South Carolina. Pffffft. Give me a break.

 

[smokey_wasp]

We are running it back. LFG!

Raise and new contract inbound. Well deserved and once again shows our increased commitment to raising the athletics bar.

Cabrera is the real deal.

One of the 3 Pillars to success right there!!!
Now lock up Faulkner/Santucci for at least a couple of more seasons and keep the recruiting and Transfer Portal growing and we ascend to the top of the ACC and have chance for years of CFB Playoff chances.

 

[JRJacket]

This is huge. I am happy now.

 

[BackRoadGT]

This is huge. I am happy now.

*Happier, still more pieces to get lock in.
I won't be happy until we bury the mutts under the Benz next year and sign our $10mil check with their blood.

If we can get to perennial ACC contender, we can be a destination school, as opposed to a stepping stone school. You'll still lose coordinators to HC openings, but no more talk about the OC going to be the OC at some backwater school like OU.

Guess the StinGTalk housecleaning was the last straw.

Thanks @BeeStorm

Or maybe he's a plant to cast the tiebreaking vote to invite us the the B1G. 4-D chess.

 

[Dirty Jacket]

Ouch.

 

[ClubSeats]

Maybe Todd has grown into the job as AAD at NCSt?

 

[savbandjacket]

Ouch.

Yeah. I can’t imagine wanting to go live in East Lancing. But I guess money goes a long way.

He was the ringmaster for the circus clown show Gef ran. He should be banned from campus.

Georgia Tech AD J Batt was named the new athletic director at Michigan State, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He replaces Alan Haller, who was let go in May.

Need some one capable that also wants to be at GT

This was inevitable, but it was also a mutually beneficial several years. No ill will towards Batt, and I'm thankful for what he's done here.

This is the reality of our program right now. When you're middling, you try to make great hires who bring your level up before moving on.

Eventually you hope to get raised up enough that you are a true destination, but we're a long way from that and may never be there again. We just don't have the fan base top be a top AD destination in my opinion.

I’m available.

 

[cyptomcat]

well this sucks

 

[LaFlavor]

The fact is that, by and large, a B1G school is going to be much more attractive than an ACC school. We still don't know how much longer the ACC will survive at all, it's already a Division 1b conference. The FSU debacle a couple of years ago proved that.
