    Defense is now totally optional.

    Corners, LBs, and rush ends are less athletic? Maybe I'm misreading.

    Defense is now totally optional.

    Don't forget being knocked on your arse doesn't count as a tackle if your arse just happens to land on the defender. This insanity has both helped and hurt us this year. And pick plays are basically ignored, especially near the goal line, plus WR push offs are as common as rain.

    Lord, please let us be "Dabo clownish" Saturday.

    What would you most like to see tomorrow night (other than a win)?

    Less penalties, less turnovers, and less cushion by DBs. More runs into the gut by Mason (if healthy) and more plays that get Gibbs in space. Less overall pressure and dependence on Sims. If we can't execute PATS/FGs at this stage, we are in deep trouble far beyond extra points and field goals.

    GT vs FSU Uniform Reveal

    Rarely, although they looked pretty damned good in Orlando.

    GT vs FSU Uniform Reveal

    You mean when we were nationally prominent? Which teams in the sec/ACC in the 60s/70s/80s/90s/2000s would most anybody not recognize without helmet decals? Tradition is a meaningful word. I get trying to appeal to teenage recruits, but most consistent powerhouses' recruiting doesn't seem to...

    Starting QB speculation

    Could JT pass? Yep. I'm not so sure he wouldn't start vs the 4 guys we are now debating. And the 4 guys we are talking about imo are plenty good. It's clear this offense needs an all purpose QB, which JT definitely was. Of course since he played in CPJ's option, the minions will hold it against him.

    Starting QB speculation

    How many P-5 offers to play QB did JT have?

    Time to use this title. Pressley Harvin :(

    Related, maybe, the campus is experiencing quite a number of positives now.

    What music are you listening to?

    Beach Music from the 60s of course, along with anything by Sam Cooke, Roy Orbinson, Isley Bros., and Jackie Wilson! I'd pay big bucks to go to a late 60s/early 70s frat party with a great live band. There's a reason so many commercials now feature oldies.

    Did Anyone Catch This??? College entry requirements for the coming cycle

    MJ, me thinks the grade inflation issue goes back decadesss. Yet another reason for combining gpas and testing scores, for a more complete and fair measure.

    Did Anyone Catch This??? College entry requirements for the coming cycle

    orientalnc, the thread itself is political in nature, as are many threads, which is difficult today to avoid. Agree though on the edge, but the SAT/ACT will always be somewhat political and never just football related. Heck, even our playing or not playing is somewhat political. One doesn't have...

    Did Anyone Catch This??? College entry requirements for the coming cycle

    If this becomes permanent, which it was spreading before Covid, it will simply be one more example of dumbing down education that began in the 60s in the name of political correctness. We just can't force the normal distribution curve to be a straight vertical line....no matter how badly a...

    Swarm Book Club

    Sorry if a repeat, but anything by James Rollins is superb. For this particular time, The Seventh Plague is a good one. His fact from fiction section at the end of his books is excellent. Otherwise, Wilbur Smith is simply one of the best novelists in the world.

    Univ System of GA putting GA schools (and GT) at disadvantage

    Most of my exams at Tech were timed, but I get your point. Prob is that grades at one HS don't translate into grades at another HS, plus I believe I saw a long time ago, where SAT scores didn't change dramatically, even without time constraints.

    Univ System of GA putting GA schools (and GT) at disadvantage

    uga's lower scores and gpa's are the egg, and them beating us is the chicken. No egg, no chicken (assuming one believes the egg was first!) However there is armeck's post above.

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    Oh my, not the thoroughly thrashed "flu" comparison again.

    Yeah, that's why I included both sides of the aisle, but I get your point.

    Oops, make that debated instead of doubted.

    Coronavirus Thread

    Completely my worthless opinion, but it sure seems as if a lot of folks are questioning the accuracy of data (yeah it's often wrong in ref to Covid) and are ignoring the overwhelming fact that it's correct directionally. Geesh, you'd think somebody stepped on a MAGA cap or smelled Karmala's hair...
