    Fan attendance

    I can't imagine that a significant number of Tech fans serious enough to purchase season tickets would be willing to risk selling them to mutt fans just to recoup a few bucks in the event they are unable to attend. Suppose it happens but agree it doesn't make sense,

    Fan attendance

    This makes sense for several reasons: Our attendance demographic has unfortunately shifted older, and improving the stadium experience will help entice more of the older fans to attend. I understand that these geezers may not be the most vocal fans but let’s get butts in the seats, get folks...

    Postgame: UGA 31-GT 23

    This is a known issue and one that uga fans are pretty open about doing. The secondary ticket market for non-uga games makes it a cheap way for them to obtain tickets to COFH. One only needs to examine the bump in ST sales in years where we get them at home to get an idea of how much this...

    Postgame: UGA 31-GT 23

    I expect some of y’all minds are made up and this won’t change them, but I’d like to put to rest the position some posters are taking that Kirby was holding back guys to rest them for the championship when they could have contributed in Saturday’s game. Kirby was asked about this specifically...

    Postgame: UGA 31-GT 23

    Thought it would be helpful to just go ahead and list all the excuses I hear or expect to hear from our Negative Nancy posters and gaggers. That way they can just pick one from the list instead of having to say anything insightful or constructive. The only reason the score was close was because…...

    ACC Standings

    The perennial CFP contenders may have enough 4-5 star depth where a handful of transfers out don't make a material difference in team strength. If they do bring in some guys from the portal, they can be very selective. So I don't think the portal hurts them, and may help. And Blueblood + NIL...

    Stats models and rankings

    Agree, which is why I've circled back to "inconclusive". Even if we isolate P5/G5, there doesn't appear to be a very strong correlation between the variables.

    Stats models and rankings

    So, from these charts, should we conclude that if the data is properly parsed along the lines of how teams actually schedule games (G5-P5), our resume is more likely to get worse with a harder schedule?

    Just to throw in some more comments and opinions after rewatching the game on DVR… I’m not sure we would have won the game had we not been the more disciplined team. Syracuse’s penalties at critical times really made a difference. I think we may have been able to get them to jump offside a...

    The problem I have with the 4th quarter “should win” arguments is that they oversimplify the situation, overlooking the statistical variance of who possesses the ball at the beginning and end of the quarter. Teams don’t start a new 15-minute game at the beginning of the 4th quarter - one team...

    Potential DC for Next Year

    We were spoiled having a Ray Guy award winner at the punting position. Then we went from elite to arguably the worst punt team in D1 in a single season. I credit Key for recognizing the problem and taking immediate steps to remedy it. Our punter needed some coaching along with the rest of the...

    Potential DC for Next Year

    I think all of these things can be true at the same time: Our defense wasn’t great last year but was made better by some playmakers who are no longer with the team and may have masked some coaching deficiencies. Our tackling was awful at the beginning of this year but has improved. It still...

    Yeah, I don't know why folks want to play the if-only game so much. Players make great plays on both sides of the ball in virtually every game. You can't just remove one from the equation and say the outcome should have been different. I mean, you could just say "Well, if Haynes hadn't made...

    I agree that our kicking game woes were enough to change the outcome of the Louisville game. In the L'ville postgame discussion, we talked about how Stewart had been money on field goals all last year, no reason to change kickers in the first game of the season. If he had a nagging...

    I’m not responding to the poster you responded to, because they by their own admission had not posted in a while, but thought our Syracuse win would be a great time to undermine other fan’s celebration of the W and appreciation of the progress the team has made since Key took over. Some have...

    Potential DC for Next Year

    Great point that I had not considered. I know Key is always saying he is just focused on the next opponent, but securing a bowl bid has got to mean we have no need to be conservative and may as well take some (possibly crazy) risks against uga. I mean, if the odds of winning are only 3%, why...

    Agree with all your points but the last, where I disagree that our OC just woke up to the fact that King is one of our primary running weapons. King had one more run yesterday (11 vs. 10) than against Louisville, and that includes our last drive where we were determined not to pass. Correct me...

    Wasn't this our situation just last year? Granted, our Defense was a little better.
