  1. Obscure Vocabulary Words

    ooh, so until you're FULL of crap
  2. Sinclair (Bally Sports) Facing Bankruptcy.

    To me, the only way this seems like it could go “well” for ACC schools is if it’s the harbinger of the college sports tv money bubble popping and the other conferences whose deals expire sooner get way less than they were hoping in the next round. But even that’s less “good” for us and more just...
  3. General News about Key and his Staff

    Ideation is a very trendy word over the last decade in the creative/consumer product space, in my experience. Now spreading to athletic program branding, I guess.
  4. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    I don’t think every league has an anti trust exemption, but what they have and the NCAA does not is a contract with the athletes, collectively bargained with the players unions. This goes both ways, with salary minimums not just caps and other benefits. And there have been competing leagues at...
  5. NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    What would the non-athlete version be? Lose your scholarship for taking an internship? Does the school have the right to prevent an adult student from entering in an otherwise legal contract like that?
  6. What is the best single-game performance you've seen out of a Tech player?

    The player I remember most from that game was a punt - the punter (Arndt?) made a TD-saving tackle chasing down a return at one point. I think he later boomed one practically all the way down the field to ice the game.
  7. 2023 ACC News & Discussion

    Miami can't have a >60% ACC winning percentage. I don't believe it. My math from here https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/miami-fl/index.html says they're at 56% in the ACC. (GT is at 54% in the same time frame even after Collins.) So this must be supposed to be all-time program...
  8. TCU vs u(sic)ga

    TCU hasn't been known for stopping anyone this year but that UGA D compared to the Michigan one is STARK.
  9. General News about Key and his Staff

    Very big fan of this systematic approach and building towards strength in multiple areas instead of hoping for a single home run hire (whether HC or coordinator) to be the key.
  10. General News about Key and his Staff

    “Director of Speed” just makes me think of the movie…
  11. Portal Watch 2022-23

    The athletes accept those restrictions in exchange for other things like minimum salaries and so on. Some leagues are more player friendly than others (fully guaranteed contracts, for instance), it all comes down to what their union and the league bargain for. Unions are much more similar to the...

    VPNs are an arms race of channel and content owners pestering streaming companies to keep their “suspected VPN IP address” lists up to date and VPN vendors trying to work around those. Hit or miss, but the more endpoint options your VPN has available to pick, the better you’ll generally do...
  13. Who all walked on Sr. Day?

    Teachers get very little respect in a lot of ways beyond just pay, so no surprise that the more other higher paying options you have, the less long you stick around. Sure, you know the pay going in, but that’s different from living with it especially if your old buddies from college are getting...

    Maybe Tech needs to emphasize stats more in its curriculum so that folks would know how to dig up numbers to distinguish “what areas are particularly dangerous compared to [specific other places]” from “is there more crime than a few years ago” and a few specific incidents and anecdotes… what...
  15. Who all walked on Sr. Day?

    You need calculus to invent it. You don’t need it to understand relatively basic things that would help a lot of people make much better decisions around things that involve randomness. And that’s a big big pool of things. Everything from investing to driving to … football ! The status quo...
  16. Who all walked on Sr. Day?

    I would much rather teach prob/stat early in HS before bringing forward calculus. Much more universally applicable.
  17. Should New OC Faulkner work for uga in the CFP?

    Lots of talk about this being better for UGA than if he’d fully split already but the reverse is true too, ya? “Ok, you can announce that I’m the new OC, but I won’t hit campus or recruit for you until the playoffs are done” seems strictly worse for the GT program. Just as easy to frame this in...
  18. Fanbase Size

    I wouldn’t have been in position to hire those folks myself. And in software we just don’t have that many of the former to get takes from coworkers about… The field has grown fast, so the younger cohorts dwarf the older ones. Especially since there was a big “don’t study that!!!” panic around...
  19. 404 and ATL signage and logos

    If you aren’t scared, and think perception is a potential problem for GT more than reality is, why are you trying to convince us that the perception is reality with all your links? You aren’t saying “I think Atlanta has a negative crime perception that could be a marketing negative.” You’re...
  20. Fanbase Size

    Whether or not failing out two thirds of people is good or not seems like it would have to be measured by whether or not those people could have learned the material if the school had better instruction or support. Hard to say, obviously, but my take on todays higher test scores and grades and...
