    ACC Network Updates

    We have had comcast for a couple of decades, and I doubt I could convince my wife to cut the cable... And like stech, she runs things around here too. We are going over to another Tech alum to watch. Still not sure what plan B will be here in the ATL.

    NCAA denies waivers for Clayton, Ezzard; Sims granted immediate eligibility

    Tech needs to figure out how to scam this broken system like the other schools do. If it is Greek tragedies or something from the pc police. The athletic department needs to figure this out and fast. Get the appeals approved. Is this another one of the instances where Tech is not spending...

    New Gray Uniforms with Children's Healthcare

    I agree with whiskey. Almost 10 pages in and it seems everyone has an opinion on uniforms. Some are really passionate about it. Please don't associate someone's opinion about uniforms with CHOA and the relationship Tech has had with CHOA over the years. You can dislike the uniform but...

    Media exposure

    Tech has been second fiddle to uGA since the 70s in the AJC. Did not matter what the records were or which team was on a winning streak. As we move to digital news the same will hold true no matter how much Tech tries to court the media. I enjoy reading about all of the trouble the uGa...

    Navy installing Run and shoot offense

    Frigden's offense was fun to watch. A great offensive mind and great quarterback coach. Made his quarterbacks look good. Both Hamilton and Godsey benefited from his genius.

    Thursday Night Home Games

    I know in the past the Thursday night game gave Tech good exposure. Only game and all. And I think ESPN played up Atlanta. But being old school, college football is for Saturdays and high school ball is for Fridays. Sunday is NFL. Since Collins is the innovator, we my well see Tech playing...

    I like his coach speak of saying "it's in our DNA".

    Fall Camp Post Practice

    Thanks, that actually gives information. "Coach speak" drives me crazy. I understand it is part of the job. Like politicians, they avoid giving answers to question. It is interesting to me that all the position coaches are using the same "coach speak" during their interviews. I wonder if...

    Fall Camp Post Practice

    After listening to most of the Popovich interview, I am amazed he said nothing of consequence. Just coach speak. "working really hard" "continuing to improve" "compete" "watch film" "ask great questions" "above the line" "fun to work with" The coaches do a good job of just talking about...

    New inbound transfer candidate

    We can squabble over the details, but I am enjoying that there are quality players entering the portal and choosing Tech over other colleges. Period.

    Graham tweets that he's eligible

    Tech and football both teach life lessons. Glad Mr Graham has done what it takes. Like many have already stated, the freshman year is one of adjustments, and so proud he did the adjustments. I suspect when he graduates he will use the term "Got Out" as well.

    The Lew Effect

    Hey, I benched 225 2 times this week. Only 18 more to go. (But I'm one of the over 60s on the board and was surprised I could actually do it.) And to go further off post, I spoke with a former Tech lineman who was on the Orange Bowl team that will remain unidentified this past week, yet...

    4 games...

    With the rule changes, including horse collar, and what seems to me the randomness of officials calling targeting, I wonder how defenders are taught to tackle at the college level. I really have not thought too much about it, but my playing days were in the 70s, and different rules applied...

    And to follow up on the last post, I want to see someone to step up and be the Ted Roof and Willie "Big Play" Clay of the Black Watch.

    4 games...

    I am anxious to see how the team plays this year. Anxious to see who will step up on defense under the new coaching staff. If after a gut check the first game, the defense comes together, this could be a tough team to beat. It appears the secondary has players in the 20 mph club. (That is...

    coaching 'staff' comparisons

    How do you tell without any reference to how well any of the new coaching staff is doing? Not to disparage the OP, but how do you determine how well coaches are doing without some sort of body of work to compare. Waffle House Wednesdays are the only benchmark so far. And yes, I am being...
