    NCAAF Coaching Carousel 24-25

    Random Questions as I try to make sense of this. If all it takes to be successful as a college coach is a super bowl ring or two, why aren't more colleges hiring former NFL head coaches? Is it easier for a coach like Brent Key to add Belichick's discipline and systematic approach to the...

    Singleton to Portal

    Some things I just don't pay much attention to...like the rules of the transfer portal. I mostly wait until the music stops and then look to see who is sitting in our chairs. So, I'm genuinely clueless as to how this works: if a kid "enters the transfer portal", does that mean A) I'm not coming...

    ACC Bowl Discussion

    Being acclimated to the altitude - or not - is a thing. Aug 30 - first game of the season. Our guys are going to be struggling with hydration and cramping and likely to be out of gas late in this game. Meanwhile, CO is going to try to run our secondary out of the stadium with their pass-happy...

    It's being reported that UNC has offered Belichick. Waiting for his response, apparently.

    NCAAF Coaching Carousel 24-25

    "Imagine the kind of privileged bubble you’d have to live in to be able to convince yourself that, after firing a genial 73-year-old coach, who seemed to be losing his grasp on the rapidly changing world of college football, a surly, 72-year-old coach with little or no grasp on college football...

    ACC Bowl Discussion

    Which seems pretty smart to me. 8-9 wins every year ought to be the floor. If getting to the conference championship game and/or a bowl are the goals at the beginning of the season, then why play a tough OOC schedule? Going 6-6 against "murderer's row" won't put more butts in the stands.

    I BET WE CAN GUESS WHO THE CULPRIT WAS

    Right. Even if Alabama isn't in the playoffs, we can still make them the center of attention. More clicks, more views, more $$$.

    Belichick to UNC? As a Tech fan, I would welcome this as good news. 1. Has he ever coached a down of college football? 2. Has he ever sat in a recruit's living room and made his pitch? 3. Has he ever put a single mile on his car driving to watch a HS sophomore play a game in a South Georgia...

    Tech in Birmingham Bowl

    Maybe it's just me, but they already got Ireland this year, so I hope the players are focused more on winning the game and less on sightseeing.

    Tech in Birmingham Bowl

    Win the bell, win the bell, win the damn bell. Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, win the bell, Tech.

    Tech in Birmingham Bowl

    State fans may disagree because of the recruiting & state bragging rights, but as a Tech fan, I'd rather have Vandy in B'ham than ECU in Annapolis.

    Tech in Birmingham Bowl

    "Birmingham versus Vanderbilt. Could be worse. Don't know how, but it often is. That's just how things are." Seriously? Some of y'all need a hug, a mug or a drug. Maybe all three.

    Screw job part 2: Bowl selection

    I just received this from my buddy, Chad G. Petey: Georgia Tech fans should be happy about an invitation to the Birmingham Bowl for several reasons: 1. Prestige of the Matchup The Birmingham Bowl features strong tie-ins with the SEC and AAC conferences, meaning Georgia Tech is likely to face...

    New Contract for Key

    From your lips to God's ears. If we keep the upward trajectory, I don't care how much we pay him.

    THE WEEK IN REVIEW (with links): 1. ADJB is going to SC. 2. OCBK is going to OK. Or UGA. Or FSU. Or FIU. 3. Philo is entering the portal. 4. HK is entering the portal. 5. Josh Petty isn't signing with Tech. 6. The wreck is going to be replaced. There are only a few more days until the bowl...

    Ramblin' Wreck To Be Replaced

    The Georgia Tech Athletic Association is reportedly planning to retire its world-famous Ramblin' Wreck starting with the first home game of the 2025 season. According to an unnamed insider, the university’s beloved mascot—a vintage 1930 Ford Model A Coupe—has come under scrutiny for no longer...

    J Batt interviewing for USC(e) AD job

    This is something that I considered more than a decade or two a go - pre-NIL. Here's how I viewed it then: The best basketball coaches are expensive. So, if you want a top coach, you need a lot of money. The biggest college revenue sport is football. So, the schools with the most football...
