2016 G.T. Football(incldg. late previews, incoming freshmen, fall camp, articles, et al.)
- Thread starter Buzzforlife
- Start date
CPJ getting a smart one in, I had to laugh(old dog, old tricks-not speaking of Ginger mind you):
The game means a lot more to me than if we were playing at B.C.
Not only the opener(and as GTJT has pointed out, like the Volleybees, the start of our sports year), but for me with a "rich" Irish and Scottish heritage, it means more. Not that I would know any of those relations, and definitely too "poor" to ever visit.

The #1 revenue sport at G.T. with the most interest...and you have to admit, the helmet far exceeds the one used for LaCrosse:
I don't recall an official statement from ramblinwreck.com, though it is such a pathetic excuse for a website I am not surprised, but this advises we will open the '19 FB season hosting The Citadel... http://www.fbschedules.com/2016/08/georgia-tech-open-2019-season-the-citadel/
Some of the t-shirts say Georgia vs. Boston. Only lacking two important words, Tech and College.

Apologies to U.S.of America and State of Ga., but here is my favorite flag(unless a yellow smaller version is tossed on the field by an official vs. the opponent of G.T.)-
As the man said, this is digressing....but "ball control" is a very important part of life, one I take very seriously:
Won't post this in the recruiting section, but odds are Cortez Alston of Westminster is already friendly with our H.C. of Football at G.T.-
Hurling is a great sport. Watched a bunch of it while over in Ireland on business about a decade ago. 2nd fastest sport only to ice hockey.
The Irish gravitate to appreciate amateur athletes. The Hurling title played in Aviva Stadium from the different counties throughout Ireland are played by working stiffs. County Cork's team included guys I was eating lunch with at my client's site. These guys play in front of 50,000 fans in Dublin and national TV coverage, but earn an hourly wage at work during the week. Love it.
Irish (Gaelic) Football is fun to watch too. Assuming they still play it, there is an annual game between Ireland and Australia in a modified-rules game that takes in some of the Irish FB and Aussie FB rules (they are similar) for a massive game that attracts a ton of attention in the 2 countries. The huge (literally) difference is that the Irish guys are amateurs for the most part and are tiny compared to the mammoth Aussies, who are professionals. Australia naturally normally dominates the game.
Crazy side note, I wish CPJ and staff were able to make some inroads with a young Irish lad who might want to pursue American CFB. There are some good athletes who are tough as nails from that area and who may be good in CFB (ala Gotsis from Aussie Rules FB). Hey, you never know. Tech has a great reputation internationally from an academic perspective and Atlanta helps.

Hopefully, 60 degree temps. won't make for any hurling on Saturday by Tech players(should feel good after 90 degree practices that soared on up with pads, helmets and humidity):
This looks like Soccer to me, but trying to get a feel of what our team will be looking at, with the insertion of more fans, players on the sidelines and the high probability of rain:
Nice shot, bright and real football!
Here is a depth chart for both teams:

Guessing the A.D. search will have to wait, unless the committee came with him and the new hire is Irish:
