Prep for the heat & tumble: The "dryer drill"

To prepare its players for the potential heat and humidity of an early September night in ATL, ND turns up the dials in its indoor practice facility (big whoop!).

GT, having no such facility, augments on-field experience with the dreaded dryer drill, as ilustrated by the video in the continuation. Giant commercial units can accomodate even the biggest linemen.

Those who can't last for at least the minimum time have to run laps and the stands, then try it again.

Sure you want to play football, kids?

Motivating the ACC

Dan has used a very popular on-line tool to develop motivational posters for the ACC schools.

Check them out. It's good to laugh, even at your own school, now and then.

Think the odds are bad now? There were less than 200 women at Tech when this OF attended, and most of them were what you think of when you think of a smart girl, if you get my drift. Agnes Scott and Emory were the best places to meet college girls.

Worth a very brief chuckle

Did I mention GT beat UM in baseball, while UGA lost to Vandy (another "nerd" school)?

Call it the revenge of the nerds.

GT turning out top talent

Recruiters say Georgia Tech's ability to crank out executives 'staggering'

Atlanta — Georgia Tech students hit the ground before the sun rises every morning.

It's then the laborious tradition of math drills are executed by 18- to 22-year-olds toiling in anonymity and for uniformity.

"At 8 a.m. everybody is the same," said Wayne Clough, Georgia Tech's president. "There are no stars."

Yeah, but there have been quite a few born at that time. And they might just be at their brightest a few months later after graduation.

In Georgia Tech president Wayne Clough's twelve years, there have been thousands of students who have made it through Georgia Tech's classes, its difficult degree programs, at least four years of school and into the job market to become America's next generation of leaders.

"Georgia Tech's ability to produce top talent, it really has been staggering," said Rob DeRaider, senior analyst for CareerBuilder.com. "I don't what it is there, but there are dozens of elite prospects and then two or three or four who are going to be underrated."

In-depth review of FSU spring game

... by Jenn Sterger, self-proclaimed football analyst

Saturday... The Big Spring game (you know.. offense vs. defense). The defense of course dominated.. because.. that is what our defense always does. There were some killer plays however.. including an amazing catch... that was caught three times... actually juggled.. LOL. A couple of random scuffles... even an injury. A few guys got laid out hardcore. Geez guys.. lighten up.. THESE ARE YOUR TEAMMATES. I'd tell u more.. but then what would I write my SI article on? I got to learn the new players. Even met some of their parents.. who were super cool btw. Tailgating was a blast.. as usual. My locker room friends never let me down: Jax, with the AMAZING burgers.. Manic and Mom Foley for the chili and Family Guy.. The Garnet tux guy (sans Gold tux guy.. and the burger king man)... and the many others. Check out some of the pics for the fun you missed!!!..

On a side note, a certain friend of mine.. actually asked me later today.. if "we had won." I looked at her a little strange... and said.. what is this "we" business. She said.. "Duh..Jenn.. the Seminoles." I wasn't about to try to explain it to her.
