Yes, and the approach has been out of date since the late 90s. What I'm saying is that the disciplines themselves have become more technically oriented and the kind of mix-and-match approach Tech uses is no longer necessary. To see what I mean, look at this...

And I understand that kind of ambition. The problem with this is that there simply aren't that many kids like your daughter. There's also the problem of focus (tied to what I just said): finding a program where there's are people who have in-depth knowledge about " … novels, films, games, comic...

With Paul it was always nervous laughter and, as pointed out above, I think it might become so again. As for not laughing about TFFG, they probably knew what we were getting better than we did. No need to laugh at an opponent when you are pretty sure you will beat them. And, btw, you can see...

But how many kids are like that? Not to many, I'd guess. If Tech had a history department - it doesn't, btw - then it would be easier to find for kids who might come to Tech and become more for it. I am coming at this differently. Disciplinary specialization is the way knowledge develops...

But without the necessary departmental structure. Most of these degrees are the result of combining minor studies within existing departments in several disciplines. We used to do that at my college to create the illusion that we had a broader curriculum then we did. And that's what it is unless...

Yeah, it'd be a lift. But maybe not so much as people think. If the social science and humanities curricula had a tech focus you might could sell it as an alternative to what GSU and Ugag offer. How could this be, you might ask. Humanities courses could concentrate on empirical text analysis...

Yes, you're right. However, I invite you to compare Tech's offerings - usually minors - with these: https://shass.mit.edu/undergraduate/majors MIT is a lot like Tech; prestige STEM school in a big city, lots of other colleges around, ect.. Their offerings are much wider then Tech's are. I know...

And, btw, I disagree with the premise of the article strongly. Tech needs to recruit nationally. True, most players will still come from Georgia. But we need to recruit all over the place, even internationally. (Remember where Gotsis came from? OZ.) That's why there needs to be more money for...

Problem = nobody would recognize Tech's "liberal arts" degrees as such. The reason is that Tach doesn't have legit departments in most liberal arts and commensurate professional programs. This drives me crazy. It would be easy to expand the present faculties to have actual departments in, say...

I always used study guides, but seldom used open book tests. Study guides make sense since, you know, what you ask them to study is what you want them to know and think about. I did use open book and "use your own work" tests in my research methods class and, boy, did the kids hate those...

Another way to put that is Gretsky's Law: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." This has become my motto ever since I first read it. It should be a recruiter's first thought.

I hate to keep nitpicking, but he did and quality replacements for JT - Ratliffe (injured out of football), Campbell (injured out of football), Jordan (injured out of football). Then there was the one he never actually got to coach - Graham. And the one who he did - Oliver. It was losing the...

Well … he coached with Paul for 25 years. If Paul didn't think he understood the program, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have lasted that long. But … maybe you're right. And we'll never know because we made a mistake 4 years ago. Btw, I don't know why I keep making the same mistake with his name...

FIFY. Tech could get to 10 wins next year, but I'm holding out for 6 and a minor bowl. Better results will have to await events, but we can get there. It's a matter of work and luck.

If it was Moncken I doubt there would have been any drop-off. I just looked. For rushing here's Army's rank for the years we lost: 2019 - 3, 2020 - 5, 2021 - 2, 2022 - 2. They went to three bowl games in this time: 2019 - Armed Forces Army 70 - Houston 14, 2020 - Liberty Army 21 - WVU - 24...

Eggsackley. Moncken or, more likely, Bohannon would have taken the job and we'd have a bunch of people here complaining about how we aren't going to a New Years bowl every year and "accepting mediocrity". And, btw, given the performance of Paul's players in the pros I'm not sure what the other...

Point taken. Still, I think we already have sufficient symbols that we don't need the 404/ATL stuff. Besides, if we want to do well recruiting, we have to recruit nationwide. Restricting ourselves by "branding" like TFFG did was always a mistake. Or, at least, I thought so.

Well, if the FCS can figure this out with a much larger field, then I think the FBS can too. An 8 - 12 team scheme similar to what Red lays out above would work just fine, I think. And the bowls would fall right in; with the stakes in each game higher both in-person and tv interest would be...

Well … unless he wanted to; some coaches like building from scratch. You never know with these things. I'm hoping that we can make Riley an offer he'll have a hard time refusing.

Well, so much for that. I still hope we end up looking more like these teams on O. My one fear about Key is that he may point us to a Wisconsin style power game then a flexible option game like Kansas State. We can get the personnel for the second; don't know about the first.
