It’s a winner. Got to build up the Georgia Tech Football brand by playing one game each year in prime time in a major sports venue in Atlanta, Georgia Tech’s hometown. Check Make lots more money each year to build and maintain the Georgia Tech Football brand. Check Get more high school...

No. We just need the money right now, to keep from going into insurmountable future debt. I’m hoping it is for the short term, rather than as a permanent thing.

Well, we all cannot consistently fill up our own home stadium for every game, so that AD Stansbury has to look for money from other sources. Stansbury is doing his job from a strictly business perspective.

At this point, it’s still very early in the season. Next up: Georgia State this Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by Northwestern on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully the hitters will start getting in a groove over this week’s games. The pitching looks a bit better, but should improve some...

I would be much more impressed with a Coach of the Year Award for him. We will see if it happens over the next several years.

It’s too early in the year to make a true determination on how our team will do for the entire season, whether we win or lose this series.

Correction: Mr. Sugiura does write “feature pieces” on Georgia Tech athletes and coaches, and they are published in the AJC.

Yep. They definitely screwed that one up and did not follow their own written guidelines. Go figure ...

I remember way back when UGA football players wore silver helmets.

YAY! Now perhaps they can just call the basketball floor painter from last year.

Great information! It corrects many of my initial assumptions. Thank you for posting it. However, I don’t think it can prevent any injuries like an ACL tear, bone fracture, dislocated shoulder, etc. while a player is non-fatigued.

I’m not a medical expert, but from the description of the device and what it monitors, I don’t think it can prevent things like lower-body injuries, nor arm injuries, shoulder injuries, bone fractures, and other such things like those.

Wow! Seems to me this type of high tech may be useful in identifying players who are having medical issues with their overall physical condition. If so, it could play a big part in ensuring that no player has any such issues. If any player has issues, that player will be further evaluated by a...

I believe that while film study is helpful, it’s focused only on those players that played on the field in games last year. So film study is helpful to a degree. I believe most of the decisions will be made from old-fashioned eyeballing of what the coaches see during spring and fall practices.

Great report by Ken Sugiura on getting Parker’s personal reasons for transferring. I wish him all the best!

Found this story that states that Rock was 5-11 and weighed 245 when he played for the Jackets. The story is a great must-read, too! Here it is: https://www.chron.com/sports/college-football/article/Herskowitz-Georgia-Tech-s-ramblin-Rock-tells-of-1974640.php
