  1. Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    Accurate reporting of facts make for terrible talking points, but touche.
  2. Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    Over 90% of all Americans between 18 - 30 support full legalization No voting demographic favors enforcement of current laws over legalization Strong clinical research supporting positive medical benefits (the least of which is the decreased use of opioids, the leading killer of my generation...
  3. Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    Introduction “If there was common agreement on what outcome was desired, then the discussion would be a pure engineering discussion: ‘what is the best way to achieve this goal?’ But it strikes me that there isn’t agreement on this underlying vision. And so, the engineering discussions get lost...
  4. Ok Brilliant Engineers....

    Option 1: Stadium Major redevelopment of the entire stadium to make it multi-faceted asset that distinguishes GT from every other college program Get rid of the current skyboxes that serve coke & bags of frito chips. replace them with WeWork offices (co-working spaces) and sell those offices...
  5. Way too early look ahead to 2018

    The sad thing is, this statement has never been not true. Shamire played well last year whenever I saw him play (which wasn't a lot). Everyone seemed to act like Shamire's lack of playing time last year was because of his performance. I suspect there was an ulterior reason behind this. Even if...
  6. Dedrick Mills first JUCO game

    He's a second day NFL draft choice caliber player who was money near the red-zone and short yardage situations. CPJ will be lucky to find a BB of this caliber ever again in his career. This coming from one of the biggest Benson fan's on this board.
  7. Jordan Ponchez Mason fan !!!

    @Coachstick12 welcome to the board! i take a lot of stock in subjective player attributes like the one you provided. There's a good track record of people coming to this board (or HS coaches doing interviews with the AJC when the kid signs) to talk about a player's good characteristics off the...
  8. Break-out names for 2017

    Simmons, above and beyond what everyone else who has mentioned him pegs his ceiling at (I'll match his goal to be ACC defensive POY as my standard). Agree on the lot of Vic, Glanton, Henderson, Branch, and saint amour. Adding Henderson at LB. Offense: Benson and Cooper. Will add Shamire and...
  9. if tech was in the national championship game....

    Stanford for recruiting and brand benefits. Not all that interested in comingling with folk from an SEC hamlet.
  10. Why should we really expect to be good????

    Oline (3 projected starters started games as freshmen last year. Will Braun is a solid, experienced leader. Marshall is a senior who can play anywhere on the line. Shamire can shine as the 3rd guard (huge in our offense). I think Hansen can contribute off the bench this year) Mills (Future NFL...
  11. Unleashing CTR's Defense

    Resident board preseason optimist, reporting for duty. DLine. I've been saying Antonio Simmons is League since he was a freshman. I'll up it for his senior year - he could be a first round draft pick. Laugh all you want. He DOMINATED at times last year. Why the hell he didn't play more, IDK...
  12. 2017 GT UDFAs

    Someone please explain to me how Justin Thomas hasn't been signed as an UDFA? Dude is an elite athlete with low 4.3 40. and a proven competitor. At 5'11, 180 he can play in the slot or at cb. I get he'd have to learn a new position. But isn't it worth the risk of - at most - wasting a year on...
  13. Top 20 NFL draft picks

    I played HS football against some of GA's best talent. I only played against two 5-stars. Trust me. You know a 5-star player when you see them. One guy was a DB/ QB whose legs felt like he squatted 600 lbs and ran a 4.3. His name was Eric Berry. The other guy looked like Big Ben & had a cannon...
  14. OT depth

    I'm not giving up on Shamire. I like what I see from him in games. Hopefully he and the coaches get on the same page regarding the non-film stuff. If Braun & Devine lock down the guards, that frees Bryan to start at a tackle, which solves this problem. Marshall is a clutch multi-tool 6th...
  15. 2017 Spring Practice

    From a source whose football opinion I trust, CPJ was really high on Jay Jones before he stepped foot on campus in 2016. Said that Justin Thomas is obviously a freak athlete, but he was excited about JJ b/c he's a better fit for how CPJ wants to run his offense. FWIW, this is the same...
  16. Josh Okogie comparisons

    Along the lines of player development, is doping a problem in basketball? Never really hear it discussed much, but I'd imagine the temptation is there from an explosiveness standpoint. Grew up as a kid in Chicago & MJ is a god to me. No doubt his work ethic and competitiveness made him great...
  17. FSU AD Wilcox projects significant revenue jump from ACC Network

    How does the graduate assistant system work? Isn't that basically cheap grad student labor for the GT coaching staff? Seems like this could be a huge benefit for GT (subsidized graduate degree; attract quant guys for data analysis or ex-football players who want to go own to coach or be ADs of...
  18. FSU AD Wilcox projects significant revenue jump from ACC Network

    Well said. This point seems especially true since college football has no mechanism for distributing talent/profits, e.g. pro-sport leagues have centralized revenue sharing. rookie drafts, and salary caps. College football, on the other hand, is a space race of outspending other schools on staff...
  19. FSU AD Wilcox projects significant revenue jump from ACC Network

    On the one hand, this is a great revenue stream from GT. On the other hand, I don't feel proud that my beloved alma mater is a beneficiary of the business model designed to kill the internet. Anyone who understands technology: why don't we use technology to debundle programing, create a neutral...
  20. 2007 Recruiting Class Ten Years Later

    Too many players on this died so young. Sad to see. Quite a few arrests. Plenty of injuries. Lots of salesmen. If you're a top 100 player, all the more reason to go to GT. Get that degree + the best shot at making the NFL! (logically flawed stats are my specialty)
