Interesting. Dude was pretty darn solid at UNC. Joined Penn State as a transfer this spring, and is looking to leave after 1 semester. Word has it he wanted to be at a place he can start his last year, and supposedly he's stuck between 2-3 guys in PSU's cornerback room.

Dunno that too many will agree with me, but I pretty much love CBK's quote on which QB stood out to him in this article. It's smart, and accomplishes a few things: 1 - Keeps the 2-3 frontrunner QBs from getting "too big for their britches." There's been a lot of talk about the QB battle...

I love everything about this. Agreed that we need to strike while the iron is hot. I do remember how the fans started showing up when CPJ started winning his first year - I'm hopeful we start putting up some good performances, and all of the above happens alongside it, so that ultimately the...

This is something I think the student athlete (and largely former SAs) who pushed for NIL - as well as those currently pushing for salary in addition to scholarships, Room & Board, stipend, and NIL - may not have considered. Certainly a "law of unintended consequences" sort of thing - but it...

I mean, I immensely enjoyed the last guy who tried some originality. Unfortunately, his timing wasn't that great given the fact that Coach Leach passed away a few weeks later. But "A" for effort, no doubt.

Too true on the house of horrors that is GT at Charlottesville. I think we're still paying off some sort of cosmic energy that got us the win there in 1990. Hopefully that debt will be paid soon. Maybe the past 3-4 years will count as double in our "payments" in service of that one glorious win?

Interesting. What's even more interesting to me is that Duke and Wake aren't mentioned at all in his assessment. Probably nothing, but still gives us something to do in the offseason to think through possibilities.

Again, we see that Brent Key is a football coach. In my professional life (dotcom startups and scale-ups), a lot of noise was made 20 or so years ago about the "work culture" of the types of companies I work at. Things like people riding around on Razor scooters, foosball tables, casual dress...

A little bit more of the act:

This. And as true GT fans/students/alums, the way many of us deal with uncertainty is to try and pick the thing apart and identify all the potential points of failure, no matter how insignificant, so we can feel both a) more in control and b) superior to it. Agreed wholeheartedly with the rest...

100% agreed. On all counts.

Hey there, now. Might want to put in a trigger warning for @stech81 if you're gonna be throwing things like that out there.

Agreed. I know that many say that leadership can be taught - I'm not so sure I agree 100% with that. To be a truly GREAT leader, you have some combination of great factors within you that comes together to inspire, motivate, support, and drive your followers. There are intangibles there. And...

Unfortunately, his contract isn't like (most) others. Our contract with CGC included no offset clause for future employment or earnings. So in the unlikely case that someone decides to pay him $1M/yr to work for them, he keeps all of that...and the buyout money that GT continues to pay. There's...

I grew up in section 204L. Had the best seats in the house, IMO. Have been to a couple of other places in the stadium over the years, and none have been as good. (Although I imagine today, I'd like the sun a little bit less.)

One thing that’s happened from this thread is that my Ignore list has grown by at least 3 people. So I suppose that’s finally one good thing TFG did, I guess?

Well, then. (Yes, it's an incorrect use of the meme, but the line works. Leave me alone, my bracket just got trashed.) :p

I remember the "Thrillerdome," and how many games I saw there that came down to the last minute. Last minute to-the-buzzer finishes are always exciting, and we had more than our fair share of them, it seemed. And the most important part: more often than not in those situations, the teams somehow...

I grew up in Fayette County, and my dad either founded or stoked the flames of the Yellow Jacket Club of Fayette County when I was little. He told me a story about sometime around the time you mentioned (1984, IIRC), one night they got Bobby Cremins to drive down to Fayetteville and speak to the...

As expected, looks like Diamond (who owns Bally) has filed for bankruptcy. While the article linked above is focused on MLB, it does talk about how MLB teams will handle the situation if Bally stops paying fo broadcast rights. Will be something to keep an eye on for sure.
