I agree. We were in an electric field from start to finish, actually an awesome human experience. Historical note: Notre Dame was No. 1 until this game but they played and lost to Ugag in the Sugar Bowl.

Apparently, we have not been set free. We're still doing time.

I think you learned from today to cover her eyes so she won't see the obscenities on the field.

When Chuck Noll first came to the Steelers, a team that hadn't ever been to the playoffs in 40 years, one of the players asked him, "Coach, how come we ain't winning?" Noll replied, "The reason you're not winning is that you're not any good. That's why we're going to have to get rid of most of...

I'm eating at the Hudson Grille and then I'm walking down.

It would be best if our entire national society shifted, but it at least needs to occur within the Tech culture. And to be clear, demanding excellence in academics and athletics used to exist at Tech. We lowered our standards.

I totally agree with you. A new coach and even a new AD will not solve the problem. We need a man at the top - the president - who understands the pursuit of excellence. We need a renewed perspective, that includes the belief that college is not for everyone. We need to return to our...

It didn't used to be an advertisement for campus life. It used to be about arete, the pursuit of excellence.

I would especially like the Tech fans younger than I am (63) to read this: Amen. Our civilization is crumbling because we have forgotten what built it. In the early 60s, when I was just a toddler, the memory of what Bobby Dodd did in the 50s was still very fresh on Atlanta's mind, and my...

And I see it was extreme, but i thought of it as a bit of hyperbole to demonstrate that economics need not be the driver. Does Georgia Tech play football to make money? Then money should be the highest principle. But it plays for another reason such as fielding a team that represents Tech to...

Economics need not be and in my opinion should not be the highest principle in the logic of this situation. Slave owners used economics to justify continuing the institution of slavery. They didn't want to lose their monetary investment and so ignored the morality that demanded the end of...

The current coach

Georgia Tech's problem is very similar to America's problem: they won't get rid of the incompetent people who can't do the job they were hired to do.

Why oh why oh why would anyone keep Thacker in any capacity?

What if we sued Collins for mis-representing himself as knowing what a football was?

I'm 62. I was born into a Tech family. I graduated in '82. It's the coaches.

We didn't. We got worse.

I texted a classmate from high school that went to Cow Town U., "Hey, can't your guys do any better than that? Notre Dame beat us 55-0 and they didn't even score in the 4th quarter." I bet that made him really mad.

You have a potato now as head coach, scattered, smothered, and covered.

I tell you, I've been a Tech football fan for 60 years, but I may be turning my back on the whole thing. It starts with standards. When I was a kid, everybody knew you had to be super-smart to go to Georgia Tech. We should return to our standards and if you can't meet the standard, then get...
