    Message from GTAA

    Yes! We are finally making the right investments to keep up. Maybe we can move up from 61st in spending to at least the middle of the pack in the next few years.

    Contract Buyouts

    Can anyone speak to the status of where the GTAA is on contract buyouts? Are we done with Gailey's? When will we be done with Hewitt and Gregory's? We really need to get clear of all the buyouts before we even have any conversation about adding more debt to the balance sheet. I think getting...

    Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    2014 UGA has got to be on the list. Maybe my all time favorite win as a GT fan. Good lists overall. I'd include losing to Duke at home in 2014 the worst losses category... but this one saturday felt worse than that one. In 2008 we lost to UVA for Homecoming in a game we should have never...

    Football Budget - Yes, it absolutely matters

    Regardless, let it sink in that DUKE spends $6 million more than GT on football. What does that say about the school's commitment to winning?

    Football Budget - Yes, it absolutely matters

    Before you complain about the state of our football program, this has to be on the table. GT is 61st out of 65 Power 5 teams in football budget. Below is how our spending compares to the rest of the ACC. When the top 4 are spending basically double or more than we are, it's no wonder we are...

    Justin Fuente gave us that one!

    I'd love to see Foster, Venables and some of the other great coordinators on our schedule get head coaching jobs :)

    3 play microcosm of our season

    I would say the 3 plays that have defined our season were the FG getting blocked at the end of regulation against UT, the tipped pass down in Miami, and the deep ball on 4th and 1 that ended the VT game. We got 1 of 3 to go our way, and won 1 of the 3 games. This team could easily be 7-2 or...

    Young QBs

    Marshall hasn't been killing it... that's for sure... but in our last 3 road games we've had to play in the rain and that's a killer for a player like TQM.

    Young QBs

    2 problems... 1) we have some major OL issues this year, we are not executing blocks near as well as we have in recent years... and 2) we have 3 losses in the rain, and each of those games could have gone very very differently if it was dry (just no way of knowing). It's harder to throw in the...

    Andrew Marshall's status for next season

    This also gets us back to having 15 scholarship lineman next year... I'd like 1 or 2 more in this class if we can find good ones... though it may be worth pursuing current juniors/rising seniors and load up in the following class. We will now have 8 junior and senior linemen next year, and...

    Andrew Marshall's status for next season

    He shouldn't need any special kind of appeal process... this is currently his 4th year on campus and he has yet to play a snap this year. So this year can count as his redshirt year and he is good to go for next year.

    Path to the Coastal

    On paper, GT is very much in the mix for the coastal race, only 1 loss out of 1st... but the path forward to actually winning the coastal is pretty crazy. First, Miami has to have 2 losses in conference, since they have the H2H tie breaker on us. In other words, if we won out in ACC play and...

    Team Character

    If Clemson's QB is out, do we have a decent shot at the upset? Or has Clemson become too big a mountain to climb right now?

    Miami Postgame

    I mean... I totally understand that there are more plays that go into determining a game's outcome... but lets be real... that tipped pass hits the ground and we win today. Davis makes the field goal at the end of regulation in the UT game and we win... OR if we execute on the 2 point...

    Miami Postgame

    Hard to blame the D for this one... that tipped pass is just blind luck... that ball hits the ground and the game is over.

    Miami Postgame

    We are 2 plays away from being 5-0. That's not an overstatement, it's exactly how it has gone down. I didn't think we could find a way to lose that would be more painful than the way the Tennesee game went, but that one was worse. We DESERVED to win today. That 4th and 10 miracle tipped...

    UNCheat

    So let me get this straight... a GT athlete receives $312 worth of clothing and the university gets a $100,000 fine and a vacated 2009 ACC championship, as well as 4 years probation. UNC has a far reaching, academic fraud scandal and gets basically nothing? Wow, well done, NCAA...

    Where is GT injury report ?

    KQ tweeted tonight that Andrew Marshall is going to miss the entire season with an injury. He never took a redshirt... is it possible we could have him back next year? With the depth situation we have on OL, I'd love for that to happen. Anyone in the know that can speak to this situation in...

    Schedule

    It's pretty crazy how difficult our remaining schedule is... #2, #5, #13 and #16 on the schedule. Plus Duke who won't be a pushover on the road. What's interesting is that I believe this team (with a healthy O line) can beat any of those teams... so the potential is there for a special...

    Path to the Coastal

    Sort of on the other side of this discussion.... but if we were to win out, with wins over Clemson, UGA, VT, Miami, etc... 10-1 with an overtime loss to a P5 opponent in week 1. If we then go on to beat Clemson a 2nd time or whoever we end up playing in ACCCG... would that put us into the playoff?
