    #GTvsUNC Postgame GT 21 - UNC 17

    Just rewatched the game again with my dad. Arguably the best game play of the season (if you take out the first quarter). I was so unconvinced we could even score - my UNC sister in law was texting me all week talking smack, and I was like, "nothing to argue about". I was so impressed with...

    WEEK 12 #GTvsUNC Media

    I like Key. probably better as a HC than a O-line coach given our inconsistency in that area. He has a plan; he works his play. and he either went WAY out of his way to not say anything negative about Sims, or he has tremendous empathy - maybe a bit of both; we will see what happens come season...

    On Getting to the NFL

    and you have to have be tall - and built for the NFL. I know there are some breakout shorter guys, but in general, you will not be a 5'8" QB in the NFL and may not even be able to play D1 football as a 5"8 guy. Some people can't get there because they simply aren't tall enough, which they can't...

    TECH VS MIAMI POSTGAME

    thanks for that info. I think Pyron is special for us. I loved his energy and attitude after the game last week. And I can't help but always root for "tough" kids. Yes, it is definitely ThugU....I remember watching them try to twist Justin Thomas' ankle several times back in the day. Duh U is...

    TECH VS MIAMI POSTGAME

    I've had a couple of days to think about that game after seeing it in person. I was incredibly disappointed that we didn't win that one; it was like the UVA game in that we should've, could've, would've and didn't. The last 2 Miami scores were because of desperation on our part, so I think the...

    ProJackets Update

    I know! I am a "comanager" of a team with my guy, and I convinced him to put Butker on our team. He wasn't happy tonight with my choice. Bad days happen. He's still the bomb!!!

    POSTGAME #GTvsVT GT 28-VT 27

    I was at the game on Sat in person. First, let me say that Blacksburg is a great venue, and I sat down low on the 40 yd line on the visitors' side. So much fun to watch the entrance with Sandman and hear the crowd sing. It was sloppy wet the first half (not pouring rain, but wet). The stadium...

    Week 10 #GTvsVT Media

    2014 was just a GREAT year! (2016 not that shabby!!) I was at Tech in '90 and '91, but 2014 is my favorite season, probably because I was older, and GT football has become my thing with my dad. There was something special about that year and his excitement around it - we really dug into the...

    Week 10 #GTvsVT Media

    yeah. I knew the shirts would be white. wondering if the pants and helmets are, too. Again, no big deal. thanks for the info! Hoping it will be a great experience despite the 12:30 start. I remember CPJ always loved Blacksburg as an environment. Thomas and Carter talked about that 2018 game...

    Week 10 #GTvsVT Media

    I don't know if Key can get things done, but I am SOOO relieved to hear his press conferences. He at least knows what he is talking about and is real with reporters about what needs to be done, whether or not he can get it done. it's refreshing to not hear smoke being blown and hear a real coach...

    The Miracle on Techwood turns seven years old on Monday. Let’s discuss that magical night.

    will NEVER forget this game, and it NEVER gets old hearing "you gotta be kidding me!". I love JT and the twins. I was so happy it was one of the twins who got it and ran it back. This has to be my favorite play of all time (and that says something considering the '90 Sisson kick against UVA an...

    An idea to improve Bobby Dodd Stadium.

    I love the upper north. We sit down low in 218 - I can hear the band play and see the game very well - when they are on the opposite end of the field, I do have to squint or watch the board some, but it's a great view of how the team lines up (and was FANTASTIC when we ran TO). It's also easy to...

    #Postgame GT 9 - UVA 16

    I think our entire offense looks like a square peg we are forcing into a round hole. We just don't have the talent. Even in the 3 Ws, our O was pretty awful. I realize we had a backup in for a large portion of this game, but 3 points against the worst team in the league? not even 100 yds...

    Uniforms for Thursday night vs UVA

    I really don't have a thing about which uniforms we wear when except...why do we always choose navy when the other team has blue as one of their colors and gold when the other team has that color as well? It's a thing. Like if we were playing FSU at home, we'd wear gold. Why do we not try to...

    AD Hire: J Batt

    I'm sure it was a carefully written statement to "leak" if not a full on press release.

    God we needed that. (POSTGAME THREAD GT 26 - PITT 21)

    yeah, I thought we were going to run 60% of the time and in the red zone, but that hasn't been the case. Sims always scares me. I know he has brilliant moments, but the bad ones are SO bad - a little pressure and he just folds. 11/27 is not a great performance, even if you blame it on the OL.

    God we needed that. (POSTGAME THREAD GT 26 - PITT 21)

    Happy for the unexpected win! Totally thought it was Charlie Thomas vs Pitt in the second half!!! Don't think 11/27 = "a great performance by Sims" as Roddy Jones asserted - I'd still like to see a different QB. O is still anemic at best most of the time. Can't continue to get behind the sticks...
