Maybe times have changed, but back in the days of the placement center and "plant trips," the big bucks being offered to engineering majors was a constant topic of conversation on campus. As a lowly IM, I have a hard time sympathizing with anyone who complains about how expensive it is to buy...

First, the current perception of Tech is a bit like a bad credit score. It's going to take a few years for that Chapter 11 bankruptcy to disappear. Second, I disagree with a few statements. Minor stuff, really. Regarding Ole Miss, they beat us...but not until late. We were only down seven in...

Yeah, IIRC, the Wreck Club was in charge of flash cards, and they had priority seating near the 50 so it was a big deal. They were a couple folks short one game, so I moved over one section to help out. Kinda fun. The band and the flash cards were in the section now known as CL2. FWIW, back...

Deion Sanders responds to Dan Lanning’s pregame speech: “You better get me right now. This is the worst we gonna be.” Uh...no, coach...it's not about you. It's about the program. It's about the kids. Remember?

I'm still at six. Looking wistfully at 7 and nervously at 5.

Yeah...I want every five-star athlete in America to dream of playing in the ACC...to be on TV...to play professionally one day. Like it used to be in basketball when Dean Smith, Terry Holland, Lefty Driesell, Coach K and Bobby Cremins dominated the hardwoods. A rising tide raises ALL the boats.

It might have been Tropical Storm Ophelia, but I think that wind noise I heard last night was the sound of Tech Nation breathing out a collective sigh of relief. We needed that one.

Since this thread is about conference realignment, I decided to post here instead of creating a new thread. I have posted on more than one occasion about the Promotion | Relegation model used in English football. It seems I'm not alone in my opinion about this system. Once ESPN, NBC Sports and...

One other thought. Consider two sports legends - Deion Sanders and Cal Ripken. IMO, one is a cultural icon and marketing brand; the other is a hero and role model. Am I wrong?

I compare the way it IS versus the way it WAS and the way it OUGHT to be. That's not terribly pragmatic, but my compass points toward ideals.

^This. The thread really isn't about whether Deion would have come here if offered nor is it about whether we could even afford him. It's about whether we would really want our program to become Deion-centric instead of Tech-centric. I say no.

FIFY.

After TFG was thankfully (mercifully) relieved of his command, there was a LOT of discussion about who should take the helm of the Yellow Jackets. One popular choice was Deion Sanders who is currently the talk of the college football world. Nonetheless, I think we made the better choice with...

Or Nebraska's. Or Nebraska's.

I never played the game, so this is a serious question. Let me set it up first. In basketball, if you can take your man, the team knows it and gets you the ball. Conversely, if your man can take you, then the you and your teammates have to adjust. What about football? After 2 or 3 series have...

Since the issue now is money (and not the actual games), I wonder if this will change in the future. I also wonder how schools who are not part of the big boy league will feel about having no opportunity for promotion. Sunderland 'Til I Die.

Not to pick at nits, but scientists have found that Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth at a rate of 3.8 cm per year.

This is interesting history that I didn't know. Thanks.

For Tech fans, our in-state rivalry with UGA is easily the most important...but what is our second most important rivalry? The ACC power brokers seem to think that Tech fans should be emotionally invested in a rivalry with Clemson (due to proximity and a couple of big wins?), but is that really...
