AMC Expansion and Hoops Stuff
The pictures look AWESOME for the proposed Alexander Memorial Coliseum expansion. There is one glaring issue. I don't see a Ramblin' Reck garage anywhere in the photo. Hopefully, things are in the works amongst those currently in charge to ensure the Reck has a proper home.

According to the NCAA's attendance stats, Tech had the 65th best attendance out of 334 Division I teams. This was good enough for 9th in the ACC... The expansion may help attendance at first but a winning program is definitely a must for D-Rad's master plan.

ACC TV Deal
With the new ACC TV Deal, Tech will receive about $7 million more dollars per year in TV revenue. That's pretty sweet. Should the ACC higher-ups still be worried considering the ACC member universities are still getting the shaft comparatively speaking? Ben Broman breaks it down even further giving us the bullet points.

Football Stuff
Make sure you check out Gobbler Country's Stats Week round up. It was an interesting set of data. F4H can teach Winfield a thing or two about paying attention to detail (hint: check Winfield's spelling). Burn!

Tech has been on 14 Thursday Night games since 1996. Tech is 10-4 in these Thursday Night adventures. BCI breaks down Thursday Night appearances for ACC squads since Expansion. It's no surprise, to me, to see Tech and VT at the top of the list.

Miami and Notre Dame are renewing their old school rivalry. Awkward moments will definitely ensue.

The pictures remind me a lot of Phog Allen for some reason. Not so much the seating since it is mostly benches there, but the exterior and the large wrap around area. My attitude is that tickets are very pricey given the product they have been putting out recently, and the relative low level of attendance.

Hey man!

It’s been an absolutely ridiculous week(s)

In the penultimate paragraph I think you meant

“It’s no surprise, to me, to see Tech and VPI at the top of the list”

I remember when they clad the Tit with copper. It was easier to climb (much less hot) when it was painted. It was blindingly shiny for years. The patina is finally settling in, but I think it will eventually be light green like the Statue of Liberty.
