    Wesley Wells earns his scholarship!

    Well deserved. Always great to see a walk on earn a scholarship.

    Spring Game Postgame Thread

    21k seems about right. Lots more than last year. Maybe not double, but certainly significantly more than last year. I think there were recruits in the club level in the lower east stands. I think I heard there were 200 of them. Very fun atmosphere. I enjoyed the pass to Little Joe and the...

    Spring Game Postgame Thread

    Offense: QB: Lively arms. Nice tight spirals. Well thrown long balls. WR: Some athletic catches. OL: Dominated the DL in first half. RB: Plenty of depth and some speed. DL/LB: Will continue to be the weak link. Offense dominated the first half DB: Some nice coverage. And some busts...

    SPRING GAME ROLL CALL

    Will be interesting tomorrow. I have attended the last 3 spring games. Will be interesting to see the difference in the "vibe". This will be the first with my wife. Will be attending with my Tech roommate after going to the baseball game. Looking forward to a great white and gold Friday.

    deezenutz, that is a long trip for the spring game. Hope you get to attend some games during the regular season.

    Previous Offense and Recruiting

    I would not say these are nonsense. Why is there a police escort after the game for the referees? Just because there is a coaching change, the refs remain the same. By far the ACC has the worst officiating crews in NCAA football. And need the police escort. (Humor intended, sort of)

    One Player I Hope Coach Collins Embraces: Justin Thomas

    I have great respect for the young man. I have spoken to him twice. The first time was when my son graduated from Tech. It was December, we were leaving The Tit the same time the team was ending practice at Rose Bowl. We were interspersed with the team and stopped walking at a crosswalk. I...

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    Is there something on CGC's twitter about a "3 stripe" black watch on players helmets?

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    I agree. I have spoken to Peterson a couple of times and left feeling like I just talked to a used car salesman.

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    Sounds like a great idea. I was around for the Black Watch. The defense won games. I think Roof contributed to a win over Ugag on a bad wheel. Was a glorious site watching Roof making play after play to end the game.

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    Yes, that is what I meant. I enjoyed the days of the black watch. Fans got into it. I recall a play where Cleve Pounds made a hit you could hear in the East Upper Deck. I would love to see Tech become know as a defensive powerhouse with or without the black watch gimmick. Hopefully with a...

    Attrition and Scholarship Limits

    I'm with stech81. Valid points on both sides of the scholarship argument. Maybe the scholarship players can chime in on what was promised by coaches and the institute. Are Tech recruits told it is a 4 year deal? What is on the contract? I assume you still sign a contract.

    Did not know that. Can you still have stickers on the helmet?

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    Please direct them to the petition crut is developing. This validates your point of the swarm wanting to providing input. And shows there has been previous input. I will only add that I know several folks have asked CGC to bring back the black watch. Personally, I would love to see that or...

    Official MBS Announcement: 5 Games over 5 Years

    Then you think there is no home field advantage?

    Official MBS Announcement: 5 Games over 5 Years

    Perhaps. But do you agree it is important to get the team experience in the stadium?

    Official MBS Announcement: 5 Games over 5 Years

    Here is a thought to follow up on what I posted. I may be jumping to a conclusion, but this would seem like an away game to the players. To improve on the team experience for the players, have in the contract that Tech gets time in MBS familiarizing the team with the stadium and...

    Official MBS Announcement: 5 Games over 5 Years

    Seems a bit low. I would say more like 3 points, but don't want to split hairs. Especially if the crowd tilts attendance percentage wise in favor of the away team. Three points would seems reasonable. I agree there is always a risk/reward. I am still on the fence with this decision. I...

    Official MBS Announcement: 5 Games over 5 Years

    Another question. Since we concede playing at MBS does not help the team win, I wounder what Las Vegas would change in the point spread to cover this change in venue?
