    AI and Play-Calling

    Let's say that an AI system were to analyze EVERY single play from scrimmage run by some random team over a three-year period. Each play would be categorized for things such as down & distance, score, time on the clock, home vs. road game, etc. Then during an actual game, a booth analyst would...

    Georgia Tech Swarm Awards

    Just thinking out loud... What if we were to poll the forum at the end of the year (like now), and designate an Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year? We could award a plaque to each winner and everything. Waddya think? Pros? Cons? Interest? Value? (Cost?)

    Recruiting by Position Chart

    Over in the Recruiting forum, wouldn't it be helpful to have a chart showing the "committed" and "transfer in" players sorted BY POSITION so we could easily see where we are picking up or lagging? Might be more useful that a simple list of players...

    An Open Letter to J Batt

    [Sent via email to J Batt and his admin, Jacki Agee.] J- I'm writing on behalf of a growing number of Tech fans who are fed up with the current state of college football - not at Tech - but across the nation. As if the NIL and transfer portal were not enough cause for concern about the status...

    It's not about the Jimmy's and the Joes...

    ...it's ultimately about the Benjamins, the Bills and the Bucks. SEC, Big Ten each top $2 billion in athletic department revenue, outpacing Power Five foes According to this article, Tech has the lowest revenue in the third best conference.

    Is this REALLY true?

    Years ago (decades really), I heard that one of the obstacles Tech faces is that the Georgia Board of Regents is primarily composed of UGA grads who do not want to see Tech overly successful athletically. So, they won't allow Tech to offer majors that might be more appealing to student-athletes...

    Absurdly Early 2024 Predictions

    The schedule next year looks brutal. Without looking at graduations for any of these teams and having no crystal ball for transfer portal moves, here's what I see: 2 "Likely" wins (Georgia State, VMI) 3 "Probable" wins (Duke, Syracuse, VT) 2 "Toss Ups" (UNC, Miami) 2 "Probable" losses (NCSU...

    Question About Offensive Plays

    I'm not an offensive guru by ANY measure, but when I watch oh, I dunno, Colorado or some of these air-raid offensive teams, it appears to my untrained eye that they've got a helluva lot of receivers running all over the place and their QB's have lots of places they can go with the ball. By...

    Question about linemen

    I can think of a number of important characteristics of linemen: height weight strength quickness stamina skill Here's my question: Assuming all other things to be equal, how important is weight? IOW, if you have two guys squaring off against each other (OL v DL), and one guy is 350 lbs and...

    Do we want/need Jimbo Fisher?

    And no, we can't afford him. And besides, he's an offensive-oriented guy, right? But he has Georgia roots...does Key make a call?

    Question About Line Play

    I never played the game, so this is a serious question. Let me set it up first. In basketball, if you can take your man, the team knows it and gets you the ball. Conversely, if your man can take you, then the you and your teammates have to adjust. What about football? After 2 or 3 series have...

    Rivalries

    For Tech fans, our in-state rivalry with UGA is easily the most important...but what is our second most important rivalry? The ACC power brokers seem to think that Tech fans should be emotionally invested in a rivalry with Clemson (due to proximity and a couple of big wins?), but is that really...

    About the MBS v. BDS@HGF

    I've often wondered about why we would ever want to play a game at Mercedes Benz Stadium. It feels like we are giving up our true home field advantage. And for the Georgia game, we're simply selling more tickets to UGA fans so we're sure to be outnumbered (seems to happen at BDS, also!). Is...
