thread_title: College Football WikiProject

message: Just so you know, in the basketball section, with the information bar (what is it called anyways?), I added basketball to the end of where it said "Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets". So now it says "Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Basketball". The reason for the change is I thought it was confusing.Bensp92
:Good call.  The formatting needs some severe help too.  There is way too much dead space and I'd also like to think that baseball and football deserve similar tables. Excaliburhorn 18:20, 3-27-07
::I agree that the infobox looks bad there. I think fixing it requires removing the template or making Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets basketball. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed by making the latter article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GT Basketball 

message: Here's a proposed format for the GT Football Article -
*The Beginning - The story of GT Football's beginnings with Leonard Wood and others.
*Heisman Comes to Tech - self explanatory
**National Title
**Stadium Construction
*The Plan - The story of William Alexander's tenure.
**National Title
*Dodd's Eight in a Row - Bobby Dodd's dominance in college football begins and ends.
**National Title
**'61 Alabam Incident
*Coaching Turnstyles - Carson, Fulcher, Rodgers, Curry
**Eddie McAshan
**Black Watch Defense
*Return to Glory and Scandal - 1990 UPI Title and O'Leary's resume debacle
*Modern Stuff - Chan Gailey Era
We can build off of this skeleton.  We need to include key games, major award winners, and stuff like that.  We need to search for some good archive photos, too. --Excaliburhorn 04:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds pretty comprehensive. I also need to work on the basketball article- I got started on it, then started to work on other projects and left it incomplete. Aside from a history section, what other topics would the history article cover? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed GT Football Article

message: Do these really need to be included? We have an article on Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and as for the others, I might suggest discussing them in the Georgia Tech traditions article instead. At the very least, it might be wise to develop some brief prose in lieu of the song lyrics as they don't really add anything to the article. Thoughts? LaMenta3 14:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Each should have its own article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I considered that for about 2 seconds until I realized that "Up With the White and Gold" and the Alma Mater aren't really culturally notable enough on their own (as opposed to "Ramblin' Wreck" which is a widely-used and recognized fight song) to warrant articles of their own, which is why I suggested adding prose about them to an existing article. Also, as I'm fuzzy on the publication history of UWTWAG, there may also be copyright concerns over printing the lyrics. The Alma Mater is probably sufficiently old enough such that it's not a concern for that song, but every school has an Alma Mater song and few if any are really all that notable on their own.

replies: text: Good point. Thankfully, the lyrics were all written by the early 1920s and are therefore PD. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 16:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: School songs

message: We should make more subarticles/redirects, if only for disambiguation purposes, which would then let more content filter back into this article. I'm thinking the following should exist:
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's basketball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets baseball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's baseball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets softball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's softball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's golf
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets volleyball (model: Hawaii Rainbow Wahine volleyball)
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's volleyball
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's tennis
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's tennis
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's swimming and diving
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's swimming and diving
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's track and field
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's track and field
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's cross country
* Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's cross country
