    Former GT QB Jeff Sims

    A friend of mine is married to his former Sunday school teachers. She raves about what a great kid he is. So I'll put it on his coaching - or lack thereof - in his time on The Flats.

    OL Discussion

    Having guys who have played now, for two, three and up to four years, has been incredibly valuable. I think Geep Wade is doing a very good job getting the O line ready to play week in and week out. We went through a period where they either didn't develop or the transfers did not work out as...

    ACC Preseason Media Poll

    They were not very good last year. I think Clawson is a good coach, but that team really wasn't very good. They went 1-7 after we beat them. And sometimes, having all a bunch of guys back just means they're older. Doesn't mean they're better.

    ACC Preseason Media Poll

    Pot is legal out there, right? That would explain it.

    What’s the worst weather at a Tech game you can remember?

    After the Orange Bowl against Iowa, there was a small fire in the laundry room of the hotel we were staying at, and everybody had to evacuate the rooms at around 0400. Couldn't wait to get back to Georgia at that moment. The second half deluge game at home against UNC was made better with...

    2024 GT FB Info Guide is out!

    The cost of printing and mailing those preseason media guides has gone through the roof. From the folks I know who buy paper by the truckload, that price has gone up by 5x, and that's newsprint, not the slick material that is even more expensive. Besides, as bad as the post office is now...

    2024 GT FB Info Guide is out!

    Mistake on page 195. Clemson didn't beat us 77-3. It was 73-7. It was bad. Real bad. As in record setting bad. But the spread was only 66 points, not 74.

    PJ even called out Drew going through our center on the XP in his post game presser. Our center did his best to grab Drew's jersey and hang on too. Ray Drew is a minister now, I believe, back in Thomasville.

    I’m making a documentary about the 2014 season for its 10th anniversary

    If you want to go journalism, I'd suggest learning as much as history and English as possible. Those are a far better for a background in journalism than ... journalism is. I'd try to get on with the Technique at some point too, just to get the writing chops down. There is this undergrad...

    He may not have JT's speed - who does, though Haynes is not slow by any means - but he looks to be a better passer than JT, who wasn't bad. If Haynes can limit the turnovers, he's got a chance to put big numbers and wins. JT is a good comp for Haynes when it comes to on field leadership.

    He hated fundraising and marketing. But he knew he needed players if he wanted to win. And nobody hated losing more than PJ. There were aspects of recruiting he didn't like but he also knew how important it was. I also want to know how he is "responsible for us losing thousands of fans." Saw a...

    2024 Football Portal

    So the SI dude quotes the 247sports guy's results. Nice work if you can get it. But he didn't mention that at the bottom of that 247 story the original writer tabulated the average transfer rating for ACC schools. And we wound up near the bottom. So while there is a net gain, and one of the...

    I’m making a documentary about the 2014 season for its 10th anniversary

    Two peeves. One, PJ never said he hated recruiting. He didn't care for recruiting rankings. Thought they were dumb. He may have disliked the recruiting process, especially now, when it's all about how much money you can come up with up front. Besides, if he didn't care about recruiting, we...

    Saw on Reddit that long time GT Radio Broadcast Engineer Miller Pope has passed.

    No telling how many games he was at either courtside or in the press box for. RIP Mr. Pope.

    Watching at my buddy's house in Savannah. Right after Butker made the kick, I turned to my buddy and said, "there is something about this team. We are about to be in for a very special season." All the way to midnight at the Orange Bowl.

    2024 Schedule Difficulty - Projections per CFN

    Why would the B1G want us now? They're already in the Atlanta market. Look at how Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State already recruit Georgia. Minnesota has recruited the state hard too. And they're not getting 1990 Tech (national contenders in football, basketball and baseball)...
