Before the start of last season, I wrote a piece called “Do We Want J’Mar?” The idea was to try to judge what we can demand expect from J’Mar in 2017 based on his performance in the 2016 Arkansas game. Now that we have a full season of data from J’Mar, we can take a […]

Tech’s 2017 football season was an odd one. The Bulldogs ended the regular season 6-6, but four of those twelve games that were decided by one point. In those games, Tech went 1-3. To put it another way: if Tech had scored 6 more points where it mattered, they would have gone into bowl season

On May 28, 2016, a three-year old child climbed into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. Harambe, an adult male gorilla, grabbed the young boy and dragged him around the pen.

On April 25th, Tech finished installing the bricks for the 2017 class of graduates from the University. The new bricks were added to the long line of bricks that stretch from the southeast corner of Howard Auditorium to near the base of the pedestrian bridge. There has long been speculation about where the bricks for
On April 8th, Hunter Wells accomplished something that doesn’t happen often in baseball: he hit for the cycle. That means Wells hit a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in a single game.
