GT in the media

HOOPS
Surprised at the ACC's success? Don't be, as this article points out. In fact, he says that GT is actually the lynchpin of the strong ACC this year........... Here's one AP poll voter who has voted GT #1 (see bottom of article) since our win over UConn. Kind words from Dick Weiss........................ Looks like the Barry brothers (Jon and Brent) want to have a 3-pt contest at the all-star game. Check out Brent's humorous quote - "Brent said he told Jackson it "would be kind of fun" having Jon in the contest since he played at Georgia Tech. Then Brent joked, "But there are too many white guys in the league and they don't want to see white guys in All-Star Weekend."

BASEBALL
A nice background story on Nomar. Sure to be more as his name is mentioned in trade rumors.

FOOTBALL
Now it looks like Taylor Bennet has put his college choice decision on hold. I really feel for this kid. The pressure, the media attention. This is an important choice for him. I would love to see him at GT, and I hope his heart leads him here........................... Looks like former GT QB Andy Hall has led his team to the title game, where his Delaware Blue Hens will face Colgate. You can do a Google News Search for Andy Hall and I'm sure there will be lots of stories about this guy. Way to go Andy!!!
