Tuesday Thoughts 11/4: Waste

Regression to the mean comes for everyone but man, this was embarrassing. Game Recap in Three Sentences The offense punted once all night but had to settle for too many FG attempts in the red zone. The defense played their worst game we’ve seen in a while, giving up nearly 9 yards per play and […]

#8 Georgia Tech @ NC State Game Thread/Where To Watch

For 9-0, the #8 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head up to Raleigh, North Carolina for what hopefully will not be their final trip to the state. NC State has sold out Carter-Finley Stadium for their homecoming game. Tech brings back some of their injured players from last week but still are without Ahmari Harvey. TV: ESPN2 […]

Georgia Tech Basketball: Incoming Transfers

With only 3 returning players from last season, there was a big need to bring in some talent and experience. Damon Stoudamire ended up bringing in 4 new faces to supplement the roster, a few of which should play significant roles this season. Given Georgia Tech basketball’s NIL budget (or lack thereof), Stoudamire was mostly […]

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – NC State

8-0, you are oh so sweet. Last week, we inched closer to Charlotte with a convincing win over a struggling Syracuse team. There is not much time to celebrate, however, because we head back on the road to play the NC State Wolfpack. Quarterback CJ Bailey gave us trouble last year, as he is a […]

Pick results summary here. The top picker from last week was GTStinger who correctly picked 9 games out of 11. donkeygoatrunner remains the top picker with 66 correct picks, closely followed by YankeeJacket with 64 picks. Congrats to GTStinger and good luck to everyone this week. I was on the road last weekend at Zion […]

2024-25 Basketball Recap and Returning Players

2024-25 Recap I came into the 2024-25 season with some hope, and it was dashed almost immediately when Georgia Tech was run off the floor at McCamish by North Florida. The Yellow Jackets followed that up by looking largely uncompetitive in all 4 of their non-conference games against major competition (Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, and Northwestern). […]

Tuesday Thoughts 10/28: Nothing to See Here

What a lovely fall day in Bobby Dodd Stadium. Game Recap in Three Sentences The offense was cooking all game, eventually racking up 543 total yards. Syracuse struggled to do anything with the ball consistently and only managed two drives of over eight plays. We finally got to see the offense throw the ball around […]

GT Volleyball chopped by #5 Stanford 3-0

Georgia Tech took their 9th loss of the season falling to #5 Stanford in a 3-0 sweep (25-21, 25-23, 25-14), falling to 10-9 (5-5 ACC). Tech splits their weekend series between the California schools after beating Cal 3-1 on Friday. Stanford was as heavy of a favorite Tech will play all season, even with the […]

#7 Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse Game Thread/Where to Watch

This week’s Homecoming is off to a spectacular bang with the Mini-500, the Wreck Parade this morning, and some special appearances around campus by Tech legends. But now, we football. Tech is playing at its highest ranking all season facing a very shorthanded Syracuse team that has been ineffective at best the last three weeks […]

GT Football Snarky Preview: Game 8 (Syracuse)

With a 7-0 record in hand, Tech returns home to take on a foe that stinks. To be clear, this isn’t meant to be a broadside at Syracuse’s performance this year… although it could be that too. Seven games into the season, Syracuse has four losses, all by multiple scores, as their season went sideways […]

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Syracuse

As a life-long ride-or-die Georgia Tech fan, I had yet to buy in this season, even with a 6-0 record. However, after this win against a talented Duke team, I am 100% bought-in and excited about the state of our football program. I said last week that this game against Duke was the ultimate test […]

Tuesday Thoughts 10/21: Just Keep Churning

The ride continues, we’re now the #7 team in the country. Game Recap in Three Sentences The first half was a rough watch, but yet again this team found a way to get things going and score 17 in the fourth quarter. The defense did an incredible job of keeping Duke out of the endzone, […]

#12 Georgia Tech @ Duke Game Thread/Where to Watch

The 6-0 #12 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are back on the road as they head to Durham, North Carolina to face the favorited Duke Blue Devils. Duke currently sits as a 2.5 point favorite per ESPN at time of writing (early afternoon Friday). The Jackets come off a 35-20 win over Virginia Tech, a score […]

GT Football Snarky Preview: Game 7 (Duke)

The second half of Tech’s regular season begins with a road trip to Durham to face everyone’s (least) favorite New Jersey trust fund babies. In some ways I feel for David Cutcliffe. He spent well over a decade dragging Duke football from deep in the mud up to honorable mediocrity and then to genuine ACC […]

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Duke

After a redemption game against the Hokies, the Jackets sit at 6-0 on the season and are one of 11 undefeated teams left in the country. This weekend, Duke awaits, in what is potentially the biggest game of the season for the Jackets. The Blue Devils are coming off a bye week and look to […]
