  1. Bowl Season

    It is amazing how much this has changed during my working life. When I first started working after college it was understood you would come into work unless you were on death's door. That changed significantly probably around 10 years ago (imo about the time we started seeing more people work...
  2. Wednesday at Syracuse Postponed

    No need to cancel the season. Just have to muddle through the next 5-6 weeks until the latest spike subsides. I'm expecting from mid-February on things should be in pretty good shape.
  3. Bowl Season

    Miami has pulled out of the Sun Bowl https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/miami-withdraws-from-2021-sun-bowl-vs-washington-state-due-to-covid-19-issues-within-hurricanes-program/
  4. Bowl Season

    Here are the rules for the CFP for this year. The College Football Playoff Management Committee announced Wednesday that semifinal games will not be made up if a team does not have enough players available due to COVID-19 cases. If a team is unable to field enough players, it would forfeit the...
  5. Men’s game v Alabama A&M Postponed

    Supposedly Bubba and Coleman were both in the COVID protocols prior to the GA ST game. With the incredible transmisibility of the current variant and the fact that if you don't have the booster shot the vaccines give only limited protection against infection, it should not be surprising to see...
  6. Bowl Season

    Texas A&M has pulled out of the Gator Bowl due to COVID (currently has only 38 players available). Will have to wait and see if the Gator can get another team lined up to play Wake - which is seeking a record 11th win. Also, at least a couple of UGA players (JT Daniels and George Pickens) have...
  7. Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    I feel like our current staff has the same issue. Little changing of players regardless of how they are performing on the field.
  8. New Hires........so far.

    My impression is that the remaining open coaching position will be used on an offensive assistant. I think the defense is basially set - which concerns me as that means that really the only changes are Tillman for Burton and Popovich and Collins being more involved in the defense (when we were...
  9. Gibbs has announced his commitment to bama

    Good article on this from CBSSports https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/alabama-lands-rb-jahmyr-gibbs-versatile-playmaker-transferring-from-georgia-tech-to-crimson-tide/ Suggests Bill O'Brien might use him as a jack of all trades in the offense. I also thnk this is a very...
  10. New Hires........so far.

    I'm fairly neutral on the coaching hires. I'm purely in show me territory at this point. I think Long is a likely upgrade over DP Tillman I have no idea. We literally cannot be worse than we were last year in the secondary, but how much it improves under Tillman, I have no idea. Daniels looks...
  11. Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    People need to stop thinking that the NCAA has any power over college football, it has basically no power over college football. Everything other than student eligibility is pretty much handled by the P5 conferences. Technically the NCAA is also in charge of enforcement but its enforcement arm...
  12. Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    College football is very different than it was 30 years ago and will continue to evolve in the way it has due to who runs college football. Fans like to constantly dump on the NCAA but largely fail to understand that the NCAA has almost nothing to do with college football as the fans understand...
  13. 12/15 Early Signing Day: GT

    ACC Overview from 247sports https://247sports.com/college/football/recruiting/Article/Signing-Day-2021-ACC-recruiting-rankings-storylines-247Sports-178540593/ One note that was made is that most of the ACC classes were small this year. Only 2 schools - VT and BC signed more than 17 players. GT...
  14. 12/15 Early Signing Day: GT

    Want to say congrats to all of the young men who signed with GT yesterday. I hope you all have great career's on the Flats both academically and athletically. I feel like we got some really talented kids. FWIW, here are the current recruiting rankings 247Sports 41 Recruits (this is just the HS...
  15. Collins/Thacker Defensive Scheme Question

    Did anyone else see this comment by Collins at his PC yesterday and take it to mean that Thacker will remain as DC with 'extra help' from Collins. “Through the course of my career, I’ve been tabbed by others as one of the elite college defensive coaches in football. For me to use that...
  16. Collins/Thacker Defensive Scheme Question

    Hewitt's buyout was $7.2M, that hardly is what is causing the debt issues. The debt issues are caused from all the athletic facilities we've been building. We are basically building facilities to 'keep up with the Joneses' that we don't really have the money to support. Basically starts with...
  17. Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    The Griffin news is the best of the day so far. Really happy he decided to come back.
  18. Disney and YouTubeTV in a spat

    If you haven't heard Disney and YouTubeTV are currently in negotiations for a new agreement. The current one expires Dec 17th. If an agreement is not reached the following channels will be removed from YouTubeTV ABC (local affiliate stations) ABC News Live Disney Channel Disney Junior Disney...
  19. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego…um…er…Tashard Choice? (TX?)

    He was having a good year (at its highest it was at 22/23 - 247 and Rivals), but he was going to have to finish strong in order to hold a Top 25 ranking as GT was able to jump out early with commitments. The program desperately needed to win 6 games this year, as this is about the time that it...
  20. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego…um…er…Tashard Choice? (TX?)

    This doesn't shock me and is unlikely to change. As I have said in the recent past, look at the demographics of GT's student body and compare it to the demographics at most other schools around it, and the demographics for college football fans in general, and GT's student body doesn't look like...
