtuous Victimhood, I'm not completely surprised. I have no...

    Name and Likeness Law Signed by Kemp

    I was going to stay out of this but I really can't let this example pass by without comment. Donald De La Haye made a choice. Sounds like it was a good one. Just like almost every successful business person has had to make at one point or more points in their career. I don't get this belief...

    Hulu live dropping Fox regional sports channels

    True, but when you can't figure out what the product of a service is then you are the product. So I've avoided streaming sites because I can't figure out how they monetize me and I'm too lazy to put in all the system protections to stay safe. As my mom told me when I went to Mexico as a 17 year...

    What is Winning?

    So my 40% of seasons with 9 or more wins is pretty ambitious at about twice the historical rate. (9/50 ~ 20%). It just doesn't feel like 10 win seasons once every 5 years is so out of reach as to be unrealistic. Do the numbers you quote account for the fact that many of those 50 years of...

    LOL. Everyone's fandom is different. Not everyone is all WOOT! all the time, and I think that's okay personally. I just don't appreciate the consistently negative nellies. Why even bother being a fan?

    Non-adidas GT Swag

    I like the vintage sweaters! But I can't do horizontal stripes. It 'accentuates' my figure too much. I look like a kid's top. Of course, vertical stripes make me look like a watermelon. Hmm...maybe it's me and not the clothes.

    TV Options

    And so short-sighted. A casual fan will never jump through hoops like this to watch a game, so their kid, who might have been drawn in by watching ACC teams, will instead become an SEC fan. Stupid.

    Ross Statue

    I'm very thankful for Ross and believe he did GT a proper. I wish he had stayed longer, but what more can you expect than a Natty? Sure, it would have been nice if it wasn't one and done, but I'd take one and done every ten years over always in the wedding but never the groom. Unfortunately, we...
