Looks like a big man that can move. Definitely an interior DL instead of a DE in my opinion.

Sounds like it's just going to be one big tailgate party. No special musical guest.


THE FLATS – Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai, Georgia Tech football’s official pregame tailgate party, will move from its traditional location on North Avenue to Tech Green in the heart of Tech’s campus for next Thursday’s home finale versus NC State. HBP’s food, music and fun begins at 3:30 p.m., four hours ahead of the 7:30 p.m. kickoff between the Yellow Jackets and Wolfpack at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.



ESPN SportsCenter – LIVE

Before Helluva Block Party even gets underway, fans are invited to make their way to the Tech Green area for a live edition of ESPN SportsCenter from 2-3 p.m. The live SportsCenter, hosted by Matt Barrie (who will also serve as play-by-play announcer for the GT-NC State game telecast on ESPN), will feature a distinct Georgia Tech flair, with appearances by special guests and more. Yellow Jackets fans are encouraged to bring signs and flags, a la ESPN’s College Gameday, to create a great atmosphere for SportsCenter on Tech’s campus.



Parking

All Georgia Tech-controlled parking areas will open at 3 p.m. Thursday for gameday parking.



Tailgating

As always, Revel XP is offering full-service tailgates for rent that will provide the ultimate gameday tailgate experience at Helluva Block Party. For more information, click HERE.



There will also be a limited number of free tailgating spots on Tech Green available on a first-come, first-served basis for fans that would like to set up their own personal tailgate parties at HBP. Please note that tailgaters must bring their own tailgating supplies for personal tailgate parties, and breakdown and return their own tailgating items to their vehicle prior to entering the stadium.



For non-tailgating fans, there will be a variety of food truck and concession options available on Tech Green during HBP, including beer and wine for sale, as well as vendors offering free food samples.



Music

Music will be playing throughout HBP, courtesy of iHeart radio.



At 6:45 p.m. (45 minutes prior to kickoff), the Georgia Tech Marching Band will close Helluva Block Party with a pregame performance.



Yellow Jacket Alley

With North Ave. remaining open for weeknight, rush-hour traffic, Yellow Jacket Alley – Georgia Tech football’s pregame arrival to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field – has been moved to Techwood Drive and Bobby Dodd Way on the north side of Bobby Dodd Stadium (click HERE for map).



The Yellow Jackets’ buses will park on Techwood Drive, just north of the intersection with Bobby Dodd Way. From there, the Jackets will walk west on Bobby Dodd Way, past the Fanning Center construction site and Callaway Plaza and enter the stadium at Gate 6.



Fans are encouraged to line the route and welcome the Jackets to the stadium beginning at 5 p.m.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Looks like UGA fans are good and pissed. They are mad they are 12 behind despite two losses to the two teams in front of them. Which is stupid. We HaVe ThE ToUgHeSt ScHeDuLe iN tHe SeC!!!!! Yet they have 2 losses. Sorry not sorry. Quality losses are not carrying much weight when there are a bunch of 1 loss teams to date.

BUT...man the SEC media blowhards are out in full force today. "The SEC has at least two more teams that would beat any of the top 9 on a neutral field by at least 7 points". Blah, blah, blah. The sports media On3, ESPN, Josh Pate, etc. all suck. I wonder if they zip up Sankey's pants when they are done. This made up "SEC grind" perpetuated by the media is annoying. Some dude from On3 is perpetuating the idea that South Carolina would win the ACC.

Sorry for the rant. Just annoyed.

Heard this on the basketball conference podcast, but did we just ruin Miami’s playoff hopes? Not sure what the tie breakers are, but Clemson has one ACC game left against Pitt this week. SMU has 3 left against BC, Virginia, and Cal, with a loss to play with since they are still undefeated. If Miami gets left out of the ACC championship game, they’d be 11-1 with a pretty weak schedule, competing for an at large bid with a multitude of 2 loss SEC teams. The committee proved last season that an extra SEC loss is more valuable to a resume than an ACC win. Will be interesting to see

My story on the #GaTech 81-62 win over Texas Southern and some updates ahead of the UGA game on Friday.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw Tiller's face on the picture that Chad from the AJC posted a few minutes ago, but I confirmed that Tiller isn't committing or signing today. They (OTE folks) said they will know more about his timeline tomorrow.

THE FLATS – A 6-3 center from Atlanta, Ga., McKayla Taylor has signed a grant-in-aid to join Georgia Tech women’s basketball in 2025-26, head coach Nell Fortner announced on National Signing Day.

“We are so excited about McKayla joining our Yellow Jacket family,” Fortner said. “She is a great addition to our core of Georgia players. McKayla brings size and athleticism immediately to our team. She has a passion to be great, which will help propel us into the future here at Georgia Tech.”

A 2024 GHSA 6A region 5 player of the year, Taylor has averaged 11.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in her three seasons at Langston Hughes High School. The local native is the No. 4-ranked center in the state of Georgia by Sandy’s Spiel and was tabbed a 2023-24 6A all-state honorable mention by the organization. She was tabbed 6A all-state second team by the Atlanta Journal Constitution in 2024 and is a two-time Atlanta Public Schools MVP (2019 and 2020).

Taylor helped Langston Hughes reach the 2023 GHSA 6A Final Four after averaging 10.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per game her sophomore season. Following the run, Taylor picked up Peach State Prep 6A preseason first team honors entering the 2023-24 season. She is a two-time team MVP at her high school and led Langston Hughes in double-doubles and rebounding her junior and senior seasons.

Hailing from Atlanta, Taylor played in the same AAU organization as current Yellow Jackets, Dani Carnegie and Chit-Chat Wright. Taylor currently owns over 500 career points and 500 career rebounds at Langston Hughes.

Georgia Tech returns to action on Thursday, welcoming West Georgia to McCamish Pavilion. Tip is slated for 7 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.

Has the performer been announced? I'm bringing my 12 year old son for his first in person brainwashing. A strong performer for a Gen Alpha could help significantly. We live 30 minutes from the mutts so I need all the help I can get!

Pretty good stuff today. I thought the big thing was right at first when he talked about how the team made sure today to put Saturday behind them. That's the approach you've got to have whether coming off a win or a loss. That's the mindset of a consistent program.

GEORGIA TECH’S BRENT KEY NAMED BEAR BRYANT AWARDS COACH OF THE WEEK


HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2024 – After leading his Georgia Tech squad to an upset win over previously undefeated and fourth-ranked Miami on Saturday, head coach Brent Key has been selected as the Bear Bryant Awards Fan Favorite Coach of the Week presented by Accenture.



In Saturday’s 28-21 win, Georgia Tech held the Hurricanes to season lows in points (21), rushing yards (88), and total offense (436 yards), also preventing the nation’s top offense from scoring a rushing touchdown for the first time all season.



Meanwhile, the Georgia Tech rushing attack rolled up 271 yards – the most against Miami all season – and clinched bowl eligibility in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2013 and 2014.



After the Yellow Jackets scored the game’s first points on a touchdown run by Jamal Haynes, Miami claimed a 10-7 lead midway through the opening quarter. However, momentum swung Georgia Tech’s way as the Yellow Jackets opened up a 21-10 advantage in the third quarter and never trailed again.



Key is now 6-1 against nationally-ranked ACC opponents during his tenure at Georgia Tech.



The selection of Key follows last week’s selection of Louisville’s Jeff Brohm, the co-selection of Texas A&M’s Mike Elko and Kennesaw State’s Brian Bohannon, Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Oregon’s Dan Lanning, Vanderbilt’s Clark Lea, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops, Tennessee’s Josh Heupel, and Washington State’s Jake Dickert. Continuing through the remainder of the regular season, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards will recognize a coach weekly for leading their team to an exceptional victory.



The American Heart Association, a global force for healthier lives for all, presents the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Awards annually to celebrate excellence in coaching, to honor Coach Bryant’s legacy and to raise awareness and critical funds for their mission. The coaching legend died from a heart attack in 1983, just 28 days after his final victory and retirement.



Fans can follow the action at facebook.com/bryantawards, x.com/bryantawards or Instagram.com/bryantawards or the hashtag #BryantAwards. To attend the exclusive, VIP experience visit bryantawards.org.
