GT Volleyball closely swept by #7 SMU 3-0
Georgia Tech’s women’s volleyball fell 3-0 to #7 Southern Methodist (26-24, 26-24, 25-21) at McCamish Pavilion, dropping to 13-7 overall and 5-4 in ACC play. SMU dominated hitting ( .264 vs .155) and led by Suli Davis’s 17 kills. Tech’s Alida Bennour contributed key kills and a block, while middle blocker Zoë Humphrey tallied seven blocks. Freshman Simone Heard earned her first two career aces. The Jackets, now eighth in the ACC, look to even out next week against Notre Dame and #3 Louisville, a win that could keep their NCAA hopes alive.
Georgia Tech decimated 49-27 by Boston College
Boston College trounced Georgia Tech 49-27 on Oct. 24 at Bobby Dodd Stadium, rattling the Yellow Jackets to a 2-5 record and 1-3 in ACC play. Tech led 10-0 after a Kevin Roche, Jr. TD and a field goal, but BC answered with 49 points on 399 rushing yards, scoring on 7 of 9 drives. QB Alberto Mendoza threw two interceptions, both returned by Charlie Comella, including a 53‑yard pick‑six that pushed BC ahead 35-20 in the third quarter. Injuries plagued Tech (16 starters out) and defensive lapses were stark, with BC averaging 8.5 yards per rush. Coach Brent Key offered few specifics on adjustments, acknowledging the need for major changes.
GT Volleyball swept 3-0 by #2 Pitt
Georgia Tech fell 3-0 to the #2 nationally‑ranked Pitt Panthers at McCamish Pavilion on Oct. 24, 2026 (25-19, 25-13, 25-18). Pitt dominated the middle, recording 13 blocks versus Tech’s six, and hit .500 on the night thanks to All‑American Olivia Babcock’s 12 kills. Tech struggled offensively, hitting just .055 overall and never breaking .200 in any set. Alida Bennour led GT with 18 points and four aces, while Heloise Soares tallied 26 assists. Next up for GT is #7 SMU on Sunday.
Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Boston College
Georgia Tech’s 0‑34 loss to Virginia Tech leaves the Jackets scrambling before a homecoming showdown with Boston College. Coach Brent Key’s squad has been plagued by inconsistency, but the offense shows signs of life – QB Alberto Mendoza threw career‑high 335 yards last week and the line is finally holding. Boston College, led by mobile junior QB Mason McKenzie (444 rushing yards, 3 TDs), is a “weird” but dangerous opponent that can strike at any moment, especially with deep‑ball threats like Javarius Green. The Eagles rank 42nd nationally in defense, excelling against the pass, so the Jackets must tighten up both sides of the ball to rebound.
Fansville Field Trips 2026: The Big House
The 2026 Fansville Field Trips entry chronicles a road‑trip to Michigan Stadium, home of the Wolverines, as the crew documents pre‑game tailgating, Detroit bar hops, and their arrival in Ann Arbor. Highlights include a first‑class flight seat next to CBS’s Brad Nessler, a badly‑rated "Lion’s Roar" cocktail, a visit to the historic David Whitney hotel, and lunch at the Brown Jug with menu items named after Michigan legends. The authors capture the campus atmosphere, local merch overload, and a stop at Side Biscuit for praised wings. The post mixes travel anecdotes with college‑football enthusiasm, offering readers a vivid snapshot of the game‑day experience at the Big House.

Jack, Jake, Akshay and Maggie Scroggs dissect Georgia Tech's split football outing versus Virginia Tech, extracting mid‑season lessons, then shift to Tech volleyball’s weekend wins over Syracuse and Boston College.

GT Volleyball easily beats Boston College 3-0
Georgia Tech women’s volleyball storms past Boston College in a dominant 3‑0 sweep (25‑22, 25‑17, 25‑14) on Oct. 18, 2026. Alida Bennour leads the Jackets with 17 kills and 20 points, while Laura Bieleski adds 12 kills at a .429 hit percentage. The Jackets improve to 13‑5 overall (5‑2 ACC) as they gear up for tough matchups against Pitt and SMU next weekend. Despite a few blocking hiccups, Tech’s offensive firepower proves too much for the Eagles, who never recover after falling behind in the second set.
Georgia Tech falls 34-24 to Virginia Tech
Coming off a much needed win against Duke last weekend, Georgia Tech re-entered the loss column with a 34-24 loss to Virginia Tech. The Jackets are now 2-4 (1-2 ACC) with Boston College upcoming for Homecoming next week. Tech looked truly abysmal in the first half, allowing 180 receiving yards to Que’sean Brown on only […]
Georgia Tech @ Virginia Tech: Where To Watch/Game Thread
The Yellow Jackets are looking for their first win streak of any kind since their 8-0 start last season with a date in Blacksburg on the calendar today.

GT Volleyball sweeps Syracuse 3-0
O’KEEFE GYMNASIUM — Coming off a rough five set loss to Miami, Georgia Tech Volleyball returned home to O’Keefe and easily handled Syracuse 3-0 (25-20, 25-19, 25-11). Tech moves to 12-5 on the year and 4-2 in the ACC. Freshman Alida Bennour in a season where she keeps one upping herself did it again, recording […]
Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Virginia Tech
The season of disappointment continues with… a win? The Jackets finally got an ugly win over the Duke Blue Devils, marking our first Power Four victory since November 15th, 2025. I honestly did not think we had much of a chance with how powerful Duke’s run game and offensive line have been, but we somehow […]

Tuesday Thoughts 10/13: We Needed This
FINALLY we get it done. Game Recap in Three Sentences A last-minute TD gave us the lead and a missed FG by Duke sealed it. The rushing defense put in their best performance of the season to hold ACC-leader Nate Sheppard to under 100 yards. The offense finally looked solid in all areas with big […]

BOBBY DODD STADIUM – For the first time since the Boston College game on November 15, 2025, Georgia Tech defeats a Power 4 opponent, taking down Duke 28-25 on a wet and rainy day in Atlanta, Georgia. Tech moves to 2-3 on the season and 1-1 in ACC play. After Duke took their first lead […]
Georgia Tech vs. Duke Game Thread/Where To Watch
It’s been two weeks since Georgia Tech last was on a football field out in Stanford during what became quite the forgettable night, falling to 1-3 on the season. Brent Key in his midweek press conference once back in Atlanta declared the two weeks between games a rebuild for the team. Today, in the midst […]
Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Duke
After a weekend of minimal football stress, it is time for a conference test to save our season. We play the Duke Blue Devils, our old Coastal Division rivals, who have been sneaky good this year. Not many expected this after star quarterback Darien Mensah left for Miami in rather dramatic fashion. Yet here the […]

Jack and Jake recap a strange week of ACC football results plus takeaways from Brent Key’s latest press conference.

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Bye Week
I admittedly fell asleep around halftime of the Stanford game, and I am so glad I did, so I did not have to watch the second-half collapse. Unfortunately for me, I decided to watch the condensed game on Sunday morning, and I turned it off as soon as I saw Mendoza in the shotgun on […]
Volleyball Stays Perfect at Home after Dominant Weekend
If you aren’t already, you should be paying more attention to Jackets Volleyball, because unlike the other ball-centric sport on the Flats right now, they are, well, good. The squad opened ACC play with a bang, cruising to straight-set victories over both Virginia and Virginia Tech. The performance continues the trend of home dominance on […]
Tuesday Thoughts 9/29: Panic Mode
Yuck. Game Recap in Three Sentences A 10-point halftime lead was quickly erased in a third quarter in which Tech only ran eight plays for 21 yards. A late Mendoza INT deep in Stanford territory halted a potential comeback. The run defense finally showed up but it was at the expense of the passing defense […]
Scions E331: Trees 34, Bees 27. Questions: Many
Jake, Jack, and Akshay analyze the demoralizing and demotivating Georgia Tech football loss to Stanford, what we’ve seen over four games, and why the team is not headed in the right direction (thank god for the bye week). Then a check in on Tech volleyball’s stellar 2-0 weekend to begin ACC play with big opponents […]
Georgia Tech @ Stanford Game Thread/Where To Watch
The Jackets are back on the west coast for the first time since the 2000s to face the Stanford Cardinal in Stanford Stadium. The game also represents Tech’s first football game against a new ACC opponent since Stanford, Cal and SMU were added to the conference. The good news, Tech is favored. The bad news, […]
Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Stanford
Georgia Tech is traveling to the West Coast this weekend to take on Stanford. I am fully expecting my sleep schedule to be ruined on Saturday night after watching the Jackets’ kickoff at my typical bedtime, so let’s pray we get a win to make the loss of precious sleep worth it. Interestingly, of the […]
