Sorry for the pic size here, but I couldn't find a way to shrink it. But it's too good not to pass on. Let's deport mutts too.

Most of us texas types hate UT so I could be biased.

Especially if we have ties to TAMU!! Such an ugly orange worse than Tennessee!

For a guy who constantly pushes back the "triple option" is just one of the plays in our "spread option" attack, it's funny to see him standing in front of a screen showing "GEORGIA TECH FOOTBALL...The Triple Option".

I agree with you, but it could be he is just breaking down that one play.

A&M is burgandy. UT is burnt orange.

That's kind of what I was thinking...still gets a chuckle though.

Here's the closest description I've seen of Tennessee orange

Trey Klock thread is locked, but it looks like he's transferring to Northwestern. For those wondering about the being closer to home thing, GT is 720 miles away from his home town and Northwestern is 680 miles away. Seems strange to cite that as a many reason and go somewhere just as far. But NW is a great school, so you can't blame him.

Could just be an instance where Northwestern came to Klock at the last minute and told him they're interested and Klock saw "Northwestern MBA" and reconsidered. Can't fault a guy for wanting an MBA from a top 5 business program.

And technically, he is "closer" to home...

Can't fault the guy for using his scholarship to get what he wants especially when everything is done the right way, but man it sucks to be on the wrong end of these grad transfers. Dude put in work and got out early...good for him.

I'm sitting back watching the 1983 Gt-Virginia football game and then I will watch the 1984 GT-Tennessee game. I'm having withdrawal and I need football. Yesterday I watched the 1983 Clemson-Boston College game where Doug Flutie ripped up the Tigers.

The highly selective colleges ought to withdraw from the NCAA and form their own league since they are not trying to build national championship programs. They should not actively recruit athletes. The Ivies and similar colleges and universities would eliminate some sports from their portfolios—these schools support far more sports than, say, the University of Alabama, whose athletics website lists 15 sports. (Harvard’s, by comparison, lists 40.) The idea is to recreate a competitive athletic landscape of true student-athletes, whether the athlete is enrolled in a state or private university.

Finally, university leaders should consider forming special institutions located in different geographic areas that are devoted almost entirely to athletics and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. These students would be prospective professional athletes who would be paid for their work as athletes, or students who wish to work in various parts of the sports industry. This would eliminate the pretense that many of these young athletes are truly interested in other parts of the curriculum. Of course, I can point to many athletes from elite schools who did go on to successful careers outside of athletics and some few have even made it in the professional leagues, but in many of the scholarship schools, they are there principally for athletics and they are quickly forgotten by those at the university once they leave.



It’s time for universities to take a close look at their athletic programs and assess what they would like those programs to be within the context of the larger goals of a college and university.

The Knoxville Police dropped drug charges against Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings. I bet UT greased the palms of the Police.

Not sure where is the right place for this, but did not want to start a new thread:

And we thought GT had issues with payments to former coaches.

With how lousy the Rutgers football program is going to be for years to come they might want to consider dropping down to FCS.
