  1. Conference Realignment

    I have heard 1/2 of higher education. Outside of engineering and technology so much of the rest is useless it seems. Over the years I have heard many higher Ed. grads say their degrees were useless as a practical matter, even some that came from so called good business schools have said the same...
  2. Conference Realignment

    I don't dispute at all what you are saying because I don't know about that, but I have understood there is a downsizing coming in higher education and research institutions are the ones more likely to survive. Don't know how long the downsizing takes, I just understand it is coming.
  3. Conference Realignment

    Maybe you did not read the whole posting or probably I did not say it well enough is more like it, it's about the money and the big money being a Big 10 member comes through AAU joint effort research grants according to school administrators of AAU schools, seems it is much bigger than AAU...
  4. Who will Key give the nod to for DB coach?

    Anyone know the recruiting ability our new DB coach?
  5. Conference Realignment

    Is it possible that an SEC school leaves the SEC and goes to the Big 10. SEC AAU schools presently are FL, MO, TX, TX A&M and Vandy. I have thought for a while now that it was definitely a future possibility, but just heard it mentioned in a sort of passing comment by a talking head who talks to...
  6. Only off topic coversations!

    Intro for me was Sprayberry's, Newnan in the forties, think I actually like Old Hickory House the best, had my first of that during GT student days at the original on Northside Drive just north of water works, we used to go there as students on Sat AM and drink beer before games sometimes. I've...
  7. Conference Realignment

    Looks to me like SEC needs new money mkts which means expanding into places like NC and VA, maybe KC and PA. The more I look at Clemson and FSU the more it looks like Big 12 for them, I just do not think they bring what SEC/ESPN desperately need. They made a good move with the state of TX, not...
  8. 2024 ACC Football Schedule Reveal - Jan 24th, ACC Network and ESPN2

    I'm fine with this schedule also, I'm great with everything going on, new coaching hires, recruiting but one area I'm concerned about and that is we did not do more in the portal with DLs and LBs to give our new defensive coaches a little more opportunity to be successful. Maybe we can get help...
  9. Conference Realignment

    The real question I have and may end up being the answer to all of this is whether ESPN makes it or goes belly up. The Big 10 made a strategic move in going with the major networks it appears. I'm sensing that TV is headed for really big change when all the other forces ( which I'm not allowed...
  10. Today is early enrollee and transfer move-in day

    April '35, yep '53 was the return to very limited substitution, if you came out in a quarter you could not go back in until the next quarter. Made the game all about defense, kicking and field position. Dodd was good at it. He was way ahead in recruiting players for just one position on the...
  11. Today is early enrollee and transfer move-in day

    I'm guessing we're pretty close, '53-'57, born in '35
  12. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    I agree with whoever said it, only one player that has shown anything at LB, Efford. I don't know anything about Hamilton except he played some and Tatum so far not that impressive and the kid from Athens a relative unknown, seems to have some nice measurables for LB position. I'm hopeful we...
  13. Who will Key give the nod to for DB coach?

    Where do I find the interviews?
  14. Special Teams Coordinator

    The new coach at 'bama could work out but if he doesn't then they may have to hit their Saban bottom just like they had to hit their "bear" bottom. That can take some years and who knows if the rural schools are even relevant at that time. I'm one that believes there is a good chance many (not...
  15. Special Teams Coordinator

    Everyone understands we're going to have to take care of Brent no ifs ands or buts. With the massive changes going on in CFB and if GT ends up in the BIG and with the school now behind the athletics and FB program in particular, being in a top 10 media mkt, GT could easily end up being one of...
  16. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    If we take in more players from portal or HS recruits we will lose more to the portal IMO, but we will be upgrading when we do I'm pretty sure. That appears to be the game for us over the next couple years IMO. GT will be a desired place to come play for some talented players. Yes the money is...
  17. Potential DC for Next Year

    Just my opinion of Curry, really outstanding person, could recruit first couple years at a new school but was too conservative in coaching style and would lose all his recruiting momentum because of it. He always left before it showed. As we know it's all about winning and that gets most of 'em...
  18. Kelly And Russ Discuss

    I haven't been on there in several years but reading your post it seems nothing has changed because what you say is exactly what I remember.
  19. Only off topic coversations!

    Our defensive recruiting over the next few weeks, maybe several mos just got real interesting IMO. Got a feeling these guys are getting ready to put a very different looking defense on the field this fall. Exciting times on the flats!! Go Jackets!!
  20. Special Teams Coordinator

    Do you mean KO coverage team? I think of KO return team as us receiving a KO, maybe I'm wrong.
