Seems unlikely they will add anyone else for spring as of now. Take a look, still will need to see how some things like OLB/DE or the LB spots work under the new DC.

@Kelly Quinlan I am curious how close do you think this is to being semi accurate?
Found this on GTSwarms forum and thought I'd share over here.

https://nil-ncaa.com/acc/

My one wish is numbers were forced to be made public, that way competition could help boost numbers lol. That or apathy 🤣.

I'm sure there's some inside information that I'm not aware of (I don't claim to be RJ or KQ), but this is my best guess at the projected depth chart (2 or 3 deep) for the defense. I must admit I struggled a little with the secondary at corner. Not real sure about the depth there. Here it is:

Defensive End
I'm not sure how Coach Santucci will play his DEs. Could be strong and weak or Field and boundary. I've listed them as Strong and Weak. We actually have good size and playing experience here. I feel much better about our depth after doing this.
Sylvain Yondjouen (R-Sr, 6'4, 248) Eddie Kelly (Jr, 6'4, 278)
Kevin Harris (Sr, 6'4, 245) Jack Barton (R-Jr, 6'4, 265)
Josh Robinson (Sr, 6'6, 253) Shymeik Jones (R-Fr, 6'5, 283)

Defensive Tackle
Like DE, I'm not sure how Coach Santucci plays his DTs. I'm assuming he'll play a larger 3 technique with a 1 technique. I've charted them that way here. I like the 2 deep but depth after that is non-existent. Perhaps someone like Shymeik Jones could slide inside.

Zeek Biggers (SR, 6'6, 333) Makius Scott (Sr, 6'4, 291)
Horace Lockett (R-So, 6'6, 341) Ayo Tifase (R-So, 6'4, 300)

Linebacker
Really guessing here since I haven't seen most of these guys play. Feel confident that Kyle Efford has at least earned first shot at it based off his performance last year though.

Kyle Efford (R-So, 6'2, 219) EJ Lightsey (R-So, 6'2, 235)
Trenilyas Tatum (Jr, 6'1, 214) Jackson Hamilton (R-Jr, 6'0, 225)
Jacob Cruz (So, 6'4, 232) Tah'j Butler (Fr, 6'1, 215)

Safety
Someone may get moved over to safety but from what I can tell, this is the spot that needs bodies through the portal the most. Keep in mind someone from this group may be used to play the nickel spot as well.

LaMiles Brooks (Jr, 6'2, 188) Clayton Powell-Lee (Jr, 6'2, 185)
Taye Semore (So, 5'11, 203)

Cornerback
Again, this is the spot I had to guess at the most. I don't know who plays field or boundary, or if Coach Santucci even assigns spots based on that, although I bet he does. Someone from this group may also play nickel as well.

Syeed Gibbs (R-So, 6'0, 180) Ahmari Harvey (R-Jr, 6'0, 180)
Omar Daniels (R-Jr, 6'0, 176) Rodney Shelley (Jr, 5'11, 168)
Steven Jones, Jr (R-Fr, 6'1, 192) DJ Moore (R-So, 6'1, 188)


There you have it. Need immediate depth help throughout the secondary. Perhaps Steven Jones, Jr or DJ Moore can provide that, but I'd bet we go find some help from the portal. We could also use some depth at DT, but I like our first four.

Anyone who may be more informed feel free to offer corrections or suggestions!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – For the first time in the history of the event, the Atlantic Coast Conference will conduct the annual ACC Football Kickoff with four full days of interviews, July 22-25, at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown in Charlotte, North Carolina. ACC Network will provide live coverage for all four days.



With the addition of three new members in the University of California (Cal), Southern Methodist University (SMU), and Stanford, the breakdown of all 17 schools will consist of three schools on Monday, July 22, five schools each on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23-24, and four schools on Thursday, July 25.



Additional information on credentials, media schedules, student-athletes attending, and much more will be announced in the future.

Getting seven wins last year wasn’t good enough to get any response from Vegas. They have us at 5.5 wins this year according to an article that came out Feb 10. This should naturally be good bulletin board material

Thanks to our sponsor Inteleca for helping bring back Q's Take my weekly look at things around GT and college sports from my vantage.




Once again, folks didn't listen or follow the plot regarding Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. I dropped all the hints I could drop and explained the situation. However, plenty of subscribers panicked and posted, calling into question our sources, and then more panic when I answered questions seriously about the situation with Kentucky and what it would take to get him interested in the job. You all need to learn how to have nice things. Key as I've said before expects guys to move around some, take other jobs eventually and move upward because that means he is DOING HIS JOB correctly.

The entirety of the UK focus on Buster was as I said early on the fact that he was connected to their QB transfer and that was literally the only name their media could come up with. He turned down interviews for better jobs and jobs that paid on par with what Liam Coen was making at UK. Will Buster leave, yes eventually, but on his own terms more than likely and I laid out in the past the reasons why he is here and his end goal is to be a head coach somewhere. Making lateral moves or jumping from job to job won't accomplish his goal. He turned down jobs while he was at UGA because he cares about his family and has seen how that derails careers if you pick unwisely as he once did in his career with a jump. Faulkner has been locked in and recruiting for GT and there was no real smoke let alone any fire. That was all about the message boards and GT panic and UK hubris connecting to the one name they could figure out MIGHT make sense.

Ricky Brumfield was in a different situation where he is weighing an NFL opportunity. Brumfield has a son on the staff now as a GA and a pretty good setup in Atlanta and the NFL job MIGHT pay more, but the cost of living is a problem in Los Angeles. I've been told that GT will give Brumfield a bump and they already gave him more responsibility so he is staying on and will help coach DBs and special teams here for another year.

------------HOOPS--------------------------

This brings me to another point, Damon Stoudamire. Stoudamire has been NBA interest and could end up if he does well having interest from other jobs. He took this job for a specific reason and he has been very careful about the jobs he has taken because he doesn't need the money and he wants to be a successful coach just like he was a successful player.

Stoudamire is learning the ins and outs of ACC coaching and he also probably needs to tweak his staff a little bit in the upcoming offseason as well. There was always going to be a learning curve with the hire and the roster situation was not ideal coming in for him and he made some great moves like bringing in Baye Ndongo and Nait George that many people overlooked at the time to a point and missed on the guys people expected to be major contributors like Amaree Abram and Ebenezer Dowuona (I thought he was a giant stiff all along because I had insider knowledge from NCSt). They didn't have the margin of error to overcome that and Kowacie Reeves has remained what he has been his whole career streaky as hell. Miles Kelly not playing like himself on offense was a curveball that probably cost GT 3-4 wins this year and now they are in the cellar of the ACC. It was like I said from the jump, when they play well they can play with anyone, but that isn't how they play most of the time.

Stoudamire made it clear he was going to make some significant changes in the offseason personnel-wise and that should amp up the level of play. The ACC has the book on Ndongo and George now and teams are shutting them down or at least know exactly how to challenge them and make life miserable so it will be interesting to see how those two respond down the stretch.

I thought they played pretty well without Ebe and Deebo's minutes last night and the refs changed the momentum of the game with four pretty borderline foul calls that knocked Ndongo and Ty Claude out of the game.

I do think Damon needs some help on the defensive side and needs to figure out how to upgrade there both staff and personnel-wise. I actually think the offense is okay, they just don't have enough guys who can drill shots so teams are overplaying Nait, Kyle Sturdivant, or Kelly when they have the ball outside the arc. He was very much of an NBA mindset defensively when he got here and he has adjusted but that adjustment took a long time and cost GT a couple of wins early in the season and probably some confidence for his players.

The arc I'm most curious about with Stoudamire is seeing how he coaches up lesser talent. That is always something to watch with former players and guys used to the NBA. He lets his guys let it fly with expectations that they will hit a shot, but right now he doesn't have guys capable of hitting some of those shots. That is where he has to level up the talent and they've made some major strides there with commitments and the guys they are bringing in.

Stoudamire also has to probably take a little more responsibility vocally for the issues the team is having even if he doesn't believe it. I think people want to hear we didn't get it done coaching them up or whatever. That is something many coaches have to learn about the college game especially when you are asking people to give you money for NIL. Those relationships, calling people back, being available and everything else matters and unfortunately he is taking over for a guy who would return almost any phone call because Josh Pastner was a bit of a masochist and thought he could win over anyone.

I'll be really curious to see next year's squad. That to me will show the impact of coaching. I just think they lack the horses at the moment to be better than a first-day ACCT team and I've been clear that I thought the ceiling was 10th place and they are just 3 games out from that spot. Hopefully, they can get some wins on the back end.

Just curious what y'all think....I reached the max # of options for the poll or I would have added NHL playoffs, and an other's option. Just write it a response if it's not included

As you already know, the dead period is in effect, and will be throughout the entire month of February. Coaches at Georgia Tech will be all over the country vacationing with their families, while also recruiting and putting together plans for what things will look like once recruits are alllowed back on campus and spring practice is underway.

Before I get to the recruiting notes, on the coaches side of things, I am being told by a source that no decision has been made by Ricky Brumfield about whether to leave Georgia Tech for the Los Angeles Rams, or to return to GT for a second year.

Onto the world of recruiting, where I am being told that one of Fellowship Christian OT Josh Petty's first visits after things open back up will be to Georgia Tech. Petty will be joined by his mother on the trip, and is also working to finalize an official visit date. The unofficial visit date is expected to be March 15th, per source.

Sticking with Fellowship Christian, I am told that WR target Evan Haynes is planning a multi-date visit to see things during spring practice in April. Haynes is one of several recruits that Georgia Tech are going to be going head-to-head against UNC for in the 2025 cycle.

The Tar Heels' recent lack of success against GT will likely come up in conversations, I would think. Same with the potential personnel changes that could take place in Chapel Hill after this season and the personnel changes that took place this Winter.

Wrapping things up for the day, I am told that communication has continued to pick up between Georgia Tech and Tex. QB Kelden Ryan. Ryan is currently committed to Virginia Tech, but I have reason to believe that his current commitment to the Hokies is likely to mean as much in the end as Aaron Philo's commitment to Minnesota did.

From what I have been able to gather, it seems as if Ryan is either 1A or 1B in regards to the current pecking order at the QB position. Despite not yet having an offer from the school, Mill Creek's Shane Throgmartin is someone I am still watching closely, as is Antwann Hill from Houston County, if we are talking options in-state.

Ryan will be back on campus in early March, and the conversations about his recruitment with friends and people he trains with have pretty consistently ended with him talking about how excited to get to Atlanta he is.

2025 offer list to come next week, as promised.

2025 Football Offer Thread time?

KQ- I believe Russell said he wanted to do it after the Super Bowl so we are right around the time where we would start that up.

Over/Under on how many times you get asked about Buster Faulkner before Spring Practice kicks off?

KQ- Depends on if any jobs open up again. Right now I think Bama is the only one and I expect DeBoer will stick with his way of doing things and Buster doesn't make sense with that job right now.

What do you think it will take for some (most) of JOL to stop "melting" over losing and/or competing against blue bloods in recruiting battles for top recruits &/or rumors of or even losing productive coaches to other programs or the NFL? What are the negatives when we are (or will be) in these positions? Aren't these types of battles good signs for the program both in the short term & the long term? Or am I missing something?

KQ- Change is the constant in this business. The recruiting bit is the same as it has been for a long time. GT will occasionally get a Jahmyr Gibbs, but they need to live on the edges of the 4-star guys and develop hungry players into studs. That has been the recipe for success for programs like GT that do well. That is what Key is trying to build and then backfill with kids from the portal they like or have prior relationships with that maybe made a bad choice in the first school or were buried on the depth chart.

On the coaching thing, being able to identify and develop coaching talent is going to be one of the three ways Brent Key makes it at Georgia Tech. He isn't some genius Xs and Os guy by his own admission. He has to build the system, maintain the system and replace key pieces of staff or players as needed to have sustained success here and that is his goal. I think the offense was so horrendous under the MoBS that people are probably overselling Buster's market value a hair as well. He isn't Ralph, at least not yet. Both Key and Buster are ambitious guys and they each have their own plans long term, but they are on the same page about how to accomplish each of their own goals as well. As long as everyone is on the same page you are in good shape. Some of the coaching changes made recently involve people not being on the same page or being willing to work at the same level as their coworkers.

It seems no school has a HC contract that reduces the buyout if the coach gets a new gig. Why? I'm assuming it has to do with "well everyone else does not have that clause so we can't either". Is there more to it than that? I'm thinking we got burned on B*** L****, Gailey, Hewitt, and Scooter.

KQ- So schools do in fact have offsets. That is why Zach Arnett is not a DC right now somewhere. He is going to take an off the field job somewhere per my sources because of the way his offset works. Al Groh ended up as the DC here because of it. Chip Kelly is the OC at Ohio State because of how his buyout as set up at UCLA. So it just depends. A good AD will have plans for that stuff IMO if he makes the deal from a position of power. ADTS did not do that and J Batt and company are paying for his mistakes financially right now having to eat all of that having ate all of it over the last year.

Kelly, who is your favorite player on the football team?

KQ- So for me, it is more about the personality and relationship than performance, but I would say that Jamal Haynes is probably my favorite. I got to know him before he arrived at GT and I was one of the few people who kept saying he had a chance to help somewhere when people including the previous staff wrote him off. I knew the kid could play if you could find a way to get the ball in his hands.

What is our absolute biggest need from the portal? Do we have any chance at pulling someone from either UCLA or BC?

KQ- If I am Brent Key I am looking for a big defensive end to be a Keion White type. I wouldn't mind sizing up on the DL if you can add one of those and playing with two bigger DEs at a time or a really dynamic edge would also work, the opposite of that.

Did I miss the poll where someone asked for the refs to call 40+ fouls a game? The ref show was insanity and Teddy wasn’t even there…

KQ- It was truly bizarre. Chad and I were sitting under the basket on one side and in the first half they were letting a lot slide and then in the second half it was very one sided. I don't get. One of the refs was joking around with Danny Manning a lot and I found that odd as well.

Stoudamire makes it clear in most pressers that he wants tougher and more talented players, but does he realize he and the staff should also be getting more out of what they have? I hope he's learning from this season and can make whatever changes are needed beyond just the roster.

KQ- So I agree he needs to alter his messaging a little to say that they are also at fault for asking the kids to do things that clearly they cannot execute or do not have the confidence to execute. That is probably his NBA brain though where you never admit that because that gets you fired fast.

You are probably tired of this question bc I ask it several times a year. Unless I missed something, I never saw a fundraising/NIL blast go out after the UNC win.
1) Did I miss it, and if so I apologize and can you point me to it?
But if not 2) How does something like that not go out to try and entice the average fan who doesn’t normally give to drop $10 or $15 to ride the high the next day? I wonder this after every big win - Tennessee Football did something with a fun goal post fundraiser after a field storming a couple years ago and made a small fortune.

KQ- You are absolutely correct they should be sending out blasts like that. I get one from Miami or Notre Dame every time they do something because I am on their mailing lists because of parking passes for media getting lumped into their list serv. I stay on to just monitor that stuff and I've passed along some things to GT people and suggestions. I don't know enough about how their NIL is working or the details to really give you an answer as to why they are not blasting things. I will say this, when Michigan won a Natty, Ohio State got like $5 million in new donations the next day in NIL.

Any idea on when/if the analysts will be announced? Any chance there will be a war room on the hires and the big fish names we were after?

KQ- On the analyst piece that is still ongoing, it depends on the rest of the staff being finalized and there is at least one name I'll announce shortly who is someone I already know who is joining the staff and one other big hire that Key is trying to close for an analyst spot as well. Stay tuned there.

I'll do a little recap of everything that happened once every job is settled with the pros and college. There are still a lot of moving pieces right now.

THE FLATS – Looking to even the season series with Notre Dame and get in the winning column for February, Georgia Tech travels to face the Fighting Irish at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Purcell Pavilion.

Tech (10-14, 3-10 ACC) remained winless in the month of February after falling late at Louisville, 79-67, Saturday. The Jackets also lost 82-76 at NC State and 80-51 at home to Wake Forest since knocking off No. 3 North Carolina to close out the month of January. The Yellow Jackets, who have also defeated Duke and Clemson in conference play, have lost six of their last seven games and 11 of their last 13.

Notre Dame (8-16, 3-10 ACC) is in a similar place, having lost nine of its last 11. The Fighting Irish defeated Tech in the teams’ first meeting on Jan. 9, but then lost seven in a row before defeating Virginia Tech at home, 74-66, Saturday.

Wednesday’s game will be televised live on the ACC Network, with a live stream available on the ESPN app. Radio coverage is on the Georgia Tech Sports Network by Legends Sports and flagship station 680 the Fan (680 AM/93.7 FM). The Tech broadcast is also available on SiriusXM channel 383 and the SiriusXM app.

THE TIP-OFF

• Georgia Tech’s three ACC wins have come against the ACC’s three highest-ranked teams in the NCAA’s NET rankings - North Carolina (10), Duke (20) and Clemson (29).

• Nine of Georgia Tech’s 13 ACC games have been decided by single digits. Sixteen of Tech’s 24 games overall this season have been decided by fewer than 10 points, which is tied for third-most in Division I (Tech is 8-8 in those games). Nine of those by five points or fewer.

• Tech is 2-7 in true road games this season, and four of its seven remaining games are on the road.

• Tech has not won at Purcell Pavilion since the Fighting Irish joined the ACC.

• Three of the last five meetings between Tech and Notre Dame have been decided in overtime.

• Tech is 6-10 against Quad 1 and Quad 2 teams this season, with Quad 1 wins over Duke, Clemson and North Carolina and Quad 2 wins over Mississippi State, Penn State and Massachusetts. The Jackets have four Quad 1 and zero Quad 2 opponents remaining on its schedule (Notre Dame is a Quad 3 opportunity). Tech was 3-14 last season against Quad 1/2 foes.

• Miles Kelly (14.8 ppg) leads three Yellow Jackets averaging in double figures this season, including freshman forward Baye Ndongo (11.9) and junior guard Kowacie Reeves, Jr. (10.5). Freshman point guard Naithan George is just under 10 at 9.8 points per game, but averages 10.7 in ACC games.

• Kelly is now 35 points away from reaching 1,000 for his career. He would become the 48th player in Tech history to reach that milestone.

• Tech has started two freshmen - Baye Ndongo and point guard Naithan George - in its last 20 games. The Jackets have not had two freshmen in its regular starting lineup since the 2018-19 season (Michael Devoe, Khalid Moore), and have not had a freshman regularly start at point guard since Jose Alvarado in 2017-18.

• Either Ndongo or George has led Tech in scoring in nine of Tech’s last 14 games, and in seven of 11 ACC games. They have accounted for nearly a third (32.3 percent) of Tech’s points in ACC games.

• Tech’s point guard tandem of Naithan George and Kyle Sturdivant has averaged 7.1 assists per game combined, 8.6 in ACC games. Their assist/turnover ratio is 2.38-to-1 combined overall, 3.03-to-1 in conference games. Both players rank among the nation’s top 57 players in assist rate (assists divided by the field goals made by the player’s teammates while he is on the court) according to KenPom.com.

• Naithan George is the first Tech freshman since Iman Shumpertin 2008-09 to collect 100 assists in a season, surpassing the century mark last game to get to 103 for this season. He is the first freshman since Javaris Crittenton in 2006-07 to average more than five assists per game.

• Seven Tech players have scored at least 20 points in a game this season - Naithan George, Kyle Sturdivant, Deebo Coleman, Tafara Gapare, Kowacie Reeves, Jr., Baye Ndongo and Miles Kelly. It is only the second time that as many as seven different Yellow Jackets have scored 20-plus in a game during a season (2007-08).

SERIES VS. NOTRE DAME

• Notre Dame has won eight of the last 10 meetings and lead 16-13 in the all-time series. Georgia Tech’s only wins came by an 82-80 score on Feb. 6, 2021 and a 70-68 decision on Feb. 8, 2023, both at McCamish Pavilion.

• The Fighting Irish won the teams’ initial meeting in 2023-24, 75-68 in overtime on Jan. 9 in Atlanta.

• Since Notre Dame joined the ACC, the teams have split their regular season series five times, and the Fighting Irish have swept the Yellow Jackets three times. Tech has yet to sweep the Irish.

• Notre Dame is one of two permanent home-and-away opponents for Tech in the ACC. However, the teams did not play in South Bend during the 2020-21 season when the game was canceled due to COVID-19.

• The Yellow Jackets are 7-14 against Notre Dame since the Fighting Irish joined the ACC. The first 17 meetings were decided by a total of 88 points, and the widest margin of victory was 10 points by Notre Dame on Feb. 10, 2019 before the Fighting Irish scored a 34-point win (90-56) on Feb. 26 2022 in South Bend.

• The teams have played to overtime five times, three of those coming in the last five meetings.

• At McCamish Pavilion, Tech is 7-4 against the Irish (minus one 2017 win vacated by the NCAA), and the games have been decided by a total of 35 points. Tech won all three of the teams’ meetings at the Jackets’ former home court in Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

• Notre Dame has won all nine meetings at South Bend since the Fighting Irish became a member of the ACC. Tech’s last win at Notre Dame occurred Feb. 24, 1990, a Yellow Jacket team that won the ACC Championship and reached the Final Four behind the Lethal Weapon 3 combination of Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver, who combined for 64 of the Jackets’ points in that 88-80 overtime victory.

• Tech is 2-11 in games played in South Bend, and 1-10 in Purcell Pavilion.

• The Yellow Jackets won five straight meetings between the two teams from 1972 through Tech’s 74-69 victory in McCamish Pavilion on Jan. 11, 2014, the team’s first meeting as ACC foes.

Now that the Phillies are out, I can move into the offseason feeling at peace even though the season was a complete bust in my opinion. Figured we can have the postseason/offseason thread going simultaneously so any Braves talk doesn't get lost in the World Series discussion.


Sign: Jordan Hicks, Josh Hader, Pierce Johnson, Joe Jiminez
Trade: Soto (If we pick up Rosario's option for whatever reason, sign Pham. If we are insistent on a LF platoon then we can't have the platoon partner be Pillar)
Win World Series 2024


I'm not looking for realism. IMO, there are no realistic predictions on roster moves with this team as AA will generally do shit that is nowhere on anyone's radar. I think the only move he's made that folks had discussed previously was trading for Matt Olson. He was clearly the best option if Freddie wasn't retained. So, with that said...since we can't predict what AA will do or how much $$ he has available, or what their plans are...I'm going to have fun with it.

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech alumnus and Kansas City Chiefs place kicker Harrison Butker scored more than half of his team’s points and set four Super Bowl records in Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night in Las Vegas.



Butker, who played at Georgia Tech from 2013-16 and is the Yellow Jackets’ all-time scoring leader with 337 career points, kicked four field goals and scored 13 of the Chiefs’ 25 points in Sunday’s win. His four field goals tied the record for the most in a single Super Bowl and were the most since San Francisco’s Ray Wersching also kicked four in Super Bowl XVI, 42 years ago (1982).



Butker’s 57-yard field goal in the third quarter was the longest in Super Bowl history (breaking the previous record of 55, set earlier in the game by San Francisco’s Jake Moody) and his 29-yard field goal with three seconds remaining sent the game to overtime knotted at 19-19.



With four field goals on Sunday, Butker has kicked a total of nine field goals in four Super Bowl appearances (LIV, LV, LVII and LVIII), which is the most all-time, breaking previous record of seven, shared by Stephen Gostkowski (six Super Bowl appearances with the New England Patriots) and Adam Vinatieri (five Super Bowls with New England and the Indianapolis Colts). With 13 points on Sunday, Butker has now scored a total of 37 points in his four Super Bowls, which is the most Super Bowl points ever for a kicker and the second-most overall, behind only legendary 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice (48 points).



HARRISON BUTKER – SUPER BOWL RECORDS

Longest Field Goal – 57 yards (Super Bowl LVIII)

Most Field Goals in a Game (tied) – 4 (LVIII)

Most Field Goals in a Career – 9 (4 games)

Most Kicking Points in a Career – 37 (4 games)



In just his seventh NFL season, Butker also became the first Georgia Tech alum to ever win three Super Bowls, surpassing Tech alums and two-time Super Bowl champs Bill Curry (I – Green Bay Packers, V – Baltimore Colts) and Shaq Mason (LI and LIII – New England).



49ers running back and Tech alum Jordan Mason also played in Super Bowl LVIII, becoming the 39th Yellow Jacket on a Super Bowl roster.



Butker graduated from Georgia Tech in 2017 (industrial engineering) and Mason earned his Tech degree in 2021 (business administration).

Drop them below, I'll be talking about spring football, hoops and other topics

Hey, it never hurts to ask. I have been to The Masters 3-4 times over the years with friends who had passes and one time my dad got tickets through the lottery and I went with him. My wife has never been before. I have said I won't go again unless she is able to go with me. Our 15th wedding anniversary is this year, two months after the Masters, and I really want to see if there is a way I could get she and I tickets for a practice round this year. I did not get selected for the lottery (again). Obviously tournament tickets would be incredible, but practice round tickets are my hope. As a lifelong GT fan that will always cheer loud and proud for the brave and bold, is there anyone on JOL who can help me out?
