  1. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Understandable. He is like the pretty boy quarterback on the other team in high school that thought he was the best there ever was until he got gobsmacked by a defensive linemen or linebacker. Being a defensive back (back in the day in school) I understand the sentiments. We have a...
  2. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Sorry Gopher, had I been thinking I would have noticed where they put Minnesota and I just know you would have liked to see where they placed Wisconsin since you seem to like the Badgers so much /s/
  3. Expectations for the 2021 season

    A pity that. We, unfortunately, need all the help we can get. The wide receiver may be the more critical loss. He was being counted on to be the deep threat.
  4. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Thank you. The hard part was finding a site that said anything about the teams other than the usual suspects. The rankings were just someone's opinion but for the most part reasonable. I think we are better than 6th in the Coastal (now that is borderline insulting) but we will see.
  5. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Take this with a huge helping of salt. I went on the college football news website to investigate how the teams below the big 5 are looking this spring. Anyone can find stuff about UGA, Clemson, Notre Dame etc. but I was interested in those that will make or break this season for the...
  6. Where We Stand (PPDvPwr5 edition)

    I will believe it when I see it. Show me...I am gullible.
  7. Expectations for the 2021 season

    The Pitt game was in many ways a troubling way to end the year. Coach Collins threw his headset over the fake grounding play at the end wanting pass interference and then the infamous no look hand shake with Pitt's coach revealed the extent of his frustration. It was pretty disheartening to...
  8. Expectations for the 2021 season

    I am all for breathing but this team needs to show something after two years, blowing away two cupcakes would be a great start.
  9. Expectations for the 2021 season

    There was no logical reason for losing to The Citadel and then beating Miami two years ago, but I learned a long time ago that with Tech football logic and reason are not part of the equation especially when it come to playing Miami.
  10. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Funny, but I have a friend here in Albany that I play tennis with every week whose father was a third string running back on the 1952 national champions. I asked him once how many Tech games he watches and he said live none but on tape all of them. The reason being that more than a half...
  11. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Hell, we are not going to lose to either one of them. At least I don't think so. I will be disappointed if we do not blow both of them right off the field...but then the real football starts.
  12. Expectations for the 2021 season

    I have always like Mason and feel he would be a fine NFL prospect if given a chance and if he could stay healthy. We have some good players and some nice pieces but remain a long way from being a good team. Last night I watched the Boston College game for the third time. It was depressing to...
  13. Expectations for the 2021 season

    I don't know that opposing ACC coaches would lose any sleep over any of our players other than Jeff and Gibbs. None of the linemen on either side of the ball and none of the receivers. But Gibbs? I would watch that slippery son of a gun all the time. He has more gears than an 18 wheeler.
  14. Expectations for the 2021 season

    "...I think our new Pres is more pro athletics than any we have had in a long time." Admittedly, a low bar but encouraging and I had not heard this.
  15. Expectations for the 2021 season

    You are probably right. By media I meant to include the snarky commentary by national media as well. You know, stuff like the "Bottom 25" and so forth.
  16. Expectations for the 2021 season

    The natives will not accept that kind of reasoning in year 3, reasonable and well thought through, though it may be. Another 3 win season would have the media breathing down TStan and Collins' necks'.
  17. Expectations for the 2021 season

    A wise man that. I can't help but speculate because it is so much fun and ultimately means nothing.
  18. Expectations for the 2021 season

    I talked to a guy on my street who is a big UNC alumnus. He says UNC could be very good but it is going to be tough to replace those two running backs and several other under the radar types. True, they have Howell back but he loses, his go to receiver and both running backs. We will see...
  19. Expectations for the 2021 season

    True, that dismal scenario is a possibility. Avoid it by winning ball games. Damn, we should be able to win any 4 from Pitt, BC, UVA, Virginia Tech, and Duke. Add the two cupcakes and there is a winning season without too much drama. Win just ONE of Miami, UNC, UGA, Clemson, and Notre Dame...
  20. Expectations for the 2021 season

    OK, I will play. I am thinking 4 or 5 wins assuming we beat both K State and Northern Illinois. The problem with making predictions is not so much UGA, UNC, Miami, Notre Dame, and Clemson as we all know those teams will be formidable with all of them in the top 25 and perhaps 3 of them in the...
