Anyone received their Georgia Tickets for next weekend? They’ve often been paper tickets but on my account I see the tickets but say they’re not available until 48 hours prior to the game. I’m not able to go and have 6 in 103 I’m trying to get rid of but need to know what the deal is. Got some folks on here waiting on a response about it these tickets

The man is everywhere!!!!!!

Tonight on 680 or your local GT affiliated station. It was moved up so it wouldn’t conflict with hoops tomorrow.

I looked back at our ACC preseason ranking by the media: If you have forgotten that lovely, here it for both divisions:

Atlantic Division finish​

1. Clemson - 1,080 (111)

2. NC State - 959 (44)

3. Wake Forest - 783 (6)

4. Louisville - 591

5. Florida State - 509 (2)

6. Boston College - 469 (1)

7. Syracuse - 201

Coastal Division finish​

1. Miami - 1,036 (98)

2. Pitt - 911 (38)

3. North Carolina - 823 (18)

4. Virginia 667 (6)

5. Virginia Tech - 592 (3)

6. Georgia Tech - 343 (1)

7. Duke 220


I was curious about our current standing in the ACC Coastal.


Our ACC schedule is complete, and the other Coastal teams have one more to play.

It looks to me that we could possibly end up tied for 2nd in the (weak) Coastal with a head-to-head win over #1 UNC. Is that correct?

Minds RIGHT

We upset the bull pups and then LSU beats them and they’re done!

I need you to hate the Dwags like most of you hate your livers.

From the release

Turned in one of the most dominant performances by an ACC defensive lineman this season in Saturday’s 21-17upset of No. 13 North Carolina, racking up three sacks, four tackles for loss and seven total tackles • Became the only ACC player and one of just eight FBS players this season with three sacks, four TFL and seven total tackles in a game • Only the fifth ACC player in the last five seasons and the first Georgia Tech player since current Los Angeles Charger Jeremiah Attaochu in 2013 (versus Georgia) to post those numbers • White led a Yellow Jacket defense that had six quarterback sacks and recorded 12 total TFL while holding UNC to season lows for points, total offense and passing yards.

Do you think Key and Batt might be able to get TC back here? I realize he is at Tex likely under contract but any chance this is part of the discussion. I think TC is a future HC at a P5 program. Would love to see his recruiting prowess back in the fold. I think he got very frustrated with collins lack of cahones and shallow talk. He saw what was happening. Any thoughts?

2017 GT football is quickly approaching

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech defensive end Keion White (Garner, N.C./Garner H.S./Old Dominion) added to his list of accolades for his performance in last Saturday’s win over No. 13/11 North Carolina when he was named the Bednarik Award Player of the Week on Tuesday. The Bednarik Award Player of the Week honors college football’s top defensive performer.



White earned the recognition by turning in perhaps the most dominant performance by an Atlantic Coast Conference defensive lineman this season to help key Georgia Tech’s 21-17 win the Tar Heels.



The redshirt senior registered three sacks, four tackles for loss and seven total tackles in the Yellow Jackets’ victory, becoming the only ACC player and one of just eight NCAA Division I FBS players to record as many as three sacks, four TFL and seven tackles in a game this season. He is the first Yellow Jacket to accomplish the feat since current Los Angeles Charger Jeremiah Attaochu did it against Georgia in 2013.



Making White’s performance even more impressive is that it helped Georgia Tech stymie one of the nation’s top offenses in North Carolina, and its quarterback, Heisman Trophy candidate Drake Maye. Led by White, Tech sacked Maye six times and recorded 12 total TFL as a team while holding UNC to season lows for points (17), total offense (365 yards) and passing yards (202), which were 23 points, 140 total yards and 139 passing yards below the Tar Heels’ season averages coming in.



On Monday, White was named the ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week for the first time in his career.



White and the Yellow Jackets (5-6, 4-4 ACC) close out the regular season on Saturday when they travel to archrival and top-ranked Georgia (11-0, 8-0 SEC). Kickoff for “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” is set for noon at UGA’s Sanford Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

Tip-off shortly

So as powerful of an offense as UNC is supposed to have, we really did a good job limiting them. What's even more impressive is how we did it... 10 total plays accounted for 80% of UNC's offense. Ten. They had 6 passes of 30 attempts that led to 158 of their 202 passing yards (78%), and 4 of their 33 rushes led to 131 of their 163 rushing yards (80%). So the other 53 of their total 63 plays amounted to 76 total yards. Kudos to Thack and the defensive players for a great game plan and executing it.

Is it harder to establish relationships with coaches, AA staff, or high level boosters. Which is the easiest to stay in communication or how would you rate each type of contact and the actual real information that ends up checking out. This can be an in-general or GT specific question answered or both.

KQ- This is an interesting question out of the box. The answer is the athletic association staff because the nature of their job and my job are sort of at odds and they have less of an incentive to talk to me. The ones who get it and are really good at their jobs cultivate the relationship thought like D-Rad did or others in my career who I am still friends with to this day. I'm been fortunate to get to know and become friends with a lot of high-level boosters at GT and other programs I've cover(ed) over the years as well that are still close relationships and the coaching things goes on forever. I still talk to people and text with coaching friends I have not seen in person in years and years. I think most of them like how I handled things and tried to walk a tough line as someone who has to be a reporter and also run a message board as well. In a bigger market, I would likely be in more of one bucket or another and less of the blurred lines of being a beat writer/commentator/columnist/board personality.

Is it crazy to think Techs ceiling (this is obviously not how it’s played out to date) is actually higher in the NIL world than previously?

Reason being, the blue bloods have had bagmen paying the elite guys forever. There’s more money now, but there are diminishing returns at some point.

Tech is certainly not lacking in rich alumni, but for whatever reason theyve always wanted to play by the rules a bit more. If there was a great plan in place, could Tech tap into that and really get some juice flowing? Not to recruit at a top 10 level, but maybe top 25 and keeping our best players around?

KQ- I think GT can use the portal and NIL to their advantage in a big way once everything is funded properly. GT has never had the benefit of guys who write stupid large checks with their heart only like TAMU or other SEC programs so it is taking longer to get it going and I think there were people rightfully trying to do things in a compliant manner and that bit GT a little bit this past offseason, but I think if you have the right culture and are building toward something it becomes a very valuable tool to recruit to. At GT though it will primarily be a retention and grad transfer tool due to the nature of the school and the difficulty getting transfers in who are not early underclassmen.

If Chadwell is indeed our man (!!!) has Batt put out feelers about what this would do to generate money? I can see going over $5M pretty easily for the current campaign once the hire is announced.

KQ- Not being a dick here, but is this a serious question or just an attempt to phish?

Maybe a dumb question, but GOL left in December 2001. The upper north wasn’t completed until summer of 2003. Was there no way to press pause or adjust the project considering it was primarily being done to appease the coach that had already bolted? Could some or all these years of money problems have been avoided?

KQ- No clue, maybe someone on here can explain how it was funded and what the plan was. I was still in college during all of that.

If you were J Batt what are some small but immediate changes you could make to help GTMBB? Is the simplest fix for now just hiring more staff? Understanding that finances are bad and all eyes are on football, it’s still alarming to read multiple fans report that they can’t get a callback when trying to purchase tickets or donate money to the #2 sport at the school.

KQ- The biggest thing is getting Pastner like $500-750k to get NIL rolling and allow him to go find one or two missing pieces in an offseason and retain what they have. That ceiling to get there is low and one guy can make the difference between 4-5 extra wins in basketball.

I’ve seen Suddes mentioned in a few threads and I had forgotten about him. Can u speak to his time at GT. Was he responsible for some of these recruiting misses and the lack of OL? What about his relationship with HS coaches and his overall reputation in general.

KQ- Suddes was always great to RJ and me. RJ can speak more to the recruiting piece and his rep in the recruiting world. The plan as far as scholarship distribution and how they were going to do things was mainly Collins however and the path to take transfers over HS kids at some spots like OLs was also a Collins push as he wanted to change body types fast rather than trying to work with the Charlie Clark/Mikey Minihan/Connor Hansen types.

What do you have to pay Jamey Chadwell?

KQ- I would think he would command north of $3 million per season because that just seems to be the low-end base pay now for a P5 coach.

Are we currently recruiting any big men for 2023? Franklin and Rodney both gone after this year and we keep missing on transfers so seems like HS would be a safer route to try?

KQ- Rodney is not gone after this year, he is technically a R-Jr. this year and has already spoken about possibly coming back to me. Yes they are looking at big men, but after missing out on Michael Nwoko to Miami, Pastner isn't going to just throw a random big offer out there. They also have Cyril Martynov who just signed and Jordan Meka so they have three big men back next year plus Jalon Moore who is a hybrid 3/4/5 type. I would expect them to make another run at a portal guy at the 5.

Since the firing of GC3 we haven’t seen a mass exodus to the portal minus two guys who had worked out a weird RS deal with the previous HC. Does retaining Key at HC maintain stability and lead to less people transferring or do you see it being similar regardless of who the next HC is?

KQ- Yes, there will be guys who leave anyway, but the important ones seem to be locked in on Coach Key and that would help keep the core of the defense and some key offensive guys in place.

Who are the players you expect to see hit the portal come December (ranked in order of impact loss to program)? And of those players, do you think any would change their mind and remove themselves from the portal?

KQ- So two things on this, one is I'm never going to speculate on who might leave, that is incredibly disrespectful to the player, his family and the coaching staff at GT. Secondly, there is no way to know beyond a handful of names of guys who don't matter as much who I think might leave because who leaves will be based on the hire, the system fits, and other factors I can't even guess at yet.

It's been a few years and sorry if you've answered this before...what the heck happened with Will Bryan's playing time at the end of his tenure?

KQ- It seems like so long ago it is not worth digging back up, but for whatever reason Sewak seemed to have an issue with Will and kind of shit on him. It was sort of that simple. Will was a polite kid and didn't push back like others did and that probably cost him playing time per the people around the program at the time.

How is his dad doing? Do you keep up with them?

KQ- I got a text when Collins got fired from Mac. I hadn't heard from him for a while, but he is doing well. He is a grandpa now.

I know you weren’t covering GT at the time but do you know who some of the big names in 2007 when CPJ was hired? You have said GT hasn’t had a home run hire since Bobby Ross. It just made me wonder who were some of the guys that they could of had. Thanks for all you do, KQ!

KQ- So from what I remember and what people have said on here and what I've heard it was Rick Neuheisel who was on the Baltimore Ravens staff after getting fired from Washington for NCAA issues and late sued and won, but he was considered sort of a dangerous hire and it proved to be accurate when he failed at his alma mater UCLA. Will Muschamp the DC at Auburn at the time was in the mix and according to Paul Johnson the other was David Cutcliffe. Johnson told me he had offers from GT and Duke and that Cutcliffe got the one he turned down at Duke. I'm sure there were other people that D-Rad looked at.

Makes a lot of sense.


Press release




GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Virginia at Virginia Tech football game scheduled for Saturday, November 26, has been cancelled. The decision was made following communication between the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia and Virginia Tech athletic department administration.



The ACC and Virginia Tech continue to support UVA following the devastating tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of three members of the Cavalier football team – Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry, and injuries to students Mike Hollins (also a Virginia football student-athlete) and Marlee Morgan.

DL feasted on UNC's OL and Tech's pass pro had a great day.

Dare I venture to say, he's got some Morgan Burnett to his game. I wonder how much Scooter going away has allowed him to blossom and play loose.

He said his team doesn’t grasp the rivalry as much as they should.
Via Dash from the UGA site


“Our kids don't know that history. They don't know the history of this rivalry and what goes into it. It was a big rivalry, what it was like during Paul's (Johnson) years here, because of the triple option and playing something different and the physicality of the game, you know,” head coach Kirby Smart said. “I think educating our players on that is important, so they understand it, because it means a lot to our players in terms of what they want to achieve, and they’ve got to win this game to achieve those things.”

Opening Lines:
UGA -33
JMU -12 over Coastal

Both games at Noon. Will be crazy on here around 3:30. Lol

Go **** yourself. I’ll happily buy your fandom going to see a Brent Key coached team that you won’t show up for. Just let me know how many season tickets that is.

Line y’all’s pussy ass up and let me know how many tickets I got to buy to support this guy. Yeah he’s a Tech man! I want him!

"This correspondent admitted last week he doesn’t know if there’s a Mr. Right for Tech. After a bit more cogitation, the thought occurs: The past seven games stand as evidence that the Jackets don’t need a sleek offense or a buzzy catchphrase as much as they need someone who can coach football. Brent Key can coach football."
