    Bracketology 2024

    It's interesting how in football, the ACC Coastal was always the "weaker division" because there was no dominant team, and on any given Saturday, any team could win. Meanwhile in basketball, the opposite logic seems to be applied to the Big 10 and Big 12 and SEC. Frustrating.

    This. Again, if you all haven’t listened to the episode of the podcast “Acquired” on the NFL, you should look it up. It’s very interesting how the NCAA has taken a different path than the NFL (in some cases because Washington won’t agree to let them do things). When you look at the SEC...

    I posted this in another thread, but figured I'd post it here, too.

    Ah - that would be a good turn if that was the case. My bad.

    GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    I'm hopeful it sounds like Paul Johnson after fall practice in 2015. The moment where he said "I dunno which practice you were watching" to the press goes down as one of my most "I wish it hadn't happened, but I was glad to have a coach that called it like it was" moments ever as a fan.

    Offseason Media 2024

    So awesome. As a heads up to everyone on here, companies assign weight to marketing efforts like Youtube videos based on number of views, and number of "Likes" assigned to the video by watchers (same thing goes with Xitter and Facebook and Instagram and other social media posts). I noticed...

    GT Band Fundraiser for sending more 🎶 to ☘️

    Looks like I missed the shirts and hoodies window, but I just chipped in $50. I would also gladly donate for more band at the home games, and less piped in music, but that's just me being an (increasingly) old guy. Hope we get a good number of the band there!

    College football is a mess

    Right. Agreed on that - but as I said, it all depends on how quickly dominoes start to fall. If the Dartmouth players form/join a union, then within a week you could see Rutgers players voting to join, or Clemson, or uGA, etc, etc. It could take a lot longer than that - but once the collective...

    College football is a mess

    A good thought, but I'm not certain it works that way in this case. The laws of supply and demand may take over, here. I have the (often unfortunate) distinction of being a member of the formerly-3 (now 2) unions for professional actors - SAG-AFTRA and Equity. Their founding is an interesting...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Mods, can we now get a thread on the differences between Italian and Spanish? Asking for a friend.

    College football is a mess

    I like this. I mean, if they're ultimately employees, or even independent contractors - "professionals," as many of them like Zeek Biggers have taken to describing themselves - that sort of thing could be warranted. (Although non-compete clauses have been shown to be hard to uphold in court, I...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Interesting. No word from his Twitter on any changes - but who knows? Would definitely be a big loss. https://twitter.com/Zeekbiggers
