    AJC give bad GT media

    I would hate to read Ken's coverage if I didn't think he presented the good and the bad, equally and fairly. He does, and he does a great job. We're fortunate – in this day and age of dying print journalism – to have a beat writer who is enthusiastic about his beat and covers it diligently...

    AJC give bad GT media

    It's not just GT that has trouble covering TE's – it's everyone in all of football. A good tight end combines size, mobility and soft hands, and plays in a position where he could be blocking or popping out for a reception on any play. The best way to defend TE's is to play against slow or...

    Wow – great stat and great recognition for JT5. Well deserved.

    Duke Postgame

    Strongly disagree. CPJ is one of the better clock managers, IMHO. I hated to see JT's numbers take a hit on those backwards scrambles, but they were the best way to eat time off the clock. I often wonder why we don't do that more – or do it even more extremely: JT could scramble out there for...

    GT (-8.5) vs. Duke

    Man, you're killing me. I've got an eight year old, and for eight years I've been meaning to start a 529 fund. But the tax rules were so confusing, and there were so many options, etc. etc. So here we are at age eight and I haven't started saving yet. Nor for my six year old daughter's...

    Explaining Points per Drive vs Points Per Game

    I like per possession stats as much as the next guy... but they can mislead just as any stat can, and people often talk about this particular stat in a very misleading way. Just because we scored 4 TD on 8 possessions, and the same day in another game Louisville scored 8 TD in 16 possessions...

    A year ago today

    Brings a tear to my eye. First home game I missed since my honeymoon many years before.

    Georgia Southern Postgame

    Subtract the big numbers and then figure out the average? Huh? Not like that play was a fluke or something. Let's take out a few of the zero gainers and see how his average does. Or we could just use the average average, like everyone else does. And the way our offense works, if the D...

    Wow...ACC moving Football Championship Game out of Charlotte

    Good, now that its in Orlando I'll never attend, and I can stop reserving that weekend for possible road-tripping. Man, I hate the ACC.

    Tech grad Todd Stansbury to be named new AD

    Uh, no. Contract provisions that force employees to pay their former employers if they take a job elsewhere are generally considered illegal restraints akin to "indentured servitude" and unenforceable regardless what the contract says. The relevant factors are generally the ones identified in...

    GT/Clem attendance

    Right in front of the president's box, on the fifty. Be there tonight with some Tenn fans who I'm trying to win over to the white and gold side

    Tech grad Todd Stansbury to be named new AD

    I'd be curious if we have any employment lawyers on the board who can comment on this. Generally speaking you can't force an employee to pay you a sum of money if he leaves your employment to work elsewhere. There are some instances of that, depending on the type of loss you claim his...

    NCAA Top 25 is a joke

    If folks like you and me would stop paying attention to pre-season and early season polls, the media would stop creating them. They're just responding to our desire to think and talk about which teams are better than which other teams.

    Never as good or as bad as it seems... and I love this GT team

    While there have been a lot of changes in college football since Dodd's days... by and large they have favored the 'little guy.' If you don't think that's true, then you aren't paying attention to the FCS teams beating FBS teams, or the surge in long-irrelevant programs (like Oregon and TCU and...

    Al Groh Color Analyst

    I watched the game last night on ESPN3 (was at the game on Saturday), and have to agree with the posters who thought Groh did a great job. He knows way more about coaching than 99% of the color guys on TV. I also appreciated his memory of Grant Field under Dodd as a "cathedral of college...

    Never as good or as bad as it seems... and I love this GT team

    Yes, it is true Alabama doesn't "get" to upset anyone... but I think you are seriously underestimating the many other pleasures that come from being a fan of a superpower... like winning national championships, crushing rivals, and enjoying the adulation of media and fans around the country. I...

    GT (-7.5) vs. Vandy

    Huh? We're expected to win by more than a possession.

    NBA All Star, Jimmy Butler Rocks Demaryius Thomas Jersey

    I think Thomas got the clothes from his cousin, right? Do I remember that correctly?
