  1. Thoughts on Syracuse

    Well that is what happens when you change your name. Was Orangemen but dropped the men so now they are a Citrus.
  2. Game 3 GT vs Syracuse Uniforms

    I would guess with the VMI home game at 3:30 next week, they have a lot of incentive to wear white to help with the heat. Not sure if all white or a combo like they are wearing at Syracuse.
  3. ND/MBS Tickets

    It is frustrating to be ranked in the 2000s and get seats in the back corner of the endzone. For games outside of Bobby Dodd and not in the Season Ticket package (such as hopefully a bowl game), I will never buy through Georgia Tech again.
  4. Injuries

    It will be interesting to see the shakeout at RB behind Haynes. Carrie looked really good but obviously it was in garbage time. Usually freshman struggle with the complexity of picking up blitzes and other surprises that defenses throw at you. I have no doubt about his running ability but the...
  5. AP Ranking

    Huge game against Syracuse this week. If we win and hold serve against VMI, Key's approach of one game at a time will be huge against Louisville. Win that game (and Syracuse) would keep us ranked for at least 4 weeks. That would be terrific.
  6. Bottom 25

    I can remember a time before when GT was on this list many times. Hopefully hopefully those days are behind us.
  7. Injuries

    I don't think so. What it does is get the casual fan more interested in games. Why do you think there is a RedZone? I promise you many of those people who bet on those games have no rooting interest in the teams other than winning some money. With all of the hype of College Football and the...
  8. On To Syracuse!

    We were a lot more vanilla against Ga. St. We blitzed considerably more against FSU. Ga. St. threw a lot of very quick passes which makes it tough to get to the QB. I think based on that we rushed the standard 4 a lot more of the time. So I think a lot of these depends on their passing...
  9. Injuries

    But again it all goes together in getting publicity. I am not condoning it but getting a following is what drives revenue. My point is the SEC and Big Ten are looking for every advantage to seperate their conferences from the others. The choice comes down to playing somewhat their game or...
  10. Injuries

    Doesn't look like this is HIPAA related unless these 3 conferences get all of the athletes to sign a HIPAA release. This is clearly about Sports Betting. Interesting that the Power 2 are both providing this info. Again from a marketing perspective and realizing the huge impact of Sports...
  11. FSU

    They might call but not sure if Prime would be listening. Obviously his QB son leaving after this season could make him more receptive to considering an option. But he has yet to win at Colorado and being in the Big 12 is not really much difference in being in the ACC. Yes, I realize it is his...
  12. FSU

    Getting individual transfers with lots of stars doesn't make a team. In the evaluation on transfer (and obviously recruits), I think it is vital for coaches to measure ability to blend into the team culture and not based signing decisions purely on raw talent. I think GT has by and large made...
  13. Game 3 Georgia Tech vs Syracuse Media

    I think he is very careful when he is asked about good or bad on his team (where things need to be improved) or what he sees in film from his opponent. Clearly as he has said before, he is not disclosing his game plan. He seems to be a little more open when people asked about individual...
  14. AP Ranking

    I agree. I don't want the rankings to be one and done. If we can beat Syracuse, you would hope we would stay ranked at least 2 weeks (assuming we can hold serve against VMI). The sledding gets a lot more difficult after that. We play #1 UGA, #5 Notre Dame, #12 Miami, #22 Louisville and #24 NC...
  15. FSU

    BOB has a solid success as a coach. Yes at Penn State for 2 years, they were average. But it was in the context of being right after Paterno and dealing with major sanctions against the program. In his 6 complete seasons with the Houston Texans, 5 were winning seasons. I think he will be one...
  16. AP Ranking

    So looking at these projections, Top 10 SEC 4, Big 10 4, Notre Dame, Miami (ACC). Looking at the entire 25 projections SEC 9, Big 10 6, Big 12 6 (including 3 of Top 13), ACC 3 (1 of Top 22), Notre Dame. No surprise on SEC and Big Ten but I am surprised by how many more Big 12 teams are...
  17. 2024 non-GT games thread

    I agree and wish the first rankings would come up when the playoff rankings come out in October. But fan excitement of preseason polls is why they will never change. It helps sell magazines, Social Media sites, etc.
  18. 2024 non-GT games thread

    In the ACC I think you are right. Much as a hate to admit it, UGA QB is very good. Haven't seen enough of the other SEC QBs to rate them running up scores against weak opponents. With all of the transfer QBs, it is really hard to rate until you are a few weeks into the season.
  19. Georgia State Post Game thread

    I am ambivalent about dropping the UGA series. Yes a big part of that is losing so consistently. But the other aspect is I think it would help us in recruiting the State of Georgia if we didn't lose to the mutts 80-90% of the time. I know Key is hellbent on fixing this and obviously that would...
  20. AP Ranking

    If we are ranked, it will be in the 21-25 range. A strong FSU showing tonight will definitely help. If we can beat Syracuse and hold serve against VMI, it could be 2 ranked teams at Louisville
