    updated poll on coaching staff change

    The best-written answer to this poll right here. Agreed wholeheartedly. (Except that you're making me relive the Curry offense. I had finally stopped thinking about that one. :vomit:

    Brent Key expected to join Georgia Tech staff

    Like many, I'm excited by this hire. Always glad to see a GT grad come home, and Brent Key has shown himself in more than one role to be a rock star - both as a recruiter and a coach. That being said, I'm tempering my urge to jump up and down now and say "everything is awesome!" for a few...

    Watching Temple vs Duke,,,,Impressive!!

    To be fair - he has ~15 quarterbacks on the roster who have been playing RB at Tech. CPJ’s standard MO was to recruit QBs and athletes who were versatile enough to play various positions where needed. That being said, I think we’re still somewhat built for the option at the skill positions, but...

    Roll call for Motown Throw down

    All - I’m so sad to miss this one. After flying back to ATL & driving to NC to let my toddler and infant spend Christmas with the fam, the trip to Detroit was just too far out of reach this time. I’ll be cheering on from my parents’ house in Cashiers (along with my dad, Civil Engineering ‘75)...

    Please GT, get a new PA music person.

    God. Showing my age (which isn't THAT old), but I always preferred Bobby Dodd when the band was the music. The PA recorded music just seems...out of place and distracting. Doesn't get the crowd into it any more than the band (if not less). So hopefully someone can figure it out. Or if not that...

    Top 100 Georgia Recruits

    To be fair, remember George O’Leary’s press conference, where he pointed to the Top 100 and said “Of this list, I can only recruit 20.” And that’s just accounting for the academic difficulty - not the drive or desire of the students to go to a school like GT. I’m not saying a 5% success rate...

    2020 look ahead

    Funny. I now have a 4 hour-old baby, & I feel the exact same way. ;)

    2020 look ahead

    I’m inclined to say James Graham - although Jordan Yates could be in the mix as well. (But given the tendency of CPJ to rely on experience over raw talent - not a bad thing, IMO - even if Yates looks awesome, I would lean towards Graham.

    Tailgate at wreckfest

    I agree in principle. However, pricing is always a balancing act. Yes, there’s generally the notion to extract profit. But let’s assume that’s not part of the motivation - I can still see reasons why they would raise the price for certain games. There’s something to be said for making it a bit...

    Preseason rankings....

    To clarify - this year we have the 5th toughest schedule in the FBS. By comparison, in 2016 & 2017 we had a top 10 difficulty-of-schedule - and in 2015 we had the *toughest* schedule in the nation. And yet, in 2015, even with the injuries, we still played a number of games close. Which makes...

    TStan's brand: "We develop the young people who will change the world"

    Agreed. A lot of people (not in marketing) think a brand is about a logo, or a color scheme, or a tagline. It's not. A brand is about what an organization stands for. The best brands can draw a line in the sand and say "this is what we're all about. If that's you, step over the line." Tech is...

    How the ACC sees Tech

    Agreed. Luckily, I think King will show up this year. Last year he was supposedly dealing with a persistent groin injury that never got time to heal - but from what I hear from his high school days, he's got a tremendous leg on him. Fingers crossed!

    David Hale's ACC Position Group Rankings

    I’m terrified as well with the secondary. Not because of any bad performance (like the ST from last year, which also has me terrified) - but because of the unknown. In addition to that, I’m certain Woody’s ‘attacking defense’ is exciting for all of us who watched in agony with the...

    Secondary Teams

    Because I married a Nebraska girl (& now live in Colorado), I follow the Huskers as well as the Jackets. They’re now my 3rd favorite team (behind Tech and whoever’s playing Georgia).

    College Football RISK on Reddit

    UAB's territory still exists - but UAB isn't there anymore. It's occupied by Bama. So whenever you go against it, Bama will be the ones defending it. (If they choose to defend it). Additionally, that means Bama can attack us. Which is what I fear will happen - we're now the UAB of the...
