    Introduce yourself

    Great to have you on board, sideways. All these years and I never really knew Sideways was hit by a car; I just thought he had distemper. Live and learn. Whatever, Sideways made up for it by attending classes. I love your handle and Tech remembrances. Yep, Dodd (a.k.a. Ole Syrup Mouth...

    Georgia Tech Affiliation

    ACC, because it generally combines good athletes with good academics (just a few exceptions); hence, student athletes. The SEC is an academic joke. The BIG10 cannot even count past ten. Independent? We tried that one already.

    Exciting times just around the corner!

    I agree. Much as been said about what our offense takes away from the table, but not enough about what our offense brings to the table. Points. Lots of points on the scoreboard for us good guys.

    What is your current opinion of CPJ?

    Just fwiw, this is an absolute truth. ^ Tech ain't for wussies.

    What is your current opinion of CPJ?

    I was somewhat surprised to see that I find myself in an overwhelming majority who want to see CPJ succeed at Tech. :) We've had our disappointments of late, but I guess I'm became too used to them over the years...dating all the way back to 1957 when we kind of fell off the win express we had...

    If you could.... (Basketball Edition)

    Very hard to beat this team. However, I might pick Tom Hammonds above James Forrest.

    Billy Shaw

    I had the great pleasure of personally knowing Billy for a few years and always admired and respected him as a person as well as an athlete. It's great to hear he is behind CPJ; Billy doesn't pass out endorsements or compliments unless he truly means them. Please remind us of the podcast. I...

    The draft?

    Anyone who has followed college recruiting each year knows that UGA has won the recruiting wars solidly over GT insofar as numbers and athleticism are concerned. The fact that GT players have impressed the pros, however, speaks volumes about the GT program and the mindset of athletes they are...

    Custis, Hunt-Days not eligible for ’14 football season

    Thanks for this most necessary addition. My daughter graduated from Tech, so I stand doubly corrected (and doubly proud). :)

    Custis, Hunt-Days not eligible for ’14 football season

    Tech has been very rough for a long time and that's what I like most about it. Tech is not for prima donnas, no matter how bright or how athletically gifted they may be. Tech is for people who want to work, who like to work, and who can advance through work. Back in the day (the 1950s) we were...

    Custis, Hunt-Days not eligible for ’14 football season

    Crap! 'When I picked Custis as breakout player of the year, this wasn't the kind of "breakout" I had in mind.

    ACC Golf C'ship

    Tech owns the ACC in golf (note, that is a four-letter word). 15 ACC Championships; 5 under Puggy and 10 under Bruce. Schniederjans finished first and Albertson finished tied for second. Schniederjans became the first Yellow Jacket ever to win five tournaments in one school year. Pretty...

    Commissiong suspended

    And, IIRC, he did not graduate. But that was as a "student" at Tennessee (Fulmer town). Back then any good old boy like Forrest Gump was welcome in the SEC if he had special athletic skills. Oh, wait...did I say back "then"? That coach, btw, grew up and went on to fame and fortune (like Forrest...

    JT and Byerly Style

    I like this kid's style.

    JT and Byerly Style

    JT's asset is his speed, but he's got to use it to be effective. 'nuff with the dancing, already. 'nuff said.

    What Would Byerly Do?

    That's great to hear, and it's something Lothridge and Nesbitt had in common (another was consistently winning, but without looking particularly flashy).

    Introduce yourself

    Welcome, Milwaukee. Great resume, btw, and congratulations on your upcoming marriage. :cool:

    My breakout player this year

    Another vote for Custis here. :cigar:
