A recent series of posts in another thread was addressing the “elite” vision of itself that the SEC promotes. “It just means more.” This morning, I was invited to a breakfast where an Asst AD at an SEC school addressed that. He started by describing the economics. In just eight home games, the...

What’s the latest on renewals? Ahead or behind last year?

Does anyone remember Dodd's somewhat unique approach to the game? I recall that he published a Coaching Philosophy Handbook which is in the GT archives, but haven't seen it for years. Dodd was schooled by Bob Neyland and his Seven Maxims of Football are still recited by UT players before every...

Ok, to change the topic ... I've just gotten a new dog. And I want to name him in a way that reminds me of Tech. I've thought of Sideways (But that was a girl) Burdell (which could work) Heisman (which might work) What names are possible that would be good for a dog? Any suggestions?

I am amused watching the turmoil at the University of Tennessee re the fate of Coach Butch Jones. Here's the dilemma. If UT loses this weekend to Georgie, they will effectively be out of the SEC East race and its not even the end of September (bad). Butch has a terrible relationship withe...

Every now and again, the issue of filling BDS comes up. In this case, Atlanta United showed what a full stadium could look like and we all wonder what a Jacket experience would be in a full BDS. So, I looked at attendance data back to 2005. Tech averages 48,835 fans per home game. If you look...
