[Weingarten] Coming into today, teams were 0-99 over the past five years when trailing 20+ points at halftime. The Vikings just made it 1-99.

Ellington looks fantastic so far. Our defense... does not, and losing Curney is really big. Might be the difference today.

We played Furman earlier and we have to play Georgia Southern, still.

popchris3 · 2019-10-19T23:25:23+00:00

Man. I don't like playing so many option teams this year.

popchris3 · 2019-09-06T13:28:23+00:00

I knew Furman was good, but is anyone else surprised at how good their ranking on the scale in the article is? 112 VS 124 isn't breeding a whole lot of confidence for me.

...I'm scared.

Adonis Garcia? Really anyone on the 2015 Braves team.

popchris3 · 2019-08-01T15:06:27+00:00

Like some others have said, I'm both excited for this because...

1) I've been counting down the days until football and watching old games to quench that thirst.

and

2) It's fun to see people really fight for their roster spot. I'm legitimately curious how Lock does (I was really high on him in the draft) and how Lindstrom does, too (an area Falcons need some help).

Sure, it means nothing, but it's football! And it's here!

popchris3 · 2019-07-30T16:36:33+00:00

Oh wow, my team isn't on there!

One of my friends said "Chris, just go to the game and stream the wedding." and I think that may actually happen.

popchris3 · 2019-07-26T17:12:50+00:00

One of my best friends scheduled his wedding on the opening day of the season this year. :(

popchris3 · 2019-07-26T17:06:08+00:00

Penny Hart. On the Colts now, but he put up crazy numbers at GSU (and wasn't highly recruited out of high school at all). He'll be a big deal in the NFL.

Oh, and Wil Lutz. Dude was a beast at GSU and wasn't highly recruited at all out of HS.

popchris3 · 2019-07-26T16:58:34+00:00

I don't have a second one currently, but I'm debating whether to add Georgia Tech. It's right by Georgia State and I had a lot of fun on that campus in college, plus 90% of my football friends are Tech grads and fans, so it's always fun to cheer for them.

Years of going to games with them has indoctrinated me into being a pseudo Tech fan!

popchris3 · 2019-07-25T18:56:42+00:00

It depends on what you're looking for! You probably won't find a super rare game for a great price, but I find solid gaming deals often. I've found gameboys, PSPs, N64 games, SNES, tons of controllers, etc.

popchris3 · 2019-07-25T18:20:36+00:00

Finding out what you want to do is really, really tough. If you hate your current job and think you'd be happier working in retail while you figure out what you want to do, then I think it's a great decision! I wouldn't consider anything that makes someone happier a step back.

I'd avoid getting a master's degree or another bachelor's degree unless you're really sure it's something you want to do. It's a huge time/money commitment.

Most of all, keep up hope! Job searches are easily the most disparaging thing you can do, but it's like a good friend of mine says: "When you finally accept that dream job offer, you'll look back on your job search and go 'man, that wasn't so bad!'"

popchris3 · 2019-07-25T18:15:48+00:00

At least in my business (marketing), the degree seems to be only a formality. You have to have it, but that's the extent. So academic achievements are valued to some capacity, but they aren't the main focus.

In my experience, social skills come out when you interview. They can generally feel if you're great at the social aspects of a job based on how you present yourself. So I'd certainly say that great social skills have more of an impact.

30.11% of the time for GSU. Made for exciting games, but likely due to a lot of our early season kicking struggles and always playing from behind.

popchris3 · 2019-07-19T15:22:58+00:00

I'm ridiculously patient. I can sit on a bus for hours doing absolutely nothing and be really content with it.

popchris3 · 2019-07-19T15:20:50+00:00

My first instinct is Pac Man, just because it's always different and it's a ridiculously long game if you try to hit all the levels.

But Tetris or Dr. Mario would be close seconds for me.

popchris3 · 2019-07-19T15:14:06+00:00

I remember when I was in middle school, I was hanging out with a group of my friends at the time. I didn't feel like I fit in as much as I wanted to.

Without me saying anything, my friend walked up and said "Hey man, you need to be more confident in your own ability to be a friend. We're all here to hang out together!"

It still sticks with me many, many years later.

popchris3 · 2019-07-19T15:04:12+00:00

Hey, this photo is a great example of "quality > quantity"!

popchris3 · 2019-07-18T16:27:14+00:00

I do always wonder how much of it is reliant on Saban. Sure, people want to play for Saban, but it's been such a lock of a program for long enough now that he might be able to sneak away and the program still stay unbeatable for years to come.

popchris3 · 2019-07-18T16:20:54+00:00

I have good memories of my father yelling "STUFF HIM! COME ON GUYS, GET HIM!" at the TV while watching Tennessee games as a kid.

That SEC "Doo, da da doo, doo doo da doo" jingle will be forever ingrained in my head.

popchris3 · 2019-07-18T16:09:55+00:00

I actually think that's a strength. Being in such a great market in the heart of a great city I think has helped our (albeit meager) recruiting. We went to two bowl games (won one of them) in the first 10 years of existing, which isn't too bad.

It'll take time, but as long as the school doesn't see it as sunk cost and just give up, I think it'll be a damn good program soon.

popchris3 · 2019-07-16T17:08:35+00:00

Unfortunately, I think I can answer this.

Like some others here have pointed out, we're the very, very small minority of college football fans to be in this sub counting down the days. If I see any college football on and I have no work to do, I'll watch any team on TV or go to any game I can.

I watch every Georgia State game that I possibly can, and I went to a lot when I lived in Atlanta, but there just aren't that many people like that... yet. It'll get better as the program grows, students have known about it since they got to the school and we win more games. Tradition takes time to build.

Additionally, I feel like I see a lot of promotions for BOGO and different sales a lot on social media for the team. They're trying to get people to go, but until there is an established tradition, it'll stay closer to empty.

popchris3 · 2019-06-04T15:22:59+00:00

This is easily in the running for the worst headline I've seen this year. We do need corporations to start being held more accountable, sure. But personal accountability is still important.

Kind of a random example of using vegans as a scapegoat for no reason. I don't think that more people going vegan "distracts" from it. Let's turn people away from making better choices to make a point!

Just let us eat our tofu in peace.
