The athletic year enters its final week as your usual trio flip in their history books to a particularly turbulent period in Tech history: the 1910-1920s. Colloquially referred to (by us anyway) as Tech’s Scratch/Claw/Beg/Borrow/Steal period, the then-Georgia School of Technology struggled with rising attendance in the post-war period without the state funding to match. How did it survive financially? What were the legislative machinations that forced it into a corner? Who were the major players of the time? What throughlines can we draw to problems that face the Institute today? All of that and much more in today’s show!

Jack is joined by Jackson Caudell of All Yellow Jackets to deep dive into the 2025 Georgia Tech football recruiting class, which included two commits just today! Jake then joins to recap the Jack/Jackson discussion and touch on the rest of the news coming out of The Flats, including Dennis Scott’s jersey retirement, Sara Beth Allen becoming the third Academic All-American in Georgia Tech softball history, and Brent Key’s speech given at a recent alumni event.
