    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    Georgia has been worse. Clemson better. VT worse. Duke better. The rest of our ACC foes have pretty much the same on the whole. CPJ has had the luxury of playing TWELVE FCS opponent in ten years plus at least one (if not two garbage FBS opponents a year). It is not harder. We are just worse.

    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    I expect us to beat unranked Georgia teams. No other modern Tech coach has had the privilege to face them when they were down like CPJ has and he screwed the pooch. I don’t think we should be a powerhouse, but we are in a worse place now than when he took over. That’s unacceptable.

    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    O’Leary never had more talent than them and took three in a row. Zero excuse for losing 2010 as well. CPJ should’ve started 3-0 vs the Mutts. Lord knows what kind of impact that would’ve made on recruiting. Instead he takes one of the most talented (if not the most talented) Tech teams in the...

    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    Gailey faced 5 top 10 UGA teams (including two top 3) and one 23rd ranked team. Johnson faced: 3 top 10 UGA teams went 1-3 2 10-20 UGA teams and went 1-1 5 unranked Uga teams and went 1-4 Going 1-4 against unranked UGA teams should be considered a high crime. A good coach would be at least...

    He also has a lower winning percentage against FBS opponents than Chan Gailey. How embarrassing is that?

    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    He had the luxury of playing the worst Ugag teams since Ray Goof (still lost to most of them) and had two of his three best years with Chan’s players. He has also lost to the Kansases and MTSUs of the world, ended our bowl streak, and is tied with Bill Lewis for most losing seasons at Tech in...

    2018 ACC Football Kickoff

    That actually puts him on par with the bum we ran out of town ten years ago.

    David Hale's ACC Position Group Rankings

    Aren’t these talent rankings? I don’t see it as being a stretch to say our RB talent is 6th in the conference.

    ESPN ACC preseason power rankings: Can anyone catch Clemson?

    Yet somehow these other schools without the “geniuses” we recruit are able to start freshman and they know what to do.

    Fedora probably has a case of CTE himself.

    How long does it take to install the option?

    Georgia Southern had every institutional advantage known to man at their level.

    How long does it take to install the option?

    A crappy defense seems to pretty tightly coupled with this offense.

    How long does it take to install the option?

    CPJ took over a remarkably consistently mediocre team that had a top 20 recruiting class and had a good year, a great year, and then basically returned to form (or slightly below form) with a few outliers. That doesn’t suggest to me a terrible team could implement the option and have any real...

    Chick-fil-a bowl

    I don’t see UNC or UVA getting a recruiting bump in Atlanta from getting drilled there. FSU, UGA, and Auburn don’t need any help there. The worst part of this is that I doubt any of those games will be any good.

    Which college football coaches consistently produce overachievers or underachievers? [Bill Connelly]

    It’s real strange how our fans think academics are the only impediment to recruiting. Even with limited majors we should (and generally do) outrecruit places like Kansas State ever year.

    GT over/under set at 6 wins for 2018

    We lost to the worst team in the SEC last year. What in the world makes you think we’d beat four teams from that conference?

    College Free Agency

    College Free Agency

    What percentage of those graduates end up as professional musicians or instructors? Probably substantially more than college football players end up pro players or coaches.

    College Free Agency

    Agreed. Let’s start by requiring athletes go through the same admissions process as the regular students. Let’s also drop all the tutoring/babysitting they get so they have to have a real college experience. They can also eat in the regular cafeterias and have to pay for a meal plan like the...

    This should be a nice fun thread.

    We’ve lost to them 5 times in the previous 27 years. Twice from 1990 to 2013. That’s awfully close to an automatic win.
