Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Tennessee

I do not think a single one of us expected the performance that we watched against Colorado on Thursday night. I think I can speak for many Tech fans when I say that even if Aidan Birr’s field goal went in as time expired, I would still have the same dreadful feeling about what went […]

GT vs Colorado on 35mm

35mm shots from the sidelines, shot on a mix of Lomography 800 and Portra 800. Thanks to Bleach Film Lab in Avondale Estates for the expert development and scanning! See y’all on Saturday!

Tuesday Thoughts 9/8: Inches

*sigh* Welcome to the 2026 season I guess. Game Recap in Three Sentences Down by just one point, Birr’s FG attempt as time expired was blocked. The run game was a massive disparity: the Buffs rushed for 181 yards compared to Tech’s paltry 51. The field position battle was a losing one all evening with […]

Colorado upsets Tech 14-13 on blocked field goal

Georgia Tech football had the worst case scenario happen as they begin their season 0-1 after a 14-13 loss to Colorado. Dating back to the Pitt game last season, Tech has won only one game. After allowing a touchdown with under a minute to go to go down 14-13, Indiana transfer quarterback Alberto Mendoza found […]

Georgia Tech vs. Colorado Game Thread/Where To Watch

Tech football is back!! The new look Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket football team features two new coordinators, a new starting running back, a new quarterback, and a revamped secondary that will debut their 2026 season in front of a sold out crowd in Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field. Tech comes in as about […]

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Colorado

One of Atlanta’s greatest athletes returns to the city to coach his team for the first Week One matchup of the 2026 college football season. However, it is not quite the blockbuster homecoming showdown that many envisioned when Deion Sanders arrived at Colorado. Sanders is entering his fourth season in Boulder, and he is hoping […]

Best Case, Worst Case, and Most Likely for 2026 GT Football

Worst Case Jack Purdy: Like for any other team, a worst case situation is mostly coming if injuries are everywhere. For Tech, I think our worst case is losing all of Alberto Mendoza, Justice Haynes, and Aidan Birr. Key has been emphatic that Mendoza is the starter pretty much since he came into camp, giving […]

GT Volleyball finishes perfect weekend with 3-1 win over Loyola Chicago

Georgia Tech completed a near-perfect weekend, beating Loyola Chicago 3-1 (25-11, 21-25, 25-18, 25-14) to finish the Cyclone Invite 3-0 with wins over Northern Illinois, Iowa State, and the Ramblers. Tech hit a fantastic .380 over the course of the match with a career high 17 kills by Alida Bennour (.448 hit%) and 15 from […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Louisville

The Jackets will host the Louisville Cardinals for their ninth game of the 2026 campaign, and to many, the matchup doesn’t make the shortlist of the season’s most exciting bouts. The back-to-back primetime matchups against Colorado and Tennessee, the tough road tests against hungry Virginia Tech and Clemson squads, and, of course, COFH, all seem […]

GT Volleyball sweeps UNI 3-0 to start season

Georgia Tech Volleyball starts the season with many new faces, 10 to be exact, in 2026. In their season opener against Northern Iowa, many were highly involved in giving Tech a 3-0 sweep (25-22, 25-21, 25-17) over the UNI in Ames, Iowa. Tech debuted a new libero, outside hitter, right side, and middle blocker in […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Wake Forest

Wake Forest being called a surprise last season is an overstatement. Dave Clawson decided to hang it up, doing so after signing day and the closure of the portal. In steps former Wazzu head coach Jake Dickert. Picked to finish 16th in the preseason poll, the Deacs rolled to nine wins and a tie for […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Boston College

Boston College tied for their worst record in a season, since going winless in 1978. Bill O’Brian enters his 3rd season in Chestnut Hill with a record of 9-16 and 5-11 in the ACC. Offense Terrible seasons lead to wholesale changes in the Portal Era. Starting QB Dylan Lonergan has moved on to Rutgers. The […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Virginia Tech

Georgia Tech travels to Blacksburg, Virginia, to take on the Hokies in Week Seven. Virginia Tech will have the eyes of the nation on them in 2026, as they made one of the best hires of the offseason when they snagged Penn State’s James Franklin. Last year, Franklin went from having the number two team […]

100 Days to Kickoff – Opponent Previews: Colorado

Georgia Tech’s football season kicks off on Thursday, September 3 against Colorado, finishing the home & home series that began last year out in Boulder with a 27-20 win for the Jackets. Last year’s was the first between the schools, retroactively becoming the 1990 National Championship Game as the two schools did not actually play […]

Most Interesting Overall Transfer: Jaylen Mbakwe

I suspect that recruits (especially wide receivers/cornerbacks) have been trying to convince college coaches to let them play both ways for years and coaches would not let them. After the success of Travis Hunter at Colorado (and Jackson State) coaches seem to be telling recruits that they will let them try, but then forcing them […]

Most Interesting Defensive Transfer: Noah Carter

Georgia Tech has had a long running issue in getting pressure on the quarterback and 2025 was no exception. The Yellow Jackets finished 92nd in sack rate (5.28%). What pass rush that did exist often came from the interior (Jordan van den Berg especially). The edge rush was even worse than the basic sack numbers […]

100 Days to Kickoff: Opponent Previews – Tennessee

Hopefully Georgia Tech doesn’t empty the tank Thursday night against Colorado, because an even bigger primetime showdown awaits. Just nine days later, the Yellow Jackets will welcome the Tennessee Volunteers for an SEC vs. ACC night game. The last time they came down from Knoxville nine years ago, it was an overtime thriller that ended […]

Most Interesting Offensive Transfer: Spencer Mermans

In 2024 Georgia Tech picked up Jackson Hawes from the transfer portal. This was a very low key pickup. In his 4 seasons at Yale the tight end had only 35 receptions, though he had a reputation as a good blocker. At Georgia Tech he showed that he wasn’t just a good blocker, he was […]

100 Days to Kickoff: George Godsey

After three seasons with Georgia Tech, former offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner moved on to more humid pastures, leaving the opportunity for Georgia Tech football alum and Hall of Famer, George Godsey to return to the Flats. Godsey, will serve as co-offensive coordinator alongside Chris Wienke, another late 90s/early 2000s ACC veteran.  He played quarterback for […]
