    It was great to see Otene step up big time with 17 kills. I love how she plays with such power. If we could just get Bertolino to do the same. I swear two thirds of the time she just tries to tip the ball like she is afraid of getting blocked instead of just hitting with power off of high hands...

    GT Vollebees

    What is it with Volleyball broadcasts from the state of North Carolina? Not near as bad as Duke as this announcer could actually pronounce the players' names. But just a single play by play buy and no replays at all! Which definitely were needed as the refs missed so many calls that there were...

    Analytics and our pitching

    Agreed. Especially since there are about 21 pitchers on the current roster and normally only 36 innings per week.

    GTMBB 80 Vandy 76 ( Secret exhibition)

    Assuming that it was played in normal 20 minute halves the scoring is encouraging. Love to hear the details. Not sure how good Vandy. is projected to be this year.

    No kidding. I think the only player whose name he didn't butcher was Moss. This was the worst game production I have ever seen on the ACCN online offerings in ANY sport. The commentator should be fired. How hard is it to ask how names are pronounced? Just read the team website where they are all...

    Nowhere to go but up

    Not sure that means anything really. Sometimes there is addition by subtraction. What if all the players coming back improve immensely? That logic reminds me of when they say a team that returns all five starters will be much better. Forget that those five players gave up 20 points a game more...

    PFF Week 6 Grades

    Smith was the "normal starter" under the former coach (and everyone knows how good his decision making was). Hall is the "normal starter under the current coach. All I was trying to say is you jumped to the conclusion that Dontae is "in the doghouse for something" and I tried to point out there...

    PFF Week 6 Grades

    I don't think he is necessarily in anyone's doghouse. Since the head coach change we have seen several players get time (or more time) than previously. It makes me wonder in the former head coach was dictating playing time for certain players but now maybe Key is relying on the input of his...

    2022-23 Season

    Outside of the transfers are there any surprises in terms of returnees that are not on the roster?

    Duke Week + Homecoming

    Take a close look at Duke's schedule. Outside of an upstart Kansas they really haven't played anyone. Looking at their opponents and outside of Kansas I only see one single win against a P5 team (Northwestern vs. Nebraska). They may be 4-1 but they haven't really beaten a team with a winning...

    2022-23 GTWBB

    Give me a guarantee that we are dancing anywhere and I'll take it right now. Though I really do think we will have a better season than most are predicting. The addition of Swartz, Jackson and the new freshman will provide us with a much more dynamic offense. Sure our defense will take a hit...

    Class of 2024 - Baseball commits

    I'm confused.....has he announced? And is he committed? Or is he announcing that he is going to announce that he is going to commit? Just teasing. Welcome aboard Aidan! You just made a decision that will benefit you for the rest of your life well after you are done playing baseball.

    GTWBB 2022 (Off-season thread)

    I don't know anyone, on here or elsewhere, that looked Mellows as a replacement for Bates. They aren't anywhere in the same league (no disrespect to Sarah but come on). If athletic success is measured by scoring a lot of points against marginal opponents then LaSalle makes sense. Personally I'm...

    2022-23 Season

    These days we would probably attract more students and sidewalk fans if we offered weed and edibles! Plus that would increase revenue in our concessions. CBD for the old farts. Wait, weed is still illegal in Georgia.....damn.

    GT Vollebees

    We are supposed to sweep the middle of the pack teams and we did that. And we can't help the fact they are in our conference and we have to play them. Our pre conference schedule was set up with a tough ranked teams to prepare for teams like Louisville and Pitt. I actually thought the sets were...

    GT just won a couple National Championships, did you know?

    Does the Air Force do sniper training? I thought that was more of an Army/Marines/Navy Seals kinda thing. And Colorado Springs isn't a big ski resort area. Those are more north and west of the Springs area.

    2022-23 Season

    I hear what you are saying about those attendance figures but none of those teams have a major league team in their backyard like Tech does as well as a Triple A team just up the road. I wonder if Tech wouldn't draw much better if they didn't have to compete with the other baseball venues like...

    That is why I referenced her family situation in my post.

    2022-23 Season

    I believe the addition of more scholarships will hurt Tech overall given that we have a slight advantage with the Hope Scholarship situation in the state of Georgia. Then again with the NIL situation we could be seeing baseball teams fully funded at top SEC and Big 10 schools anyway so maybe it...

    GTWBB 2022 (Off-season thread)

    Hate to see it. Wish her well unless she plays against Tech. I see how everyone thinks it's because she wants to stay closer to home with her family situation and nobody can blame her for that. But maybe it could be because she just found out another highly rated 2 guard is about to commit to...
