Hey...

[Sean311]

Some guy is speaking on campus...thought you should know.

 

[IronJacket7]

Hey... Is it POTUS?

 

[potatohead]

Oh this thread is about to get political

 

[MidtownJacket]

Speaking at McCamish - there was a link http://www.gatech.edu/obama though not much info posted on gatech.edu

Hate the offseason. Full of crappy thread titles and stuff that has no business being in the football board. Itching to see some spring football. from all the players I've talked too workouts and coaches runs have been going smoothly. I've seen Andrew Marshall walking around in some sort of arm cast/ shoulder immobilizer. Any clue what's the deal there @Eric ?

 

[33jacket]

Who cares. Lol.

Any good football news

 

[IEEEWreck]

I hear POTUS announced that his administration will send georgia to hell before the decade is out. CPJ will be heading the effort.

I can't say personally. Too busy studying.

 

[awbuzz]

more promises on the tax payer dime????

Is he talking about how cow farts are killing polar bears and about how rational consciousness somehow emerged through a mechanical process working on stochastic variation?

 

[Northeast Stinger]

There was some kind of reference in the speech to James P. Burdell.

Lots of good recognition for Tech in the speech. High value low cost education that is world class and make opportunities available for those who work hard.

Did he really say James in stead of George? smdh

 

[John]

Moved to the lounge.

I'm certain this thread will turn political. Don't really have an issue with that other than the high potential for personal attacks once opinions are posted. Let's see how long this thread can stay open.

Please be cordial and keep personal commentary about other members' opinions to yourself.

you remind me of noam chomsky.

 

[AE 87]

you remind me of noam chomsky.

1) you don't know how much that hurts me (I'm into the cognitive linguistic critique of Noam's generative grammar theory)
2) I get why you say that though

This would have been a good day to have some prospects visit. Get to see the Campus, Facilities, and POTUS... BAM!

Yep. I watched a replay of some of the speech, and the venue and the student body, and the crowd in general, looked first class. Great diversity and a lot of sophistication presenting itself. Having all the appropriate government officials present from Governor on down plus the Obama administration official with the Tech degree, was something you might not see at another college except for an Ivy or maybe Stanford.
