    Georgia Tech Players Doing Georgia Tech Things

    I remember going into the final exam in Digital Signal Processing with a 48 and a 52 on the only two tests given during the quarter... I don't remember my final grade, but I passed the class with a C... I also remember the EE3250 tests - usually four questions: first was relatively...

    AB or BB at QB?

    Not trolling... Just a casual observation regarding the stature of those who have played or competed at QB... More than not, their alternative has been AB, not BBB... Agreed - Tebows and Newtons are hard to come by... Guess that's what I wish we had... Heck, it's February - gotta have something...

    AB or BB at QB?

    Seems like all of CPJ's QBs have been taken from the AB mold, with the exception being JFN... Fast, shifty little QBs are fun to watch, but they get beat up to easily... It would be nice to bring in some kids who are more suited for BB than AB if they weren't already playing QB...

    Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    Regarding getting to games early, one of my enduring memories was my first GT game as a student against Alabama in 1984... I don't know that it was packed, but there were plenty of rowdy students there during warm-ups, screaming "Bama sux" to Van Halen's "Panama"... Great times...

    I hated the "All the way, Turnip" riff... :-/

    Rose Bowl

    And regarding the upcoming game, I just said it's heard to pick a side in a fight between Hitler and Stalin - though for one day, I will be rooting for the Red Menace...

    Rose Bowl

    On Facebook, I posted how I found it interesting that red and black are featured prominently in the Nazi flag... Triggered a few dwag snowflakes, who apparently don't fully comprehend the depth of COFH...

    How many teams...

    Elitist: (of a person or class of persons) considered superior by others or by themselves, as in intellect, talent, power, wealth, or position in society To note the realities of the Institute compared to those universities we generally regard as "football factories" does not qualify as an...

    How many teams...

    It is not "elitist" to acknowledge what is a demonstrable fact... GT, which is a hard school to get into and harder to stay in, just lost to a factory team loaded with players who would not be able to get into GT and will likely not even leave Ugag with a degree...

    How many teams...

    Youve gotta be smoking crack to think that the kids going to the factories bear much of a resemblance to the kids that are able to get into (and graduate from) Georgia Tech... CPJ himself noted that the kids at GT are like those he coached at USNA - and GT, as and institution, is a whole lot...

    Who Else was Impressed with Cade Carney?

    Thought that kid was really tough - he gave us all we could handle... I remember his recruitment - he would have been yet another great B-Back for us if he'd have come...

    GT vs Clemson Media

    I like how Venables noted that GT does a good job of "tasting blood"... Hehe...

    Wake Forest Predictions

    Whenever I think about buying a lottery ticket, I think about dialing the phone until Kate Beckinsale answers... Needless to say, I don't buy lottery tickets...

    Original "Yellow Jacket"

    A few anecdotes from my dad, Bob Barton, who is as big a fan today as he was when he was part of the halftime show: "In one of the seasons while Bill Waites and Bill Cooksey were the YJ pilots, they decided to get a little fancy and do some aerobatics. "The simplest stunt they could imagine...

    Fan reactions: Perceptions and delusions

    That was a hard-fought game between two good teams that were evenly matched... Sure, we could have done some things better, but so could have Miami... At the end of the day, winning games is hard, and this one just went the wrong way... Proud of out team and staff - they make the best of what...

    Miami Postgame

    I don't think that's the difference - I think, so far, the only difference is we've had a couple bounces go against us, when, in 2014, they went our way (VT, UGag, etc.)

    This is worst case scenario for GT's chances vs Clemson

    Geez - very few teams will ever stop "having seasons like 2015" or stop "losing games" like the TN game... Clemson just had a brain-fart against Syracuse... UGag lost to Vandy last year... FSU lost to us in 2015... If that's your standard for having a defeatist attitude, then you have no...

    Original "Yellow Jacket"

    Yea, my dad grew up in the 30's with airplanes in his blood... He and his buddies flew model airplanes competitively around the Southeast as a members of a club based at Charlie Brown Airport called the "Flying Rebels"... I grew up with model airplanes, but was scared of the engines - seemed...

    Original "Yellow Jacket"

    He flew it in 1955 at the home games and against Pitt in the Sugar Bowl... All the scores are written on the wings... https://photos.app.goo.gl/1fTfuUC59G94YOkD2
