There are 108 stitches in a baseball. And roughly 108 words in any short comment from CJ Nitkowski. Coincidence? In Year Two of the tenure of the two main broadcasters for televised Braves' games, the verdict is unchanged : meh. The work of Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski isn&

Georgia Tech's new QB Alberto Mendoza had an unsatisfying first game to launch his time at the helm for the Yellow Jackets. The sophomore was part of a losing effort, with Tech falling 14-13 to Colorado. "I'm a winner", declared Mendoza in a
No one saw this coming. At least no one in the Georgia Tech sphere. They did not anticipate a sixty -minute amalgam of pigskin ineptitude rising to this order of magnitude. Not that they couldn't lose Game One of a fresh campaign. There were too many unknowns to
