Got on a Delta flight this evening.....sitting in 1D. Flight attendant sees my GT jacket and flahes her UGag phone case....then says she feels sorry for me. I asked her who was working as a flight attendant and who is flying 1st class. May be a long flight.

Wish I could “like” this one 100 times. I am literally sitting in 1D right now on my way to Pittsburgh. I might have waited until after she had served me though;)

I usually just smirk and go from paying with cash or my visa. To the company black card (one day i might have one myself if i can justify the 2500 fee but 2500 just to wave my bank acoubt around isnt really worth it)

He talks a lot without really saying anything. Not sure why Virginia Tech is considered to be a coin flip considering we're 2-0 against Fuente. Also when you consider everything VT is losing this off season I'd actually give us more than the edge in that one even with it being Thursday in Blacksburg. If you check http://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/virginia-tech/92407 they're losing their whole backfield on D and Settle their best overall Dlineman.

I just don't understand why Miami gets so much love. We SHOULD have beat them last year, and, barring a fast series of fluke screw-ups, we were at least in the game with them in 2016. With all that the mutts are losing, coupled with the fact that we will be playing again in Athens, I certainly give us more than a 25% chance of winning. Let's see how the early part of the season plays out for both teams before even attempting to come to any conclusion on that game. VT should be tough, not because they are particularly good, but because we have won 2 in a row. But they are definitely still beatable. I'm not sure why he gives Pitt so much credence; I don't think anything last year should lead to that kind of thinking. I do worry about USF and UNC, but only because they are away games. Clemson is the only team IMO that SHOULD beat us, but strange things have happened in that series, and with a new and hopefully improved D, strange things could happen again. I know from talking to several Clemson fans (both friends and fans at games) that we ALWAYS scare them, so who knows?

It's The U. They haven't really earned the buzz their various hot starts have generated over the last decade or so, but I think they are closer now. They have a coach who can do the whole job, and have had success the last couple of years, and they have improved already strong recruiting. When you have the talent base they do, I think it becomes harder to anticipate the next year based on results of the previous and key losses.

But, aside from his first few year in Athens, CMR has a history of underperforming teams (undercoached?) So why should we expect any difference now?

LSU’s Donavaughn Campbell accepts plea deal in Georgia Tech incident
According to Ross Dellenger of the Baton Rouge Advocate, Campbell reached a plea deal in a case stemming from an incident at Georgia Tech in late October of 2016. In exchange for a plea of guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery, the LSU offensive lineman was sentenced to 12 months probation, 100 hours of community service and eight hours of anger management. Additionally, the first-time offender will be required to write a letter to each of his two victims.

Campbell was arrested at a Georgia Tech fraternity house for allegedly punching two people.
