The COVID field ....

If you notice, the white on the sidelines extends from the 15 yard lines, rather than the 25 yard lines. Part of the effort to spread players out over the course of the game.

Not sure how effective that will be ... but ... it's a change. Along with zero other people on the sidelines this year. No cheerleaders. No random media peeps. Just staff, and players ... and maybe a sideline reporter.


I can't wait til we start this season.

Longest off season EVER.

I appreciate you pointing out the sideline change.

I like it. Other than changing the white on the sidelines back to the 25, that is the only change I would make for 2021. Everything else I would keep.

But now, as a rival fan ( ), all the Jackets on here will probably say everything needs to be changed again in 2021.

I'll add this ...

If Georgia Tech can successfully recruit it's back yard, they will be a force.

As a Louisville fan, I am jealous of the schools that are located in prolific recruiting grounds. Because we aren't. And we have to scrap for every player we get. We find them from time to time --- Teddy Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson, Jaire Alexander, etc. But it's a lot of work as you're trying to pull kids away from home many times.

I think Georgia Tech will continue to blossom under Geoff Collins, and they will make it easier for Georgia kids to stay close to home.


With what old man Mack is doing in Chapel Hill ... what I expect to happen in Atlanta and Miami ... and a resurging Virginia Tech ... the Coastal jokes will go away permanently.

EDIT -- and I forgot to add Pitt in this mix. They fit the recruiting profile too. And they're already pretty good.

Louisville may not be as big as Atlanta or Miami or even Pittsburgh, but don't try to tell me there's no high school talent there! Over the last 4 years, the city of Louisville has produced eight 4-star and 24 3-star players (according to 247Sports, and that's JUST high schools within the city limits). The problem for Louisville is the Cards have only signed one of the 4-stars and three of the 3-star players!

Just imagine how good the Louisville football would've been had they signed JJ Weaver, Jared Casey, Milton Wright, Tahj Rice, John Young, Stephen Herron Jr., and Rondale Moore - and that's just the 4-stars. It seems more like Bobby Petrino simply wasn't trying to recruit city players.

Meanwhile, over the last four years, if you combine Blacksburg, VA with neighboring towns of Christiansburg and Radford, the area has produced a total of four 3-star players and zero 4-stars. That's what it's like to have to "scrap" for players...

Syracuse sez, "Hold my beer!"

The whole state of NY is lucky to produce more than 3-4 four star players a year. Upstate NY maybe a couple 3 stars a year.
