Thanks for the responses. Now for my next question, I know in FB you can get immediate help from FR at the skill spots but rarely, if ever, on the LOS. Basketball a true FR can come in and take a team to a NC or be an ALL_American at any spot on the floor. In baseball, what is reasonable to...

I had one other thought on this. Of course mine aren't backed up by your excellence research. But recall all of the players who have had their career best games against us over the years/decades. Guys who, prior to the game, you simply were not aware of. But then a guy rushes for 200 yards or...

I don't follow baseball closely but isn't this the same complaint at the start of each year? For those of you with more knowledge on the topic, is there any reason to believe it will be different this spring...returning experience, players coming back from injury, transfer portal, incoming freshmen?

slugboy, at this point I don't know that we have the 8. Gibbs of course was one. I am not disparaging anyone but I would have to say across the board we don't have the guys who, when the opposing coaches speak in their pregame pressers, refer to the guy by either his number or name. Not saying...

It's that darn calculus again! Sometimes, I wish it had never been discovered. ;)

@flea77, most of those who post here don't like those things either. If they did initially, the enthusiasm has certainly diminished in light of the last 3 years. I think it is quite possible that year 4 may wrap things up. A lot of our posters will be giddy when this happens. just like they were...

Flea, earlier in this thread (or elsewhere) you asked about Gt returning to being a competitive program. My response was that, in essence, that really is not a priority for the school. If they make a lucky hire the next time, we might become competitive in the ACC Coastal again for what that's...

We did but it was still 5 pages. If the first two or three posters (at maximum) would wrap up when they tackle an issue, there wouldn't be as many PAC's (posts after contact). What is it about GT that prevents us from being good tacklers? It starts while we are in school apparently.;)

I think the transfer portal sort of verifies this, both for GT and college FB in general. Look at transfer portal data overall. The transfers like Joe Burrows, Jalen Hurts and Jamhyr Giggs get the headlines but the data suggests most of these guys fade into oblivion. I saw a post or article on...

If we are really interested in debate, I would argue that anyone who negotiates a contract that wil pay them 7 to 8 or more figures is indeed successful. In fact, very successful. As the meme says, change my mind.

In the "everyone gets a trophy" category, some schools like UCF don't even need the approval of an outside party to proclaim themselves national champs! Let's borrow from that and proclaim ourselves the '21 national champs. I would love to get THAT tee-shirt!!

I agree. Alabama has seen the same thing. I teach at a school that sends kids to the best schools in the world. This will not be well received here but to HS kids here, the tier one schools might include the Ivy league plus a few others (MIT, CalTech). Tier 2 would include GT, Duke, Stanford...

Yes. That is fair. It's ironic for me....the money is now insane. What we (and 90%) of other programs spend to be more or less middle of the pack or worse is untenable. I don't want to see us spend a $6MM per year salary on our next coach who hopefully wins 7 games a year. To become a WFOMOS...

I think, at the end of the day, nothing will change. Yeah, we will replace the coach. and the next guy will get us back to the CPJ/CCG levels. It will be exciting for 2-3 years as it will be a respite from the 3 win seasons. But we will hit the ceiling that just naturally exists because our...

Thanks but I recall Ricky Dobbs as being the engineering major? Perhaps they both were? I do not trust my memory on these things tbh.

I don't want to speak for another but I did not get that tone at all from his post. I think he was politely suggesting that you read a post thoroughly and think about your response before you hit the reply button. Your response to my post was not relative at all to the topic, which was Jarrett...

I wonder if that model is sustainable in the long run. Sure after our last 5 or 6 years the Hunts Frozen Pizza Bowl in Waycross will be great. But what if we get beat by Uga and Clemson by 45 points along the way? Will we be happy knowing that we are, if not officially, playing on a lower level...

To push back on this for the sake of discussion, we are proud of our 4. But there are schools with more than us so we need to be careful about casting stones or pointing out the splinter in others' eyes.

Good points. Both the schools you have are committed (if by commitment you mean money) but they have other systemic and root cause issues. In this case, there is an incestuous relationship between the boosters and the AA resulting in a too many chiefs and not enough Indians situation (throw the...
