Okay folks, it's time. We made it to 1 week out.

UWG makes the leap up to Division 1 this season and has joined the Atlantic Sun, which is one of the least talented conferences in the country. They are predicted dead last (by a large margin) in both the ASUN coaches poll and media poll. However, this is the program's Super Bowl that they've probably been building towards since the program was founded. This is technically their 2nd game as they travel to Starkvegas to take on Mississippi State on college basketball's opening night 11/4 but their first in the Atlanta metro area. Let's hope for quadruple overtime and some tired legs before the Jackets take them on 48 hours later. You know their entire student base (it's a larger school than I thought) and alumni are going to be packing 114, 115, and 100 and making lots of noise. We can't let them get out to a hot start, build confidence, and get their crowd amped. Don't forget about the neck-and-neck opener with preseason Sun Belt #13 Georgia Southern last year.

Search your couch cushions to scrounge up $4 for tickets and show up to your favorite place in the city loud and proud, ready to help spur some scoring runs for Nait & Co.

In the GTAA basketball marketing effort to promote ticket sales, I would not have referred to the 1980-81 season for any reason.

Yes, the 1980-81 team had their first sever home games at home, winning 3 and losing 4. They went 4-23 for the season, losing all the D1 games. The 4 wins were against D2 schools. I do hope that the seven game home streak is the only similarity to the 1980=81 season. The best thing about that season is that a 34 year old coach from Appalachia State named "Cakes" Cremins came to Georgia Tech.
