Look at this roughing the passer from yesterday. It’s not even about hitting the quarterback in the head or late anymore. You can do everything you’re supposed to do when the QB is releasing the throw. But if he falls down “too hard” - you get penalized. Is it football or not?

This will sound harsh, but the namesake of Grant Field died in 1906 and was paid for by someone who died in 1938. You can preserve tradition if you want, but $70 million goes a long way towards digging GT FB out of being a bottom-of-the-barrel Power 4 program, which it has been.

If a coaching search hinges on an opposing receiver dropping a touchdown in the end zone or not, then what kind of outfit are you running? Player emotions are running high, but remember if you made decisions based on that, then firing Geoff Collins would have been a mistake too.

Georgia Tech Basketball is 3 games over .500 in ACC play for the first time since Sunday, March 3, 1996. Eight months later, Bill Clinton would win a 2nd term as President by defeating Bob Dole.

It’s hard keeping arguments straight. -Auburn wasn’t motivated for UCF -LSU was but the statistical yardage disparity makes the Georgia-LSU game better -Notre Dame played nobody. (10 Power 5 teams) -Notre Dame sucks -So does Oklahoma -And Ohio State -SEC loss = no motivation
