I' Been following Gt athletics closely since 1982. If history is a chain linking Gt to losing, then I am all for breaking the chain.

Seems to me like you have a healthy attitude so, my posts really aren't directed towards you. A self destructive attitude is to prefer beating UGA than win a conference championship, or lose every game if it means we beat UGA. My premise is that this sort attitude filters down to the field of...

C'mon man! Sport rivalries are healthy and fun. GT fans have taken theirs way too far, to a self-destructive place. They've been creepin'. For their own good and, especially for the good of their teams, they need to take it down several notches. Where Gt is now with their rivalry is not...

Do you want to beat them or hate them? Which is more important? Choose one because you can't have them both. For the decades that I have been following GT, I see that Gt is predisposed to losing to them. By that I mean that even before our athletes take the field, they have been handicapped...

As a sidewalk fan, i have always been a little creeped out by how badly UGA is "in the heads" of the GT community. It is THE least attractive part about being a GT fan and participating in discussion with GT fans. "Good Old Fashioned Hate" was always meant to be tongue in cheek to me. But GT...

Beyond differences in raw talent and projections based on production in previous games, every new game presents its own challenges that determine outcome. In the current coaching vernacular, it is called "overcoming adversity." It can include home field advantages, traveling difficulties...

He didn't mean that literally. He meant it would be beneficial to approach the game AS IF we were a 12 point underdog.

That works on O. I think walking out of there with the W not only involves controlling the ball on O but limiting big plays: limiting chunk plays by their O, miscues on specials and turnovers by our O. Is this the best passing attack we've seen yet? Seems likely. Will we finally get to see...

The team will need to be focused to win at that place. We've just come out of two physical games and we look pretty beat up. To me this comes down to whether or not the staff can keep the team geeked-up for the third consecutive week? If they can, I think we take this. If not, we could be...

For those who thought we had an off night, I am wondering if you had been offered the score, 35-12 before the game started, would you have taken that?

Avery Boyd hasn't been targeted a lot, but in both of games, his size and speed jumps off the screen.

On King's pick, he threw into tight one on one coverage. Under the circumstances, that may have been a bad read. In the NFL, QBs will throw the ball to their #1 receiver in one on one situations even if there is tight coverage. Even in college, at higher levels of play, coverage gets tighter...

You press. But there is a vulnerability for the big play. So much of defense these days is about risk management. Defenses are risk averse on the long field. So they give up the short stuff and depend on sure tackling and hope the offense makes a mistake. Do that until the offense hits the...

Hope Franklin is OK. Game was a little chippy. I think the approach against teams like this is not to beat yourself, avoid mistakes. The idea is to safely get a win. The down side for fans is that we never see the team just cut loose. With Key, he is gong for the most direct route to...

A photo from the game: Based on King's expression, I had just assumed that his antenna was picking up transmission of a Taylor Swift concert.

By the "Run. The. Bawl." comment, I interpreted that to mean that Key thinks it is a priority to be able to run the ball against base defenses. If an offense can run successfully against a base defense, then the defense has to adjust to stop the run and then the offense has set up the pass. I...

We're turning heads. Eyebrows are being raised. But there is a lot of inertia to overcome to convert intrigue into actionable investment. The program has made strides with an opportunity to turn a corner. If good stuff momentum is maintained we will hit a threshold where local fan interest...

I'm not worried about this game. We've endured some toe-stubbing disappointments in the past, playing down to the competition, etc. But this is a new season, different team. I have a lot of confidence in this team. I'd be really surprised of we don't take care of business.

Thank you for these three points. The utility of models are that they are supposed to be effectively predictive, not just persuasive. Modeling is not a black-box algorithm washing machine where crap input data magically comes out insightful objective science. Faith in this kind of thing...
