Happy Thanksgiving Y'all

(Joe Namath is probably saying, "No more pumpkin pie! I'm stuffed!" Or not.) Happy Thanksgiving. I give you one of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving traditions, Furman Bisher's "I'm thankful" column ...

Weighing The Matchups: How Georgia Tech and Georgia Stack Up

In case you were wondering, I've been writing a little bit more this week in honor of/in preparation for the Hate game on Saturday. Can't let you boys and girls go into Bobby Dodd Stadium unprepared...

The "What Could Have Been" Could Haunt Georgia Again

(How different would things be if we cut the 'Tech' off that jersey?) Recruiting college sports is a funny thing. It's a quirky thing. It's a science, but possibly the most inexact one...

Some Early Thoughts on Georgia Tech-Georgia

(Will Roddy Jones and his friends have a good day Saturday?) In the South, we take our football seriously—and there is no football more serious than a good rivalry. Bill Curry won 26 games in three years at Alabama, and he went to the Sugar Bowl...

A Look at Georgia ahead of the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate

(Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt will be looking to go 2-0 against the Bulldogs as a starter Saturday.) No Yellow Jacket football this weekend (not that I needed to tell you)—a ...

Bad Advice, Bold Prediction and Something Else: Bye Week Edition

(Without Chan Gailey, Tech never lands Morgan Burnett. Think about that.) Ah, rivalry season. It's the greatest time of year...

Bowling for Respect: SEC Postseason Picture Going To Be Revealing

(Chris Todd will be one of several signal-callers looking on with great interest at the bowl selections.) It seems like, more often than not, when somebody brings up the college bowl system, ...

Georgia Tech-Clemson Just the Medicine for ACC Title Game

(Could this rematch save the ACC Championship game?) For those who haven't been paying attention or just don't care—and it would appear there are a lot of you—the ACC Championship is celebrating its fifth birthday in December...

So Where Does Georgia Tech Go From Here?

(Jonathan Dwyer is headed there in a hurry.) Why, to Tampa Bay, of course. Oh, you meant in a more metaphorical sense? Well, good question. The answer, honestly, is up to them...

Ask and Ye Shall Receive: Jackets Give Near-Perfect Effort, Win ACC Coastal

(Paul Johnson and the Jackets have booked a trip to Tampa.) A perfect game. It has been Paul Johnson's lusted-for holy grail all season. The Jackets beat Virginia Tech, and he still found fault...

Bad Advice, Bold Prediction and Something Else: Week 11

(Yes, Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech's magic number is one.) Former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight used to explain to his teams how every game was important through a favored phrase...

A Slightly Different Take on Georgia Tech 2009

(Anybody out there receive a souvenir piece of these posts?) With two (or three) games left in Georgia Tech season and so far, just a "1" in the loss column, there's many an eye turning on North Avenue toward the possibility of a BCS title game.

Perception Is Everything, and for Georgia Tech, It Ain't Peachy

Like a good roast, I've been letting this issue stew awhile, waiting until it was just right for consumption. But with Tech just one win away from the ACC title game and two wins away from an ...

Georgia Tech: Trust Runs High, Yields Big Results for Yellow Jackets

(That's not the play Nesbitt scored on, but it sure looks like the real thing, don't it? Five yards, one needed for a first down, all five needed for a win, less than a minute to decide whether ...

College Football Week 10: Bad Advice, Bold Prediction, and Something Else

(The Jackets' defense is excited. Why? We're into BABPSE Week 10, of course.) Call it Jersey-gate 2009. Actually, please don't. Do not, under any circumstances, even think about using that term...

Georgia Tech Football: You Be The Judge

(Where, oh where, do you rank the Jackets?) It's been a long season already. Nine full weeks of headlines and heroes and other alliterative phrases I'd prefer not to discuss...

Examining Georgia Tech's Burgeoning Pass Attack

Georgia Tech Football: Is This the Final Product for the Rambling Wreck?

(From now on, you can call him "Georgia Tech's most prolific rushing quarterback" Josh Nesbitt. Because he is.) It seemed like someone was going to get embarrassed Saturday night in Nashville...

Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt Post-Game Thoughts

(Jonathan Dwyer had himself a night, as they say, in Nashville.) As promised. I'll be back with a full post-game column soon. We'll start with the positives. 56 points, 597 yards, 40:20 time of possession, 407 rushing yards...

Georgia Tech Halftime Thoughts: Halloween Edition

(Bay Bay Thomas is having a big first half in Nashville.) Just some scattered observations. Be back with you after the game. Georgia Tech's open-field tackling is horrendous. Come to it, all of Georgia Tech's tackling is horrendous...

Why The ACC Wants and Needs Georgia Tech Now

(Josh Nesbitt's Yellow Jackets are the ACC's unquestioned best team now.) Jimmy Newman's kick never really had a chance—to be fair, dude's longest made attempt to date was 42 yards, and this one was 60...

Georgia Tech Football: Week 9 Bad Advice, Bold Prediction, and Something Else

Some Georgia Tech Thoughts On a Friday

(Will Derrick Morgan be holding that hand up to NFL fans next year?) We're eight games deep into the 2009 football season, and while it might have disappointed on a national scale, fans of the bee certainly won't be complaining at their present state...

Georgia Tech Housekeeping: Random Thoughts

(Will Mr. Nesbitt feature prominently in the random thoughts?) Yellow Jacket land is just abuzz (pun absolutely intended) these days with Georgia Tech perhaps on the brink of a BCS trip, depending on the outcome of the next four or five weeks...
