    As shared in another post I think Braelen will do okay for you guys. Really think Chas J has it that his experience is probably the best aspect of the get. Here's his total stats while in Maroon and Gold... https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/braelen-oliver-1.html Merry Christmas to...

    Hello Augusta. Time will tell but I think Braelen will be proven to be a solid get for GT. My home board was mixed on the impact to us when announced, but now that he's declared to GT to get back to Georgia it makes more sense. He has had injuries but in the end who hasn't? You could be...

    POLL: How do you feel about Key as HFC?

    In the end schlitck, culture, or whatever the flavor of the day will only go so far. At least in the Big 10 West, our rivals pretty much agree he is a good coach but most can't stand him personally. In terms of backing it up with real world performance, Coach Fleck leaves a lot to be desired...

    POLL: How do you feel about Key as HFC?

    From afar this looks like a pretty good hiring outcome. As fans at least you got a bit of a test drive before the AD handed over the keys. As for instilling accountability on the on/off the field, this is a big item for programs like Minnesota and GT. It is a critical component of coaching...

    #POSTGAME uga 37 - GT 14

    Hello Tech! Just dropping by to say great effort and very good execution for a good chunk of the game! Tech showed up very well in front of a national audience against a very good UGA team. This bodes very well for the future. Good luck with the HC hire and going forward. Also, too bad for...

    GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck today Jackets. "The U" ain't what it used to be so hope your men can make the best of it. Looks like October weather down there compared to us up here on the frozen tundra. We'll see 33-34 degrees for our game against the Mildcats of Northwestern U. Bringing the blankets for sure...

    HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    Jumping in here after 46 pages... Has our Coach PJ Fleck shown up on any GT lists? I wouldn't think so but just wondering in case we need to be worried...:) I admit too lazy to do any scrolling or hit the search function... Good luck on the HC hire and the remaining 8 games. BillD.

    Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

    Good luck on the HC hire and especially the AD. Here's to the team rallying around the interim-HC and coordinators and salvaging something on the rest of the season. Really sorry to see this but this was not going the right direction. Just like Nebraska decisive call that was needed. Again...

    GAMEDAY!

    Today's battle call is "To Hell With Clemson!" Will be rooting for you from the Far North to make a good showing and no serious injuries on both sides. No cupcakes for Tech today...going up against the real deal. Good Luck! Billd.

    Conference Realignment

    No doubt forensic and bobongo for the 2018 match-up we came ready to play. I believe Tech did too but the trajectories for both programs were at a different point for that moment. As to whether Tech would be competitive in an even more expanded B1G this can only be answered if the experiment...

    Sheboygan's wife should be happy...Wisconsin had 4 on the list...even a punter (at #80). Congrats on your guy making his freak mark at #20. Should be fun to watch. Now I wonder if our guy Big Dan Fa'alele was on previous lists...

    Thanks 4Shot. I have Husker fans on Mrs. Billd's side of the family and they are pretty much seeking respectability on the field at this point. Small sample size aside I think you got the current jive for regular fanbase. Will be in Lincoln the first week in November to see the Gophers win...

    Conference Realignment

    Understand the logic but Nebbie is pretty much a lock in the B1G going forward unless they move to leave themselves. As an aside, they thought they would be kicking azz from the start but that has not unfolded. Coach Fleck has Frost's number pretty well. They still think Tom Osborne's glory...

    Conference Realignment

    Minnesota calls dibs on oars...RTB! As an aside this is a very informative back-and-forth and is a credit to the forum. The ACC teams are in a unique position both individually and collectively. ND's choice is relatively straightforward compared to the multi-dimensional chess facing GT and...
