Interesting use of the word free. If your employer offered you "free" CE, "free" meals, "free" health insurance, and access to "free" gym would you show up to work everyday if they didn't pay you a salary? If your answer is no, I guess you're no different than the student athletes. If your...

Sounds like a lack of player leadership on that team. And winning isn’t simple. The concept is, but everyone is trying to win. Hene for Doing stuff like this builds camaraderie, toughness, and grit. You also find out who is willing to grind it out when things get tough and who is soft...

My concern is the interior of our DL. I think we will have some guys that can really get after the QB of the edge. I'm no DL expert, but I'm hoping we move Clayton and maybe White inside some on passing downs to get 4 guys in there that can get after the QB. That edge group and the RB group...

I think this is a ridiculous statement. I'll show why below. Let's start with Jones. I was 5 when he was playing in 1990 so I can't say I remember him playing. What I do want to do is compare his 2nd year (3rd year at GT and NC year) stats to Jeff Sims true freshman (with little to no Spring...

I agree. I think we saw some of that last year in spots but regressed in others. I expect we will see most if not all your asking for this year. I have been frustrated with the in game adjustments as well. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. I feel like Thacker and crew normally do a...

There is a lot that goes into those predictions (or at least I would assume there is. My guess is it’s heavily weighted on returning production, overall talent level, and schedule. I’ll just focus on schedule. Below is what I feel our rejected record would be all things being equal but changing...

That’s true of anything nowadays. Everything happens in short video clips and tweets now. What’s trending now, isn’t in an hour. That’s why I’m thankful we have a staff that understand this and knows how to use it to our advantage. I’m sure they will find ways to use this clip again in the...

I agree the divide will most likely only continue to grow. Could change, but will only do so if can interest wanes. As for fan status changing in Atlanta, that wasn’t what I was speaking of when I mentioned Collins. When I said I trust Collins to leverage this to our advantage, I meant in...

Haha was when I was at GT. Not in 09 though.

I think the point is, it doesn’t matter. I believe it was @Techster that pointed out how many followers ESPN and a couple others have who tweeted out the video. That’s a bunch of people who don’t know anything about GT seeing one of the biggest names in the industry at GT. The 2-4 days of play...

Not sure if we are in agreement and you were trying to prove my point or not, but you did. Why #1? Morgan Burnett Why #9? Josh Nesbitt Why #21? Jonathan Dwyer Why didn’t they have a number 43 or 67? Because they wouldn’t sell as many. People want to buy jerseys of their favorite player (most...

If you trust the NCAA to crack down on the likes of UGA, Clemson or Bama, good for you. They won’t. Everyone knows they are throwing money at kids. Heck a Clemson coach admitted it I’m pretty sure and nothing happens. Same NCAA that took away our ACC championship for Baybay getting ~$300 in...

I agree it’s mainly for football and basketball. I also agree it’s most likely the only chance many of these kids would have at attending the school the do go to. Shoot there is no way I would’ve even been considered by GT if I didn’t throw a baseball pretty hard. I have no problem admitting...

See you’re conflating things now. If you read above you would’ve seen that I said baseball has 12.5 schollies for 30 players. There are maybe 1-2 guys on any team that get a full ride offer in baseball. So anyone who gets that offer is thrilled I’m sure. Those same people though are like the kid...

First bolded part: If this is the case, why do schools spend millions of dollars recruiting these kids and services like Rivals and 247 exist? This could not be further from the truth. I'd say maybe 25-30% of SA's are simply THRILLED to get a "free-ride" for playing a sport. I don't follow...

It kind of blows my mind some of y'all are so upset about these kids getting paid. The NCAA makes billions and these schools make millions of dollars and y'all don't think the actual product should get any piece of that? And please don't come at me with the "they get a scholarship, meals, a...

That’s my whole point. I was merely pointing out the irony in the OP’s point of view. I’d say both coaches walked into severely under talented teams and have had to build them up. Pastner just has a few years head start on Collins. Our roster looks significantly different going into year 3...

It’s not homerism. Maybe a misunderstanding of what you meant by “anyone outside GT circles would acknowledge as legit.” If you meant other teams fans, the media, or maybe even NFL scouts I might agree with you. Probably not on that last part, but that’s fine. My comment was coming from the...

This is false. Cochran and White are legit NFL prospects. I guarantee you teams would consider Domineck legit after how he played last year. I’ll add McGowan, Mason, Eley, Swiling, and Sims as guys who have played meaningful snaps and people would consider legit. My guess is you could throw in...

You do know that Pastner coached GT teams finished 11th, 13th, and 10th in his first 3 years. He also went 12-24 in year 2 and 3 in the ACC and 27-37 overall. I find it interesting that you’re so fond of a coach who by all accounts was bad and on the hot seat early on while at the same time...
