Nah, couldn't do it. Higher academic standards have brought in a new kind of student to U(sic)gA and this whole fantasy thing has brought an agnosticism to team identity at all levels of football. These new kind of students aren't comfortable with that school's traditional position in the...

I'm pretty sure that fans of GT and that other school in the state legislature would pass a law requiring a GT U(sic)gA game were it ever dropped.

I'm not sure I get where you're coming from. I mean, there are certainly unions that are strongly socialist, and socialism and trade unions are historically strongly linked, but at least in the United States the government (especially the federal government) did not consistently side with...

It's not that strange to see aspects of school/athlete bargaining other than compensation as important. In fact, the issues actually raised by these organizations have nothing to do with compensation (even if they do ultimately lead in that direction.) There are lots and lots of contracts and...

^^^^ I actually strongly agree. There's a time for 'surprise, ************- it's a pass' but that's not every play. More time for the pass could do a lot of good.

Hey ya'll- Not that arguments about semantics are ever very interesting, but this stuff is gibberish for me and, I suspect, many readers who lack context for any of these one sentence warrantless claims. If you're going to argue about what is/isn't called [thing] why don't you explain it for...

This is all kinds of wrong. Kennesaw State is not a community college. Getting through undergrad does not require being smart. This is an important point for how these athletes are getting screwed, so let's go back again: Getting through undergrad does not require being smart. It takes time...

I only stop doing math long enough to cheer the White and Gold. And I try to slip as much math in there as possible. Also, my edit window expired, and I realized I meant to say (10-SUM(-loss x (1/opponent win %)))/10

Boomer raises an important point that 'but Duke/AllBarn is DIFFERENT' misses completely. Football teams are extremely complex systems whose performance is not linearly predicted by the sum of its inputs. Next year has a good chance of being better than individual improvements predict. For...

I'd like to see objectively calculable standards used. While I think it'd be great to see a double octafinal bracket played, let's be a little more serious (oh noes, a long post season!). I'd break to quarterfinals, with the 6 AQ conference champions in berths. The remaining two places are...

The physical mismatch thing is just fundamentally true. What's neat is that our scheme allows us to seek effective players in recruits that other schools don't value as highly. That's a strong advantage given the reality of Georgia Tech. In fact, I'd say that as time has gone on we've had to...

I think my favorite thing about the spread option is that it pushes the opponents into making strategic decisions and creates an enormous complexity of strategies on several levels. I see several subgames being played within the offense game: The option/alignment mismatch. This subgame is...

... routine reality incredulously improbable. Sorry about double post, phone having trouble with edit.

I don't usually like to post, but this one really gets me. You're fundamentally misunderstanding twitter and modern journalism. Dude gets a lead, and immediately fears getting scooped because if he takes time to verify, someone less scrupulous can just tweet it. His juicy credit evaporates in...

Folks, this is so obvious. GT beats U (sic) g A seven times in seven years. Tech makes a triumphant return to the SEC and plays the championship against Bama. At halftime seven trumpets sound and Bobby Dodd shall descend from heaven and drag Bear from hell and defeat his many minions...

I'm Dorrier, EE and Econ, and I'll get out in 2015. My dad got a BEE from Tech and I was four years old the last time the Jackets won a national title. I believe in the Institute, the Shaft, and making everyone pass Calculus. I believe that more is required of the integrity and the work ethic...
