    Opinion Week: You Can Still Have Fun in a Losing Season

    Definitely possible to have fun in a losing season, but only if you don't have expectations. Look at the Hawks: 29-53 for the year, but most of the fans still loved going to the games because the players were fun to watch and they were perceived to have improved throughout the year. Will...

    Contract details for Georgia Tech's Geoff Collins & coaching staff

    This article goes through the breakdown: www.ajc.com/sports/college/georgia-tech-transition-was-not-cheap/7cRAUbhoJpXuhVKODr8ZjI/amp.html We're seeing a $400k increase, but we're still paying CPJ and his staff through next month. CPJ also collects a $250k check each of the next 4 years. So if I...

    2019 Offseason Thread

    Ken Sugiura did a Q&A about Georgia Tech for CFB Dynasty. Seems like it's a college fantasy football focused website, so it's all discussion focusing on the offense. https://cfbdynasty.com/georgia-tech-2019-college-football-expert-qa/

    Contract details for Georgia Tech's Geoff Collins & coaching staff

    Here's a comparison to the previous staff, with Candeto acting as our "OC": HC ($0): Geoff Collins ($3.0M) vs. Paul Johnson ($3.0M) DC (-$125k): Andrew Thacker ($450k) vs. Nate Woody ($575k) OC (+$200k): Dave Patenaude ($400k) vs. Craig Candeto ($200k) OL (+$308k): Brent Key ($600k) vs. Mike...

    Roster Management

    For as much talk as I've seen about how we need more OL, Coach Key went on record awhile back saying he's never had this many OL to work with at any of his previous spring practices. We have 20 total OL (14 on scholarship), so the numbers are there. And I'd trust Key above most any other coach...

    ProJackets Update

    There was an article this morning in The Athletic assigning retrospective Draft Grades to the 2016 NFL Draft Classes. They assessed the best player, best value, biggest miss, and gave a general overview of each class. Here's a snippet of what they said for the Broncos: They praise the Broncos...

    Golden Ticket Sweepstakes

    #5 is the best one for me. I feel like if you emailed the Ramblin Reck club you could arrange #2 for free. They've always been super accommodating when I've approached them about pictures or getting into the Reck before.

    Wow. I lost track of our decommits that ended up at UCF. Thanks for the correction!

    Coaching Acumen of the New Staff...

    My biggest reservations are regarding Coach Pat, but I'll trust all of the new staff until they prove to me that they aren't worthy of it. I was excited about Groh, Roof, and Woody the same way when they first arrived and that excitement quickly diminished when I saw the product on the field. As...

    I thought it was interesting that Trysten Hill was drafted in the second round (58th overall) this year. That was a guy we had committed to us for awhile before something happened at one of the games that pissed him off and caused him to decommit. Turns out he was a pretty elite DT talent...

    Bill Connelly's Georgia Tech Preview

    Pretty clean write up. I love these reviews from an outside perspective. I particularly love seeing all these media pieces, tweets, and quotes that praise the staff that Collins put together (Fiutak says they are "terrific"). It really is great that we were able to pull together such a great...

    Myles Sims Committed (Michigan transfer)

    He's a redshirt freshman, man. Michigan's depth chart at DB is loaded with juniors and seniors. The quote from the coach and the video of Don Brown posted above all seem to indicate that he's immensely athletic and talented, he just needs more coaching. We're going to provide that unless you...

    Myles Sims Committed (Michigan transfer)

    You're going to take a singular quote about a redshirted player as an indicator he'll be a non-contributor? That's what I call silly. The coach said he's got a great skillset and just has to "get more consistent." That's a reps thing mostly, which our practices seem to be heavy on. Coach Collins...

    Myles Sims Committed (Michigan transfer)

    Players transferring out of GT: Elite playmakers who are All-ACC or All-American caliber and irreplacable by the current roster. Failure to retain them is indicative of a poor sales job by CGC. Players transferring into GT: Low-level players fleeing competition, who lack drive and/or desire...

    Myles Sims Committed (Michigan transfer)

    It's 6 hours of what are called "humanities" now. Here's the course list. If you want to fill it with a language, that's 2 semesters of a language (note: you can't just do one language class, you have to do Spanish 1 AND Spanish 2 to count credits for both). There are some other interesting ones...

    Game of Thrones

    Last night's episode was the best of the season, but that's not really saying much considering the season's overall quality. The writing on the show has really dropped off since they started going beyond George R. R. Martin's source material in Season 7. Just seems like they want to get it over...

    2019 season ticket sales

    All I could find was this article from last August that said the OVERALL attendance in 2017 was the lowest since 2012. It's known that overall attendance had decreased each year since 2015, so I think the best number to beat is the 2015 season ticket sales and attendance, which was our peak...

    ESPN article

    Ahh, older generations believing that the youngest is going to be the end of times. A tradition as old as humanity. Here's a funny article with quotes as far back as Aristotle claiming the new generation is too arrogant in 400 BC. Including this wonderful quote about how the generation that...

    ESPN article

    The interesting tidbit I saw in that article is that Collins was studying Psychology when he was a GA at GT. Last time I took a psych class it was taught that positive reinforcement is definitively better than negative reinforcement. All my psychology degree holding friends back that up too. I...
