    Expectations for the 2021 season

    What do I expect? That CGC will be on the hotseat going into the 2022 season. Why? Because my fellow posters expect at least 5 wins but really think we can win 7+. I think 5 wins is a 50/50 shot. It's a tough schedule. We killed ourselves with penalties and turnovers last season. I see...

    MEMORIES...(first game)

    Great job by our defense. And IIRC, we beat ‘em on their turf the following year.

    1971 against Michigan State; my freshman year. Rats on the field!

    Expectations for GT Football

    Considering our schedule, a 5-win season would be an outright success. But even if we do that, CGC will be on the hot seat come 2022. '21 is year three of the Geoff era, and that's when many of us have been expecting a great leap forward for the program. It may not be fair to CGC, but that's...

    Penalties and Discipline

    After watching 2 seasons of CGC, my eye test says too many penalties, esp. false starts, and spotty team discipline/focus. Maybe coach should put his players through more reps in practice and spend less time on slogans and ‘fun’. Competition may be King, but purposeful, focused practice is the...

    Collins report card after 2 seasons

    I - Incomplete. But I'm not a happy camper. If covid is a memory next fall and we have another 3-win season, CGC will be on the hot seat.

    Uniform reveal - Notre Dame

    I get the marketing angle, joja, but ya gotta perform to sustain your audience. Think Lady Gaga vs a Kardashian, any Kardashian.

    Uniform reveal - Notre Dame

    When your team is good, this kind of stuff is cool. When your team is bad, this kind of stuff is lame.

    ACC Expansion

    I like the U of Houston play. They want a higher profile in football, and the ACC would be a step up. It expands ACC's footprint to the 4th largest city in the country. Pair it with Tulane and it's a natural. Or if you want a cupcake for the schedule, invite the rich kids at Rice to join...

    Game you most want to win in 2020

    Sooo many good choices here. Heads, SonsOfClem, tails, the Domers. Flip.... it’s the Domers! To hell with Rudy!

    Georgia Tech (+11.5) vs Florida State

    It’d be lots easier to take the points if we were sure who our starting QB is.

    Pandemic Practices

    This idea of playing the season appears to bother me more than a lot of folks. As responsible and vigilant as our team can be, they will only be as safe as the most careless staff person or player on the other team. But the first thing I did after seeing the schedule was to yank the chain of...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    Nuke, if you do a poll, put me down for ‘not this season, and then not until I can get my mitts on a proven vaccine’. Yours truly is in several high risk categories and is a coward to boot.

    ACC to play 10-game conference-only schedule for the 2020 season.

    I think there's a significant chance we won't play anybody this year.

    Free season tickets to graduating seniors

    Any chance A-CAB and T-STAN might make the offer retroactive for the classes of 1975 and 1976?

    Why Did Georgia Tech Football Leave the SEC?

    Leaving the SEC was a mistake because there was no viable destination plan in place. Trying to be the ND of the South was a non-starter. My freshman year was 1971, and by then our facilities were significantly inferior to those of our former SEC rivals. I visited friends at FL, TN, and GA...

    uGag Series

    I was kinda hacked off when I first found out our 3 games with the Mutts would be played as a weekend series this year, but now I like the idea - Hate Weekend! Wish it was a bit later in the season so the weather would be better, though.

    Brutal schedule / expectations

    With that schedule, 6-6 would exceed my expectations. We really need to see improvement on offense; last year was a real stomach-turner in that regard. We could see the guys rise up and pull off a major upset, but also take a couple of terrific beatings like last year. Still think year 3...
