    GT @ Ole Miss

    Nothing to add, except to say "Welcome." We love it when fans of opposing teams make an appearance and talk shop, and appreciate you doing so. Thanks for all the info! Likewise, hoping y'all have a tremendous season (after this week's unfortunate loss)!

    Has the cycle started to shift for the SEC?

    Or the people (like me) who say "I paid for this particular brand of sports journalism, until I realized they gave virtually no coverage to the team I cared about (which is what was promised when I signed up). Glad to see they're investing more in features and such, now that the NY Times has...

    Remaining opponent thoughts, two games in

    Agreed with all of this. I think based on what I've seen so far from our team, 6 wins will be tough to get to, but is doable. 7 wins is a big reach. 5 is probably doable, unless we have more starters injured and 2nd stringers don't step up. And I don't care how bad they look - UVA in...

    GAMEDAY!!

    Man. I hope once we play an actual opponent at least some fans and students will turn out. That's darn frustrating to see them go to the effort to put somethign together and no one take advantage of it. (Although I hear you about the $9 Chick-fil-a. Sheesh.)

    Former GT Players

    Many of you know I’m married to a Cornhusker. I had the same misgivings as many of us had when Rhule got Sims to transfer in. I was hopeful all the head case stuff might work out under a new coach. Now, two games in, I’m not sure whether to be ticked off at Matt Rhule or at the Nebraska program...

    Louisville Post Game

    Both Miami and Ole Miss seem to be looking pretty good…might be a tough road ahead the next few weeks.

    GT vs SC State ROLL CALL.

    It's on ACC Network Extra. So if your cable or streaming provider gives you access to the ACCN, you just have to login to ESPN.com, sign in with your TV provider's creds, and you'll be able to find the game. (Works in the ESPN app on Apple TV, Roku, and Smart TVs too).

    Conference Realignment

    One thing that irks me about this article (I know it's not the point, but still) - since when is North Carolina one of the ACC's "four historic football powers"? Their most recent ACC Championship was 1980. Hell, since the inception of the ACC Championship Game they've only made 1 appearance...

    GT vs SC State ROLL CALL.

    My god. All TFG had to do was win another 1.5 games per year, and he'd have hit that milestone. Sheesh.

    Tech loses DE Sylvain Yondjouen for the season

    Damn, that sucks for us - but more for him. Hope he recovers quick, and has a baller year next ear.

    NIL, Transfers, and Stratospheric Salaries. What Is the Future of GT Football and College Football in General?

    This sort of thing has been going on in baseball for a long time. The "sponsor" pays money up front to a lot of athletes, and if 1-2 of them make it big, they recoup their spend plus profit. It helps the athletes who need the cash immediately. But I can see how in retrospect it would seem like a...

    Spectrum and ESPN fail to agree

    Eh. When I moved to Youtube TV, it was $35 per month. Since then (3-4 years ago), they've been through multiple negotiations with content providers to get certain stations, and been forced to pay more to "bundle in" stations that we don't want. My monthly base Youtube TV bill is now ~$74...

    Conference Realignment

    Yep. My sister went there as well, and echoed those sentiments. It's interesting to step back and look at human dynamics here, though. If you join a conference, you're effectively part of a "team." And what happens to a team when one member starts trying to look out for themselves over everyone...

    Spectrum and ESPN fail to agree

    I just read the Stratechery article, and was coming in to post that. A lot of heady business logic, but the folks on this board should be able to enjoy following it. :cool: I think the last bit is the bit that I keep coming back to in the conference realignment thread. Sports leagues were able...

    GT VS SC STATE GAME THREAD

    ↑This. Stewart has shown he can make kicks. But even going into the first kick, the announcers pointed out that they had spoken to Brent Key, who had said Stewart was good up to 49 yards. And we put him in for a kick longer than that. And the kick was true, just didn't have the distance. So...

    What other official GTAA sports would you like to see?

    I must confess, I thought Women's Golf was already at Tech. Not sure how I missed that one.

    Can we talk about Haynes King last night? What are yall's thoughts about him, our offense going forward?

    Agreed - although I'm not sure exactly how much of it contributed to the problem in the second half, I did wonder if making HK available for interview just before the half might not be the best choice. Let him play a whole game before you put him in a position where he might feel like people are...

    Sorry, y’all. That sucked. The Nebraska-GT parallel line continues. 🙁
