Say It Ain't So, Skip!

Tech Commits A Cardinal Sin

A Sour Second Half Sag Brings Another Lamentable Loss The good news is that Brent Key's troops have two weeks before they play again. The bad news is that there's a lot to fix in 14 days, after a rough night in California last Saturday. Georgia

Falcons Fly High In Game Three

Wow! Who are these guys, and where have they been? Where'd those other guys go? The ones who couldn't throw, catch, run or kick... where were they on Thursday night in Green Bay? Then again, who cares? The guys who did show up Thursday night dominated

'Back That Thing Up!' The Offensive Series When The Ramblin Wreck Went Backward vs Mercer

Georgia Tech beat Mercer on Saturday by a 44-11 count. The Yellow Jackets rode two turnovers and an opportunistic offense to a margin of victory that looked deceptively large , as opposed to how competitive the game felt.

Georgia Tech Mauls The Bears....kind of

Georgia Tech's first two games in 2026 ended in losses, causing questions aplenty from among the fan base. Namely, how could a Brent Key- coached team look so sluggish and sloppy, while falling short on the scoreboard?. Saturday against Mercer, the Jackets did snag a win. But different

Is Michael Penix Really 'Ferdinand The Bull' At QB?

Remember the story of Ferdinand the Bull? He was a big burly bull who , against all expectations, had absolutely no interest in fighting. His lack of intensity and his puny competitive spirit were downright puzzling to all those who saw the situation unfold. Ring any bells, Falcons fans? The local

Ramble On: Braves' TV Gabfest Rolls Along-- As BG and CJ Talk..And Talk...A Lot

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&

Falcons Lay Their First Egg Of 2026 ( More To Come)

To the surprise of no one, the Atlanta Fakecons lost their first game of the new season, 20-13 to the host Pittsburgh Steelers. To produce that loss, Atlanta coach Stefanski used an innovative combination of bad strategies– a slightly injured third- string QB (who played commensurate to his standing

The Falcons Stumble Into Another Strange Season

Mediocrity is a tough place to live. But there are worse predicaments. Like hoping to get to mediocrity. Like the Atlanta Falcons. The NFL is designed to help the teams that are down. Those teams can theoretically bubble back up with the help of high draft picks, and with parity

A Prime Time Smile

Coach Prime wore a big smile as the game wound down last Thursday night in Atlanta. His Buffaloes held on for a one- point win, upsetting Georgia Tech by blocking a last second field goal attempt to win 14-13. Sanders has had many outstanding moments in this city since
