Bingo. If you know Alabama, the fundraising machine is MASSIVE. Operations in every county and every weekend are car washes, bake sales, etc. GTAA has never shown any interest in this. And it’s particularly true now, since Tech sees itself as a global university and not just in service to...

Good article. It reminds me a lot of Tennessee and how their downfall started with pushing Fulmer out the door and the circus that last for ten years . Does it apply to Tech? Hard to say. Tech hasn't a total sports program for 30 years along with a miss-mash of AD's. Moreover, Tech has a series...

I do not like the current bowl system. The reality is that bowls exist to provide programming content. Unless, you are in a NYD bowl ... they are only for selling advertising. If at 2-8, Tech can get into the Great American Cookie Bowl or the Black&Decker Drillmaster Bowl, they should go. I’m...

I don’t disagree and to your point, Parcells described the talent advantage in the NFL as negligible. Bryant however, wrote often that more games are lost than won. For example, you cannot win without a big play because the likelihood of errors increase based on the play count. The basics...

Auburn announced today that they had a $62 million dollar deficit in the athletics dept due to COVID. If the GTAA, on a smaller total, has even remotely the same percentage change ... that is going to be very, very challenging for the future.

There will always be a team, or teams, that recruit better. It’s what you do with them. Every championship coach (Heisman, Dodd, Bryant, Parcells, Meyer) stressed avoiding turnovers and kicking. Meyer practices kickoffs by placing the kick inside the ten without going into the end zone ... he...

You can’t. I think league rules require you to field a team.

It’s all good. I’m just describing the hypocrisy of it all. No player is committed to a school as much as they are committed for one year. So it’s not really a commitment. So ... let the players do what they want. It’s fine.

Fine. No problem. Then why do we celebrate National Signing Day? That's what I mean ... all of this nonsense doesn't mean anything in Free Agent Nation.

But that's it, isn't it? Be happy with 7-5. I think you are right.

I’ve read almost every book from a winning coach. And every one stresses the kicking game. Parcells said it best.

I’m referring to NIL. Thanks.

A what? I said NIL ... what the hell is an NLI?

Did I say I judge his ability to coach based on his press conferences? No. I said he was vague. Do I support GT? I have for 40 years. Well into six figures. We can all get on a high horse and talk about this or that, I'm just sharing my experiences with what I've seen across multiple...

I'm totally fine with your point of view. Let's take money out of it and students can go wherever they want whenever they want. My employer doesn't require me to stay ... but ... I have signed contracts that did. So which is it? Is there a commitment to play for four years or isn't there? I...

It is what it is. I'm fine with students transferring at will. I'm also fine with not paying for it by giving grants. If they believe there is a bigger payday out there, let them find it on their dime.

I do. They are all trying to monetize their NIL rights. Bigger programs or ... more playing time in urban programs. That's the new game. Notice how winning championships isn't part of the New Era.

Coaches and regular students don't receive grants. It is what it is. But it's destroying college sports. One of the big advantages of pro sports is that players play for a team for 4, 8, 12 years. There is almost no loyalty in college sports these days regardless of whether you are a player, a...

This just reinforces my belief that athletes and coaches should be allowed to transfer 24 hours a day to any program. Why get a grant or a contract if you can so easily move on? Free agent nation. Good for James, but the system is increasingly broken.

I get the "This is the greatest sports transformation in the history of the planet." .... the Gladiators moving from being eaten by tigers to being eaten by lions. Peach baskets. The forward pass. And ... Tech football moving away from the TO. Volumes will be written. Statues erected. Holidays...
