    About the Money Down nickname

    This. If forced to choose between the two, I’d go with “It’s 3rd down” - but overall,I’d prefer something different. This announcer sounds like a wannabe caller for the WWE. Amateurish and unoriginal. I’ve lived 2000+ miles away for the past 20 years, and when I went back to a game in 2016 for...

    A history lesson

    Ralph wasn’t Ralph at that point. We now know him as a genius because of things that happened later. But at the time, it looked pretty bleak. Put simply, hindsight is 20/20.

    Colts QB Andrew Luck Announces Retirement From NFL

    He saw the first half of the Florida-Miami game and lost all hope for the sport.

    Canes Fans Already Done

    Point of information: The notion of not allowing anyone to cross the band line is not abnormal - it’s for the sake of security and making sure the entire band gets on the bus. If one person goes through, the floodgates often open, and the whole band winds up separated. In an often hostile...

    GAAAAME WEEEEK!!

    I’m watching from CO on Youtube TV (thank god it came through). Will have some (corn) whiskey clear poured & ready for toe meets leather. Go Jackets!

    ACC Media Days

    Livestream on WatchESPN here. Jalen Camp just finished. David Curry is up. (And yes, before you ask, Geoff Collins is rocking the Waffle House to-go cup.)

    ACC Championship Odds

    Agreed. I’m thinking UVA, just because fate has a way with the Coastal, and 7 teams in 7 years would be an apt illustration. That being said, yep - I think this would have been a good year for CPJ. I almost wonder if those putting together this ranking (FamDuel) aren’t just going off of...

    GT & Braves Special

    So I'll be out of the country on that day...but would likely purchase a ticket just to get the hat (and give a little back to the A-T fund). Wondering if you have to pick the hat up at the game, or if it gets sent to you otherwise. Hmmm.

    Vote Now: High School Male Athlete of the Year

    Ooooh...tough choice. Jamious Griffin or Jordan Yates? Either way, glad that we have 2 on the list!

    Meeting With GT Staff Soon. Need Your Input

    Yep. Great doc. My favorite is still '#31 - Young Adult Engagement' - particularly the bit about engaging students from other schools. It's a long-term play, but could be very useful in selling tickets and creating sidewalk fans that endure for a long time. (Verified by my friends and wife, who...

    Anybody know what these are?

    You criticized someone for not reading the comments, and didn’t read the timestamps? ;)

    Your thoughts on the transfer system?

    It all goes back to the original reason: An example - GT finds a Dedrick Mills-style bruiser of a running back. We invest the time, energy, and resources into helping him develop to his full potential. We found him when no one else would give him the time of day. Then when he because known as...

    Old Tech memorabilia

    Cool to see all of this. I actually owned a number of these over the years, but they must have been thrown out when the family moved, etc. I know I have all my ticket stubs from the 1990 season somewhere in the basement, so at least there's that. One of my favorite pieces of memorabilia (that...

    Atlanta Legends - 7 former Yellow Jackets

    For those interested, you can watch all games live for free on the AAF site and in the iOS apps. I’m not in the southeast, so I had to settle for the other game, and occasionally glance in on the Legends. Also, the San Diego / San Antonio game was actually decent. Wasn’t playoff caliber, for...

    GT signing day update ...

    Bummer. I know there was some supposed ‘bad blood’ after the situation with his brother - but I always hate to see wasted potential.

    Lamar Owens takes Georgia Southern job ...

    Good for him. Happy to see LO land in a good spot.

    Wesley Wells

    This. Lots of us may not have been around long enough to know, but this is part of our DNA at Tech. It’s analogous to the reason Bobby Dodd & Co. left the SEC. Tech isn’t (and has never been) about titles at all costs, players be damned. I hope we never lose that. Because ultimately it’s a lot...

    Wesley Wells

    This. Deciding to give or not give a scholarship based on whether we think he will leave is short-sighted. It’s also doing what someone thinks is best for the team...but in the *short term*. What’s always more important to me is what’s right and wrong by the student. I don’t care if the kid...

    OldJacketFan has passed away

    So very sorry to hear. I never met OJF in person, but I remember his posts fondly. Sending warm thoughts and good vibes towards your family.

    Can DC Thacker adopt Army’s “position-less defense?”

    I shuddered when I saw that hire. (Not Mack Brown, but Bateman.) Without CPJ's offense, we could be in for an UGLY few years against uNC.
