Win or lose, we need to cheer our team on! Let’s put one in the left column, ok? Go Jackets!

Happy New Year, GTSwarm! Since we have hit a bit of a new year lull in the season, I thought it would be a good time to check in on the numbers and see how the team is doing so far. Feel free to add your analysis to my amatuer take as well. Record: 8-4 (1-0) -This is probably around...

GT vs. Miss St.! ACC vs. SEC! Top 25 opponent coming into McCamish! 7:00 Tuesday night! Our men's basketball team gets another challenge against a very good Mississippi St. team. In Coach Chris Jans first season last year, they made the NCAA tournament and they are already 6-0 this year with...

GT is 7-4, and coming off an easy win over Alabama St, while Clemson is 9-3 and coming off "their most complete game of the season," says Coach Brownell, an 85-57 win over Richmond. These teams are pretty evenly matched, with Clemson at RPI-101 and GT at RPI-108. (NET rankings-91 & 112) With...

Jackets vs Hornets! GT comes into the game at 6-4, having just had finals week and a little banged up, with at least three guys in “protocol” over the last week (Coleman, Smith, and Franklin). Alabama St comes in at an RPI of 305 (!) and a record of 1-8. They have played a pretty tough...

So, where do we stand after nine games? What do we know about our team? There is a long way to go in the season, but since we are about to start ACC play, I thought it might be a good time to do a deep dive into our team so far: The most important statistic: 6 wins, 3 losses. Losses: Iowa...

Here is a chance to erase the Marquette game from our collective memories and get a win. Will Pastner make any significant changes?

There is not a lot that these two games can tell us about the defense (one being against a top 5 team and one against lower level competition), but a few things already stand out: 1. We intercepted the ball 3 times in the WCU game. We only had three interceptions ALL YEAR last year. 2...

I just wanted to take a moment and give a shout out to our special teams. It seems they are finally “special” in a good way. Here are some highlights: -Cimiglia 3/3 on FGs. When was the last time we were 3/3 on FGs? After a horrible first game, he has looked really good. -KOs. Gavin...

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Jordan Usher and his play of late. We have definitely seen the "rise of the house of Usher!" Last year, he played fast and sometimes out-of-control. This year, he has kept that quickness and explosiveness, but harnessed it in a way that is controlled and...

As hard as it is to believe, it looks like we have a real live basketball game coming up Wednesday at 9:00! I'm excited to talk some basketball, and more excited to see some! So somebody tell me all about Georgia St. And while you are at it, go ahead and give predictions! GTMBB is back...

After a upset victory over Louisville and a week off, GT is back at it against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. Wake Forest is favored by 1.5 which basically means nobody has any idea who will win this game but the slight edge will go to the home team. Both of these teams are “Dr Jekyll and Mr...

It seems that one of the biggest issues with our beloved Jackets is the lack of development with the guards/wings. We have seem notable improvement with big men under Reveno, including Lammers, Gueye, and Banks, but our guards seem to all be regressing instead of progressing. Worse shooting...

GT poured it on against a tired UTRGV squad tonight. By halftime, the game was already over (42-11). It was a slow, sloppy game with lots of TOs, but the Jackets put them away early with good shooting. I missed the start of the game, but it looks like Alvarado came off the bench--anybody...

Offensive game ball: Some options: -Jordan Mason--ran really well and found the holes. -Parker Braun--consistently destroyed Alcorn's interior lineman. -Taquon Marshall--looked good running, and passing improved throughout the game. Obvious statistical leader. Qua Searcy--one run for 56...

GT basketball is sitting at 4-4, with losses to UCLA (in China), Grambling, Tennessee, and Wofford (@ Wofford), and victories over three lower-level teams and Northwestern. Our team spent the first three games without Tadric Jackson, all 8 games without Josh Okogie, and the last 4 games with a...

So, I figure I will just throw this out there. I live overseas with my family and we are back in the States for a bit and we will be in the Atlanta area on the 28th...which just happens to the night that GT plays their final home game against Pitt. I would love to take my 6 year old and my dad...

You say crazy? I say...not so fast. At 12-8 and 4-4 in the ACC with two top 10 wins and quality wins against Clemson, @ NC St, and @VCU...we find ourselves curiously close to the bubble in late January. What's it going to take? 5 more ACC wins? 6? What about the NIT? What would it take...

I just can't get over how frustrating this season has been for the team and the fans. Obviously, the season is not over and I hope we can end this miserable season with a resounding win, but up to this point, it has been a big, ugly mess. Here are the first two things that can point to as...

Here are some stats from the Pitt game to ponder: TFLs: Pitt: 7, GT: 0. We are losing the battle in the trenches. Other teams are storming our backfield and we don't have the blocking to keep them out or the skill players to make them pay. 0 TFL for our defense is just sad. Rushes: Pitt...
