Well done Ken, Coach , and Matthew.

Best recruiting and bd is a good reference from your former players or customers.
With out that u have to wave your hands and shake your shiny key chain.

Sounds like a great kid, raised right, who despite chances to be that whiner in the corner resisted and is coming out of Georgia Tech with what he came for, and surely added something to the school and the team as he passed through. A win for everybody.

We should use his story in recruiting, a football injury won’t ruin your life if you come to Tech.

It’s encouraging to see that we seem to have a team full of TEAM players. I’m sure most other schools have guys just like MJ too but I’m glad that we have a group of guys that really seem to understand their roles within the team and the importance of the team over individual. Also, they seem to have the right perspective on football and it’s place in the grand scheme of their lives, as say vs. academics/professional development and personal health. Very proud.

He is blessed, and he is a blessing.

Similarly, more should be said about Jaylend Ratliffe, who, despite a career ending brain injury before every getting to Tech, retained his scholarship and now serves as a SA for Johnson. He was on the field at the Spring game, taking notes for Johnson.

Ah, what might have been.

If we had had Jordan at QB and Mills at BB last year, I have no doubt that Tech would have won, at a minimum, 9 games. We could have won 10 with a little luck. The three mud games would have been no problem for those two. We might even have beaten Clems0n.

Having a sound OL for the whole season would have been a real plus, but losing those two made everything much, much harder.

I'm glad Matthew got through his troubles without bitterness or cursing his luck. He's a real credit to Tech and the football program. If you read this, Matthew, good luck going forward and thinks form all Tech fans!

" He recently rewarded himself for graduating by purchasing a black GMC Sierra pickup." Why does everyone feel the need to do this? Yay I get a truck payment now.

I happened to meet Tim B before Notre Dame game he was bummed out because of his injury but he still had a real class attitude about it also saw Matthew Jordan's father during the early part of this season and he was bummed out about his son's injury but still class.

Perches is idea about this article been useful in recruiting I'll have to have a couple copies of this at the Spring game where we are recruiting a couple of players in Pensacola high maybe I'll see their parents

Seeing that he did 3 coops during his summers and has a job lined up im sure hes fine

Because if his job that is already lined up pays well enough it is probably worth it its not like he has student loans

Buying a new vehicle is never worth it unless you pay cash. Deprecation is ridiculous

I understand what you are saying but we still had the same defense.

Probably what enabled Jordan to get through his trials without bitterness or even complaints is that he never read a football message board. I'm not even hurt and I'm bitter.

That is also not true if said vehicle is going to have a use and based on certain deals. Depreciation only matters if you are viewing the vehicle as some kind of investment. Depending on interest rates new car deals and how long you keep cars buying a new vehicle can be the right choice
