    Still is. Students have to maintain a 3.0 GPA to keep the Hope. FWIW, the amount of money you receive from the Hope is less than it used to be as well. It originally paid for everything (tuition, housing, etc) according to my former business partner who never paid a dime to go to Southern...

    A few notes from practice Tuesday

    Just thinking of it still makes me smile. It's also one more reason why I wish practices were still open because I miss times like that. My son was about 8 at the time, I would guess. To this day, he still refuses to wear red.

    Doesn't surprise me at all. All but one of our players who are from the state of Georgia receive the Hope, unless the numbers have changed since I last heard them. But if they're on the 25 man squad, they're getting a portion of the 11.7 athletic scholarships as well. Of the ones not from the...

    I know and you're right, he was saying that. I was just saying that if we do it in baseball, why not consider doing it in football, too?

    Not just that one. We get 11.7 baseball scholarships annually. Players receive more some years, less some years, and none some years....purely based on contribution. The minimum they can receive is 1/4 of a scholarship (if they get any) and NOONE gets a full one, although most of the team is...

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    Tenuta barked a lot but Nix was younger and in much better shape. I would have put my money on nix in that fight.

    Horsecrap. GT weeds kids out of baseball every year.

    He did. Went back to his home town and, as far as I know, never transferred to another school.

    A few notes from practice Tuesday

    Absolutely true. I remember that day well. My youngest son got his autograph that day on a little stuffed Buzz doll. He has about 30 signatures on that thing he got at various practices, including Demaryius Thomas' autograph. Funny story. My son was a big fan of James Butler and walked over...

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    Honestly, I don't know. When my buddy told me about Robbins, he said that it was "partly the issue with the major and partly something else". He didn't expound and I didn't ask.

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    CPJ confirmed today that Akins and Robbins are still in school at the moment and will both leave in good academic standing, so it won't hurt the school's APR. So they were definitely not flunking out as many have stated. I haven't heard anything about Akins and his decision but the person who...

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    Correct. He got into it with Nix. The bad thing was that it was in front of the players and there was still a bowl game left to play.

    Well the division in the locker room in 2007 was actually primarily the coaches and most of that was on Tenuta. When your DC walks into the locker room after the ACCCG and YELLS in front of the players at the OC WTTE of "If your damn offense could score, we would have won that game. My defense...

    ESPN list of 5 make or break coaches for 2014 (CPJ mentioned)

    Whoah there, big fella! Talk about putting words in someone else's mouth. Go back and read all my posts in this thread. In one post, I very clearly stated that I didn't think the offense was the primary problem with our record over the past few years. And that I thought the defense had...

    ESPN list of 5 make or break coaches for 2014 (CPJ mentioned)

    You're obviously right and I am wrong. We absolutely KICKED *** in that bowl game offensively against Ole Miss. </sarcasm> Truth is, we absolutely sucked offensively in that game. And in the bowl game versus Air Force. And in quite a few other games. No matter how many times you suggest...

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    He wasn't flunking out. He wasn't making the Dean's List but he was struggling to keep up academically. He leaves in good academic standing, from what I've heard.

    Kevin Robbins has left the team

    He wanted to major in Criminal Justice and GT doesn't have it. But it's disappointing because he was going to start the spring as #1 on the depth chart at SDE.

    It's about that time of year again

    I agree with that. FWIW, I try my best to be a practictioner of "Praise in public, scold in private". I have always told my players that I will never get onto them for an error of execution. If a player has a rocket shot go between his legs, I'm not going to fuss at him for missing the ball...

    I'm excited about Custis. The problem that I foresee is when we play Virginia Tech, Miami, Clemson, and UGA, they will likely utilize the same strategy they've been using on us. That is, they'll always assign the interior guy to take the dive and stop the B-back. If we're running the TO on...

    It's about that time of year again

    Like I said, Alabama will have issues like this too because every program is going to have issues when there are that many diverse personalities in play. But the difference is that there isn't a perceived problem of it happening over and over again like there is at UGA.
