Uh-oh. The Brad Stewart thread is over there sweating bullets.

At Amazon, one of their core leadership principles is "Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit." The notion is that leaders are expected to respectfully call out and question decisions if they see a problem or disagree. It's only through challenging plans that those plans are broken down and rebuilt...

Scott Frost had a 16-31 record as HC at Nebraska. 22 of those losses were one-score games, and 12 games were by 5 or fewer points. At a certain point, the repeated pattern says something louder than the last loss.

IIRC, Jarrett Jack graduated about 10 years ago. He did so ostensibly because he promised his mom he'd come back and finish. And he did. Calvin Johnson (football, I realize it's the wrong forum) has often talked about coming back to finish his degree. I believe Demaryius Thomas was headed that...

I'll be doing this when Tech plays CU next year. Will be interesting for sure - Colorado fans are second only to the Mutts in terms of lack of class. (Yes, even Tennessee fans are classier.) I'll gladly find a way for my family to sit with other GT fans.

Lots of amazing stuff in there. Not to rehash old items, but this still blows me away: If true, hard to believe that the then-coach's job was on the hot seat, and they were still only having the team practice "lightly, two times a week". I also appreciated this bit, addressing the team on Day...

I was there, too. Between that and the NCAAT games, that year was an amazing time to be a young fan. On another note, something interesting occurred to me - With football and basketball teams now having players jockey for the lowest number, it seems to follow that the best players will have a...

In other words...

When I think of dry rub, I can only think of the jerk dry rub wings from the Bucket Shop. And all the rest of this thread is making me miss Harold’s Barbecue - right across the street from the Federal Pen. (& Brunswick stew, which I haven’t found anywhere outside Georgia!) SO. HUNGRY.

Okay, getting back to the conference realignment subject at hand…whether it’s any of you or some other Tech fan who pulled all these sources together in a timeline, it’s an interesting thing to consider. https://www.reddit.com/r/ACC/s/IAhb2GiIOT

Man, rewatching the 2014 VT game today reminded me again of my favorite player from that time period - Synjyn Days. IIRC, dude came in at QB. Then bounced to A-Back. Then to B-back, where he settled in the rotation until (IIRC) Lesley got hurt that year. He picked up and never took his foot off...

Thanks for bringing back this memory. Never gets old. :D

Most designs dictate a border. (Not saying the design you want is not a nice thing to have - just saying it's not insane we don't have it.) I'm personally just glad that someone is making gold shirts with white GT logos that are pretty solidly built.

18 year-old kids might also learn the value of the phrase, "Get it in writing."

Not according to FSU and Clemson. Somebody should probably inform the Big 10 and SEC of that.

Here you go. IMO, it’s just an all-around odd-looking shoe.Reminds me of the ugly-*** Skechers that had the giant platform rounded sole. Props to Adidas for the nice packaging, though. And I like the color scheme - wish I had gotten a pair of Ultraboosts, but a $200 pair of shoes just isn’t in...

I don't have the problem with Adidas that so many of you do - I actually like every single Tech thing I've bought made by Adidas. Scratch that - almost every single thing. Given the 50% off, last week I pulled the trigger on a pair of Alphaboosts. And having now seen them and tried them on, I...

And you falsely equated his statement that perception of a company can improve with an argument that, like Taurus, the ACC will take 60%+ market share in college football. There was no statement about anyone becoming the "market leader." As an educator, I'm sure you've called out many straw man...

Fun read. Caveat is that he only focuses on offense, and makes little to no mention of defense. And if our experience doesn't make a good point of it, UNC can also tell you how a team with a great offense and an anemic defense performs. Still, I like his perspective...
