    Anyone watch the GT Road Trip segment on ACCN?

    He left the studio show because the additional responsibilities of the Falcons announcing job combined with the ACC game announcing was just too time consuming to do a radio show on top of it. People forget that the game announcers typically arrive a couple days before the game to do interviews...

    When I replay most of our game winning shots in recent years they were 2 point shots not 3 pointers. Sure perhaps it was 3 point shots that closed the gap to where a midrange jumper could win the game, but nonetheless when it came to winning the game we either took it to the hole or we made a...

    Poor choice of words. But it is interesting when you consider the considerable talent that has come through Tech on the offensive side that the so many of the players that are climbing the ranks to the major leagues seem to be pitchers of late. To be sure with the likes of players like Bart...

    Former QB Joshua Nesbitt

    What is interesting is if it wasn't for CPJ's offense JFN probably never plays QB at any school. If I remember correctly Tech was one of the only schools that recruited him as a QB. Most wanted him at other positions. And, at the risk of Stinger 78's wrath, same goes for JT5. Alabama had him...

    Funny how all these highlights recently are of pitchers!

    To begin with Nait's season stats were already shown to be better than those of Cadeau. The only head to head comparison I showed was to further support the fact that Nait deserved to be ranked ahead of Cadeau. I never said Cadeau wasn't a good player. Just the opposite, he is a good player but...

    And the one game that they played head to head George went for 16 points including 8-10 from the line while Cadeau only had 5 points including 1 free throw. Then you had George hitting the game winning basket while Cadeau watched from the bench after fouling out. Finally, George out rebounded...

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    I don't think anyone will disagree with the fact our pitching needs to improve. Despite some of the Taylor haters on here it felt like. to the naked eye, that our pitching did show some improvement. I know the ERA was not anywhere near where we want it to be but we did show some improvement in...

    Zeke left for a promotion at Kent State not because of some imagined infighting in the coaching staff as you claim.

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    If we look at our own recent history we have tended to play our weakest defensive outfielder in right. Last year it was Zmarzlak. The previous couple of seasons it was Stephen Reid. And a couple of years before that it was Baron Radcliff. So based on our field configuration, which is the only...

    I would think Brosius would play LF in your scenrio. Usually if you are trying to "fit" a player in the outfield they play right. Especially in our stadium. If you look at our past outfields that is where we have usually played our non traditional outfielders.

    Faulkner Raise

    It makes me wonder how Johnson would have done if he had been given the resources and money we currently have for the football program. No matter what you think of him as a coach, you have to admit he won an amazing amount of games with the talent level and resources he had to work with. Now you...

    As is Amos Willingham who played with the Nationals last year.

    Portal Update

    I personally believe that most of the portal activity is being driven by the fact that the roster size has been greatly reduced per NCAA guidelines this coming season. In such a scenario, good coach, who cares about his players, will give each of them his assessment of their chances of making...

    Portal Update

    Completely agree with you. Hall did Deck a favor by putting him on the staff and allowing him to learn for a year so he could find opportunities for a paying position like Missouri State. This is one of the reasons former players love him. But saying he quit better fits some people's agendas. I...

    You are the one that started all this by saying a player was promised something and it wasn't followed through. Now you are saying they aren't lies. Make up your mind.

    Portal Update

    I agree with you. I just don't like people claiming a coach said something to a player or lied to someone without specifics being applied to those statements. We all know how the internet can be used to fit someone's agenda. In the past people were held to a standard where they had to verify...

    It's too not to and I never watch the trash on CNN. You say you won't put a player's name or a parent to your claims but you have no problem disparaging our head coach with your claims. How is that any different? So I will choose to trash your comments just like you choose to trash our coach...

    Using that logic would mean every time a batter grounded out and a runner moved up a base it would be a sacrifice. Obviously that is not the case. There are times when a batter will intentionally ground out to the right side in order to move a runner from second to third but that's not a...

    Well there has to be an RBI otherwise it is not a sacrifice fly. You don't get a sacrifice fly for moving a runner to second or third on a fly ball.
