All degree granting educational institutions are considered feminine. It is from "Alma Mater" which means "fostering mother." Traditionally a college is likewise legally considered in loco parentis which also contributes to being considered a foster parent/mother.

Tech fans travel better than probably all comparably sized schools and have always been well known for that. Saying different is BS. You probably haven't tried getting tickets to the UGA game in Athens as a Tech fan, it is not always so easy to do unless they are having a disappointing year...

Walk on schollys are always available each cycle. They have to be re-earned.

I am curious now about how Tech is doing with recruits from the central US in the last few years. I recall the QB Luallen from Indiana being a 4 star and transferring down. Now a RB from Ohio. Obviously every kid is their own individual case and I doubt any strong conclusions could be drawn...

Maybe ML Davis coming next year is a factor, however, as we saw with Custis and Autry there is not really any reason to count your running backs before they hatch, so to speak. So it would have been definitely Wilson and Leggett next year and he would have all that practice as well. But, if...

The returnees are not being given scholarship money so far as I know. I would think they are using some of that NFL money they have earned to pay their way at this point. The article just is confusing by only separating the topics by an ellipsis. I do however think that our NFL players coming...

From NewJacket404: "anything lower than that he might as well go play basketball." I loved that line, made me smile. Thanks for the review on Shamire. I was impressed with him at the scrimmage and especially loved seeing both his mom and younger brother there as well as how good he is with...

It is unreasonable to refuse the term "great" to Hamilton based on whether he made it as a NFL QB. You can't possibly think that Tech fans love Hamilton and consider him great because of what he did after leaving Tech, can you? Then why try and knock him on grounds that wholly isolate your...

Is this how you attempt to un-derail a thread? :P

Maybe because their athletes do not have to do any real coursework and UNC can maintain good APR because you can earn some degrees there for something like 25% less credit hours than at Tech. As in, they have no excuse just like any typical factory so should be picked high "just because."

Making a two-deep is earned not granted to you because you got a scholly. Odd that a Tech fan would react negatively to a walk-on making a two deep so soon after Godhigh's success, let alone Bedford's. If you find 5-6 walk-ons in a two-deep then there could be some other systemic issue like...

There is a picture in those tweets from the Tech training/medical room and you can see that Derrick Moore's famous motivational speech is quoted up on the wall. That is pretty cool!

Am I right in thinking that if a team lays back on Golden then it is still most likely a net positive for Tech as far as field position? Maybe less chance for the huge return but an increased overall average on starting position?

I remember CPJ doing the same pretty much every fall camp or even some springs as part of getting more reps for the backups to work on depth. I don't remember Nesbitt getting a lot of full contact snaps or Tevin and Vad after them except when he had very strong doubts as to who deserved to...

It will be interesting to see how teams kick to him as well as who he is back with on KO's. I hope his dynamism forces opponents to play more conservatively on special teams and yield us better field position overall even if he doesn't get to make as many returns.

Btw, I should add that I think this site is generally monitored in just such a professional and responsible fashion that takes into account the bigger picture. Eric even did so himself in a recruit's thread recently over some guy's trolling comment about a recruit looking like he would be a...

For my part I rant and rave, especially after soul-crushing losses like the VT, Miami, and UGA games last year to my brother primarily and then a couple other Tech fan friends in person or on the phone. I get it all out. I don't give a fig if it then makes me appear like I wear gold-colored...

This is a very reasonable post. People who make statements like DaBuzz have no credibility and detract from the professionalism and decorum this board strives to attain. There is a very simple reason why this board is superior to others and why maintaining a certain level of reasonable...

Also a good question given Kallon's interesting answer that their both being from a foreign and English background (native and colonial) has given them a bond.

On the corners and safeties, I had the impression more than once on a passing play that Byerly (definitely) and I believe Jordan at least once was clearly going through a check down from right to left and as I followed their progression I saw that the receivers were clearly covered right to...
