We gonna win one for my bro tonight. He went to be with the lord on Monday at 42. It was sudden and shocking. He went to GT for 2 years 2000-2001 was in the band for a year. Followed my father who was a 67 grad. He was a bigger Gt fan than most anyone I know. I have peace knowing he’s with Jesus. We were planning to come tonight before. Give ‘em hell tonight jackets!

Yellowjackets only; please don’t sell these tickets. DM me if you need ‘em.

Now I’m bored with them. Lol

It’s game day! Meaningful football in November! We can get to a bowl today! Night game! So much to be excited about coming from where we were with scooter.

The former Auburn commit expected at Georgia Tech this weekend:

SERVPRO First Responder Bowl
Gerald J. Ford Stadium (Dallas)
5:30 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Bonagura: Texas Tech vs. Georgia Tech


Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl
Yankee Stadium (New York)
2:15 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Schlabach: Georgia Tech vs. Rutgers
Palm: Georgia Tech vs. Rutgers



Not sure of any others so far.


On a side note, the ACC already has 8 bowl eligible teams. GT and VT could easily get their 6th wins, and Syracuse still plays Wake so they could as well.

The former CPJ walk-on WR from Cartersville, RB Clyburn is doing well in the golf realm. Near seeing a former GT guy doing well

Who all tailgates in W21 again?

THE FLATS – Ludacris, one of the world’s most recognizable hip-hop artists and entertainers, will be the featured performer at Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai prior to Georgia Tech football’s regular-season finale versus archrival Georgia on Saturday, Nov. 25.



Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, who has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad,” is no stranger to the Georgia Tech-Georgia rivalry as an Atlanta resident and graduate of Atlanta’s Banneker High School. He will take the stage on North Avenue right in front of Tech Tower Lawn immediately following Yellow Jacket Alley, Georgia Tech football team’s gameday arrival at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.

Final Stats

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Kayla Blackshear

converted a three-point play with 44 seconds in the game as Georgia Tech stormed back inside Tudor Fieldhouse for a 78-75 victory over Rice on Thursday evening. Five Yellow Jackets finished in double-figures, led by Blackshear with 21 points, to lift the Jackets to victory.

After falling behind by as many as 17 points, Georgia Tech (3-0) climbed back in the second half. With less than two minutes to play in the third quarter, trailing 60-47, Inés Noguero hit a triple to jumpstart a 7-0 run by the Jackets to finish the frame and slice the score to 60-54.

Tech would finish the comeback, outscoring the Owls (2-2) in the fourth quarter, 24-15. The Yellow Jackets and Owls traded baskets back-and-forth to open the final period before D’Asia Thomas-Harris hit a jumper at the 6:00 minute mark to close the gap to 67-65.

and Noguero combined for an 8-2 spurt, fueled by two three-pointers, to knot the game at 73-73 with 2:02 to play.

Noguero capped the offensive spurt from the Jackets with two free throws with 14.4 seconds on the clock, setting up the final 78-75 score.

Zamari Walton fell to 0-5 against UGA in his career he was okay 66.3 PFF against the Dawgs.
Akelo Stone 62.4 PFF in 22 snaps against UGA not great not bad
Jared Ivey however 30.8 PFF in 30 snaps with a 30 run defense grade!

The Average to Decent:
Chico Bennett (UVA) 67.5 PFF in 50 snaps against Louisville two QB hurries and 7 total tackles

Here are a few gifs i decided to breakdown to give an idea of what happened on field vs. Clemson. These are used to give others a different perspective on how to watch football. I don’t do this to disparage players or coaches, but to give insight to GT enthusiast on what I’ve learned as a player and avid football fan.

Very disappointing performance. Not only physically but some guys mentally were not ready for the task at hand. Looking at some clips had me thinking guys were buying into the hype and that they could roll their helmets out on the field get a win vs. down Clemson squad. Reality set in quick fast and in a hurry. Not going to
hold you long bc this was depressing



Great tonesetter for the game. Inside zone pressing the LOS and a burs thru hole. Nice reach block by Weston Franklin and good vision by #11 Haynes seeing the hole in the backside A-gap. The game plan should’ve consisted more of this imo



Appeared pretty early on that #10 King was a bit off and he felt the presence of the Clemson defense. The motion indicates it’s man coverage and we are running double slants. I thought as soon as King feet was set, he could’ve hit the outside slant for a big gain, yet he pulls it down and takes the sack



Another great run by #11 Haynes and more great blocking by Franklin and Scaglione



This play represents why our defense is in the bottom in nearly every stat. Focus on the tackle.
One of the foundational of team has to be good aggressive tacklers. This head down, stopped feet and not bring your hips/legs must stop



We are in Cov 4. The WLB #13 Moala is responsible for curl/FLAT. The RB immediately goes to the flat on wheel. That should trigger the Moala to cover this route and meet it at LOS or at least stop it from getting a the 1st down. This a lack of understanding the situation

@Boger2337 Zeek is still reading your comments


great job Zeek taking on the double team and make himself thin to beat the double and force a sack



Great leverage here by Zeek to get in the backfield for the tfl


Absolutely poor effort by #7 Lane here. Always be that hammer and not the nail. The Frosh absolutely destroy Lane that the play






Same defensive call and yet the same results. There is a few things wrong here and prime example of not know the defense. 1) the Backers can shade to the right due the safety coming down as the force/contain defender 2) we have 2 pulling Ol to the right and both of our LBs go left. Because of that, the lb can’t come of the but and make the take





How to blitz: Hit it from with and hope your disguise can free you up like this


how not to blitz i have no clue why Effort went left when the gap is right in front of him. One mistake there cost us a TD



Textbook Coverage by Terrell but you would think with the chemistry King & Singleton possess, that King would throw this as back shoulder around the 13yd line since Terrell has him stacked and over the top

What a story. Thought it hit home with the mention that undergrad applications went way up along with the school’s profile and pride in the school. Something, finally, that is understood at Georgia Tech.

I know Andy isn’t everyone’s favorite but I really enjoy his Inside the Chart series. Especially this one on Dylan Leonard.
