I am bumping my own old thread just so I can say here that I appreciate the comments of gratitude directed at me in the threads I am posting for each of the team's seniors. Y'all are welcome! But I also don't want to fill up those threads with posts thanking me and my acknowledgements. I...

But beat the best when and where? At home or on the road? On a short week of rest/practice or after a bye? During midterms or finals week? At noon or Thursday (or Monday) night? These do factor into the eventual outcomes of games. It is impossible to determine how big a factor they are and...

He really had a lot of clutch plays, didn't he? Some things I have noticed so far in doing these threads: 1) The impact of redshirt Seniors on this team's success. CPJ always said that line about being better in a 5th year than as a true freshman and you can really see the wisdom in it as a...

Part of a legal settlement where the school and family still care most about whitewashing a legacy. However, the whitewashing attempt is fascinating because it continues to exhibit the exact problem with the man's legacy to begin with; namely, that winning football games is not only most...

Great pic @Lexjacket! DJ also clearly puts the effort into film study. Players come to Tech and through hard work and effort (and coaching) they turn themselves into NFL players or prospects. Being at Bama may add hype and attention but the key issue will always be the players personal effort...

According to Suguira Tech tied the NCAA record this year for third down conversion percentage. So how do we get better? Next year the team sets a new NCAA record. (I am channeling Paul Johnson here since there is always a way to do better, right? :))

Made ESPN's ACC all-bowl team: "His 171 yards on the ground led all ACC runners during bowl season to cap off an extraordinary second half of the year for Days. He scored three times on the ground versus Mississippi State, as the Bulldogs never stood a chance against Georgia Tech’s dominant...

But think about this . . . None of the Tech OL made first-team all ACC while the official ACC media named (refresh my memory please) 4 or 5 (?) of the FSU OL to the first team. Also, it would be lazier (arguably) to simply sing the praises of All-American Shaq Mason. I am actually happy for...

Here are a few highlighting plays he made. Great interception against Syracuse (and reaction shot of Ted Roof): An interesting video posted to focus only on his play in the Georgia Southern game: His Pick-6 against Tulane: One of the crazier plays we ever saw: And his scoop and score...

First post of videos I found online of Quayshawn focuses on him as a public representative for his team and Institute. Even from his sophomore season he was ready to give interviews and speak publicly about the team (this is not an easy skill to develop): Here is a pre-season interview...

Some pics of Captain Quayshawn Nealy. He was all smiles at Tech: Except when he was all business: This is arguably his best photo . . . and yet you can hardly see any of him: But without that photo, would we have this one?: Team Captain and Tech Graduate Quayshawn Nealy:

Senior Appreciation: http://4te.ch/seniors2014 Mr. Nealy of Lakeland Florida was rated as a 3* outside linebacker when Coach Brian Jean-Mary recruited him to Tech from Lakeland HS. Coming out of HS Nealy was named a member of the Florida 2010 Varsity Top 100 and earned a number of Florida...

A few videos showing Synjyn at his best. Here is one of his Tech class projects where we get to see his skills as an actor as well. The kid has a ton of personality: Early interview with Wes Durham for some perspective on his career: Nostrasynjyn: TD against FSU: Stayin' Inbounds...

Be sure to also visit the page DCS made on Synjyn as there are a lot of good memories shared there as well. Feel free to repeat your recollections of Synjyn and post favorite pics and videos here as well. Also, here are a couple great articles on him: ESPN's Matt Fortuna on his parents as his...

Some pics of Synjyn. Showing the sincerity of his summer commitment to Tech in HS: On NSD with his family at Hillgrove High School: Going out a winner:

Senior Appreciation: http://4te.ch/seniors2014 Mr. Days of Powder Springs, GA was rated a 3* Athlete when Brian Bohannon recruited him out of Hillgrove HS. Synjyn chose GT over a handful of other offers such as: Indiana, Oklahoma State and Eeastern Michigan. As a Senior in HS he did crack the...

I hope the Tech recruiting staff does play up this facet of the program, I would think they do actually. I imagine it as useful for the recruiters to keep it in mind as a way to really sell Tech to both an "education-first" recruit or "education-first" parents but more importantly it could...

As far as the refs go the controversy is not whether anyone could see if JT made a TD or how far forward he went but they could easily see that he went as far forward as he could and then was getting pushed and dragged back 3-4 yards but still had the ball when this is occurring. Hence, you...

I kind of follow you but can you share more about your complaint about so-called practice players and how Roderick Rook-Chungong being involved in a fiasco? When one is dealing with players who have not seen much game action I have trouble coming up with how coaches can decide who gets what...

@dtm1997 thanks for the anecdote of Fitzgerald not completing at Pitt. I would be very interested to find that someone has gathered the data for a bunch of schools to compare. It just feels like Tech is a place that really calls out to its pro athletes to complete there degrees at a higher...
