    North Carolina Game Predictions

    50-28. GT defense looks good in the first half, gets beat after the half adjustments, but readjusts by the 4th quarter. D continues to grow in terms of tactical adaptation throughout the game. O has a good day for the b-backs, but we have few death marches because painful UNC personnel issues...

    Fatal shooting on GT campus?

    Hmm, that's twice now my full, rather thought out message got eaten. Maybe the internet is telling me something. To 'Cuse, What you say is wise. I don't think people are being intentionally disrespectful here. If I did, there wouldn't be much point in trying to convince people to change. I...

    hold on, draft got lost, fixing.

    BDS Attendance

    I'll put it to you this way: I'm pretty sure if we started having 5:00 AM games I'd start staying up all night or something. I am not a reasonable fan. I have a terrible time getting my wife to join me for noon games. My wife likes GT, likes being told about which players are Engineering...

    Fatal shooting on GT campus?

    You know, I really didn't want to read this thread. But somebody has to say this. I value this site because of the closeness of the community to GT. But I see an awful lot of disrespect that goes way beyond the pale going on here. Try to remember that a Computer Engineering student died, two...

    2015 Warmest Year on Record

    Maybe? Probably. I guess my point is that there ought to always be room for rebuttal. If you read that NASA is correcting temps downward, I think we all owe NASA the curiosity to seek why without letting some other source speak for them. And I mean that in general, for all things. Much...

    2015 Warmest Year on Record

    Dude, do you hear yourself? Newsbusters? Breitbart? Realclimatescience? Here's a thought: when a person starts with the premise that everyone else is lying to you and exploiting you, and only they will tell you the truth, it's usually A. A scam (or, you know, a cult. But those usually are...

    Too Early... Just Too Early

    But when the battle seems in vain our spirits never falter. We're ever one in joy or pain and our union is a lasting bond. Oh may we be united till the victory of life is won. We share in the joy that his spirited work for our union brought. We share the pain of his separation from us and...

    Oof. Damning words indeed.

    GT/Clem attendance

    Of course, the Thursday night game is once again scheduled in the middle of a test cycle. This happened every year of my undergraduate degree. My theory is that the ACC does this because the North Carolinians are eternally pissed that all the tobacco money in the world couldn't buy them the...

    Hey GT Fam

    We're ever one in joy or pain and our union is a lasting bond. Glad to be sharing joy today. And don't be afraid to reach out for that support. GT forces you to be pretty pragmatic about changing yourself (so you can pass) and so most GT alum I know are very open and supportive.

    Tech fans are awful

    Had an interesting, if not ego enhancing, conversation on this point once. A certain person demanded the offering of women's cut T's for gender equality. Which sounds fair enough, but you essentially have to buy a couple tiers of quality up for a lot more a unit. The person in charge of the...

    Our defense is awful...

    That was the biggest question I have for the D. I mean, sometimes doing the same thing over and over is effective because it seems strategically unlikely. For example, game theorists play rock-paper-scissors with programs and 'only throw rock' strategies periodically do shockingly well. But...

    Georgia Tech: This Is The Place

    I know what you're saying, but I contest the claim of those people to being Georgia. Sure, Atlanta is unique and amazing for a lot of reasons. The city was perfused with leaders in the early days who saw industry and innovation as the only path forward for the South. GT's founding was a part...

    The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    This made me think, and I think maybe it's an important realization: Lobbying the administration effectively means stepping back from labels like STEM and pressing for the specific. Your point, before and after correction, boils down to a discussion of what exactly STEM means. I'm going to...

    Could be. I do know this: he got out. That speaks to a level of character many can not claim.

    The dynamics of recruiting, a historical perspective

    I think we can break this down a bit more and shed some more light on what is possible and what we want. Here's how I see a few critical background points: 1. The determinant of a 'factory pass' program is not the major, but rather the rigorousness of the program. The problem with UNCheat was...

    The 1985 Fog Bowl -- complete game

    My goodness, listen to how much less annoying announcers used to be. Also not a fan of uniforms with more than incidental non-gold/white, but I love those pants. Can we get that color? On all the teams? Like even the swim team.
