So I guess that means Jack doesn't fit in at this section: Nominees must meet the following criteria to allow a nomination to be submitted to the committee: a. Nominee must have received a bachelor's degree from Georgia Tech. b. Nominee must have accomplished ONE of the following ... i. Earned...

Btw, I only just read this thread and so clicked on Rod's tweet. I actually could not find the thread of back and forth from Rod so do not know the full story of the exchange. If he had anything particularly interesting to say please share. As an aside, I really like Rod. He does a great job...

This may be the only issue I have ever seen that Carvell gets such a bee in his bonnet about and be so black and white (red and black?) about. His high horse moral grandstanding on it is very strange to me. As I recall he certainly doesn't take to counselling recruits parents over things like...

As a graduate he is now eligible to have his number retired. Do you think there is any chance he has that happen one day? Kind of as the representative of the Final 4 team?

I have seen him smile a number of time for photos. Like most people his demeanor is context specific.

I strongly disagree on Wes. I think he loved and still loves Tech and his heart was in it and he was a homer. It really becomes clear to me when I have heard him call football or bball games of Tech after he left. In these games he is pretty terrible. He is so incredibly dispassionate that I...

Tech had clear chances to put FSU away? I didn't see that.

I think Richt takes the high road on transfers (actually UGA does this overall I believe so may not simply be his policy) because it is expedient for him to do so. He needs the open door out policy to create the kind of turnover necessary to compete with the more "typical" factories as far as...

A vocal element of this fanbase thinks they should get to choose offensive scheme as well. Fans definitely get to complain about wins and losses, as overall record surely decides firings and extensions. I am not so impressed by fans wanting to make schematic and other coaching decisions...

Quality depth. Quality redshirts last couple years means quality competition. Systematic buy-in and belief working closely with two team Captains, one being a redshirt-sophomore newly starting signal-caller. A second designated coach to assist the OL development. Being collectively smarter than...

Tech is well-positioned going forward as well by this offense. In a playoff scenario the challenge for Tech would be the first game given that the time off element is similar to the (apparent) challenge for CPJ of bowl games. However, a playoff format overall with its quick turnaround between...

I am sure he partly has in mind how terrible Bama looked against GSU a few years ago. As well as how many points they gave up to Auburn.

I am not thrilled with this match-up. A good portion of my lack of enthusiasm, however, is because it is one of the SEC schools from Mississippi. I will always be amused when I think of how Dodd refused to schedule them as he saw no benefit in travelling all that way to play in their (at the...

I didn't know Allen was going the engineering route! Here is his bio page: http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/marcus_allen_802559.html There is a lot of great info here. Honor roll 6th-12th grade while starring in two sports. MLK Emerging Leader Award. Deans list at Tech Fall...

That is extremely unlikely. He went to a place that is incapable of getting his academic "right" enough to transfer back to Tech. His choice of JUCO basically cut him off from Tech for good. I totally wish him well in all his future collegiate endeavors and life! He really did want to try...

Robert Carter's transfer was also shady as hell to begin with. I see no imperative for Tech coaches to willingly participate in such shenanigans. A policy which says, "ok, you can transfer to anyone that is not already scheduled to be playing us" is eminently reasonable and fair enough...

Remember though the insight CPJ has often given us into how the Coaches poll works. He flat refused to participate for years because of its inherent flaws he has pointed out a number of times. Was it O'Leary who just had his secretary fill it out for him and send it in? CPJ is finally...

Ok, I didn't mean to be taken to protest hating Dowdle. I can't stand the guy either. I was just confused that it seems a couple of comments suggested I could have been wrong in that I thought he was clearly affiliated with UGA. I mean it when I say I am confused. :) I wasn't sure why...

First on Carvell, he is not making a point. This is clearly just a thoughtless line tagged on to increase clicks. No big deal imo. Second, no he has no point anyway. Look at what Richt does over there at UGA. He tries to take somewhat of a higher road than most SEC and factory head coaches...

I am a bit confused. Hasn't Dowdle worked for UGA for years or decades now? Just like Randy Waters has for Tech? They came from local sports news broadcasting, and still do work in that capacity somewhat, but both have also clearly been associated with and worked for the broadcast of the...
