    Coaching Acumen of the New Staff...

    This is not/not intended to be a negative post about CGC and the new staff - I hope we exceed all reasonable expectations this Fall, and I hope we become the powerhouse we all hope the program will be... That said, one of the things I enjoyed most about CPJ was the display of coaching ability...

    OK - We now have our Dabo...

    Disclaimer: I am CPJ guy, and I wanted Monken... That said: CGC reminds me of CDS when he was hired at Clemson - rah rah, high energy, a little clownish, but very likable... Many of us didn't think CDS would last, but he has achieved as much as one could hope for - he's turned Clemson into a...

    Yellow Jacket Presentation to Bill Curry

    Following up my previous post, here's a video of our presentation of the YJ to Georgia Tech... https://mediaspace.gatech.edu/media/RC+Airplane+-+Bob+Barton/1_sz0h5yfi Many thanks to CBC and Tech's historian, Marilyn Somers, who was instrumental in this process... My dad watched the video with...

    Trying to donate our Yellow Jacket...

    I mentioned this a while back, but my dad (AE '57) flew a yellow jacket model airplane at halftime during his time at GT... Here's a link with some pictures and video of us flying the model a few years ago: https://photos.app.goo.gl/B2IIFHKfOGnZAkLq1 I reached out to Todd Stansbury a year ago...

    It's not Tech Gold...

    But the new bottom paint matches the GT flag pretty well... :-)

    AB or BB at QB?

    Seems like all of CPJ's QBs have been taken from the AB mold, with the exception being JFN... Fast, shifty little QBs are fun to watch, but they get beat up to easily... It would be nice to bring in some kids who are more suited for BB than AB if they weren't already playing QB...

    Who Else was Impressed with Cade Carney?

    Thought that kid was really tough - he gave us all we could handle... I remember his recruitment - he would have been yet another great B-Back for us if he'd have come...

    Original "Yellow Jacket"

    I sent this email to Todd Stansbury this afternoon - will be interesting to see if the administration will take us up on the offer: Todd: As an alumnus (BEE '87) of Ma Tech, I wanted to make you aware of a piece of Yellow Jacket history that resides with our family... My father (AE '56) still...

    Where were you the last time we beat UT?

    I was a senior in 1986, and I was there when Grant Field erupted in a joyful explosion when UT's kicker slipped and missed a game winning field goal... It was a magnificent win, equal to many since, and exceeded by only a few... It's been 31 years since, and much has changed... But at it's...

    Which is more important to you? HDTV or Internet

    As a diehard GTFB fan for 30+ years, technology has had a profound impact on my ability to follow my Yellow Jackets... I used to call the Bobby Ross Hotline, drive to downtown DC to get a Sunday AJC, watch those few key games that were nationally televised... The two things that have...

    When does the off-season officially end?

    Tomorrow or a month from now?

    Leonard's Losers...

    As the summer drags on, and thoughts turn to the start of fall camp, I remember things like Leonard's Losers and how much fun college football is... For those too young to remember Leonard Postoasties and his radio show, you really missed a special part of the what makes being a college...

    Former GTFB Players present on The Swarm...

    I know we have a couple former players here, but I don't know who... Not looking to "out" anyone, but curious to know some names...

    What's the worst part of the Off Season?

    Was thinking about this while my heart aches for a new GT football game... During the off season, there's signing day, spring practice, and fall camp... Is June, which is about equidistant from spring and fall camps the worst time of the GT football calendar? Or is it February, since new...

    Stuffing the Inside Plays...

    One of the most painful things to watch over the years was when we'd tear up things until the bowl game, then get stoned inside (i.e., Iowa, LSU)... I am excited about our offensive line, but do you think they'll be good enough to avoid the inexplicable letdowns we've seen on occasion over the...

    4th and forever...

    I watched the BC game last night, and got to the 4th and 19 play late in the game... Two of the plays in JeT's career that will always be memorable for me are that one and the 4th and 15 in the VT game in '14... Those were both absolutely critical plays that went a long way towards defining...

    Game day media?

    I see that the pregame show isn't being streamed in the app... It it otherwise available on the Internet?

    Who would you rather be?

    MSU? Oregon? UT? USC? Baylor? Arkansas? Florida? Miami? There are a lot of teams over the last ten years that have come and gone... Lots of flashes in the pan... Lots with long downturns... I wouldn't trade places with any of them, not in the classroom, not on the football field, not...

    Thank you, Justin, PJ, and the rest of the seniors...
