I was using FEI, not the NCAA stats. FEI adjusts for competition and looks at stats relative to average performance given the drive situations. Also, they get rid of garbage stats.

Our offense is where the worry needs to be, for sure. Last year we were 41 in defense and 112 in offense.

In UGA's, the contributions do include premium ticket sales. They have $37M in ticket sales + $74M in contributions (which includes ticket fees above face value), so a total of $111M. Tech accounts for those ticket premiums in "Event Related" revenue from Premium Leases fees, which means...

Look at the amount of money the AA collects in donations (FY22: $6.9M). Then look at what UGA collects in donations (FY22: $74.3M). The difference is something like $70M per year. This is much more than the conference/media rights (GT: ~$37.5M vs UGA: ~$53M). GT Link...

One of my fondest memories was the 1998 (well, 1/1/1999) Gator Bowl against Notre Dame. I started school in 1992 and wasn't really a Tech fan before that, so my first 4 years we were just terrible. In the 1997-98 season we finally made a bowl (Carquest), but the 1998 season (9-2) was great and...

I don't have the ability to comment on the play of the OL before and after Collins' dismissal, but it sure seemed like the team played better and was better prepared after Key took over. I always think there is an emotional bounce up in performance after a big change like a coaching change...

LOL. I don't recall him calling for coaching contract caps to ensure parity.

That’s what I was referring to, yes. I’m taking a really long view here - pressures on paying athletes increased over years and I feel the head coach pay + huge media contracts finally reached a tipping point where public opinion turned in favor of athletes. That video game thing was the...

I honestly don’t know, but I can speculate. It’s possible that the graduate degree he will pursue is endorsed by the academy and part of his overall career plan. One of my cousins-in-law graduated at Navy and then went to grad school immediately after at a large public University, so I know...

I was referring to the dramatic increase in money into College Football that was showing up in the College Football coaches' salaries while the student athletes could lose the ability to play if they accepted a t-shirt. This is the imbalance I was referring to - from the Student Athlete's...

But then it's not affiliated with the school, and the fans (you know, the ones that pay for all that stuff) don't have an emotional tie to the team.

All of those rules were put in place to restrict mobility, and are what created the imbalance that the player's cite. With COVID-based removal of these restrictions, now people have a taste for what the ultimate in mobility really means, and it has significantly balanced the equation...

They're going to get rid of the 25 limit, I think. With the portal it's not really feasible any more.

Good article about the Saban coaching tree and why what they do at Alabama is different.

Are these the same boosters that wanted Collins? If so, perhaps it's time to question these people's judgement. I'm not sure why anyone thinks it's a good idea to make hiring decisions with the input of people that have no idea what it takes to be successful in a job. I need to hire a data...

I have no idea, probably not. But there are too many hypotheticals when comparing across staffs and years. i guess we should all refrain from doing that from now on. My whole point was that some QBs develop to the next level and some dont, and Freshman year performance does not mean all is...

I mean, there are a ton of differences like the offensive line, etc. What I remember is that, from a decision making perspective, Joe continued to improve and Reggie was more static.

I made this post on the other board; it's applicable here: Just want to remind everyone of our best QB ever, and his career stats, including his first-year as a starter: Year School Conf Class Pos G Cmp Att Pct Yds Y/A AY/A TD Int Rate Team W/L 1996 Georgia Tech ACC QB 10 108 188 57.4 1342 7.1...

Not to mention extended hospitalization and potentially being on a ventilator, which can lead to long term health issues.

Maybe it will make people enjoy games more. Rather than complaining about every little thing, they can be happy they get to go.
