Strange happenings everywhere
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was unable to attend Chan Gailey’s press conference this afternoon, but the AJC’s Mike Knobler was there, and apparently it was quite a peculiar affair. School officials applauded him when he entered, and when he left. Chan was emotional. Dan Radakovich said something about working language into the coach’s contract to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, although that strikes me as a tough thing - but not impossible — to do.
Bet recruiting is safe. I’ll check with some recruits later tonight.
It’ll be very interesting to see what happens with the offensive coordinator position now that Patrick Nix is going to Miami.
In basketball, the Jackets face a tough task Saturday in Chapel Hill, as ACC teams are 118-17 in all games combined at home this season.
Strange things happen on the road, where there are crazies everywhere.
Former Tech assistant Perry Clark told me a while ago, “When I was at Tech, we went into [Duke’s Cameron [Indoor Arena[, and one time a guy jumped in our layup line. He had a Georgia Tech warmup on, and he went through layups with us. The road in a major conference is an awful difficult place to win. When you get a road win, you feel like you climbed Mt. Everest.”
