Send Notre Dame to NAIA

[Tyler Horka @tbhorka]

Pete Bevacqua: “If you wanted to maximize media value around college football, I think you would take 24 to 30 teams, create unbelievably competitive scheduling where a team like Notre Dame would play Alabama, Georgia, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan…”👀

The final Southside BeltLine trail segments open June 12th, creating a continuous 16.7-mile trail connecting the east, west, and south sections of the BeltLine.

The board also approved an $8 million Westside trail project to improve connections through Georgia Tech.

Recorded some thoughts last night. All we feel like doing is staring at a window.

Tough way to end the season, but hats off to Oklahoma. And congrats to our players and their families for a tremendous season… even though it stings now.

Tomorrow, a large group of former @GTBaseball players and supporters of the program are launching a series of initiatives to get behind James Ramsey and @GTBaseball in a way that builds a lasting competitive advantage. Not a mild competitive advantage, but one that is almost impossible for other schools to match.

It starts with having funds and strategies that will ensure @GTBaseball competes at the highest level… year in and year out. It culminates with 34 funded scholarships, over-the-cap funds for special projects and elite roster construction, and investments in advanced hitting and pitching technology. It also involves connecting our tremendous network of business executives and former and current professional baseball players in a way that no other school can. We have never really leveraged this network to drive athletic success, but we will going forward.

We should have learned some lessons from this regional series. Although our lineup was superior, Oklahoma had at least 8 pitchers that threw 95 or above. And each of them had good command of one or two off speed pitches. At the end of the day, their pitching was the story of the tournament. They kept a generational lineup off balance just enough to scrap out enough runs to win two games. Our pitching was really good all season, but their pitching staff was elite, especially their bullpen. And that was the difference.

We are going to come together to give James and @RGAlpert all the tools they need to consistently compete for National Championships. It’s easy to get mad and swear off GT athletics after another heart-breaking loss, but that is what losers do. Winners dust themselves off and get back to work the next day. That’s what we are going to do!

If you are a GT graduate, former athlete or fan who wants to be a part of taking our program to a consistently elite level (inclusive of unique perks 😉), then please reach out to me to learn more.

If you are a GT graduate, former athlete, or fan who wants to expand your network in a way that will advance your career and connect you to GT Athletics in an “inner circle” way, then please reach out to me.

We are hosting a series of educational webinars over the next two months that should help explain how we are going to break through to elite status.

We have tremendous momentum already.

I hope you will consider being involved.

Go Jackets! 🐝

Arguably the best team in Georgia Tech baseball history:

- blows an 8-2 and 7-3 lead on back-to-back days
- after not losing 2 in a row at home all season long
- to fail to win a Regional for the 20th consecutive season.

Somebody explain to me how that isn’t a full-on curse.

Tate McKee is stirring in the bullpen for the Yellow Jackets. He could be in a reverse role as closer today.
