    Special Teams Improvement

    Does it seem like Shanahan takes an extra step while punting to the rest of you? The blocked punt didn't look like a rugby-style kick, but he seems to step forward twice. I'll have to rewatch on replay later today...I might not have been completely able to process things quickly last night :)

    GT Defense

    Okay. Call me shocked. But whatever Thacker has done with the 3-3-5 or whatever, give us more. I didn't know if our bad performance was related to Jimmies&Joes or Xs&Os, but we have not been good for a long, long time. Now...I don't know. But it sure feels like we might be good on D. I'd love...

    Where the haters?

    Sigh. I find it so sad that some find more pleasure in basking in being 'right' versus other posters than in GT winning the game and looking good in the process. I'm going to enjoy watching the team get better and potentially play meaningful football for the first time in several years.

    Boycott Sweetwater

    Yes, they were ABC, then they switched the name to be aligned with their most popular beer, Red Brick. Then they switched back to ABC recently. I don't know, but I'm guessing because "Red Brick" was named so based on a quote about 'rebuilding the city one red brick at a time' from the mayor...

    As long as it isn't too far to drive (can't fly with kegs), I'll bring the beer.

    Game 4 #UNCvsGT Predictions

    So far 100% of people predict GT by <7. :) I figure we'll try to slow it down again but it won't be as effective. But we hang with them due to our running game. I almost predicted UNC by > 14 since this poll is historically poor at predicting the outcome.

    UNC Preview Thread -- Who is UNC?

    Of course, if I was Thacker in a press conference I'd tell the press whatever I wanted the UNC coaches to believe. "Blitz? Pfft. No way we can blitz that guy. He's just too good. Nope, we are running base 4-3 all game because Howell is the next Tom Brady." Even if he doesn't plan to bring much...

    UNC vs Tech point spread

    I disagree. Strongly. The QB has the ball and was looking at Gotis. He was not in the act of throwing and was braced for the hit. How is a 'defenseless player?' That was a BS call. Throw the flag if you must...if you are a weak ref and can't see it live time like the rest of us that were...

    Fourth and Goal - what went wrong?

    Looks like the pulling Guard took a half-step outside towards "0" before remembering the assignment...he looks outside as 0 crashes and then belated turns back into the line. If it was an option play then that makes sense. If it was a shovel the whole way (which I suspect) then he just made a...

    Fourth and Goal - what went wrong?

    The "Biggers Goes Bigger" play. I like it!

    'Rique's Targeting Call

    Huh? Really? I see opponents wearing white gloves versus us all the time! Must be a 'rule' kind of like holding is a 'rule'!

    'Rique's Targeting Call

    It's why I don't like to see us in white jersey's even though I like the look. White gloves are hard to spot on white jerseys, but stand out more against other colors. If I was a defensive back I'd try to match my gloves to the opponents jersey color every game. Every little edge counts! :)

    Boycott Sweetwater

    Jude (a Belgian Triple) was even packaged in a White and Gold (Pantone 4515c) can, although we refrained from referencing GT directly in the name for all of the obvious trademark reasons.

    #GTvsCLEM Postgame

    I think they were in a bit of situational shock. A lot went on in the final couple of minutes of that game. Something that I am very proud of our team about. We took being denied at the goal for three plays and made it really, really close. I think the CU coaching staff lost situational...

    #GTvsCLEM Postgame

    I trust we still name call and say derogatory things about the coaches of that suburban school east of Atlanta .

    Hire Geoff Collins

    So, if you want to be all logical and stuff answer me this. What is the basis of your 'played horribly' assertion? It sounds like to me that 'scoring a lot of points' is how you define the 'not horribly' end of the scale. Since the score was low both sides 'played horribly.' There is no logic...

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    I'm just speculating, and I don't claim to be 'in the know.' But not having the facts has never stopped me from having an opinion before, so no need to stop now! I think the rule changes that were forced through the NCAA by the other ACC AD's also played a part in Paul's decision to go fish a...

    Pitt - NOON Kick

    Good thought. I figured they took their Directional U Loss because they were holding back there best X&O's for the "Handshake Revenge Game."

    UNC vs Tech point spread

    Oh yeah. You're right. I was thinking more traditional 2-back, but with the motion you effectively get the same thing when you snap it with the motion guy in the mix.
