OT: Thanksgiving Turkey

Thought I would ask if anyone else does just a turkey breast for thanksgiving? I usually smoke a turkey breast and was wondering if anyone had recs for where they get their boneless turkey breast. I have previously just used the butterball from Publix but if anyone knows of a butcher that sells them this time of the year, would love to give it a try.

GTWB: Dani Carnegie Tabbed ACC Co-Rookie of the Week

Yellow Jacket freshman averaged 17.5 points per game last week


THE FLATS – Georgia Tech freshman guard Dani Carnegie earned Atlantic Coast Conference recognition on Monday, being named ACC Co-Rookie of the Week after helping the Yellow Jackets to a pair of wins. It marks Carnegie’s first weekly conference honor of her career. She shares the honor with Notre Dame’s Kate Koval.

Carnegie has made an impressive debut to her collegiate career through four games as a Yellow Jacket, scoring in double-figures in every outing. She currently leads the team in scoring, averaging 16.5 points per game, and from three-point distance.

Last week, Carnegie helped lift Georgia Tech to wins over West Georgia and in-state rival, Georgia. Against West Georgia, Carnegie led Tech with a team-high 15 points for her third-straight game leading the Jackets offensively. She hit the mark behind six field goals, including three triples. On Sunday, the freshman recorded her first 20-point outing, scoring 20 points in 30 minutes of playing time against Georgia. She hit four three-pointers to help lift Tech to an 83-67 victory over the Bulldogs.

In the ACC, Carnegie currently leads all freshmen in scoring, three-point field goal percentage and three-point field goals made. Overall, Carnegie ties for fourth in the league in three-point field goals made, owning a team-best 12 on the young season.

The ACC Player of the Week honors were also shared this week between Florida State’s Makayla Timpson and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo.

Georgia Tech returns to action taking part in the Hawaii North Shore Showcase. The Yellow Jackets open the tournament against South Dakota State on Saturday, Nov. 23.

OT: Tough times for Dell at Ga State

Login to view embedded media
6 game losing streak and probably has the most talented roster Ga State has had, or close to it. Tough times, but reality setting in for Dell is probably a bit sobering. They just dont have the support. He is speaking the truth here.
On the other hand, Dell will be a good staff addition to our staff when this doesnt work out in the end lol.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING Full update story on Hicks...

Sounds like the Jackets are making a legit push to flip him and Hicks is definitely receptive to it coming off the visit for the big upset win over Miami.

Batt Appointed as Chairman of College Football Hall of Fame


Georgia Tech AD to lead Hall’s Board of Trustees


THE FLATS – Georgia Tech director of athletics J Batt has been appointed as chairman of the board of the College Football Hall of Fame, Hall president and CEO Kimberly Beaudin announced on Friday.



“We are honored to welcome J Batt as chairman of the board for the College Football Hall of Fame. J joined the Board of Trustees in 2023 and has been unwavering in his support of our work,” Beaudin said. “We are confident that under J’s guidance, the Hall will continue to thrive as a national institution, inspiring fans and honoring the legends of the game.”



Batt, who has served on the Hall’s board of trustees since August 2023, is the sixth chairman of the board since the College Football Hall of Fame moved to Atlanta in 2014. He replaces longtime Regions Bank executive Bill Linginfelter as chair.



“I’m humbled and honored to be asked to serve as the chairman of the board of the College Football Hall of Fame,” Batt said. “Having the College Football Hall of Fame here in Atlanta – the Capital of College Football – is a great point of pride for our entire community. Having it stand less than a mile from our campus is especially impactful for Georgia Tech, as our Institute’s past, present and future is interwoven in the fabric of college football.”



Batt came to Atlanta as Georgia Tech’s director of athletics in October 2022. In two years under Batt’s leadership, the Yellow Jackets have qualified for back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 2013-14, entered into a historic multi-decade partnership with Hyundai that provides transformative revenue for Tech athletics, and, last month, announced the $500 million Full Steam Ahead initiative to achieve the Jackets’ goal of competing for championships at the highest level in the next era of intercollegiate athletics.



Tech athletics has already raised nearly $300 million towards the $500 million initiative, which will fund a renovation of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field (home of Georgia Tech football), a revamp of the Zelnak Basketball Center and a modernization of O’Keefe Gym (home of Tech volleyball).



Batt came to Georgia Tech after serving as executive deputy A.D., COO and CRO at Alabama from 2017-22. His stops as an athletics administrator also include East Carolina, Maryland, James Madison, William & Mary and his alma mater, North Carolina. He was a member of the 2001 NCAA champion men’s soccer team at UNC, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass communications and a master’s degree in sports administration.
