Dummy calls aren't (at least from a cryptography standpoint) that useful. Without going super nerdy here, there's a reason Midshipmen with undergraduate courses on codebreaking were regularly able to pick signals. It's tough to balance a code that's complex enough not to be broken but still...

This is a pretty interesting point to me. Structurally, all the schools and AA's are not for profits, and hypothetically should have leadership that guides a mission of educating people on the one hand or having a good time and eliciting alumni engagement on the other. On the other hand, you...

You do not. It's based on the Great Seal of the State of Georgia. I've always figured that the seal represented a building, with the constitution up top representing the powerful, efficient coffered dome resting on three branches of government. I'm no ARCH or CE, but in Roman architecture...

It'd be huge amounts of fun, and I'm willing to drive to Auburn for a game. Not a bad town and not a bad drive. Now, when we face off against Bama, on the other hand, Imma bring hate and a hazmat suit.

Eh, I think you have to understand the unique position of GT in history. In terms of brand equity, GT has Coke levels of history and buy-in. Erasure of the past is exactly why people get upset about uniforms. If UGA comes out with a modified red, or Florida puts gator leather patterns on...

They don't seem to like us very much, though. Something to do with fish, I hear.

A world without GT is a world of which I do not want to be a part. Think about it. No GT means no concentration of former Confederates determined to industrialize the South. No business community arises from that with a driven focus on economic growth. Atlanta stays a small crossroads town...

Clearly, it's a legal lateral if the flux through the ball from a field originating at the quarterback is decreasing at a greater rate than flux through the ball from a field originating at the receiver. Alternately, it's a legal lateral if both players and the ball are moving forward wrt the...

^^^ My favorite latin: Assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit. Continuous practice given to one thing has often bested great skill and talent. Cicero Come find me at the IEEE table. We have awesome swag. Come to think of it, make sure ya'll hit the IEEE table at the...

Congratulations! I'll never forget the day I got my letter. Will you be coming to one of the FASET sessions?

Hey ya'll, like my forums name suggests, I'm one of the leaders of the IEEE student branch at Tech, and we're hurting for social activities. Simultaneously, there's an unfortunate perception imported from the outside world that we here in ECE and CoC are 'nerds' (not in the GT specific way) and...

Gotta put things in context Boomer. The year before, they beat Tech baseball 22-0 in a most unsportsmanlike way with (maybe) minor league ringers. Heisman was the coach of both teams. While turning the other cheek is the Christian thing to do, it's pretty different to run up the score...

This, right here, is why this board is so much better than every other cluster out there. Talking about our opinions is why we're here. Pretending our opinions are Recieved Truth Facts ends up in people talking past each other, contributing and learning nothing. Even if you are actually...

Eh... If CFB coaches, AD's and school administrations are going to act like GM executives in the 80's, well, they get what they deserve.

^^^ hah! Small note: The way GT teaches Econ in undergrad is fairly different from most schools. Many schools teach models and theory in undergrad and kind of use 'cookbook' style learn this formula for optimization problems and econometrics. Then, when you get to grad school, they actually...

When we picked up Paul Johnson he was (and to me still is) one of the best if not the best tactical minds in football. Our chances of doing as well again are mighty slim. Beyond that, the year of coaches tenure is a pretty weak predictor of how we fare against u(sic)GA. That makes about as...

The attendance thing is a good point, and one rarely made. That said, our expectations are not huge in that department. Wealthy donors are also over hyped in my opinion. Tech's donor pipeline has never been tied up in football like some schools, and aa high value donations are comparatively...

I... what? Stealing the H? Why would it matter what the sign you didn't steal reads? Sometimes I feel like I don't understand some people's thinking here but I really can't fathom where you're coming from. In other news, stealing the little t's wasn't a tradition, it was a protest...

Tech NRE right there. And come to think of it, not a bad metaphor for our head coaching problem. Edit: Oh wait, better explain: Our head coaches have been somewhere between decent and very good, but are hindered by factors outside the control of their office. However, people who are dumb...

^^^ Thanks dude. I'll play around with it in some statistics packages that the Institute lets us fool with. Backcasting is the (informal, I think) term in econometrics for arbitrarily changing your model to fit the trend. It's frowned on because it produces picture perfect results for the...
