HOOPS ACC MB Parity....who had these predictions pre-season as we are 4 games in?

4 games into ACC Play...

1) Two teams would be 4-0.

Who had Clemson and Pittsburgh as either of the two? Not me.

2) Two teams would be winless at 0-4.

Who had Notre Dame and Louisville as either of the two? Not me.

3) Who had that neither UNC, UVA, or Duke would have a winning record?

Not me. All are 2-2.

FOOTBALL Notable NIL deal for returning defender..

A ton of players are tweeting about their partnerships with TheTechWay, and while for most this does not really mean much, I thought it was worth noting that Myles Sims was among the players to tweet it out.

I've reported for several weeks now that Sims was set to return, but it seems like the (not so) secret is now out.

OT: New Years Day Menu...Good Luck for this year

So we just finished our traditional New Years Day meal. This year we had Pork Chops, Collard Greens w/smoked bacon and pepper sauce, Black Eyed Peas with the same smoked bacon, and Cornbread. This traditional meal (Pork, greens, peas, and cornbread) started in the South following the Civil War after the Northern Army destroyed what they deemed were the most valuable crops....leaving the greens and peas intact. I found this good explanation of the tradition here:

In the Southern United States, eating black-eyed peas or Hoppin’ John (a traditional soul food) on New Year’s Day is thought to bring prosperity in the new year. The peas are typically cooked with a pork product for flavoring (such as bacon, fatback, ham bones, or hog jowls) and diced onion, and served with a hot chili sauce or a pepper-flavored vinegar. The traditional meal also includes collard, turnip, or mustard greens, and ham. The peas, since they swell when cooked, symbolize prosperity; the greens symbolize money; the pork, because pigs root forward when foraging, represents positive motion. Cornbread, which represents gold, also often accompanies this meal.

My humble wish for this year was for us all to have great health and wealth and for my beloved Yellow Jackets to regain their swagger and proper place in the upper echelon of college football.

Happy New Year Y'all!! Goooo Jackets!!! Sting 'em!!

HOOPS GT Hoops Notebook pre-Miami

GaTech needs a win badly and they need to end their scoring funk woes. It will be tough with #12 Miami coming to town. Deebo Coleman and Josh Pastner talk about both.

Unsigned Hype 2023

Some guys I think it’s worth taking a look at. (Updated to include a South Paulding high school duo & once Harvard bound corner)

OT:Improving GT attendance, game experience, and marketing

(I ran this by the mods btw). I would love to hear ideas and discuss how we can improve these three things listed in the title.
I was especially struck last year at how bad the game experience was (regardless of the performance on the field) - I tried to imagine a first time attendee asking themselves: why would I want to return?

I request that we observe just two limits on the conversation: 1) Let’s assume “winning is the best thing we can do to improve”attendance, etc. I don’t think anyone would argue that - so it doesn’t need to be repeated. 2) Please don’t go to “GTAA are idiots, lazy, etc”- Be specific in your criticism of BEHAVIORS, policies, strategy, priorities, but l don’t think it is constructive to attack them or assume you know motives.

I have some ideas I will post later. I would love to hear yours. Go Jackets!

FOOTBALL Buster Faulkner Offensive Principles...

Can we discuss the offense that is coming on with the new Co-OC? Does anyone have compressed games, articles, any ideas about what he brings to the table and what we may see from him next year?

I have no idea what we will be running going forward and just looking for some football conversation during this dead period.

23 season

I’m gonna start this tread because I’m curious on thoughts! Going into the off season with the new staff as well as Brent key as the head coach.

I personally believe we will go bowling. 6 wins is the low and 8 is the high. Offense will look fun to watch and the defense secondary will be the best of the best with everybody returning. Just me being optimistic as I firmly believe this will happen. Key will surprise some serious people as well as I firmly believe GT is coming and will NOT be stopped.

FOOTBALL The Bowls Are Here

A thread for sickos like me with the games on in the background

The 3:00 Cure Bowl is an excellent match for the 2nd bowl out of the chute. Both Troy and UTSA have good cases for "best G5 team"

Digression: ESPN owns like half the bowls. If we are expanding the CFP to 12, ESPN should take bowls it owns and run an NIT i.e. G5 National Championship. Even if you just keep it to the G5 champs who did not make the CFP and the best G5 teams otherwise you could do

1. Troy
2. UTSA
3. Fresno State
4. Buffalo

I'm sick enough to watch those 3 games!

BASEBALL Roster updates 1/2

Football has dominated things around here lately, but baseball season isn't too far away 👀

With that being said, here are the players currently in the portal-

Freshman Ga. OF Jayce Blalock
Freshman Va. OF Kenneth Schaedel
Junior P Xander Stephens
P Cam Clines

I'm told that these decisions were all performance-based following fall ball. Each are expected to find new homes.

The roster is still in the process of being finalized, meaning that more attrition is possible.
