Way Too Early Predictions: GT

Georgia Tech released their 2026 football schedule, and as usual it looks tough. The Jackets have lost several key players and coaches, and I'm not sure they'll be able to overcome them. Last year Tech had a QB who found a way to win the close games. Will they have such a player this fall? 

So like so many of the yahoos of social media making predictions, here are mine...

9.05 Colorado @ GT. Chaos continues in Boulder. Jackets will beat the Deions. 1-0.

9.12 Tennessee @ GT. Vols will be too much for Tech. 1-1.

9.19 Mercer @ GT. No way the Bears can win, but it will be closer than most predict. 2-1.  

9.26 GT @ Stanford. Jackets fly cross country and could be jetlagged, but perhaps Tech wins a close one. 3-1.

10.03 bye

10.10 Duke @ GT. Blue Devils having a rough off season, but will play Tech tough. I hope Tech finds a QB that can win these close games. Otherwise they're in for a long season. 4-1.

10.17 GT @ Virginia Tech. The luck runs out on the Jackets. 4-2.

10.24 Boston College @ GT. BC always plays tough on the road. They can beat anyone. Perhaps Tech can find a way to win. 5-2. 

10.31 GT @ Pitt. Lots of talk of becoming bowl eligble all week, which doesn't help. Panthers beat Tech again. 5-3.

11.07 Louisville @ GT. Cardinals usually play Tech tough. A must win for Tech, which usually results in an embarrassing loss. 5-4.  

11.14 GT @ Clemson. The Tigers think Tech has a hex on them. Not this year. 5-5.

11.21 GT vs Wake Forest. Jackets need a win, but are beat down from the long season. Hopefully they win a close one. 6-5. 

11.28 GT @ UGA. Jackets can play the Dawgs tough between the hedges. Not this year. 6-6. Jackets go to a bowl. 

12.05 ACC Championship Game in Charlotte 

Bowl game: Tech just can't seem to win a bowl game. 6-7. Could be worse. There's a decent chance they lose one of those close game, finish 5-7 or 4-8, and miss out on a bowl game. You heard it here first. 

Shouldn't have, but a got a great deal on a Myrtle Beach Pelicans cap. Did I post this already?

Found an old picture of when I had long hair, so I shared it with my coworkers.

Since my hair looked like Leo's, Daniel added a Leo moustache.

Then Daniel gave me a haircut.   


GIL McDOUGALD [SABR Biois the only native of San Francisco to become Rookie of the Year. He was born on 19-May-1928, San Francisco, California. Was the AL ROY in 1951. HOF Gilbert Ray ‘Gil’ Hodges and Gilbert James ‘Gil’ McDougald played in the same World Series 4 times - 27 games in all, in 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956. McDougald was chosen by the newly formed Los Angeles Angels in MLB’s original expansion draft for the 1961 season, but chose to retire instead.


DenisonAmerican high school seniors' scores on math and reading tests have fallen to their lowest levels on record. Dependence on AI tools erodes critical thinking skills, harms learning and creativity, and increases isolation and loneliness. Research shows that overuse of social media, video games, and other digital platforms impairs executive functioning skills, including memory, planning, and decision-making. Short-form videos have been conclusively linked to poorer mental health and cognition. Andrew Budson, a Boston University neurologist who specializes in memory disorders, explains our problem: we are using technology for the wrong purposes: "our brains evolved for social interactions. People who become socially isolated, their brains actually shrink, even if they don't have a disorder, and people who are socially isolated are at increased risk of developing dementia."
