Sankey has to deny any sort of "recruitment" of ACC schools in his public statements, otherwise, he is inviting tortious interference lawsuits from the ACC. What we don't know is if certain schools have reached out to him. This guy made a similar comment in the context of Greff Swaim's tweets.

This photo, which was obtained by googling Georgia Tech football team 1950s, shows the 1950 "formal" team photo - and clearly they are wearing dark, presumably navy, jerseys. Seems very odd to have been forced to wear those (maybe their white ones were in the laundry?). I wasn't around then...

I was just about to post similar thoughts, but you beat me to it.

The highlighted part of your statement is what I was thinking when I was comparing our offensive performance against elite defenses as it related to "Could we have scored more points than FSU when they had a weak offense." Who knows, but I think we would have had a shot. Setting aside the...

We're not the only ones having issues with EA's choice of colors and such. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ea-apologizes-and-promises-to-fix-stanford-logo-mistake/ar-BB1qatcn?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=667e1efefe844cff82243bea5b11f45e&ei=22

I don't have the game so I'm not familiar with its mechanics, but I assume from your post that each team's offense and defense has a separate rating. Our offense was 4th in the ACC last year by OFEI, a little behind Louisville but ahead of teams like Miami, Virginia Tech, and well ahead of...

Agree that trying to diminish our performance against the 11th-ranked defense is a weak argument. We were still in that game until the last few minutes.

Isn't there still a carriage fee argument in there somewhere? I get that streaming/eyeballs are the future, but a recently linked article indicated that carriage fees still generate 10x the revenue of streaming for ESPN. If the BIG got into Virginia and NC, wouldn't that be additive for Fox...

You could ask the same question as to why the SEC added Arkansas.

All valid points. Here's another speculative question - had we played the Gasparilla Bowl as a rematch against Louisville rather than UCF, how might we have fared? In any case, to think were that close to making it to the ACC Championship game, even if once there we failed to overcome FSU's...

I don't think NCAA MBB has as many urgent reasons for a new governance structure as does P4 football. They have some, and may get a new structure, but that's not what seems to be getting the attention lately. Separate governance just for football has been proposed for a number of years, going...

I'm not questioning your conclusion, but I would appreciate a link to the data. Apologies if you've posted it previously.

It's been said that in order to go undefeated and win a national championship, you need more than just a great team - you also need a little luck.

That's quite a leap from excusing blue clothing to an indictment of the entire fan base's attitude. There are two truisms on GT boards that are apparent if you've frequented them long enough. One, threads on uniforms and colors get attention way out of proportion to actually important things...

True, but here are a few counters to your point. By no means am I saying we would surely have won the championship. Had we scored on the drives that ended in missed field goals in our first game, our OFEI would have improved slightly. Either way, it's probably a wash in terms of who had the...

Yes. I don't hold out hope that we can ever return to the 1950s when GT was the hottest ticket in town. But aside from our own alums, Atlantans are the most accessible target for expanding our fanbase. It's not uncommon even for transplants who already have a favorite team to adopt the local...

It’s the offseason, so it’s fun to speculate. I was considering how the outcome of a game often hinges on just a handful of key plays. But what about the outcome of a season? Here’s a “What if” scenario for our very first game last year: Against Louisville, instead of missing on both of his...

That was my thinking as well. Thus the Atlanta connection, not the entire state. I think there are a lot of non-Atlantan Georgians who are not only default uga fans, but view GT as elitist. That's very difficult to overcome.

I don't see Key as one who would request a ton of special admits either, but should he go that route, at least his administration appears to have his back for a change. He's made it very clear that he wants to do whatever it takes to beat the team to the east.
