Anyone shocked?

Story on the #GaTech win over Penn State in Madison Square Garden 82-81 on Saturday afternoon to start a long 4-game stretch on the road that will cover NYC to Hawaii for the Yellow Jackets through Christmas Eve.

Good evening.

As you likely already know, this is a very busy time of year for recruiting. Coaches are all over the country, and my phone goes off pretty much non-stop from about 5:30am-2am on a daily basis.

With that being said, today, 14 years ago, my wife and I started dating. Today, we went to celebrate, and all hell broke loose. I'm talking literal chaos with three kids and food involved.

Now that everyone is calmed down, and getting ready for bed, I'm going to do my best to spend the rest of the evening with my wife, and live in the moment that is this life God has blessed us with.

This week's Q&A will take place on Sunday night, at 8:30pm.

I'm hopeful on the last Q&A before the early signing period we can continue to break records. Before you ask, yes, the earlier time is to ensure I am awake.

Love y'all.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference and the Charlotte Knights have announced that the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship will return to Truist Field in Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 21-26, 2024.



“We are incredibly excited that the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship will return to the city of Charlotte, the new home of the ACC,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “The Charlotte Knights, in conjunction with the Charlotte Sports Foundation, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and Visit Charlotte, continue to be outstanding partners and we greatly appreciate their support of the league and our member institutions. Our student-athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and fans enjoyed a tremendous experience during the 2021 and 2022 ACC Baseball Championships, and we know that will only continue as we look forward to this year’s event.”



The 2024 event will be the ACC’s 50th Baseball Championship and the 26th played in the state of North Carolina. The event’s return to Charlotte will mark the third time in four years that the ACC’s champion will be crowned in the Queen City. Duke won the 2021 championship, while North Carolina claimed the 2022 title. Previously Wake Forest (2000) and Georgia Tech (2001) also won the ACC Baseball Championship in the Charlotte area, with both tournaments being held in Fort Mill, South Carolina.



Nearly 59,000 fans attended the 2022 ACC Baseball Championship in Charlotte, which ranks as the fifth-highest attendance in tournament history. North Carolina defeated NC State in front of a sellout crowd of 10,500 to claim the 2022 ACC Baseball Championship, the largest crowd to attend an ACC Championship Game.



“The Charlotte Knights are looking forward to hosting the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship at Truist Field in Uptown Charlotte,” stated Dan Rajkowski, Charlotte Knights Chief Operating Officer. “We would like to thank the ACC for its continued commitment in bringing this week-long collegiate baseball event to our region. We are also very thankful for the continued support from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, as well as our great partners at the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and the Charlotte Sports Foundation.”



“We can’t wait to welcome ACC baseball fans to Uptown Charlotte in 2024,” said Danny Morrison, Executive Director of the Charlotte Sports Foundation. “Truist Field is a first-class venue and the ACC, Knights, CRVA, and other partners will put on a fantastic event.”



All-Session passes for the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship are on sale now, with prices beginning at $170 for field box and $225 for club seats. Existing Charlotte Knights season ticket holders will receive a discounted rate for the ACC Baseball Championship and will also have opportunities to purchase the same seat as Knights games.



Located in Uptown Charlotte, Truist Field opened in 2014 and is the host facility for the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The stadium hosted the 2016 Triple-A All-Star Game and has been the site of more than 25 collegiate baseball games. The stadium’s capacity is 10,200, and it has hosted more than four million fans since opening just under 10 years ago.



ACC Network will carry all games played Tuesday, May 21, through Saturday, May 25. ESPN’s family of networks will carry Sunday’s Championship Game. The network will be announced at a later date.



Last season, eight ACC teams were selected to compete in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, which marked the seventh year since 2010 that at least eight ACC teams landed spots in the field. The ACC has placed at least six teams in the NCAA tournament for 19 straight years. A total of 107 ACC teams have earned NCAA bids in the last 14 tournament years. The 14 current ACC baseball teams have a combined 101 Men’s College World Series appearances.



Additionally, the ACC has placed at least one team in each of the last 17 Men’s College World Series in Omaha, including Wake Forest and Virginia in 2023.



Fifty-four ACC players were selected in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, including 12 on opening night. It marked the 32nd consecutive year at least one ACC player was selected in the opening round and the eighth straight year the ACC placed at least one draftee among the top 15 picks.

FSU fans are going nuts over this on Twitter. It does beg the question, are the ACC and the Big 12 gonna be treated like G5 school now?

Do we hang #4 in the rafters now?

Greetings from MSG as GT gets ready to face Penn State.

I coached at Mines for a while so I was rooting for them, but man, Harding runs the flexbone to perfection and it’s a thing of beauty. First team in ncaa history to rush for over 6000 yards in a season

THE FLATS – Back on the winning track as it begins a long stretch of games away from home, Georgia Tech travels to New York City to take on Penn State of the Big Ten Conference at 12 p.m. Saturday in Madison Square Garden.

Tech (5-3) returns to action after a week off for fall semester final exams, having defeated Alabama A&M, 70-49, last Saturday at home. The Yellow Jackets have won three of their last four games, having also knocked off No. 21 Mississippi State, 67-59, in the ACC/SEC Challenge and No. 7 Duke, 72-68, in its Atlantic Coast Conference opener.

Penn State (5-5) also has had a week off after its 83-80 Big Ten Conference victory at home over Ohio State last Saturday, which snapped a five-game losing streak. The Nittany Lions started their season with four straight wins, then lost three times in the ESPN Events Invitational and its Big Ten opener against Maryland.

Saturday’s game will be televised live on the Big Ten Network with a live stream available on FoxSports.com. 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 the SiriusXM app and SiriusXM channel 106 or 193.

THE TIP-OFF

• Tech is playing a game at Madison Square Garden for the first time since 2017 post-season National Invitation Tournament, in which the Yellow Jackets knocked Cal Bakersfield in the semifinals and lost to TCU in the championship game. The Yellow Jackets are 18-8 all-time in the arena.

• Tech does not play at home again until Jan. 6 vs. Boston College. That’s 27 calendar days between home games, the most for the Jackets since the 1986-87 season, when they went 43 calendar days between home games (Dec. 1 vs. Penn to Jan. 14 vs. North Carolina A&T). Tech plays its next four games away from Atlanta, traveling to New York Dec. 16 to play Penn State at Madison Square Garden, and Honolulu, Hawai’i to compete in the Diamond Head Classic, Dec. 21-24. After the New Year, Tech goes to Tallahassee to resume its ACC schedule Jan. 3 at Florida State.

• The Penn State game concludes a stretch of five games out of six against power conference foes - Cincinnati (Nov. 22), Mississippi State (Nov. 28), Duke (Dec. 2) and Georgia (Dec. 5), Penn State (Dec. 16).

• Tech is guaranteed to face five non-conference opponents that won 20 or more games in the 2022-23 season, including four that played in the post-season. Mississippi State (21-13), Penn State (23-14) and Howard (22-13) all played in the NCAA Tournament last season, while Cincinnati (23-13), a new member of the Big 12, reached the quarterfinals of the NIT. UMass Lowell (26-8) finished second in the America East Conference. The Yellow Jackets potentially could play two more 20-win teams in the Diamond Head Classic, with a possible game against Hawai’i (21-11) in the second round and TCU (22-13) in the final round.

• Tech has yet to play a game with its full complement of 13 scholarship players due to injury. Senior guard Lance Terry, Tech’s second-leading scorer last season, has been sidelined the entire season, while freshman forward Baye Ndongo missed the first three games.

• Tech has started two freshmen - forward Baye Ndongo and point guard Naithan George - in its last four 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.

In 2023 JOL has reached new heights in terms of coverage and seeing hints of future success under new leadership within the Georgia Tech athletics programs.

The site has grown tremendously but Kelly and Russell both invest heavily in the product and this GoFundMe is a chance for fans to give a holiday bonus to their favorite Tech reporters and show some holiday cheer. We've crushed it with coverage for 2023 and have big plans for 2024 so if you feel like sharing a little holiday cheer our way would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

KQ and RJ

Crazy.
From master recruiter to NFL head coach

Given where some of the discussion about Tre Alexander went, interesting to see that the Yale TE prospect who'll be visiting is from....













SLC Utah.

Hope we land him!

other programs are in pursuit but he tells us it's down to GT or sticking with BYU

Not a shocker.
