    Our rotation going forward

    We have engaged in this tangentially in other threads, but it is clear some of us (maybe all) were clearly off in our predictions about this teams rotation. Against Pitt CJP started Lammers, Gueye, Alvarado, Okogie, and Alston. Jackson is first off the bench virtually every game. Haywood is...

    WatchESPN not working

    I am a SlingTV subscriber. Until last week I was happily watching games via the WatchESPN page on ESPN's website. I login with my Sling account. Now it does not work. I can watch live stuff on ESPN via the SlingTV website, so my Sling account is still active. Any hints or suggestions?

    New tax bill could undercut college athletic departments

    The new tax bill eliminates the deductibility of donations that establish ticket purchase and seating priority. The AT fund would potentially take a big hit in their fund raising.

    Sometimes this stuff is boggles the mind

    I wonder how many Tech players would need help in a college hospitality course about coffee and tea? Did you know you can get a PhD in coffee and tea...

    Assistant coaches

    To be pondered until game time. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/alabamas-outside-linebackers-coach-makes-more-than-the-university-president/2017/08/31/6d9fc4a8-8d8c-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?utm_term=.63f9a252e20e

    @Miami

    This game could be the key to our NCAA bid. Beating Miami in Coral Gables, at least on the surface, looks easier than winning in Syracuse or South Bend. And, we need one of those three games in our win column. The problem we face is that Miami needs this game more than we do. This coming...

    A Murder of Crows

    Today I am trying to decide the best way to prepare crow as I rethink my early season predictions about our team. I did not foresee any of this: Lammers has been a scoring force. He had always seemed capable, but never as assertive as first line ACC players have to be in league games. I had...

    How much institutional support does the GTAA receive?

    In this story on app.com dated today, Rutgers University's athletic department received $28.6 million for fiscal year 2015. How much does the GTAA get from student fees and the Institute? That must be a public record...

    The Day After

    Josh Pastner was not my choice. So, I do not have to defend him based on past comments. But, I am a fan of GT basketball and have been for all of my life. That is not changing. He is our new coach and I propose we give him a chance to succeed. Let's withhold our negative feelings about...

    Villanova

    10.5 point underdog today. Gotta play our best basketball to keep it close, then try to reverse last year's habit of collapsing in the final minutes. Go Jackets!

    How many starters will be returning next season?

    I watched the game with a friend this past weekend and he said, "You guys will be returning 50 starters next year. That has to be a record." This comment came when Gray went down. He was referring, of course, to the injuries and the number of different faces who have played in significant...

    Special Teams

    Ken has a nice blurb on kickoffs today about which I have some thoughts regarding. http://www.myajc.com/news/sports/college/georgia-tech-making-changes-to-kickoff-return-team/nn6p8/?icmp=ajc_internallink_referralbox_free-to-premium-referral We have suffered an inordinate number of injuries...

    Therapy Session

    I think way too many of us spent too much time this past summer at the Koolaid bar just off Techwood. Remember when we were discussing our OL and several mentioned we have four of those five dominant guys back? Yeah, me too. But the guy we are missing may be the only rookie starting lineman...

    Weather

    Today has been windy and raining in eastern NC. So, trapped indoors, I checked the Saturday weather for Durham. Bring your foul weather gear. The afternoon high is forecast to be in the 60s, with 15 kt wind, and 70% chance of rain. On our side of the stadium there is no cover!

    The ND "putdown" has already started.

    This blogger seems to be saying we don't really deserve any respect. http://notredamegoirish.blogspot.com/2015/09/my-if-we-see-this-we-beat-gt-saturday.html My list: 1) ND gave up more than 400 yards of offense against a Virginia team that managed only 336 the week before and averaged only...
