I'm glad Deion largely is "just a coach" for now, I think.  They had a decent season, fine with me.  He has some Spurrier in him I think.

Unfortunately that's what recruits remember,not all of them of course. He's still somewhat of unkown commodity but still popular so next year will tell alot

he's trying to replace two top 5 draft picks

obviously didn't fix the O-line or the defense this season from last season

but, I'm sure he'll be fine

he doesn't have to recruit, kids just want to lineup to play for him

someone would be foolish to give him a step up, IMO

wondering if his other son, Shilo is coming back

I think he's out of eligibility. Even in this era. He's been in school for six years (RS year, COVID year, four years of full seasons).

A Tech fan posted this on FB, just to note that for some fans, a pretty good season is reason to celebrate.

Just now getting to post it, but it’s been a Helluva year for these Yellow Jackets and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be more proud of a group of guys that have stuck with the program through the rough past four seasons. A team that has brought back the pride in being a Georgia Tech fan and earned the respect of the nation. It’s been a year for them and for me that has seen highs and lows, but it’s been the most memorable season in my life. Here’s to a Helluva season in 2025 too

They finished 7-6 and beat Miami and took UGA to the wire (8 OTs) and lost their bowl game to Vandy.  They certainly have improved under Coach Key.

good to know that the 12-team playoff didn't ruin college football for YellerJacket fans

so, in other bowl games.........

both Shredder Sanders and Cam Ward decide to play.
(good for them)  Shredder got a big insurance policy from CU

Cam builds a big lead at the half and decides NOT to play the 2nd half....

Canes lose to the Clones

my question, why play the first half if yer not gonna play the 2nd half?
why play if you're not committed to winning the game?

Cam Ward played only to set some national passing record, from what I gather.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I am,to a degree, more forgiving than many. But that is in remains some absolute clown shit

I'm reminded of the movie Draft Day where the ostensible Number 1 pick was downgraded in part due to who he invited to a party.

Such things likely don't play well with some NFL GMs.
