If in fact Key is the guy, I'm happy for him - and happy for us, now that we've got someone who the team and the students believe in, and whom we can all rally behind to give him his fair shot. It did give me pause to see 100% of the Tulane fans on Reddit thrilled that we had decided to not got...

Funny. I was a legacy GT, and was offered the President's scholarship. Which was apparently a big thing. And then decided to turn it down in favor of a lucrative English degree from Oglethorpe. So y'all may have been "too dumb to get into Tech," but I'm guessing you're a lot smarter than me in...

Wait a second. Did you hear this from a former roommate? 🤔

And even then, we should probably leave it open for a bit. For the laughs.

This is apparently why we weren't able to attract any flashier candidates. Good on ADJB for holding the line, but it may have been blown up by donor meddling. Hope that's not the case. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, I guess...

This. I do hope that Key isn't ticked off by all the recent events. It sucks to go into something that was your dream job, that now feels like you're the second or third choice. Like it didn't value you back. That can lead to some downstream effects. Definitely takes the wind out of your sails...

Scott Frost, going from UCF to Nebraska after the 2017 season. Coached UCF in the 2018 Peach Bowl as a condition of his agreement to coach the Huskers.

Yeah - IIRC, he was a "special consultant" then DC at Notre Dame in 2015, when we were projected to do well and they beat the snot out of us early in the season. I watched that game from Rome, Italy in a bar at an odd hour, and knew that season would be crummy (which CPJ had alluded to in...

Well, remember, it was The Greatest Rebuild in the History of Collegiate Sports™. How else would we have gotten CGC to take the job? (/s, if no one gets that off the bat. Also, FML. Can't believe we will actually have to pay this guy off, AND he'll make more money as DC from my wife's school...

Unpacking a lot of stuff here…My vote is still “other” - as in, “I’m putting my faith in J Batt, and being glad he has the decision and not me.” Especially since Batt’s hiring came out of left field - I definitely wouldn’t be surprised to be surprised on whom we hire. (Will be hilarious when we...

Just re-watched the VT game. And yet again, I'm struck by the way our defense played. Lights out. Darkside, indeed. I also gotta say - at the start of the year, I could not imagine our defense being top 5 in anything...much less announcers waxing on about it. Love that our forced turnovers and...

Username checks out.

Was just thinking the same thing.

We want pics, Garth! 😆

This image is of course the first thing that comes to mind. @gte447f - make us proud.

I really liked the hat when it came out, and thought about getting it, but then thought "Nah, I can grab it anytime." Sheesh.

Agreed. I'd say without a doubt, both of them were elite in their badness. If any of you can't see that, you just aren't looking.

That's true as well. The analysis of being the "big fish in a little pond" is spot-on, similar to how GT was a dominant force in Atlanta under Bobby Dodd (before all the other pro sports came in). It's also true that on gameday, at 60% full Memorial Stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in...

Thanks for your comments, @Pitt97. I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts over the past week, and see a lot of similarities in the way we see our teams. Pitt has always been a tough, hard-hitting football team. For me, that’s why it felt exceptionally good to win this one (aside from the fact that...

Valid point, and specifically relevant. CGC was apparently a decent DC at Mississippi State and Florida. Mediocre head coach at Temple, (dare I say it) awful head coach at Tech. The simple fact remains - being a head coach is different than being a position coach. Aside from the possibility...
