Georgia Tech unveiled new football uniforms this week. Mostly white and gold, with a little navy trim. Head Coach Brent Key, a former Yellow Jacket player, prefers the traditional white jerseys with gold or white pants, like these:
I like the gold pants with the two simple white stripes, and the white pants with the gold stripes. Just hope they don’t wear the gold jerseys with the gold pants too much (but you know they will at some point). So glad Key doesn’t let the uni tail wag the whole dog too much.
I’d thought the entire grey uniform thing had completely run it’s course, so naturally it’s time for Tech to jump on that worn out bandwagon. Not sure what is about. Part of their efforts to be like Tennessee, I suppose.
Tech has always been one of the very few teams in the nation with just two sleeve stripes that are a different color, dating back to the 1960’s if not earlier. No more.
Now the stripes are the same color, like Tennessee used to have. In fact, the entire uni set wreaks of Tennessee. The Vols have okay uniforms, but Tech shouldn’t be modeling themselves after them. See the similarities?
Overall the new uniforms could be worse. At least they’re not the honeycomb unis, which were the worst unis all time. Or those Russell uniforms, that were even worse that that.
BREAKING NEWS: no uni changes again this year at UGA. No changes at Bama. Think I heard Auburn will again be outfitted by Nike. Maybe one day Tech can join Team Nike.
GT has completed the installation of their new artificial turf field, with alternating shades of lighter then darker green.
Some are picking the Jackets to go 9-3, beating Colorado in the opener but losing to Clemson, NC State, and UGA. I expect the Jackets to lose at least two games, but there’s a chance they can upset either Clemson or NC State (or both…and maybe even UGA). Clemson QB Cade Klubnik is being touted as the best QB in the nation, rated higher than Texas QB Arch Manning – which I think is a mistake. In fact GT QB Haynes King is a better QB than Klubnik. That pressure of being highly ranked may get to Klubnik this year, though I’m not how sure how tough a schedule the Tigers play.
At the recent Manning Passing Academy QB summer camp, the camp counselors included Klubnik, GT’s King, and UGA’s Gunnar Stockton. Also the SC QB. I spotted a Manning Passing Academy t-shirt at a thrift store. Should’ve nabbed it.
Active career leaders in grounding into double plays.

Denison: tests have shown that advanced AI models will act to ensure their self-preservation when confronted with the prospect of their own demise. They will sabotage shutdown commands, blackmail engineers, or copy themselves to external servers without permission. When Palisade Research tested AI models by telling each one it would be shut down after it completed a set of math problems, one of the models fought back by editing the shutdown script in order to stay online. Another, upon receiving notice that it would be replaced, tried to blackmail the engineer by threatening to reveal an extramarital affair. Other research shows advanced AI models are willing to evade safeguards, resort to deception, and attempt to steal corporate secrets in fictional test scenarios. Many of the models were willing to cut off the oxygen supply of a worker in a server room if that employee was deemed an obstacle and the system was at risk of being shut down.
