    Spring Practice

    Agree. I thought it was a mistake last year to not play a 4-3 on what would be considered rushing downs (and our rush D stats showed it). Tatum could give that flexibility. He's a tweener--may as well use it to an advantage.

    Attendance and Atmosphere

    At Georgia Tech it's about the AD. Programs were in the dumpster until Homer Rice came along. Upward trend in FB, BB and spring sports. He retires, Braine comes in and spends the money in the bank, and everything begins going downhill with a series of bad ADs and bad athletic boards. Who...

    MBB - 🤞 Clemson 2/21 GAME THREAD.

    This is a poor shooting team. On offense, that's the way it is. However, you can bring your defense every night. Look at Clemson's shooting percentage last night. Look at UNC's when we beat them. Same with 'Cuse. That stat tells the story. Now, did UNC have a bad shooting night or did we...

    I really just don’t understand…

    Did you listen to his post game press conference a couple of games ago? He said he wasn't concerned about scoring. Now, I don't believe that is literally what he meant, but he did bring in guys who are athletes, but not scorers. So our experience with him so far is counter to your comment...

    Tashard named recruiter of year by Rivals

    Money is why he won't be back. Choice made $225K his first year at Tech. Choice made $550K at Texas in 2023, putting him at 7th highest paid RB coach. Texas can afford to pay whatever they want to. Our fans don't seem to understand that Tech's number one problem is lack of $$$$. We...

    Conference Realignment

    Ma Tech treats her students like crap. And she is consistent. She treats her alumni like crap too, which is costing the school and the AA money, but I suppose it makes the academic faculty happy. I'd run out of space just talking about my family's personal experiences. As one friend...

    Jackets Travel to Louisville, 2/10/2024, MBB

    Fixed that for you. I would not say 2 point shooting % generally is as limited as you stated, and even with my modification, solid forward play may be a bigger factor in the paint. Some 5's are primarily for defense--aircraft carriers as Al McGuire used to say.

    I really just don’t understand…

    This team has been very consistent. They can't shoot/score. That fact has been consistent throughout the year. 4 of the 5 starters combined to go 2 for 24 yesterday. That has to be some kind of a record. In the prior game they missed, what, 20 shots in a row? That has to be some kind of...

    Tashard named recruiter of year by Rivals

    Coach Choice's reply: To all in the organization that work hard as a unit to get the right players and the families that give us the honor to recruit and coach your kids . I just wanna say thank you to all cause Lord knows it’s not me.

    GT vs WF 2/6 7:00 PM

    I watched one of our first games on TV. My takeaway was "this team can't shoot." Basketball is an offensive game, and teams that can't score the ball don't win. I haven't watched more than a few minutes of any of our games since, because I knew this would be a rough year. I do review the...

    South Carolina was fined $100,000 by the SEC for storming the court after the Kentucky game. Don't know if the ACC has a similar rule.

    Article MBB GT vs. Va. Tech 1/27/2024

    As a data point, Reeves was an amazing -25, while Murphy was the only plus player on the team at +2. Plus minus doesn't tell everything, but that stat for the starters the past couple of games makes you wonder.

    Article MBB GT vs. Va. Tech 1/27/2024

    But what kind of talent? We have some great athletes who play basketball. That doesn't mean we have talented basketball players. I've seen it for years. These kids go to camps and all star games where their athleticism is on display and they wow people. They get 4 and 5 star ratings...

    2024 ACC Football Schedule Reveal - Jan 24th, ACC Network and ESPN2

    Which is exactly the problem. We aren't Alabama or North Carolina, Mr. Batt. Over half of GT grads leave Georgia. We have to figure out ways to get alumni back, and do so as economically for them as possible-and it is possible. We need creativity working with hotels and airlines. I've had...

    1/23/2024 MBB vs. Pitt.

    Looking at the box score, and particularly points scored and +/-, one could make a case that the guys who don't score play defense, and the guys who score don't play defense. Examples: Sturdy, 14 points but -16. Reeves, 15 points, but -7. Sacko (started) 0 points, but +4. Kelly, 0...

    Adidas Contract Expiring

    I wore adidas track shoes in HS in the '60s. Kangaroo hide, which I believe was subsequently outlawed. Nike didn't exist. Puma was the competition for track shoes. I played intramural soccer on that awful AstroTurf (wearing adidas soccer shoes). A layer of that abrasive stuff put down...

    Maybe our media deal to 2036 isn't that bad...

    What Texas shenanigans are you referring to? Texas has the biggest fan base in the SEC--that's right--the SEC--by far. The disparity in the Big 12 was even greater. If not for Texas and OU, no one would have paid any attention to the Big 12 in years past, especially after NU and CU left...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    Interesting that when he was here as HC the poor defense was all his fault but when he was elsewhere as DC poor defense was his fault and not the HC. And never mind that he inherited a defense that hadn't been good for years and lost 8 starters from the 2018 team. And never mind that at each...

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    This commentary below is from 9 years ago regarding Ayers. Your comment about Ayers made me do some web searching. Some officials clearly have teams they are biased against. I'm not saying that Ayers is biased against Tech, but he may tend to be biased toward a home team. It will be...
