öööö, I tried to register for StinGTalk in 1892, but for whatever reason I was not approved.

Apparently you add no value to the board, so it's not a bad thing you couldn't register.

I'm sure I'll get a post saying I add nothing as well, because, things, or something.

This fan base football wise has absolutely 0 to look forward to next season outside the fact that we won’t be wearing Russell anymore. Pathetic! ACC media will get out prediction levered again!!

Okay Donald
 
I am looking forward to next season when we will once again have the situation of being capable of winning or losing to anyone on our schedule. We will be competitive - not dominate but competitive. We were an average team this year and should have had a better than average record. Should have - but did not. As it is most years, I expect every game except the sacrificial lambs will be a spread of a touchdown or less. Clemson at home and UGA road about 10 pts.

Off-season question is how to get about a touchdown a game better? I'd argue with all our flaws - special teams alone should be easiest fix and I'm not sure that isn't closer to 10 pts a game baseline vs. this year.

To beej67, I do not doubt what you are saying and making points about regarding the B0R but I would like to add some points for discussion.

- I, a few years ago now, talked to the person representing my district on the BoR. I asked him about schools wanting to add courses of interest / majors. He told me that the BoR does not initiate that activity but the individual schools are the ones that must come to the Board with a request / proposal to have that done. I have yet to be able to find from anyone where GT has done that and been declined. Especially anything proposed that would, in and of itself, help us in any way to be more competitive athletically. I would Praise Heaven if we did that, and go to the wall if someone can show me where we have done that and been denied.

- I bow to your knowledge as regards the portions of our school on land (or buildings) owned by the BoR. I can see this being somewhat “tricky” regarding finances now and in the future. Of course, I assume, if for no other reason, the Board would need to be open to selling us the property back if nothing else.

- Goung Private? How many in the larger GT community would be willing to do this for reasons we might want to as regards our focus here? How do we know the HillNerds would not make it even more egregious for the GTAA than now?

Private School. I can see that as a benefit, PERHAPS. But I can see it also doing great harm to the focus of our discussion here. Leaving the SEC damn near destroyed the GTAA whether anyone wants to admit it or not. President Pettit, if memory serves, hired Homer Rice to come and dismantle the GTAA.

I could see going “Private” as doing something similar to that by giving GT more of a snobbish, elitist image to the general public that will not help us one bit. Actually, for our discussion here, it potentially could hurt us more than help IMO. We would become even more irrelevant in our city / state, not unlike Tulane to La., vandy to Tenn., Rice to Texas.

Many thought going Indy in 64 would make GT the n.d. of the South. How did that work out?

If we were to ever go Private, I want to see it written in stone, that programs / majors would be added to benefit the GTAA. Nothing less.

I don't disagree with much here, but I'll point this out. They "run this state" because they have a lock on the majors that produce journalists and politicians. And they use that influence to maintain thst lock. There is nothing UGA does as a university that we can't do five times better, but we are prevented from doing so, by UGA. Athletics is really a separate but parallel issue, with the same solution.

I'm a pretty big GT football fan, and if I saw Tech trying to get a major approved where the main purpose was to have a place to stash SAs I would do anything in my power to stop it from happening.

This is a perfectly okay position to have, if you also understand and accept that 3 ACCCG appearances in 10 years is our ceiling, and we are already at our ceiling given our situation.

Dammit, quit stealing my posts. This is what I was about to say. Actually, it's what 95% of all Power 5 teams say at the end of the season. Our fate was sealed in the first six weeks with a couple of screwy bounces and a hurricane canceling a game that I (and apparently Central Florida's AD ) will always think we were going to win. The year before Butker, Special Teams costs us two or three games. It was fixed and Special Teams became a strength and won us some big games. Harvin can do that for us next year if we get the other aspects shored up.

Dabo finally gets above .500 on CPJ and suddenly Clemson fans know what's best for GT football!! Heard that same BS when I was living in SC in the early 80's when we were a three win team and Clemson was destined to dominate college football for the next century. John Davis, John Dewberry, and Ted Roof put an end to that crap around 1984, and we have essentially split with them every since. Clemson has put together the coaching equivalent of Ross/Friedgen/O'Leary right now. It will not last. Had some Clemson friends ask me weren't we ready to fire CPJ after he'd lost to them for the third straight time. I asked them whey they didn't fire Dabo when Spurrier beat him four straight times?

See, the problem with your position is that people were saying the exact same thing during the Chan years... and during the GOL years... and during every other coach's tenure.

Nope. It's because you guys are like cicadas. You come out every seven years and make a lot of idiotic noise. Then you go back to your caves.

I thought everything I've said is a pretty valid point and not some gif or clever comment to add no reason to a football argument. You are probably one of the guys that donate like 200 a year to the school because that's all you can afford.. half of the "Dodd-Like" members here have now used Stingtalk as comedic relief instead of actual football talk. Its all good though, Im sure halfway through next season you will see the light.

Also, I cant believe I haven't been temporarily banned again yet. I guess BeeStorm and the other staff members are letting this one slide. Usually, unless you sugar coat a subject on here no one wants to hear the reality of the situation! Shucks
