    Morning Runs Started Today

    Wrong color? I hope not from tech fans. Unless he's a slightly too shiny shade of old gold, I don't think thats an issue here. Where do you encounter that crap ?

    Uniform thread

    KSU gets no love from me for eating Poly. GT was trying to build some economic growth for the long term, so leave it to the Regents to undo anything positive we accomplish. Also the stretchy distortion thing going on makes it look very odd.

    Uniform thread

    Interesting. Your brain is supposed to correct because of the obvious overexposure in the foreground. Its worth noting that while the dress is black and blue, the image is telling your monitor to emit shades of dark gold and low saturation blues (pales and greys)

    Uniform thread

    I'm not a big fan of black on unis for ideological reasons, but I could get behind something in the following circumstance: Ted Roof builds up a top 30 defense and/or a top 30 opponent points defense. I understand uniform regs now require every uni be the same (so uniform... uniforms) so the...

    Clean Old Fashioned Hate Hacker's Case Resolved

    "And thank you to the Clark County DA, for ensuring I have a job with any internet security firm run by a Yellow Jacket, and for ensuring I will never buy a drink in an Atlanta bar for the next 20 years"

    Clean Old Fashioned Hate Hacker's Case Resolved

    I would like to emphasize that this was a foolish, immature act sparked by a juvenal mindset of which I am now deeply ashamed. It seemed to me at the time that in the context of football's most intense rivalry, something like posting a message on a calendar would be seen as harmless fun, and in...

    Spring Practice Who to watch for?

    Hahaha no. I went to Pace (Academy) and the football there is painful for a lot of reasons. The team size vs school size ratio is pretty awkward. Also, they made a lot of alumni very angry by adding football. So, outside a Butker scenario where a guy is just really, really good, you wont...

    Byerly to Bback

    Also: Tractable math isn't a reason to pick a model? Better go tell Physics and Economics, among other things.

    Byerly to Bback

    What you say is true, but it assumes that the play in question meets your operational definition of a trick play. If we can snap to Byerly and SURPRISE! it's a shotgun passing down and it's no lower percentage of success than other shotgun pass plays, well, then it's not a trick play. Except...

    Had Johnson been coaching the Seahawks.....

    An interesting point you make. Seattle was strategically unprepared to exploit the last two plays' success. Belichick was playing the right game trying to egg seattle into that pass because hey, wrong player package for a goal line run. CPJ is never found in that position. Structurally, the...

    Had Johnson been coaching the Seahawks.....

    The 'let's try a throw' thing is risky to me, but defensible. What I don't get is the play. Do they not have a misdirection play that doesn't announce "NOW WE WILL THROW" and doesn't put the ball into major traffic? Look, that int was brilliant work, but throwing an inside slant makes you...

    Recruiting Expenses

    It has live nests of yellow jackets in every fifth locker? Seriously though, I'm kind of curious. What makes for a decent college level locker room?

    Want to Avoid injury football and sports?

    This is a pretty fertile area of research between ECE and BME. I'm reasonably sure that most of the research professors doing this kind of thing are ECE, but ECE and BME are pretty close as departments, and there's a lot of joint papers being submitted to IEEE EMBS on the subject. Of course...

    Niners Want CPJ?

    I think the reason CPJ's offense won't work in the NFL is the owners. It'd be just fine if you got a GM and owner that would support and implement his decisions. But this is the NFL we're talking about. And with the 49'rs, I'm feeling pretty safe that CPJ isn't interested.

    Mods please read!

    For what it's worth, Mack, you're exactly about whom I'm talking. You and I probably don't agree on a whole mess of things, but we're both Tech men and it shows. And that's pretty neat.

    Blue Game Jerseys

    Hey, at least we didn't get Oregon'd and wear a weird uniform in an irrelevant color. They're with Nike, aren't they?

    Mods please read!

    For what it's worth, I think this is by far the best community for talking about GT athletics I've found, and that includes the actual SWARM. Part of that is that I'm talking to real Tech fans, and it's really powerful to see that I have deeply held beliefs in common with men who got out in the...

    The thread that never ends...

    Bitcoin. Duh. Also, Stanford and MIT churn out unprepared, useless engineers because they have everything handed to them from the day they get accepted. Vanderbilt, however, has a one weird football rule that could give GT a championship. This one freaky uniform got Oregon into the...

    1992: The best Tech - Georgia stunt ever

    Scuttlebutt is that the legal minds working on his defense think the prosecutor is going to offer a pretty good plea deal because the same Georgia homers who couldn't take a college prank also really, really don't want a court record of just how incompetently they'd been running their IT...

    1992: The best Tech - Georgia stunt ever

    Well, his legal team is well funded, and he's got a guaranteed job with any of a dozen different GT alumni companies. Seriously, the IEEE was going to throw him a fundraiser, but his gofundme was already full. Go Tech Alumni for keeping our traditions alive!
