    College football attendance continues to decline

    Totally agree with both of these points. By replacing bleacher seats with chairbacks, it adds to fans' comfort level (greater incentive to see game in person, as opposed to watching on TV while sprawled on a recliner). Tearing out seats in upper north and replacing with party deck would be...

    Update on GT FB Recruiting Initiative

    Ironically, the blurb added to the email about the 2018 schedule, the article posted to RamblingWreck.com, and the initial message posted on a paysite are all good follow-up promotions for this FB Recruiting Initiative, but at the end of the day, they're still all actions that are "follow-up" in...

    Update on GT FB Recruiting Initiative

    +1 I'm a lifelong sidewalk fan. (Dad got out in 1952. He raised me right.) Despite being a FB season ticket holder, I've yet to hear from GTAA about this initiative through my e-mail address that they use to contact me. Like you, I also learned of this initiative through various Tech message...

    Football Study Hall on "Coaches who aren't good enough"

    Not sure if this was unique to Smelter (shouldn't be, but seemingly was), but timing routes seemed to decrease after his departure -- quick outs, button hooks, etc. The bread-and-butter pass play that made Smelter/Thomas deadly, however, was the back-shoulder throw. Don't recall many...

    Design your worst case CFP final four

    Totally see how dwags would vent anguished howls if Richt were to lead daU to a championship over uga. But I have an admittedly personal bias against Canes fans. Prior to our home game against daU in 2014, I was outside the North stands for Tech's traditional pre-game festivities on the stairs...

    Design your worst case CFP final four

    Good horror thread for a Halloween night. The nightmare scenario for me would have to be dwags vs. ThugU in one game, and a Petrino-coached Louisville team vs. Bammer in the other. I'd prolly pull for a bench-clearing brawl in one and the apocalyptic meteor in the other. And, if by some...

    Tennessee game seat location

    Yes. Apparently, both escalators and elevators: "... the interior of Mercedes-Benz Stadium will showcase plenty of space on the concourses and will feature 23 escalators, 19 elevators and an expanded number of restroom facilities."...

    Penn State to remove 7,000 seats with new stadium renovations.

    The two times I've been to Death Valley, the Clemson's visitors' section was up in the stratosphere. I don't know how many decks that stadium has, but I was definitely in the top deck. Literally, I saw several birds fly by *below* me. For uga games in the past, I've been in both the third deck...

    Penn State to remove 7,000 seats with new stadium renovations.

    Slightly different take: How about moving visitor seating and the visiting band to the Upper North (above the "Gold Zone")? Reclaim Section 131 in the Southeast corner from the visitors. Renovate/expand/install party deck in Section 131, with a focus on easy flow of foot traffic between the...

    1-1 with Todd Stansbury. What should I ask him?

    What a great opportunity for you, and what an engaging AD Todd Stansbury is. Thanks for asking for input. For the fans, I'm wondering if it might be possible to do a real-time "Tweet-Along" or "Live Video on Facebook" from FB games. This could be a student assistant or perhaps someone on...

    Gregg Garrett at Lunch Bunch via Hive

    LOL! I just scrolled down his Twitter feed and saw those recent follows. I'll give GG credit for knowing what he likes. He's not a Legs Man. Not a Boobs Man. Not even an Eyes Man. Nope, it's a 24/7 booty call for GG — the *** Man.

    Dante Wigley

    Dangit! Which one of you guys drank JoBu's rum?!? The Jackets' streak of transfers, injuries and quitters has to stop eventually, doesn't it? I'm going to log off and go sacrifice a bucket of KFC. ...

    Thanks, man. I needed that. ESPN3 can go **** themselves with that NCSU/Cuse stuff. ...

    A worrisome stat

    On the other hand, it's the series of medium and medium-long gains to continuously move the sticks that makes for a "Paul Johnson Death March." Not complaining about the 50+ yard TD runs, of course. Just pointing out that the clock-consuming, disheartening death marches typically don't have the...

    Doomsday Scenario for the ACC

    True story: I've already arranged to take off the week of Jan 11 to roadtrip to Arizona and witness Tech win its next national championship in FB. I'm also telling everyone in the office that the ACC is sending two teams (Tech and ND), while the SEC is going to be left out. The Yellow Jackets...

    Bedford to succeed Roddy Jones

    Yeah, Jessie Palmer might be the exception. He seems more likely to do true "analysis" during a broadcast than other color commentators. Back to the original post: I'm really looking forward to hearing what Bedford can do. Perhaps I'm looking at this through gold-colored glasses, but I'm...

    Bedford to succeed Roddy Jones

    Yeah, but it'll be at least 10 years down the road, after he's retired from a long and successful career in the NFL. :-)

    Bedford to succeed Roddy Jones

    Congrats to both Roddy and Sean. Looking forward to their continued good work on the airways. Side Note: Would be really cool if Tech SAs continue making these kinds of in-roads into the broadcasting field — particularly FB players who played for CPJ. Having that kind of knowledge and...
