    Conference Realignment

    More than half of all Tech fans do live in the 404. I am proud to say I know all 12 of them! :p

    GT just won a couple National Championships, did you know?

    I can not argue wih the meat judging champions. Sure, they were under the radar (remember the Ocho saying that the Iowa State Cyclones and the Nebraska-Kearney Titmouses as being the only two teams who would even sniff a championship given their respective rosters of returning 4 and 5 star meat...

    Conference Realignment

    Nowadays, for adults, the word contract seems to be as binding as the word commitment is to an 18 year old boy

    Conference Realignment

    The way GT was/is managing this process over the years is very similar to the way I went about getting prom dates for the most part. Look, Tech, take it from me....this is not the most effective process. You end up with a killer purple tuxedo for $35 from the Men's Wearhouse (his guarantee is...

    Conference Realignment

    I think we are long on "book smarts" and short on "street smarts" and "common sense". It's a closed loop system such that we keep hiring the same type of people to run both the school and the AA.

    Conference Realignment

    Remember the "gold old days" when one could focus on the team, the upcoming season and the excitement of seeing new players on Grant Field. This politics, TV and money stuff has superceded that imo. It's hard to worry about next year's record when you are unsure if your program is going to be...

    2022 Transfer Portal

    Darn...if I knew failing calculus meant playing pro ball, I woulda tried harder my freshman year. I tried to flunk out as a rat but my efforts to do so were marginal at best. ;)

    GT just won a couple National Championships, did you know?

    here is the classic GT fan and GTAA conundrum....did we win these and our AA do a miserable job of getting the word out to the handful of us Tech fans? Or did we win these natties precisely because they do NOT fall under the jurisdiction of our AA? ;)

    Breakout Season?

    Some small degree of truth here. Does anyone remember the team ranked #4 in the final 2018 poll? I didn't think so.

    Introduce yourself

    I will say this....we don't want UT football discussed anywhere but in the college and pro sports forum. Unless they beat Uga and then we turn the other cheek. Are you old enough to remember when UT beat the dwags regularly and were competitive with Bama also? ;)

    What music are you listening to?

    When I lived out in va. Highlands (back when most people didn't want to live there) i became friends with a guy from Emory. We decided at the last minute to go see George at the Electric Ballroom. I didn't know much about him as he was relatively unkown. Vince was from Delaware so he, of course...

    Is anyone else in the same, or similar, boat?

    When I lived near Atlanta I had season tickets in the upper west stands. We had the same seats for a number of years before moving far enough away that I had to drop my tix.. AS a season ticket holder, in time I came to know most of the people who sat around me. So, when my wife and/or kids...

    Discussion of Uga QB's along with a smattering of Clemson talk

    I think it was a defensive lapse (2nd and 27) that cost them a title. Not their QB play that year.

    Question about cell phone etiquette

    I don't like talking on the phone. When I am at work, I usually leave my phone in my truck. It makes it easier for me to keep up with it and I am not distracted by the too numerous sales calls. My wife would know how to get ahold of me in the event of an emergency. When I get home I put it on my...

    The US Open and father's day

    Zalatoris had a nice tourney and Rory was top 5. Since I was the winner (and sole entrant) of the inaugral GT Swarm US Open pick 'em contest I get to drag the entire $25,000 pot that is typically split amongst the top 3 finishers. (Thanks to the suits here for providing the financial backing...

    Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    I personally would hold off on this opinion now given that we have a new OC. Hopefully Collins will emulate Coach Johnson to a degree and turn things over to Long 100% and stick to what he has been known for in the past. I have to think we will see improvements in game planning and adjustments...

    The US Open and father's day

    one of the best weekends of the year (imo). Smoked ribs and fixins, golf tomorrow with my posse, gin and tonic in copious amounts, new underwear and socks. I've already picked out a new sprinkler and hose for myself. Does life get any better than this? Who do you like? Rory is a good (safe)...

    2022 MLB Draft

    Interesting post as always, as are most here in this forum. I am intrigued with the (appears to me) high incidence of TJ surgeries you mention. At one time, this was a rare and usually career ending procedure. Would you expect to see a similar occurrence rate on other staffs? Why is the rate...

    Deion Sanders On The Flats?

    IMO, Caldwell falls into the "sexy hire" category now. that is why he is mentioned so frequently here. He could probably skip the "go to GT for 4 years" stage. Until we resolve our financial issues I believe we will be limited to the Gaileys and Johnsons (older guys who are estabilished in their...

    What music are you listening to?

    Have you checked out "Live from Daryl's House" on Youtube?? It is fantastic. Here's a sample (this cover may be better than the original which is saying a lot):
