This simple paragraph sums up GT and its fans very nicely imo. Communication from the GTAA is so poor Tech fans don't know if its a home game or not. Then Tech fans spend hours debating the topic amongst themselves with neither proponents or opponents of the "it's a home game" side of the...

I just googled and found him on LinkedIn. He has moved on to other things and apparently was at Clemson for a short time (<1 year).

I apologize if you think I was defending our recent D play. That was not my intent. OTOH, trying to rank the different D's under our last 5-6 DC's is a nuanced intellectual exercise in futility. I haven't seen a D on Grant Field that has been impressive since Tenuta left although we may have had...

If it is indeed Kelley I am thankful that he survived to adulthood. That dude was fearless in fielding punts and would scare the bejeezus out of me on more than 1 occasion. I don't recall ever seeing him fair catch a punt. If I were a punt returner i would raise my hand upon the snap of the...

I could be wrong but mst of our highly rated D recruits over the last 4-6 years have all been DB's. Our D line and LB recruiting has not been up to similar standards although I do know we have some very young DT's that were 4 stars. Our DL and LB play has been abysmal now for 7-8 (10?) years. So...

FWIW, most of us old guys who got to enjoy the natty did in fact see worse, or at very least similar. times than these. This isn't our first rodeo. The more things change, the more they stay the same as they say.

Interestingly enough, I travelled through Nebraska both ways on an earlier trip to the Badlands this summer. I stayed overnight each way and found myself in bars and restaurants (oddly enough huh?) in rather obscure villages and hamlets. I posed this question (can Nebraska ever find its way back...

Off topic but a friend of ours has a father (Bill) aged 94. He drinks two martinis and smokes a cigar every day and has since a young man. His doctor told him recently that he should give up smoking and drinking. Bill's response was "why?". Doctor didn't have a good answer.

At my age, any of them are! even the guys not on the board. ;)

If he made such a quantum leap as you suggest he would have his choice of opportunities in '23 (hope he achieves it). I wish the pieces you mentioned though were linemen rather than skill guys. I think me, you and 3 other randomly selected individuals from this board could have moved the ball...

I am expecting to see marked improvement on the O side even with all the youth and inexperience. I think it was a good career move on Long's part no matter what transpires this year. In my career, you wanted to be the guy who takes over when things are at the bottom rather than at the top...

I appreciate your perspective but could not disagree more. These are symptoms. The root cause is higher imo. The buck stops at the top. The school is interested in athletics but not commited to them. As a result, we have had a series of bad to mediocre AD's since Homer Rice. This isn't by...

There has been some housekeeping in this thread. No one is happy with the status of things but the handful of us remaining fans are not the root cause.

You should see our PM’s…we get frequent reminders of our mental acumen. Apparently our spouses were correct all along. 😎

You are more than likely 100% correct but c'mon, let's admit it....deep down inside don't you think people who choose this school/team to follow and root for on a 100% voluntarily basis aren't just more than a touch crazy???? I only know one GT fan outside of my circle of GT fans and he is an...

I am going to move our number up by myself next year! I plan to retire from a teaching job. If I am not counted in the statistics won't both the median and mean shift (perhaps the mode as well but not necessarily)? :p

Another guy who showed some flashes last year was Zeke Biggers. I would like for him to get more snaps and continue to progress. I think he could be one of our best DT's in awhile if he does the work.

Smith is most definitely not a sleeper (IMO). He was as effective (IMO again) as Mason or Gibbs.

@gtchem05 - these are great questions and I think it would help some (maybe just myself) decide to get off the fence. Apologies in advance if I have missed this elsewhere but I have had a lot of travel in the last month or so. Regards.

Thoughtful response. Thanks for sharing your perspective on this. When i think back to my own adjustment from the educational process to engineering world, the biggest adjustment (for me) was that I was getting "assigned" problems for which the answers were not known a priori. in high school and...
