    What’s Key’s biggest asset as a HC to this point?

    Yep. And he says "Go Jackets" not as a rallying cry, or a cheer - but with conviction and resolve. As if he's dead certain great things are ahead, and don't try and argue with me. A damn fine way to end every press conversation, if you ask me.

    2023 Coaching Carousel

    Not at all unexpected. I've seen enough Chizik defenses to hope he's not on our list.

    Conference Realignment

    True. But in the NFL, they have a scoring mechanism that allows the teams to decide who plays in the playoffs based on wins on the field. And they can do that, largely because of the limited number of teams. The CFP attempted to solve that via an invitation by committee - that's expected to...

    Conference Realignment

    Exactly. And this is why the 4-team "playoff" has been a travesty from the beginning. Almost 20 years ago, I agreed with Dan Wetzel's calls for a 16-team playoff that included all the conference champions - yes, even the so-called "lesser" conferences - and a number of at-large teams. AS he put...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    I dunno. I just asked AI to “Visit gtswarm.com and give me a photo-realistic interpretation of what you see.” 😜

    50 day campaign Go support TechWayNIL

    This. Also, as far as their “rules” around pay-for-play, the NCAA is afraid to try to enforce them, because as they’ve learned recently, all it takes is one lawsuit from a factory program to upend the entire ship. I guess they figure it’s better to live in the “gray area” than have a...

    HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY FELLOW JACKETS!

    Likewise! The commute from CO is a pain, but I need to get my kids into Bobby Dodd. And I still haven’t been back to the Coliseum since it changed from Alexander to McCamish. And Ireland could be fun…

    Brand New Transfer Season NIL talk

    Recognizing I’m late to the party, but if I was in school that long without graduating, I’d think, “Damn, how did I wind up at uGA?”

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Exactly. Live look at the Swarm: (It wasn’t designed by a GT CE, but we love it just the same.)

    ACC Bowl Action

    I’m reminded of something my dad told me a long time ago: “A long time ago, bowl games were just the gravy. They didn’t count towards AP or UPI or other rankings. They were the bonus. The team rankings were settled on the field in the real season.” Now, this was a ways back, and I don’t know...

    2023 Coaching Carousel

    Agreed. He did some phenomenal stuff at Coastal Carolina with Joe Moglia. I often wondered why things here were so...crummy, but ultimately wrote them off to MoBS rather than him. My guess is I was correct to do so. Hope he does well at Buffalo.

    Potential DC for Next Year

    Okay, playing the game (because it's winter break for my family, and I don't have anything more interesting to do). As far as things go, based on the motion on our defensive roster over the past month, I'm beginning to think Sherrer isn't the guy we'll have as DC next year. 1 - We're not...

    ACC Bowl Action

    Bobby Bowden has more bowl wins since 2007 than the Hurricanes. (And agreed on the South Beach lifestyle part. That's what sells kids who think they have "swagger." They forget that you have to EARN swagger.)

    Checking in... Nope. Still not back.

    O line 💗

    That's the one! Wish I still had a copy of it. It was on my bedroom wall (which had Georgia Tech wallpaper), right next to the poster of uga lying on the ground surrounded by GT pom poms that read "Ain't no dawg like a dead dawg."

    Conference Realignment

    It’s super-unfortunate this whole thing didn’t play out in the 2024 season. Based on what I’m reading, the new uneven revenue sharing pushed by FSU and Clemson will be based on performance in postseason, revenue-generating events (I.e., bowl games). It would be poetic if FSU’s players opted out...

    Gasparilla Bowl v UCF postgame celebration bonanza extravaganza

    This. Our offense this year started to remind me of the 1990 offense. 1 - a GREAT signal caller at the helm. 2 - an increasingly dominant o-line. 3 - versatile skill players, including an RB who just loved to run over people. 4 - a mix of option and other concepts. The whole “scheme” is an...

    O line 💗

    Love this concept. And so glad our O-line has come into its own this year. The whole idea reminds me of a poster I had when I was a kid - a photo of a uGA player on the ground, with about 6 giant Georgia Tech players piled on top of him. The caption read, HUNKER DOWN …with a little help from...
