Or for the college basketball flavor: How UGA and Ga. Tech are like Kentucky and Louisville. The Peach State colleges may not have had the same success as their neighbors to the West in football or to the North in basketball, but they are in professional golf tournaments. Take this stat from @RivalsCup (a great follow if you are a fan of the PGA Tour and/or college golf) following this past

A league that has taken its lumps over the last decade may be on the rise again led by BCS winner Florida State, supported by a consistent Clemson program, and elevated by the addition of Louisville.  Those three schools are at or near the top of my best jobs ranking for the ACC.  14.

Georgia Tech posted a job yesterday for an Assistant Basketball Coach. (You can search for the job here Req #0169677) On the Yellow Jackets staff currently is Chad Dollar, Josh Postorino, and Billy Schmidt.  Director of Player Development is Bruce Evans though I would imagine his job posting would be classified as such.

After leaving the Yellow Jacket program following his Redshirt Junior season, Jerrard Tarrant has struggled to catch on the in NFL.  He was invited to the New York Giants camp and played in all four preseason games but was cut by the team prior to the regular season. The Carrollton, Ga. native can still be found around Ga. Tech athletics events from time to time. Tarrant has recently caught on

With 7.2 seconds remaining in the game and Kentucky up 1, the Wildcats' Andrew Harrison dribbled the ball up the court guarded by Wichita's State Ron Baker.  A foul was called on Baker whose Shockers needed to stop the clock.  Almost simultaneously as the foul was called Harrison lifted his elbow into Baker's head based on the picture below.  The referees have the opportunity to review calls

Tony Barbee was not delivering on the $92.5 Million investment Auburn/credit:AuburnTigers.com  Multiple reports are stating Auburn Basketball Head Coach Tony Barbee has been fired after four seasons.  Auburn is by no means a basketball powerhouse and fan support is very low right now.  But here are five names which can help bring the basketball program back to a competitive level in the SEC.

Mark Fox didn't think the loss to Ga. Tech was funny and especially not now/AP  The Georgia Bulldogs hoops team finished the SEC regular season in a tie for second place with preseason number 1 Kentucky by virtue of winning 8 of their last 10 games. In a normal year, tying for second in the SEC would be a virtual lock for the NCAA Tournament.  But this season the conference is down ranking

The Georgia Institute of Technology, located in Atlanta, Ga, scored their biggest basketball win of the season (maybe even the last four seasons) beating 7th ranked Syracuse in the Carrier Dome on the Orange's Senior Night. Yet trying to find coverage of the Yellow Jackets win in the "hometown" paper I had to dig through headlines of Vince Vaughn visiting Atlanta, a radio DJ [possibly] losing

After a humbling non-conference portion of the season, Georgia basketball has rebounded in SEC play with eyes on a top four conference finish and a double-bye in the SEC Tournament.  I doubt even the most optimistic UGA basketball fan thought Mark Fox would have his club vying for a NIT bid after their November performance including losses to Georgia Tech, Davidson, and Temple and the perceived

Unlike college football, college basketball has two signing periods. An "early signing period" in November and a "late signing period" starting on April 16. The Bulldogs have just 1 scholarship to give out in 2014, but have 7 offers out according to VerbalCommits.com.  The Yellow Jackets have 3 spots available for 2014 after dismissing Solomon Poole earlier in the season.  Both programs are also

Georgia Tech rallied to beat Old Dominion in their season opener Friday 6-5.  They will face Radford today while ODU plays VCU in the "Battle of Midtown" One of the most interesting nuggets from this article was that this is the first time in 21 seasons Danny Hall's club has not been ranked in the preseason.  Many GT teams have failed to live up to preseason expectations so it will be

The college baseball season opens this weekend as much of the South is still thawing out from a "historical" ice storm. Both Georgia and Georgia Tech are in rebuilding modes entering the season. The Yellow Jackets played in a Regional Final last season but lost their top bats and bring back a young pitching staff. Meanwhile in Athens, the Bulldogs start anew with new coach Scott Stricklin

Having a great head coach is almost always the difference between a good program and a great one.  I could see each one of my top 10 head coaches winning a MNC at their current school and expect it if they are at one of my top programs with the highest ceilings.  Below is my 2014 off season top 10 head coaches.     10.  Gus Malzahn, Auburn While Auburn had been reeling in top ten recruiting

Coaches are fired every year because athletic departments perceive those coaches to not be reaching the program's ceiling of which they lead.  To succeed to the highest level in college football you need talent, first and foremost.   I don't care how good of a coach you are if you don't have talent (either recruited or developed) you simply will not win consistently.  It helps to have a big fan

Georgia Tech Rivals.com reporter Kelly Quinlan first reported on Thursday night that starting Yellow Jacket QB Vad Lee was planning to transfer. Lee started 13 games while at Tech and played a large part in a handful more including a 68-50 win at North Carolina in 2012. But the Durham, NC native really struggled in 2013 to fully grasp Paul Johnson's offense and Tech had arguably their worst

Bowl announcements will be made official tonight, but many athletic departments have a pretty good idea of where they are heading. Georgia Tech finished the season 7-5, 5-3 in ACC games and will be making their 17th straight bowl appearance somewhere. Obviously, FSU is heading to the BCS Championship Game possibly opening a spot for a 2nd ACC team in the BCS. Clemson is lobbying hard for the

Auburn Athletics shared this video of Chris Davis' 109 yard missed FG return for the winning touchdown. I would advise you turn down your speakers from full blast.

1. Auburn appears to be a team of destiny. In no other universe could you imagine how their last two wins would come - the tipped hail mary to beat UGA and a 109 yard FG return to beat #1 Alabama.   However, the Tigers win may take the SEC out of the BCS race unless FSU or Ohio State.  You have probably seen the stat showing the Tide just 7-5 in November vs FBS teams since 2010.  If Nick

Today represents Georgia Tech's best chance to beat their bitter in state rival since 2009. The Yellow Jackets are also looking to break a home losing streak to the Bulldogs that stretches back to 1999. UGA will be without fifth-year senior QB Aaron Murray who was added last week to the litany of the injuries for Mark Richt's team this season.  Hutson Mason came on relief last week leading
