Me too. Louisville is going to put up points against our D. We have to outscore them. I think Key will TRY the heavy run, grind-it down and limit possessions. But I don't think that will work in this game. We need the staff to recognize earlier than they did against Syracuse that we will...

I think it was the opposite. We just played so soft that there were chunk plays everywhere. We didn't cover anything, especially on third down.

Maybe this observation is a product of sample bias, but it looks to me like analytics based defenses heavily emphasize preventing the big play against evenly matched opponents. The result is giving up short-underneath passing game and playing very soft coverage until the red zone. So, offenses...

Our linemen got their egos dented against Syracuse. They will come out fired-up. We should control the LOS on the offensive side of the ball and our coach's preferred mode of shortening the game and grinding the ball should work very well against this opponent. Shortening the game (minimizing...

If decisions are made based on statistical algorithm, then there is no thinking at all. If coaches make a decision based on following a decision chart, then there is no real accountability "It ain't MY fault, I just followed the chart." If fans have the chart, then they can predict every...

In Key's presser, he said that the game's outcome will not be an issue of scheme but will be determined by which team is tougher and not beating themselves. I have no reason to doubt that this is true. Turnovers, penalties, who can keep swinging for 60 minutes. The analytics and strategy...

When D.J. Moore and the TEs Seither and Jackson Long went down for the season, he announced that right away.

Key hasn't been one to hide or delay information if a guy is seriously injured and out for weeks if not the season.

Distraction proof!

Hopefully, they will have left the ACC by then.

What is everyone's take on all the bowl opt-outs? My take on the extreme number of opt-outs for FSU's Bowl appearance was not supportive of a healthy program. Might that have been a prognostic indicator of what we are seeing this year? Maybe it is something to keep an eye on moving forward.

I'm not sure I understand this. Are you saying players who play for tuition have more motivation than players with an NIL deal? Getting paid squashes motivation? Is that how it worked for you, that once you started getting paid for your work, you lost your motivation? Interesting that most...

A lot of immaturity described there. The die-hard fans live and die with their teams. And there is, sadly, no shortage of idiotic and rude people. We've all had experiences that make us want to beat a team or program in a special way. I don't discount any of it. But we never want to go so...

Sorry for the double reply, but with regards to the bolded statement, that kind of thing is way too important to try to get pay-back in the arena of athletics. For instance, the BOR decision to add an engineering program at UGA or handcuffing GTs ability to expand it's degree offerings...

I accept your statement as fact. And you clearly feel justified to feel the way you do. If you know that it runs counter to your desired outcomes, and you re rationally superior to those who stand in your way .... Well, you know the rest!

They don't have a mass neurosis about UGA either.

There is a fuzzy line between motivation and desperation. Motivation benefits performance, desperation does not. I think that the GT community has pushed over the line to being clearly in the area of desperation. Performance in sport has a lot to do with focus. Moments of optimal...

It is an issue of degree. Lots of things in life are beneficial in moderation and destructive in excess. I've been around. Seen many rivalries. There are some nutty fans scattered among them all. But as a general rule, I haven't seen a rivalry get under the skin of a fan base the way UGA...

If you attribute that reasoning to me (or anyone else in this thread), then you didn't read my posts. My point is simply that the rivalry is in the heads of the Gt community in a negative way which actually contributes to our poor performances against them (not in football since Kirby has been...

You are 100% right, of course. I said "IF I was AD" I would suspend the series. But ya'll l have nothin' to worry about 'cause I'm really busy (and don't have a death wish).... :cautious:
