I think this is the biggest issue and quite frankly why you do not see college football teams in big cities do well as programs for the most part. If you are in the area for most large college football programs there is not much competing for your entertainment dollar. If you are in a large...

National article on things to watch this spring. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/22-things-for-spring-the-college-football-teams-names-and-storylines-you-need-to-know-in-2022/ 8. Transfer palooza: Forget the bitching and moaning about the transfer portal. The criticism is...

Getting feeling back is important. Hope he is ok.

Not a surprise. Gibbs, Ivey, Domineck, Walker are all going to end up at better programs than GT. Griffin and Lockhart might. Our early transfer entries were mostly not significant losses but our later ones are.

ibeeballin, did you see the Scott injury? Any word on how serious?

1. Have to have a better product on the field. 2. Figure out what you want to be as a gameday experience. I feel like the experience is sort of all over the map right now. How glitzy do you want to be, how focused on college traditions. etc. 3. Shorten the game. College football is currently the...

I've even seen one article suggesting that betting on college games is hurting attendance. It is easier to follow and place bets if you are at home than if you are in the stadium.

Good article on changes in ticket markets both professional and college. https://sports.yahoo.com/attendance-down-across-sports-ticket-050156066.html Attendance numbers generally track the number of tickets distributed, whereas scan rates are used to see how many fans actually show up...

I don't think GT has enough fans to fill a 55K stadium and likely hasn't for generations. Building it to 55K was likely a financial mistake. College football attendance continues to decline with no suggestion that it is likely to change anytime soon (most conferences are back to attendance...

I don't expect either to play as true freshmen. Neither was a consensus 4 star. They were both 4 stars on rivals but 3 stars at 247. Miles was 4 star on ESPN, Lockett a 3-ster. Also, keep in mind that Miles did not play at all this past season due to injury and has played just 6 games in the...

I suspect Gibson was told he would have a chance to compete for the starting QB job against an incumbent starter. But coming here allows him to be close to home, play with his brother, and play at a P5 school. That all likely carried some weight. Gibson was not a QB that someone was going to...

It's more likely he was the best we were able to attract out of the portal. First, GT has not been very good the last few years and lost most of its proven playmakers on offense. Second it has a returning starting QB. If you look at where the top ranked QB's in the portal went it is largely...

I sort of feel like Franklin may be the most important player on the team in terms of keeping him upright and in games. Not only is he going to be calling the signals for the OL and needing to consistently put the FB in the QB's hands, if he goes down do we have anyone else who has even played a...

Updated look at ACC Transfer rankings from Mike Farrell at Rivals as more transfer players make their decisions. He currently has GT at #7 in his ACC transfer portal rankings behind FSU, UVA, L'ville, Miami, Syracuse and Pitt...

I'll add that in general GT has made very good hires in the FB program over the last 40 years. IMO Ross, O'Leary, Gailey and Johnson were all above average college coaches (some more than others). If they weren't GT wouldn't have won nearly as much as it has over the last 4 decades. Without an...

I'm not shocked at all - you certainly shouldn't read my post that way. Dictators are bad and should never be allowed period. The whole point of the American Experiment is to protect against dictators.

Pandora is so far out of the box that there is no chance to go back. In less than a year the NIL is already being used in ways that were not intended. The idea was for athletes to be able to generate income off their NIL, but it has already become a way for boosters to straight out pay for...

IF any of the true FR OL are playing this year then that is likely a very bad sign imo. We are not recruiting the level of OL that you would expect to play as FR in a P5 conference. The OL and DL are by far my two biggest concerns. The OL looks shallow and unexperienced - we are really relying...

Much like Slug I just think that there are so many question marks all I can do is hope that most are resolved in a positive fashion so we can get to 6 wins and a bowl. At the end of the day though I think our wins are mostly determined by our OL and DL play. The OL is arguably a little more...
