GT hires Geoff Collins. Happy with it based on what i know about him.

Search handled well by the AD. Didn't get every target embarrasingly dragged into the media like some recent hirings.

Lookin at you, TN.

Apparently also had interest in Norvell and the coach from N. Texas.

Glad GT had an efficient hiring process that pleased the boosters/alumni.

IDK anything about this individual, so I'll defer to you on the subject.

The likelihood that there will be growing pains early is there, but once Collins gets on the recruiting trail for a couple of years, there is a chance Georgia Tech could see an uptick in recruiting.

If there is one thing about Collins that Georgia Tech supporters can get excited about, it’s recruiting. Early on in his career, Collins figured out he was good at finding talent. And at every stop, he has shined in doing just that.

To celebrate the Collins hire?

Seems a bit much but ... ok, if you say so.

From three months ago...not sure if it’s been posted but this is pretty special and a tear jerker no doubt.

Alright, who felt that quake (4.4 in central-east TN, felt all the way down to LaGrange) this morning? Slept right on through it!

Very happy to see the Dream are back downtown for 2019, and the league smartly got the schedule out early.

Just one National TV game for the Dream, but the league usually fills in games on NBATV as it goes along.

I hope this sports committee caught hell for forcing a choice like this, at the last minute, on an amateur athlete.

If he's a minor, I hope his parents/guardians were a part of the decision.

That's concerning.
I have a question though - is it about the dreads themselves or the length of his hair for a wrestler - just asking.
