Warning: TStan called it a top 20 recruiting class. Liar.

We’ll know in four years.

Part of Stansbury impresses me and sometimes not so much. I've been impressed how well he has been able to get people to donate, but unimpressed with drawing fans to the Tech campus. The new culture idea might work attracting students and new fans, but don't run off rest of the family.

I’m pretty sure Todd regards basketball as the sport students play who can’t get in the band. Butch Jones is on his short list to replace Pastner.

I'm really interested in the master plan for BDS. I put my 2 cents in the STH survey and I encourage all of those who are STH to do so as well.

What is this Basketball you speak of ????...... Oh scratch that, I just googled college basketball... we should probably field a team in that sport. Just saying...

I’ve seen Todd working the donors at the Tit. If I were him, I’d get a chair and sit courtside and ask Josh ... “So how does this game work again?”

Sad that he has to work so hard to pinch bucks from our cheap alum. Worst job in the Southeast.

Once upon a time, Paul Johnson coached basketball. We'd probably recruit a bunch of smaller, fast players. I figure we wouldn't pass the ball much either, just dribble a lot and burn some clock. OK, I'd take Johnson over Pastner.

Overall, Pastner has been a major disappointment. Maybe he can teach current events for a year while we find someone who can actually coach?

Always interested in hearing his Canadian accent.

The comments about game day atmosphere, he said "threading the Needle". He realizes Tech needs to attract sidewalk fans. Keep the old farts. And appeal to teanagers.

And that all sports are affected by what happens on football Saturdays. Not sure what he believes will be good for Tech. But wants to be "midtown cool".

The comments about gameday music are hilarious to me. The most cutting-edge thing we've got going is classic rock karaoke from 40 years ago. Nothing gets the kids riled up like Joan Jett and Journey.

Now that you mention it, the karaoke does get the students going.

We’re in Atlanta. You can go to any club in the city and find a dj to mix on game day but we have some nerdy frat **** hooking the aux cord to his iPhone and playing some YouTube play list then abruptly taking it out when the play has already started.
We can do that!......

There is a paid DJ at the games. Pretty sure it’s CGC chosen DJ. Can’t remember his name.
