    What music are you listening to?

    What’s kind of fun about this thread is discovering that others have eclectic taste too. People ask what kind of music I like and I say any kind as long as it’s good. The only genre of music that I’ve never found a work of that I liked is barbershop quartet. If you’re a fan, I’m not judging...

    Your favorite diner, dive or drive-in

    I can’t rank them. Each is its own thing. For hot dogs I would also throw in Charlie Joseph’s in LaGrange. Like Nu-Way and The Varsity, a history that goes way back. Basic chili dog with onions served with an ice cold bottle of coke. Hard to eat just one. The place in Orono is nice...

    Didn’t get to that but I have to say I’ve loved the food all over Norway.

    Your favorite diner, dive or drive-in

    That’s it. Don’t know what it’s like now but ten years ago it was great. Also got to be acquaintances with owner and bartender of Woodman’s which was a really good place for dinner and drinks. Feels like a lifetime ago now.

    Haven’t been to Columbus, GA in a very long time but for a real southern meat and 3 lunch, Ruth-Ann’s was the place. It’s been going strong since the 1950s. Very consistent. Hard part used to be choosing between their biscuits and cornbread.

    Got me thinking. There was a former baseball player for UMaine who ended up running a really good hotdog place in Orono. Don’t know if it’s still there or not but a great place to get all styles of hotdogs with great sides and French fries.

    FOX5 Las Vegas: UNLV coach Josh Pastner pitches investors on buying the Runnin’ Rebels

    Filming parts of Ozark there reinforced the death spiral.

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Certainly in the college football playoffs we have seen bye teams each year lose for this reason.

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Georgia Tech had the second most regular season wins in the modern era (since 2008 when the NCAA capped the number of regular season games). I keep trying to hold onto that accomplishment with my feelings, reminding myself that anything can happen in baseball, especially in the playoffs, but...

    No More SEC Cupcake Weekends

    And all those SEC teams immediately advanced in the playoffs and the last two played each other for the championship, right? 😉

    I believe this too. It’s the proverbial monkey on the back. If you can ever break through it your psyche has a complete reboot. But, until you do, there lingers in the back of the mind that it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    If I practiced good mental hygiene I would swear off of watching Tech sports for an extended time.

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    The bad feeling about this season is similar to my heartache after the overtime loss to uga in football in 2024. That felt like we had the best team with the best shot to win that we’ve had in decades and that it would be a long time before we had an opportunity like that again. But don’t mind...

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    I said before the game that I hoped the team had more confidence than the average Tech fan. Oklahoma never looked unconfident. We did. You can be the best team in the country all season long but not be ready to be playoff good. My mind went back to the first time the Atlanta Braves were...

    MBB: So what happened last season?

    These are all the key factors in my opinion. A credible case can be made that CDS is not a good coach but, regardless of whether that is true or not, the transfer portal, with our having limited funds, tore this team apart and left us with a hodgepodge of less talented and/or less experienced...

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    I think I speak for a few GT fans when I say this. We had a bad feeling about this series when some team with red on their uniforms was treated like the home team in our own stadium. Not being the home team, and not getting the last at bat for two days in a row, feels like bad mojo. Baseball...

    20 point toss up question. Was this collapse on the big stage comparable to the football team chocking against Pittsburgh? Or was it worse?

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Wow. It’s baseball, man. How many games do they play in MLB series before they get a division champion? I predicted weeks ago that this could happen.

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    I’ll say it again. This Tech team is the most dominant I’ve ever seen. Win, lose, or rained out, regardless of how the ball bounces, this is the best team in the land.
