I actually talked with him the other day on Twitter. Apparently he went to Arizona with Pastner and is very close with him still, traveling to a lot of the games and hanging out with the team in the locker room. He said "coach is like a brother to me". The photo in his profile picture is a wristband with the statement "Attitude of Gratidue", a motto coach Pastner came up with. He made the wristbands for the team and fans when he was at Memphis and he's already made Georgia Tech ones and sent them to the team.

Seems like a really good guy and someone who's going to be a really big Tech fan.

Forgot this one on 11/29:


So far we've got:
  • 11/11 - TBD home game
  • 11/29 - @ Penn State
  • 12/7 - @ VCU
  • 12/20 - UGA
  • 12/22 - Wofford

We also should have a game at Tennessee, possibly a home game against Tulane (I think there was a return game), plus the above ACC pairings. I believe the Duquesne game was a one-off.

Looks like we can definitely add Tulane to the list of opponents. Article in the AJC said we will be playing Tulane on Nov. 26...the SAME day as the UGAG football game. A first, they said (playing UGAG and a hoops game).

Thanks for the update @Ramblingon. So far we've got:
  • 11/11 - TBD home game
  • 11/26 - Tulane
  • 11/29 - @ Penn State
  • 12/3 - @ Tennessee
  • 12/7 - @ VCU
  • 12/20 - UGA
  • 12/22 - Wofford
Gonna be a tough dead week. Also, no idea yet on what we're doing on the exempt tourney front that adds 2-4 games.

They actually posted the full home schedule as part of the ticket renewal website. UGA & Tulane are the best OOC games, but that's fine with me because our road schedule will be tough and I expect a rough season to begin with.

Home opener is Tennessee Tech. Also confirms we're doing our own exempt tourney with us & Ohio U headlining.

ouch. Tulane, Alcorn, Ohio, TN Tech, Sam Houston, Southern, Wofford. There's 7 games no one will attend. Anyone want my tickets, let me know. UGA is always fun, even though neither team will be any good this year. ACC schedule is set by the league, so it is what it is. Best games on the slate are UNC, Notre Dame, Louisville and NC State.

I really, really, really hope they start scheduling a few reasonable OOC opponents once CJP has a couple of years to get talent level to a respectable level. No way they will ever sell out the place with the crap schedules they've had the past 7 or 8 years

Ah I'm going to go ahead and disagree. UGA has two potential 1st or 2nd team SEC performers in Frazier and Maten, another talented forward in Ogbiede(sp?) and a guard in Jackson no longer buried behind Gaines and Mann. Not to mention 4* Crump.

This could be a thorough whooping this year.

Fully admit I don't follow hoops up in Athens very closely. They've won one NCAA tourney game in last 20 years. As a general rule, they're like most SEC teams not named Kentucky.... They suck pond water. Every now and then they are ok and win 20 games, but it's an anomaly. I think they tolerate hoops as a diversion between the bowl games and the annual arrest and incarceration season.

The ajc is wrong tech played Michigan in tip off game before the Uga game in 1985. We lost but I told my brother we would not be beat in both sports in the same day. Gary lee proved me correct. Was at game sat in south end zone.
