SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S HOPE?

Tech's spring drills, summarized in a word: omgsofreakincold. Their old blocking sleds are bought to you by the Bank of East Atlanta Transnational Georgia.

Subtle. No pressure, y'all.

The linebackers have to be sacrificing live animals to the weather gods, because if it’s still cold next week and they have to tackle the FB on the option…

Well, I’d just say “No,thanks” and get in line for a chili dog at The Varsity.

That was the least funny article you’ve ever written where no one got hurt or killed. It read like a sports reporter. Not even a single sleestack reference?

You’ve changed.

@ Counter Trap -

Actually, spring practice starts March 23. The players have three more weeks of these. They’re probably all purchasing voodoo dolls at this point.

That’s an impressive Ford EST building in the video. It’s pretty cool GT manages to build new buildings like Ford and Klaus while also being recognized for its green space.

Oh, the Synchronized Spinnaz drill also looks pretty cool.

The coaches singled out the O-line? I know it is a motivational thing, but they are generally already motivated. Poking the bear is a high risk/high yield enterprise.

Our OL was atrocious, at times last year. Like say against pitifully slow Gardner-Webb, and block out the sun D-Line of Ellis Hugh.

They must improve or the students will revolt and go back to watching games in the library via the tvcard on their dorm computers.

I am so stealing one of those blocking sleds off Rose Bowl Field—-it would be a great addition to my living room.

That blocking sled is the definition of “poking the bear”. Of course, last season they poked a certain bear named “Reshad Jones” over and over again without him doing anything about it, so I guess I can’t blame them.

Rashad bit inside too much out of fear of Dwyer and fucked up his angle spectacularly on the last Roddy Jones run. He wasn’t the first player to look foolish because of Paul Johnson; ask Miami and FSU. Nor will he be the last.
