    MJ vs JeT

    I tend to look at things more simply and stick to it until the change is forced on me. Last year JeT started several games that we lost but MJ never lost a game that he started. Therefore we should begin and end the season in a dome

    2017 Spring Practice

    Brad Stewart looks like he could play linebacker. I remember last year that the line was reducing body fat. Does anyone know if that is still a focus. It would be great to get some specifics on how weight and strength has changed compared to last year.

    Lynch surgery

    Are you hearing good things about him? Hope both he and Cottrell push last year's starters.

    JT's future role

    My "he may not be SEC fast" statement was of course in jest. If the other SEC teams don't start doing better, those types of references to the SEC in general may change to "he may not be Alabama fast" which is even now more appropriate imho.

    Lynch surgery

    Sad but we already know what he can do. Hopefully we will hear great things about Cottrell or another person that can add to the A-back rotation.

    Tennessee fans already starting to talk about the 2017 GT-Tennessee game

    Totally agree. If we beat the Vols by 30, the story would be how bad they are at the beginning of the season, not how impressive we are.

    JT's future role

    I had guessed 4.45 early on as an over and under prediction for his forty. Since he is a tenth under that, he may not be SEC fast but I think he has a decent shot at the NFL.

    Mikell Lands-Davis

    That is to your credit and certainly many see it through to the end and reap the benefits. Others put higher "price tags" on starting for a team, NFL hopes etc and that is their prerogative as well. I hold Tech athletes who persevere and graduate in high esteem precisely because it is a...

    Mikell Lands-Davis

    Candidly I am surprised this doesn't happen more often at Tech. I know a number of athletes at lesser schools that decided to forego their scholarship because the demands of football combined with performing well in school wore them down over time. Another factor for many of them must be the...

    4th and forever...

    The Duke run this year was impressive but the fact that a Duke lineman was in on the tackle 40 yards downfield on that play was even more impressive to me. The run to set up the field goal against the mutts was I think the most important because of the HUGE fumbles attributed to him earlier. If...

    Best Returning RB in the ACC

    I would agree that our situation is a little bit unique in that the receivers can often be exceptionally wide open but we also don't typically provide enough time for the quarterback to look around very much. My position is simply that it often isn't as simple as we sometimes make things out to...

    Best Returning RB in the ACC

    There really are a lot of factors involved. Each play typically does have primary and secondary receivers already based on what the coaches believe should be the best progression. This can be changed as it was in the Georgia game when the same play was basically run again except with a different...

    Rank '17 opponents

    This one is correct and all others are wrong.

    What teams would you like to see on future Georgia Tech football schedules?

    Auburn and Tenn would potentially be good for recruiting since we compete with them for so many athletes. Personally I would love to see the wild cards that we have rarely if ever have played before like Ohio State, Michigan, Washington, Stanford etc. Given their history, it would be so great to...

    JT's future role

    We should start a prediction thread for his forty time. I vote 4.45

    Is This year ours in the ACC?

    Most games are tough and just a few injuries or turnovers can turn a 10-2 season to a 6-6 or worse. Many teams can beat us but I really believe we should be the team to beat in out division. Of course I am biased, have far less knowledge about other teams and of course the injuries and turnovers...

    JT's future role

    Totally agree that he will impress more in the 40 than the 100 and should break 4.5 which is very fast. I would also think that he impresses in his agility drills. Would love to see him as a big time slot receiver in the NFL.

    Is This year ours in the ACC?

    MJ is definitely working on throwing but my hope is that teams necessarily become so focused on stopping the run (midline etc) that our receivers will more often be wide open (2nd Kansas game style). I would bet that we will have fewer big /dazzling plays from the QB position but more...

    Academic All-ACC

    No, my dad's boss was a Tech grad (my dad was a Tech fan) and he would take employees, their sons and key customers to one game a year. We would take the Nancy Hanks train from Savannah to Atlanta and a bus from there to the game. It was the highlight of my year. Tech was an almost mythical...

    Academic All-ACC

    After seeing this, if my children were still young I would consider calling Mr. Braun and asking him if he and his wife would raise them for me! Obviously their family is one of excellence. Kudos to all four. The exceptional effort required by student athletes at Tech is a major reason why I...
