Opposing coaches and boosters love this list because it makes it so easy to know who to try and poach with inducements. If we are able to retain these two players this off-season, I would consider that a big step forward for the program from an NIL standpoint. Fingers crossed that those at the Tech Way are able to match the demand of the market for these talented young athletes.

Would be even better if the posters contributed to the Tech away.

Just that if you have the least bit of fear about bridges at all it can be difficult. Wind, fog and disorienting vistas.

Never been over so these are obviously second hand stories. Didn’t know if it had special terrors compared to other bridges or not. Maybe the psychologist they used to use was simply the need to keep the morning commute moving.

Makes sense. When I’ve gone over it was a normal day. Fog and wind could create for an interesting drive.

LA is where my wife is from. Monroeville, Alabama. Halfway between Mobile and Montgomery. It ain't close to nothing but the ground I tell people when she is not around. To this day, we receive the weekly Monroe Journal from her hometown so she can keep up with what is going on.

Lower Alabama is Butler County. Monroeville natives may claim that title, but it doesn't fit. Anything north of Mobile is just Southern Alabama.

That's South Alabama. Lower Alabama is that portion of FL directly below AL, including Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach, Destin, etc. I was born in LA; my mom is from South Alabama, Georgiana/Greenville area (about 30 miles east of Monroeville).

(but if you're from the southern border counties in Alabama, some people do refer to this as Lower Alabama)

My dad’s family was from Foley Alabama. They called it home.

UNC has it rolling now and getting Walker eligible has made them better. McCollum probably wasn't thinking about him when he transferred. Maye is targeting Walker over McCollum. We will have our hands full for that game.
I am a little surprised that the NCAA caved on allowing Walker to play this late in the season. The governor (UNC grad) lobbied the ncaa and the state attorney General (who plans to run for governor) threatened to sue them. That appears to be what did it. The ncaa has no backbone.

Really makes me sad that we lose such historic rivalries like GT vs Louisville and GT vs Wake Forest just like that.

Does make me wonder who are protected game/games would be...Clemson?
