Every day that Tech wins and UGA loses is a good day to me. I don't give a flip about the scores or opponents. It's a good day!

You are forgetting the Nazgûl though. They could have engaged in air combat, right? On majors at Tech, it is not a matter of whether there are "watered down" courses/degrees. In fact, that is a mischaracterization unless one is claiming that a specific course or degree used to be harder to...

Or there are many more options for explanations then the strict dichotomy you propose? Ferreting out the various causes within individual cases and trying to come up with a really broadly applicable "rule" like "it takes a long time to learn to play in this OL" and "it doesn't take a long...

I try to only post if I have something to say that I have not seen others cover so I am going to make what should be my one and only post on the Vad-CPJ debate. Two points: 1) I thought it was kinda disappointing when Dontae "got on that plane," when Jaybo transferred to GSU, when Luallen...

Ggee, I just want to add a point of specification. Where you get your perception is from CPJ talking about players to the media. Maybe potential recruits and parents follow the program as closely as we do as fans and so listen to all of CPJ's press conferences and postgame media sessions. If...

I am with Flea. I wouldn't read much into returning tickets as there are clearly so many influences and aspects involved here that it doesn't mean too much in any clear way. The road games I have gone to I have typically not purchased the tix through the allotment given to the Tech AA since...

Ok I laughed at the logical nitpick on Auburn but now it is getting ridiculous. Still funny but ridiculous. I do enjoy "literalism" and logical humor. :)

Spot on post. I think it is hard to really grasp just how significant and traditionally established Tech is as a world-class research Institute. If you grew up around here and went to Tech it in some sense was a "local" or "hometown" "school." If you are a longtime fan of GT athletics then...

Good post but I do not think I am being cynical when I go ahead and believe that investigative journalist who says that 100% of 5-star prospects take bribes in some form or fashion from bagmen, and 80% of 4 star prospects do the same. Clearly a kid has to be interested in Tech to begin with to...

I agree and I think we all are very excited and a bit impatient to see more of Devine. I know I have been ever since one of his camp videos from high school had him tossing rushing defenders to the ground right and left. I don't think there is a big conspiracy though. Since CPJ has said a...

But what plays is CPJ calling when the Tech defense is on the field? I think it is more a product of his letting his assistants do their jobs. What CPJ misses out on doing when the offense is on the field and he is consumed with getting play calls in is making any changes to the players sent...

Cool. I am not so much interested in being right as I meant it in real "online friendship." I have followed your posts for years on Tech sites and seriously mean it when I say you are an especially valuable voice of reason on certain sites. Knowing you would come on and argue with some idiocy...

That cheap now? It was 35$ last time I had checked so I guess it can drop closer to game day. I will see if he will swing for that. There are certain considerations that keep me from just buying the guy a ticket myself but I told him I would let him know if I found an option for him cheap...

Yeah, I choose to not give him too much grief. I figure someone who will root for Tech if he is at the game is better than an empty seat or one rooting for the opponent. Besides, this last weekend certainly humbled him both for his own team being shutout by the Irish as well as the Big overall...

I know a Michigan fan who prefers Tech for a local team (academic and engineering reputation makes him so inclined) who has an interest in going Saturday. I told him I would check to see if I can help him get a ticket for less than face value since he is interested in going but not so much on...

I don't have an issue with any of these reasons to want to see more second stringers in the game. I largely agree. I am right there as well with those who are sentimental about wanting to see Shamire or Synjyn play. I am fond of both of them from what I have seen of their demeanor, effort...

I think college football is just a different kettle of fish than many or most other head coaching gigs. It is part of why salaries are so ballooned in it. a) You have very few games. b) It is "amateur" athletics of college students who (at least at Tech) actually have to take school seriously...

Yeah it would get off topic and deserves to be a thread in the Basketball Forum probably. I was a bit young and didn't fully grasp why Cremins was being moved on out. Probably a lot of background noise impacted it such as his flirting with other jobs at the wrong time given fan sentiment. My...

Oftentimes when CPJ says "we need to do x" like "get so and so in the game more" he is obliquely referring to assistants. He said similar things about Groh's defense of "we need to simplify." This is his manner of both allowing himself to voice an opinion on how his team is playing or things...

A thought. Maybe all the concern over experienced depth and who we haven't seen in a game is a product of people's expectations to win these first two games in a lopsided fashion? If you were all set for the starters to only play through the first series of the 3rd quarter and then get to see...
