Who does the ranking? Do you remember there was a time when southern teams were at a disadvantage in the ranking system?

1). Twelve teams are too many. Should be the top six with the top two ranked teams receiving a bye.
2). Bowl system after the playoffs needs an overhaul to create more attractive games and viewing.
3). Transfer portal needs a change to offer more attractive bowl games and viewing.
4). NIL contracts structured through the bowl season/playoffs to limit player opting out.

Georgia Tech is an excellent university and has always been part of why the Empire State of the south is exactly that. Atlanta and Georgia Tech are the difference between Georgia being what it is and not another South Carolina or Alabama, That said the idea that Tech is above taking student athletes who aren't academically up to the standard for traditional students at Tech is ludicrous and a crutch for under performing at Tech. I have a good friend, Tech alumnus with a Masters Degree in Math, who played football at Tech and just retired from the GT AD where he spent the last 36 years keeping GT Student Athletes academically eligible. That was his job and he was apparently good at it or he would not have made 36 years in it. He will tell anyone who will listen that the whole academic issue at Tech is blown completely out of proportion to what actually takes place. According to him the issue is not the rigor of academics, which are indeed difficult, it is the institutional support for ensuring student athletes remain academically eligible. GT spends substantially less keeping student athletes eligible than schools in similar situations. The reason is pretty dark....the alumni are pretty much in agreement that a student athlete is incapable of making progress at Tech because of the majority of student athletes backgrounds. Again, this man worked in the system and will tell anyone who will listen that there is a path at Tech for athletes to succeed academically which is nearly identical to that at state schools elsewhere. The difference is the institutional support for that path. Imagine the conversation with a single parent where you tell them their child is going to struggle academically when other schools are telling that same child that they will provide the support needed to see to it that they succeed academically. It is the height of hubris that prevents Tech from being competitive. Atlanta is about as fertile a recruiting ground as exists in the US. Atlanta metro area public and private schools prepare students to succeed in college. Many do indeed succeed at Georgia Tech which is as good a university as one can find in the world. The problem is not academic rigor, it is institutional support and parents of kids being recruited are well aware of this early on in the process....they are told their child is going to struggle, not that their child is going to have the support needed to be successful.

Most of the time when dwag fans don’t like something they just lie.

If we don’t kick our own arse. We win.

What are you doing there? Also, you really believe a few people on a message board are the equivalent of a fan base? Nice to know.

That may be the most 10rc response ever. You win the interwebs today.

And UNC absolutely sucks at football. Is that your culture?

I believe the Vol is trying to say UGA does have a culture problem. If you look far enough into it a lot of these “things” begin at Kirby’s house. Later at night without Kirby, they can become not good. Then the army of lawyers takes over.

Either way, THWG! Hope we can defend the state tomorrow.

Why would we want to add Tulane and GT when we could add a North Carolina, Florida State, Clemson, etc.?

It really depends more on where the final number of schools in conference expansion ends up. It wouldn’t have to be one or the other. Football drives the bus, GT football gives you matchups/content than can be easily sold with Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn.
GT will either end up in the SEC or BIG. BIG offers more money but most GT fans would rather play schools in the south. Thankfully now we have a school President and AD that are aligned on making Football a priority.
The SEC adding FSU, Clemson, GT, UNC, UVA, NCSU, VT and maybe Miami would pretty much stymie the BIG.

There are a few pieces missing:

-75 in a 40
-His teammate was in a sports car beside him.
-Told the police officer he didn’t know it was his teammate beside him.
-His teammate pulls over after the cop pulls this guy over telling the cop he wanted to check on him.


This guy got let off so he could play football.
