    2017 Spring Practice

    Surprised to hear about Lee as well. Seems like MJ is top for now, but CPJ doesn't need to so won't name a starter in spring. More excited for the spring game than I have been in a while.

    2017 Spring Practice

    I would enter my credit card to watch a few rounds of Oklahoma between Vic/Adams/Keshun and Dedrick/Trey/Jazz.

    Yeah, the arms race part of it is pretty weird. I had three days off between spring and summer of my 16 year old year, and my parents picked me up from football practice (in pads) and drove me to EC games. I wasn't that physically gifted, so the training paid off (free college, admitted to...

    Travel Ball

    I played six years of East Cobb. There's a lot to say about it, but one thing I know to be true is that the Yankees (who were originally not an EC team) are treated well -- e.g. if they want to sit and just take BP, Beavers won't pressure them. Same can't be said for the lower levels.

    Wake Forest

    Umpires adjusted to this IMO. That low outside corner get can pretty low and outside sometimes, and when I caught, it felt like you had to train both pitcher and umpire that there is an inside corner for right handed hitters.

    GT under Pastner vs GT under Gregory?

    My guess is that he has had a cell phone his entire professional career.

    Roster number brakedown for a CPJ offense in the NFL

    Source details from this are behind a paywall, but seems about right.

    Roster number brakedown for a CPJ offense in the NFL

    It seems like you would need the same depth as you do at MLB. There's a few catches -- some LBs can fill in for each other in different packages, so you get more use from one backup there. A LB can play with a broken finger, a QB cannot. The NFL also allows for more prep time. There...

    Roster number brakedown for a CPJ offense in the NFL

    You could get similar arbitrage value by not having to pay a QB, LT, etc. I think some (just some) of the reluctance to run these schemes is aesthetic / moral: people don't want to watch the guy with the ball get concussed repeatedly.

    Fiscal Year 2016 FBS Revenue & Expenses

    At least this, as noted on the reporting tab: "Per EADA guidelines, GTAA's annual debt service funding totaling $13,361,358 is not included in this report. " Total GTAA Profit was $107,489 on the year, not including that debt service.

    So help me out here

    IIRC, a lot of MJ's were QB follow or TO with a strong suggestion to get downhill. That may be due to a lack of confidence in his pitch game (or confidence in him getting downhill) but I don't think we've seen everything he can do.

    1-1 with Todd Stansbury. What should I ask him?

    Sponsor an incubator for sports and technology. It wouldn't require a new "Sports and Tech" major or department, but it would motivate student/community involvement. Could partner with GT grad Garrett Langley's company Experience (am a friend of his older brother) as I believe they are...

    So help me out here

    Yeah, I see what you mean on his tape. It's a real unicorn of a position. You must have good footwork, make quick decisions unselfish decisions and take a beating. And throw somewhat accurately with undersized linemen protecting you. And take calculus. And be our hero.

    Trey Klock transferring out

    Not that it matters, but Ken went to Michigan, where he wrote for the Michigan Daily. My girlfriend's sister also wrote for the Michigan Daily, though not during Ken's tenure.

    So help me out here

    May be similar to the reaction time and footwork required for playing catcher, my old position. And when thinking about converting players to catcher, scouts typically look to middle infielders with good feet. Also, it seems like the beating you'd take, especially in the midline series...

    Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

    The UCLA deal is the highest total ever in NCAA licensing. It's not a comparable. Don't know much else about this, but do know it's not for nothing that the Angel's litigated to be able to license the name the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. And though I love tech, it's brand isn't ATL at the...

    2017 acc predictions

    Scratched my head on this one enough times to look it up: "The Hokies were hurt by early defections to the NFL draft as much as any team in the country, including the loss of their star quarterback, Evans." Key losses: QB Jerod Evans, WR Isaiah Ford, WR Bucky Hodges, G Augie Conte, OT...
