    In honor of Paul Johnson being at the game tomorrow... what's your favorite memory from his time as coach?

    2008 vs FSU. My first game in person for several years, wherein I came to know that the Flexbone could be a big play offense, not an old-fashioned 3 yards and a cloud of dust scheme.

    Boston College Post Game Thread

    Silly me, I thought ‘D’ was short for defense. It really means Despair.

    Gofundme to hire a new DJ

    I feel the same way about our local minor league baseball ‘game experience’ (AA Texas League, btw). The music is so damn loud you can’t have a normal conversation between innings. I wonder if there’s some oddball market research that has stadium operators cranking up the decibel level in their...

    Thacker out at DC, now Safeties coach

    One question about this move: what does Key do if the defense looks even worse this week?

    On to Miami

    Absent several Miami turnovers, I think we are in for a long, difficult day. These are still the times which try Yellowjacket souls.

    Can we talk about Haynes King last night? What are yall's thoughts about him, our offense going forward?

    The o-line is problematic, not King. It’s a good thing he’s quick on his feet, because he’s not getting a lot of pass protection.

    On-Campus Salute to Paul Johnson Set for Oct. 28

    An honor well deserved! I hope his immediate successor watches ( on TV; don’t want him on campus) so he can see what a real football coach looks like.

    Game one Uniforms vs Louisville

    Gold hat, white jersey, gold pants. Period. There can be only one!

    Haynes King starting vs. UL

    One thing in Zach’s favor: if he’s running the offense, we can call them the PyroMainiacs.

    Favorite season opener ever? There's options to choose from!

    Home opener 1971. My first college football game ever, and my first home game as a freshman. We sat on wooden bleachers on the track which then surrounded the field. "Rats on the field!". GT beats a ranked Michigan State team 10-0.

    Maxie Baughan

    Remember that old cliche, “They don’t make ‘em like that any more”? Sometimes cliches speak truth. I hate to see him go. He (and his engineer’s cap) were a welcome site on campus.

    ACC Pre-Season Poll

    Excellent bulletin board material. To quote CPJ, "Now go out there, and get us some RESPECT!"

    Alright mannnn what's your best memory of Georgia Tech football?

    Got a threebee on this: 1. First game as a freshman, 1971 vs Michigan State. My first college football game, period. A savage Tech defense wins it for us. 2. Homecoming 1976. First game attended after I got out. We run the Wishbone right down Notre Dame's throat. Lovely. 3. GT-FSU 2008...

    Post from former Tech beat writer

    CBK's interviews and pressers already had me all in on him personally. The OP gives us more hope. The schedule is demanding, so I'll try to leaven hope with patience this season. CBK says toughness is his watchword - that's what to look for from this team IMO. You might be outmanned, but you...

    Football, Basketball and Baseball all may miss post-season in same year

    The biggest problem with 33’s OP: HE’S RIGHT. Our three most prominent men’s sports are hurting. But listening to CBK and seeing how promptly JBatt moved to address the hoops situation, not to mention the credentials of his hoops HC hire, make me think the turnaround is underway on two of the...

    General News about Key and his Staff

    Yes, we’ll see. I think we’ll see some good things happening - not all at once, but they’ll happen.

    General News about Key and his Staff

    Using a term is one thing. Having the smarts and guts to implement a successful process is quite another.

    General News about Key and his Staff

    Absolutely. I like Key more every time I hear him, and his assistants are damn impressive, too. They all understand a successful outcome is the result of a process, and the emphasis on toughness is key to that process (pun intended!). There will be bumps in the road, but we are gonna surprise...

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    The man was so bad in so many important ways. A micromanager, a poor organizer, slipshod at preparation - in Texas, we’d call him all hat and no cattle. He took cheap shots at his predecessor early on, and he’s taken cheap shots at the student body now that he’s gone. What kind of man blames a...

    I Know Im Beating a Dead Horse About TFG…

    TFG throwing shade at us says more about him than it ever could about us. I suspect future potential employers will take note of the conduct - and they should. I wish TFG success in his new career in municipal sanitation, retail fast food service, or late night infomercial pitchman. Anyone who...
