Daily Swarm

GT TO FACE BOSTON COLLEGE
Should be a tough test on Sunday, facing a strong BC team, which will join the ACC in a couple of years. Here is a story on their first victory.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - DARYL SMITH
Looks like D-Smith did pretty well during Pro day at GT

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - DEZ WHITE
Dez visited the Falcons front office last week prior to heading off the Chiefs to a workout.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - MIKE MADDUX
Maddux had 38 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks and a steal in his Phil. team's latest victory.

JACK TO PLAY AGAINST FORMER HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATE
BC's Craig Smith played with Jack at Worcester Academy (story here) - "BC's Craig Smith said he is eagerly anticipating tomorrow's matchup against Georgia Tech since it meant a reunion with former Worcester Academy teammate Jarrett Jack now a star guard for the Yellow Jackets. "It will be pretty good to see him," Smith said. "He'll be ready and I'll be ready."

NEPOTISM IS ALIVE IN FOOTBALL
Samford was added to our football schedule next year, which was Coach Gailey's former home. Now Army and former GT coach Bobby Ross has been added to the 2006 and 2008 schedules. At least Army is Div I-A.

BEESBALL TEAM LOSES TO WAKE FOREST
Jackets fall to 12-10.

HOOPS RECRUIT SENTENCED TO 4 MONTHS PROBATION
Jeremis Smith, in his moment of weakness, has been sentenced to 4 months probation for his part in a shoplifting case. All reports are that he is a good kid who hasn't made a mistake like this before and is very regretful for what happened. I am sure he will be happy when this is behind him.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - JOE BURNS
Joe was on 790 yesterday - here is a good recap, from TallahasseeJacket at the Hive. "Joe was talking about Buffalo & his status on the depth chart. He jsut re-signed with them for next fall & is working hard as the leading contributor on special teams and the third down back. e loves the competition among he, Willis, and Travis Henry & says they are very close with one another. He still supports Tech & plans on watching the game today to cheer on his Jackets. e is heavily involved in community service in the Boston area & especially loves the Big Brother's Club. He spends lots of time with his "little brother" & had him over for movies last Sat night. Joe still keeps up with Kelly C. & K Watkins a good bit. He also still keeps in touch with O'Leary - who he thinks of as a good friend."
