So many feelings to process with this. Let the discussions begin.

I’m going to date myself big time now. I remember when offensive and defensive systems had a definite nomenclature and numbering system. Wide receivers were discreet categories identified as either a split end, tight end or flanker with numbers usually in the 80s except for the flanker who got...

FSU and uga face off today in a game that pits two teams deeply disappointed in how their seasons ended. Admittedly, FSU is the more bitterly disappointed team since they did everything necessary to get invited to the Big Dance but ran into the propaganda buzz saw that is the ESPN/SEC...

Several games in college football have been described as “The Game of the Century.” Though there is no objective criteria as such for this designation, several factors come into play. Obviously, media hype is important. Fan interest and viewership are necessary ingredients. And the game...

My childhood memories from Atlanta are magical and have, no doubt, been imbued with mythical status as I’ve grown older. If you are reading this it is probably because you remember the Shriner’s tag line printed on the tickets for the Georgia Tech / Georgia Thanksgiving Day freshman football...

Specifically, I have a memory of players being announced by position and what they were majoring in. I’m certain this isn’t a false memory but I am not clear about how often this was done (just bowl games?) or whether this was a short-lived tradition. I have not had any luck finding anything on...

That’s it. That’s the thread. This is my post.

I watched a couple of minutes of Ga State and Coastal Carolina last night while flipping channels and noticed they are 4-0. Being the largest school in the state, if I recall accurately, a few winning seasons could turn their large alumni group into active supporters and make the school...

Alabama gets handled at home and the ACC continues to whip up on SEC teams. Georgia alone appears to be unstoppable but all other SEC teams look like they’ve taken a step back. Is this just the inevitable cycle that conferences go through where they eventually return to earth or is this just...

I’m aware that this might require its own thread but what is the opinion of this site about when the NCAA became so hopelessly corrupt / inept? I know it didn’t happen over night but it seems to me by the time a certain team has to forfeit a season due to a t-shirt while national title...

Doubt that. I see this thing on Twitter all the time now and I didn’t before. It shows up randomly on replies to tweets, photos, links, all kinds of things. If someone reports something that is offensive it gets removed. If it’s not offensive it is not removed.

Some may see this movie as sentimental popcorn shlock, some as capitalism porn, and some may see it as the “Sea Biscuit” of athletic apparel promotion. It is entertaining and appropriately dramatic, even if you already know the details of the story and all the personalities involved. It...

Because I can’t think of any. Tech has had bad years before, though it’s hard to think of one worse, except in won/loss terms, but college football as a whole was just one big, boring plot line this past season. In years past we have had football seasons with interesting intersectional...

Didn’t see this anywhere else. Former Yellow Jacket quarterback Jaybo Shaw will be leaving Rabun County High School after 10 years as head coach and accepting the head coaching position at Wayne County High School (Jesup, Ga) a school that has more than twice the enrollment and a history of...

Monday night. I’m afraid to watch. It’s hard to beat a good team twice. If the unthinkable happens Monday night what will you do to cope? Remember, if the unthinkable happens we will be hearing about it and seeing clips of it for years. It will be even harder to live in this state. It will...

It has become apparent to me that the definition of “juice” is a little fuzzy. At first I thought it was a pretty straight forward description of the energy and effort a player brings to practice. But as I listen to coaches, fans and players use the term they each seem to mean something...

In your mind how dissatisfied is the fan base with our current coach compared to past coaching situations? I remember when Bud Carson followed Bobby Dodd at Tech. Some fans hated him from the get go. Criticisms were that his coaching style was too hard on players, he was not affable and the...

Please do not turn this into a political thread. How is your local high school football team doing with COVID? Up here in Rabun County we have already had to postpone two high school football games. Famed uga recruit Gunner Stockton was inching his way up the all time state QB records but he...

If every college game played so far had been played in the SEC what would the spin be? I’ll go first: “Minnesota is a tough team that clearly could beat any team in the country -except Ohio State. That just shows how good Ohio State is, perhaps the greatest team in the greatest conference...
