Never.

Reminds me when I was a kid playing CYO basketball and a major high school from a bigger city comes to town. Coach: “Kids, don’t die. Break!”

This is what it feels like to be Pearl River Community College playing Alabama for the payday.

I disagree a little. Athletics confirms kids go to class, but some just can’t handle college level. I have several in my classes that can’t write a complete sentence. The average Tech athlete is WAY above average compared to the NCAA athlete.

I knew today was going to be an *** whipping. Just two years ago, there were many comments that we would be uncompetitive for 3-4 years. Nothing new. Honestly ... we have already exceeded expectations this year by winning two conference games. I do predict that Geoff is pacing the way for the...

Only TStan and Geoff know the plan. My guess is, TStan gave Geoff 4 years to flip the roster and thats when he will hire a seasoned staff. Until then, we shopping at Dollar General.

I was thinking the same thing. Did Geoff pinch his wife’s butt?

There are five universal motivators: Achievement, Power, Ego, Social Affiliation and Fear. Fear works, but it’s very short-term. If Collins is smart, he’s doing personality evaluations on his players and trying to appeal to each one individually. Standard motivation approaches aren’t as...

Numbers in isolation are meaningless. Trends, comparisons, and expectations help calibrate what a particular number means. Recent experience with CPJ was a win rate of 0.57. Win rate with Chan was ... 0.57. Do I have an expectation that we’re going to improve recruiting? Yes. Get some (4-5...

I presented numbers describing the pool of players available. That’s being a realist. and btw ... this is exactly what TStan teferred to describing the GT football strategy. Strange how no one it seems, listens to the guy raising the money.

I'm happy if we get them. Yay! But that's not my point. In business, some managers grow profits by focusing on increasing sales, others by maintaining sales and reducing costs. Two ways to reach the same goal. Many here say Collins is going to recruit like a maniac and we're going to get 7...

BD’s lifetime win rate was 0.69. We‘re shooting for 0.67. Yes .. terribly disappointing.

No. It isn’t. The goal is to average a 0.67 win rate (8-4) which is a significant improvement over 0.57. Occasionally, we‘ll win Coastal. There’s no expectation we will win 17 natties.

Wanting to win is not the same as enabling to win.

Also true. The demographics of the Institute are very different than 30 years ago. Heck, I was at the ME school not long ago and encountered NO ONE that spoke English. Think about that when trying to get students to attend football games.

I totally agree. President Petit wanted to shut football down until Kim King went to his office and threatened to remove him. With 26,000 students, of which 400 or so, are athletes ... it is not a priority. Whereas ... at Alabama or UGA ... it very much is.

Probably. Given there's 127 teams in FBS and only 15-20 can compete at the ultra level ... yes.

Wrong. The Hill does not care about performance on the field. There is a reason why they have never integrated donor bases. There are many in the administration that would not object to eliminating sports entirely.

Congratulations on the first well thought out response to my nitpicking. Data is our friend and it is so surprising to me how many current Tech fans don't want to talk about facts. They just HOPE things work out ... Data is what we do ...

Maybe. Again, let's assume a 10 year NFL career. And We have 5-7 stars each year recruited, of which half turn out ... so 3. That means, over a ten year period, we will have more NFL players than Clemson. Does that sound reasonable to you? Because Clemson has 29.
