    Todd Stansbury counting on more football wins this season... How many...

    As a moderator of this particular internet website, I take a fair amount of umbrage to this statement. I guarantee that everything posted on this site that is specifically not cited as opinion is either 100% factual or else is bull manure that some deluded but well intentioned soul believes to...

    Todd Stansbury counting on more football wins this season... How many...

    this is why there are so many millionaires in the alumni ranks... all are tightwads who have our first earned nickel and want to get information that might cost $.50 for free. Can you imagine being an AD trying to get donations from this group? ;)

    If the ACC scraps divisions...

    as a buddy of mine used to say, I've got enough money to last me the rest of my life....providing I don't live past next Tuesday. :)

    Todd Stansbury counting on more football wins this season... How many...

    I think our financial situation is due to many (and more egregious) errors on the part of TStan's predessecors (sp?). I don't think he stepped into a good situation. And, to his credit, I would imagine he was aware of the challenges before him although no one could have foreseen the NIL/portal mess.

    Jackets pickup Wyoming DL Solomon. Byrd transfer portal

    Maybe it's (for me) finally the straw that broke the camel's back. Or finally having so many paper cuts that you eventually bleed to death. I's the cumulative effect of so may changes to the structure of the game, none of which are positive. Not knowing the start time of the game until just a...

    Jackets pickup Wyoming DL Solomon. Byrd transfer portal

    I don't think anyone at all doubts that it WILL go on as you say. Capitalism prevails in the end. What many are saying is that it may have to go on without THEM. I am in that group. But I (and most of the rest in my situation) am not naive enough to think that just because I get off the merry go...

    2022 Season

    I am not going to point fingers at the guy - my GPA at Tech my first two years was the equivalant of a 99 ERA in baseball. It does take a moment for guys like me and this young man to adapt to college. If this guy has the same work ethic that I did I am confident he will get it below 50.00...

    Clemson Series

    "It takes these to sell real estate". One of the top 5 movies all time (imo).

    Anyone have a pellet grill?

    I looked at the Masterbuilt and was very intrigued. Costco started carrying them this spring. At the end of the day I ordered a grill from Grilla Grills. I had never heard of them until I started this process. They are internet direct only but they had everything I liked and needed in one place...

    Finally, a non-profit GT collective: Introducing Jackets for ATLanthropy

    I am quite sure we will see a flurry of activity on the part of the NCAA - committees will be formed, meetings scheduled, ground rules for meeting behaviors established, brainstorming activities conducted, resorts visited to pick future meeting facilities and a welcoming cocktail party and golf...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    I tend to agree with and suspect most others do as well. The next question is...do we WANT to be competitive in this era? IMO, neither the admin nor the bulk of the fanbase have the will, means or desire to do so. I include myself in amongst that group. I think navigating a new course is going...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    Ignorance is indeed bliss. Sure, we all suspected it was going on in the college football world before but we never knew to what extent . But now the charade is over. I think about it like this. I had an employee once who I found out was stealing company property. It had been going on for...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    Like most rational GT fans, my expectations have always been somewhat realistic. Like many others here, I am grabbling with the massive changes to the game and how it will impact my interest in it going forward. If I abandon ship, which is a possibilty, it will be because of the cumulative...

    Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    This is my minset now. I used to be indifferent to pro sports but always admired the NFL model. I may give up on the college game and start focusing on the NFL going forward. I have tickets to the Ole Miss game with several of my Tech buddies and very well think this may be the last game I...

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

    based on decades of prior experiences, I doubt it. Dr. Rice is the only guy who seemed to have both a avison and a plan to achieve it. The rest have been bureaucrats, administrator sand paper shufflers imo.

    Question about cell phone etiquette

    so today I was in a medical waiting room waiting for my spouse to have some minor medical procedure. (Of course) she was admitted 1-1/2 hour past her scheduled time so I spent the better part of the afternoon sitting there waiting. In the meantime, I sat there and witnessed (and was forced to...

    ESPN says we have

    I don't think they would ever drop us. Too many advantages for this game for them to drop it....an OOC opponent from the P5 where they have home field advantage every year and many years it is a chance to play backups in the second half the week before the SEC championship. Yes, we may beat them...

    Going on the Record

    Just when I thought that every post was a rehash of a point that had already been made, you posted this and restored my faith in humanity. I have a picanha on the smoker and am heading down to the bar to mix two bourbons per your suggestion. I don't carry Old Forrester so may end up with a blend...

    Cink Aces 16 at Masters on Friday!

    Gosh, I have mixed feelings about Stew...I love that he is a classy guy, a great golfer and represents our school well. But, like millions of others, can't get over him beating T. Watson at the Open. C'mon man. Seeing Tom win at the Open would have been better than Tiger winning a green jacket...
