    Bobby Ross was there 31 years ago...I mean hell, John Heisman did well there too. :)

    They have had some success. George O'Leary, despite being a complete asshole, did well there at a time when Florida State owned the conference. Surprisingly Chan Gailey never had a losing season there. And then Paul Johnson came in and did well for the first half of his run. But they don't invest any money in the program. They are losing and the facilities are probably the most outdated in the conference. Speaking purely football, if a recruit is between Georgia Tech, Duke and Wake Forest, the latter two are in a better position to get the commitment right now.

    No. So one of the cards most frequently played against them — “you have to major in engineering or business” — can’t be deployed as effectively as it has been.

    I looked over the syllabi for these courses. Daunting as they might sound to the not-so-math-inclined, they're not that bad.

    And this reminds of that time I had a bunch of students who'd completed the "Business Calculus" pre-req for my class and then told me that there was no calculus in it.

    They told me there would be no math.

    Finite was my favorite math class when I got my CS degree.

    All the degenerate gamblers on this site would love it!

    I remember encountering some of those topics for the first time as a doctoral student. Pretty sure I was the lone member of the class thinking, "Wait ... so A · B ain't necessarily equal to B · A?" I got through it, obviously, but that kind of thing had me wondering whether that career path change was gonna work out.

    My college math professor Mrs. Brigham (RIP) told me that if I was ever in a job where I was using what she was teaching me, I was in the wrong job. She was 100 percent correct.

    If you pay close attention to my Facebook feed, you know I love playing boardgames.

    Combinatorics is really helpful for figuring, "OK - I need to roll a seven. What are the odds again?"

    This is how shitty Geoff Collins is at his job. We have a whole page on Georgia Tech on the coaching carousel thread and the motherfucker hasn’t even been fired yet.

    Well, to be fair, until the last couple of years it was rare for the axe to fall before the end of the season. We'd talk hot seats and who was going to get the chop, but coaching searches happening by game four were far from the norm.

    We had a local high school in NE Ohio this week announce it was "parting ways" with the head football coach. We are in Week 6.
