What about the DAWG safety net? Come on thats a great idea.

Someone knows the building code.
That is cheap. Red Wings games they were $10 for a 12 oz and that was either flat or 1/3 foam.Gotta love those eight dollar drafts!
No, apparently not. He seized the opportunity at Clemson, made possible by a football NC, and has a building program maybe unmatched in college athletics. At the same time he is driving for improvement in varsity programs across the board, and a couple of coaches who didn't measure up are gone. Bobinski apparently used GT to get out of the rain and his first hire, football, is yet to prove itself but it's early. Interesting that big names were thrown in the mix, Miles for instance, but he hired a Western Kentucky guy. Apparently, however, Purdue is in the same facilities mess that GT was/is in, so how does that play out with self-described "fierce competitor"? (At this point Ma's caution is due: "A man has to say he is, ain't." ) The new man is the real thing, per the locker room. Only took 10 years and four ADs.

You're missing the point. It's not about whether CPJ deserved it. Extending Johnson was literally the only option that Stansbury had available to him that wouldn't hurt us in some major way. Even if he wanted to fire CPJ, the fact of the matter is that we are a cash poor program that cannot afford to pay the remainder of the contracts for Hewitt, Gregory, CPJ, and whatever new coach we hire. Firing is not an option right now. And if you do not provide an extension, you're basically telling every recruit to not bother coming to Georgia Tech because we're going to nuke the program in 1 or 2 years and start from scratch. It is a standard in college athletics to make sure your coach has enough years left on their contract to make recruits feel like they're coming to a stable program. It's just how it works.If he didn't earn it then it wasn't necessary. And missing out on bowl games isn't earning it. What was necessary is for someone to put a fire under Johnson's backside and send an actual message that losing seasons and missing bowls isn't acceptable. Instead the opposite happened. Our AD acted like we made the championship game last year, allowed Johnson to scapegoat another DC, and in general mad every excuse he could for the recent failures in our football program.
The beer garden with downtown views would be a hit with millennials. It will get the young whippersnappers to the games.
Great article by Ken, for you Johnson haters you best hope TStan doesn't come through with the support he's talked about with PJ! PJ's going to be at Tech a long time!
similarly, all the Johnsonians better hope we start winning because we're running out of excuses!
I wonder if Adidas has some nice Johnsonian swag?Shouldn't Tech fans who aren't "Johnsonians" hope we start winning?
C'mon man. Pull for the team not against the coach.

The DCs we have had, at least by their performance, needed nobody else to scape their goat.If he didn't earn it then it wasn't necessary. And missing out on bowl games isn't earning it.

Not all of them but a boatload of them.Someone knows the building code.
Funny you think that since there’s only one fan who is scheme first school second and he’s very up front about that.I always pull for the team unlike most of the Scheme First, School Second crowd. I don't hate Johnson - I just hate losing.
Nothing much better on a crisp Saturday afternoon than being in a stadium full of home team fans while enjoying an adult beverage , or three.The beer garden with downtown views would be a hit with millennials. It will get the young whippersnappers to the games.
That's... a really, really good idea. Who's got a few million to donate to make it happen?Replacing half of the upper north with a drinking deck would be huge. Take advantage of those awesome downtown views
What do you think we have when the gaggers visit BDS?I don't think having a bunch of drunks a 100 feet in the air with a 4 foot railing separating them from the pavement is such a great idea.
