Sports in Perspective
While everyone has an opinion about the NCAA and the penalties imposed by their enforcement branch, nobody has addressed the ancillary impact that these scholarship reductions imposed on USC, Ohio State, and North Carolina are having on future high school recruits. While I personally have no issue with the decision to take away scholarships from universities [...]
The ACC Conference brain trust shifted around the schedules of both Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech so that they could open the season against each other in a nationally broadcast game on Labor Day in Blacksburg. Given the normal scheduling preference for any BCS college football team whereby they generally open the season with a few [...]
Now that the current football season has officially ended with the BCS National Championship Game, we continue the year long college football journey with a recruiting crescendo on February 1, 2012 when all high school players sign their national letters of intent indicating where they will be attending college for the next four years. Each year [...]
Well it only took a postgame trip to grab a bite after the game before I had to endure the same comments that have been echoed after every Georgia Tech Bowl Loss under Coach Paul Johnson. So in the ten minutes it took for the restaurant to prepare my take out meal while I waited in the [...]

Watching the Yellow Jackets first drive of the game go nowhere and resulting in a punt was not giving me a positive vibe. After seeing CPJ’s expression on the sideline it was obvious that he was in meltdown mode as well. Then if that wasn’t aggravating enough, seeing Duke go 59 yards in four plays scoring [...]
Georgia Tech entered this game against the Hokies with a chance to take control of the ACC Coastal Division only needing a loss by UVA in any of their remaining games to win the title outright. While the Yellow Jackets played hard and battled all night they did not make the plays necessary when needed, [...]
First of all congratulations to the Yellow Jackets for not only the win, but their outstanding effort on both sides of the ball for all sixty minutes on Saturday. After the recent road difficulties the prior two weeks, this was a much needed game to fuel this team for the remainder of the schedule. Now [...]

As of now the thought of an undefeated season is certainly over. With that reality we now have to see whether this Georgia Tech team can rebound and move forward, or let the promise of a very successful season go down the drain. As Coach Paul Johnson always reminds us; “good teams don’t lose two games [...]

So the Yellow Jackets are following the same reality as are the majority of the BCS teams. Except for one very important difference; they remain one of [...]
