I would like to mention Freshman quarterback Gary Lanier in the 1976 Notre Dame game which Tech won. 23-14. He had a great supporting cast with Eddie Lee Ivery, David Sims and Drew Hill on offense and Lucius Sanford, Reggie Wilkes, and Don Bessellieu on Defense. Gary did a great job...

This is a good read!

I Agree, I feel like this a further dilution of the Product. Before long, the regular season will mean near zero. Also, I believe this is an additional move away from the College Mission! How many games per season can you play before you are a total Professional!!

As a freshman in 1962, I was assigned Glen 314. In those days, Glen 314 was a 2 room "suite" with double deck military style bunk beds. We had two sophomores and two freshmen in the suite. Obviously, in those days, we had no air conditioning, no phone except a pay phone down the hall...

I am about to be petty I suppose. I have a digital subscription to the AJC. I can't help but notice that Richt gets a nice Page 1 article. Paul is relegated to Page 7. I believe two Power 5 coaches should have equal coverage concerning HOF!!

I like your idea. We do need some system that gives all Power five schools a more realistic chance to compete for the top spot. Even Saban says that he thinks there should be more parity. Your idea would certainly test the sincerity of those comments. I suspect there would be a lot of...

Thanks for your thoughts on this. You and I may have a little different image of Tech Football than some of our younger Alumni Friends. For over 1/2 Century, I have felt like Tech Football would eventually return to the Stability and Consistent winning we experienced in those years. When I...

Thanks for the up-date. I was not aware that the Power 5 had voted on This. I am actually glad to hear that!

As far as slowing the drive towards professionalism, I will toss out two RADICAL ideas that will likely cause a major reaction. As far down the tracks as we have come. these rules may be impractical, but I will proceed. Two rules that the NCAA could change, and they might stand up to legal...

Assuming the SEC goes to the 9 game conference schedule, I do believe all of the ACC/SEC rival games are in jeopardy. Four of the SEC schools would basically be locked into their conference schedule plus one in state out of conference game. This still assumes two Group of Five or FCS teams...

I agree the return to smaller conferences is not likely in the current environment with the drive for more money and media attention. However, the old Southern Conference with 23 members eventually dissolved into the SEC, ACC, and Southern Conference due to different priorities and...

I Guess my "Traditionalist" thinking comes from my time at Tech from 1962-67. I believe Rivalries develop from proximity and playing repetitive games like the long rivalries we had developed with Auburn, Georgia, Tenn, and Alabama. For example, Tech's major rivals were within a...

I consider myself to be a Traditionalist. I am very hopeful the SEC and Big 10 will not expand past 16. I am hopeful the University Presidents will take a stand on the principle that every Student Athletic should play every Conference team Home and Away before graduating. The ACC has set the...

My wife and I were at the Tax Slayer bowl in 2016. I received one of those Facetious "Good Luck" wishes from a Kentucky fan on the way into the Stadium. Tech option ground them up like Sausage!

Agree! Hopefully Coach Key and a renewed commitment will bring us back to revelance!

Agree with many of your points. As most of the Swarm members are aware, Tech tried to obtain an invitation to rejoin the SEC in 1977. We were voted down by the SEC (AJC 11-28-77). However, did Georgia Tech have a legitimate possibility of rejoining the SEC in the 1989-1990 period? I...

Thanks for your Welcome to the Swarm! Larry

Hello GT Swarm, I am new to this site. I am a GT Graduate (Class of 1967--Should have been 1966). So, I was in school during the last four years of Dodd. The best games I attended while at Tech were the 1962 and 1964 Alabama games and the 1966 Tennesse game. I have been a season ticket...
