    End of Half Clock Management

    I just don't understand why teams don't have an audible play that is layered down&out tree where you run up to the line, call the audible fast, snap it and look, then spike it if no one is wide open. It couldn't take more than a couple seconds more to do that than just spike it.

    Week 3 Media #GTvsCUSE

    Hey, is that a roller-coaster they installed on their stadium? Cool.

    Bottom 25 (9/22/20) (Syracuse slides down the ladder)

    I think in retirement I might make a bit of a hobby out of creating a web site with pretty graphics, and then fill it with a bunch of rubbish sports stuff that is randomly generated. It would hilarious to see that stuff quoted like it had any meaning at all. And besides, with sites like that how...

    Bottom 25 (9/22/20) (Syracuse slides down the ladder)

    Like all of these things, this has zero meaning and is simply a money grab by someone who couldn't get a real job so makes up stuff and calls it 'journalism' as if that word makes poor logic acceptable.

    Sugiura: Thanks to driver, Wreck can ramble before Tech games

    I like it! But I must say I never would have guessed that skipping would be cool for football players! The times they are a-changing!

    ACC Expansion

    Hence my comment about the nephew who stocks shelves at a local hardware company...And he was relatively smart with his $1MM signing bonus and salary. It was MLB and he played in the bigs for three years as a pitcher (relief specialist) before his second TJ. He gave up a full ride at UGA, so...

    Red Zone Offense

    The offense is undeniably better, period. It's like zeroing in a gun, first you have to hit the darn target before you can start improving the grouping. Last year we couldn't hit that target. Now we can, so it's time to work on a nice tight group. We'll get there...in this case it is very fair...

    Gibbs Named ACC Rookie of the Week

    Is there a recruiting play to be made that basically goes "Hey Mr. O-Lineman, if you want to make sure you get seen by a lot of NFL scouts come play in front of these RBs. They'll have the eye of every NFL team on them for the next three years" ? It seems like we could leverage these guys as a...

    I love what Collins is doing.

    I'm 100% behind voting day being (and becoming) a day off (and not just for athletes.) But I'm kinda hoping our athletes use mail-in ballots and stay out of the lines. I'd hate to have an outbreak because someone was in line coughing up a lung and our SAs get a positive result! Just being selfish :)

    CPJ Players Upset Not Getting Swag

    We should start a very public collection program of old swag and send it to them. :) A couple hundred worn-out T-Shirts showing up on their doorstep should send a message. Lol.

    ACC Expansion

    Well, I guess it depends on what we call 'mid-career'. For me that's about 40 years old (65-22 = 33, 33/2 = ~17, 22 + 17 =~ 40.) Maybe one or two still earning 7 figures at that point. If you look at it over the the full career, I think you'd still find GT athletes doing better on average than...

    ACC Expansion

    How about the National University of Ireland, if we are picking new schools based on enjoyable road trips. At least they have an Atlantic Coast and they are a heck of a lot better than UCF or UWV academically! :)

    ACC Expansion

    I'd take that bet. NO WAY do UGA former football players make as much mid-career as GT football players. No way...even accounting for the very few who make some money in the NFL.

    If We Were Told We Would Be 1-1 After UCF and FSU, We All Would Have Taken It

    Of course. And, despite the score, I think the UCF game was way closer than it ended up. If we keep our heads on, our chins up and our knickers knicked we'll be able to win against the frozen pumpkins and head into the Bye week in great shape.

    Gibbs Named ACC Rookie of the Week

    Yeah, and if you listen to many you could say he did it against a world-beating team! 200+ against a playoff team...pretty good :)

    Article Sizing Up The Syracuse Orange

    Yeah. I'm a FAN. I am, by definition, biased. I am intentionally biased. Could I be all analytical and try to unbiased? Sure. I think I could do it as well as any, if not better. But why would I want to do that? I get PAID to do that. This is for fun. So, no apologies from me on this. But...

    Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    I've calmed down and sobered up a lot since Saturday, so my take on it is "Wow...we did pretty well to keep them under 30 for most of the game without much of our starting DL and a ton of short fields from our Fresh/Soph skill position players on offense." I'm not panicked about our defense...

    Article GT vs UCF Postgame Thread

    I'm making my prediction against the pumpkins early...we win if we have less than 2 turnovers, lose if we have more than 3. Toss up if we have 2 or 3 turnovers. I think that's where we are right now.

    Dude was soft. If I was playing I'm SURE that my finger would have accidentally pulled that earring out. :)
