Techster, you're right on with this. I hear a lot of chicken little around Dook and how we're going to get creamed. I don't see that, but it's going to be hard fought. That said, I don't see a strong indication that Dook can cope with historical GT flexbone, much less the qualitatively more...

Boomer, is it you who uses the idiom 'ball rolls our way' to describe the small bits of luck that went VT's way and got them the game over the last few years? The ball rolled decidedly into VT's hands (for a touchdown) but the Yellow Jackets won despite the obstacles that happenstance and the...

whoa. Call out thread.

^^ Comedy option: Line up under center, snap through to Days at B-back, play as shotgun passing down. Use space to create time for the long bomb. I really, really want to see us exploit the fact that we've got pretty decent arms all over this offense in a way that's kinda crazy for a college...

Yeah, I really don't get people who wail and gnash their teeth about these, VPI&SU especially. Is the extent of their engagement with the program reading a headline and then turning to the funny pages? If you even watched the highlight reels of the VT games it's pretty hard to claim we've been...

Hey! Hey. Watch it. The SWARM shows up.

NOLA is an incredible city, maybe my favorite in the US. The culture of one of the oldest cities in the new world is readily apparent, but at the same time people walking down the street look each other in the eye and exchange greetings. I've never encountered so many friendly people genuinely...

This is true. Instead of complaining to the networks, let's add a clause to the contract that allows schools to require at least 10 network executives of a certain level or higher to attend a given game. Sit em in the north end zone so that the swarm, the frats, and the band can show our...

That's kind of what I assume everyone means when they talk about talent differences. Unless we're talking about Ms. Martha's Kindergarten, that's where the tell is. Football starts and stops and resets formations constantly to neutralize small talent differences. This isn't soccer, where...

My fellow Ramblin Wrecks, I have heard here across many threads and in person a great wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Wofford game that comes down to "well, we have better athletes, so we should kick their asses". Folks, I'm here to say that's exactly what we saw in that game...

In the swarm. Might try to find some of yall before the game.

From the oed: a. U.S. slang. Free from admixture, unadulterated, pure, ‘real.’ clear grit: ‘real stuff’: see quots. b. In technical or trade use. 1889 Cent. Dict., Clear, without admixture, adulteration, or dilution; as, a fabric of clear silk; clear brandy; clear tea.

I wish you'd elaborate on Bud Foster having our number. That's an opinion I hear a lot. While you and I often draw wildly different conclusions from the same tape, so to speak, I can recognize that you're not just pulling that out of ignorance based on "we lost, so". I saw a lot of really...

I have Opinions about that! Opinions that for some reason I will feel compelled to share on a GT forum in a thread about fan attendance. That is the best place to have a discussion and change minds. I have to admit I'm not doing my part. I've really wanted to go to a couple of games, but...

Bro, do you even lift? What are you talking about bro? What the hell is a deadlift?

A thought: Who among us did or will get out in four? It's a serious (if only occasionally relevant) issue because the four year graduation plans of several schools (including Electrical Engineering) are a widely derided joke. Yeah, you can get out in four- if you take 17-19 hours every...

Those guys (and ladies) bodies are built for a combination of running and climbing. I was at the Audubon Zoo in NOLA yesterday (I'm on my honeymoon) and was struck by the orangutans they have. Those monkey's arms are built like a runner's calves- incredible definition and substantial mass...

There's a student/faculty VIP (basically massive undergrad research project) to do exactly this. Creating signal coverage for wifi in a packed venue in ways that don't create massive load distribution problems is a non-trivial problem in a whole bunch of system components, all the way down to...

I don't think I've heard that one before. Why would we be interested in the big ten?

This is killing me. I'm trying to get the IEEE to have a big deal tailgate that gets students new to BDS out to the stands. Hell, if it works, there's no reason ASME and IIE and AChE couldn't do the same. Together we have thousands of GT student members. And then the games get scheduled at...
