    Georgia Tech proposes a one-word change in ‘Ramblin’ Wreck’ lyrics

    Cheese is right. What part of "put her on the campus to cheer the Brave and Bold" suggests that she isn't a student? What are we implying, that students don't cheer? Give me a break. Look, I am all for making everybody feel welcome, but we are screwing with the world's greatest fight song here...

    UNC Postgame

    I think they spotted the ball correctly. It was the yellow line that was off, IMHO. The ball was spotted just short of the 24 fwiw.

    Why our Bbacks bang their heads against a wall

    Personally, even with JT's limitations, I say we score there, if we go straight QB sneak 2 plays in a row, over QB follow. At least that way he isn't running horizontally or back first. What do I know? A quick BB dive is hard to stop twice too. We have a lot of options. Please, no suggestions...

    Clemson Prediction Thread

    My predictions have been crap all year, so why pay attention? GT 52 Climpsum 28. The world is shocked and amazed. Herbstreet's kid takes Corso's spot permanently on the ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY set and is coronated as the next Jimmy the Greek.

    A game to watch

    OK, my fuse has been lit now, so hang on. First off Delta, thanks for that. Look, I have no idea what things are like in the "Air Farce" (sorry), but let me give you a Marine perspective on why the USNA has a chance this weekend. The advantage CPJ had at NAVY was that those players, probably...

    Competition

    Well stated and 100% true. Infuriating is an appropriate response and one different from many posters. We got beat once (ND) where we had a slight chance to win, and we flat out lost twice, where we should have won.

    Why our Bbacks bang their heads against a wall

    Fade is a pretty strong word for what I was talking about. Fade implies somebody was covering. It was W-I-D-E open, meaning nobody there. There was no need to "fade" the pass at all.

    A worrisome stat

    Against UNC, there were a few runs nicely set up for huge gains, where our guy was a yard shy speed-wise of breaking a long one. It wasn't the blocking or the scheme, it was just a lack of nitro. Sorry to break the news, but it is what it is. We need our fast guys back in there.

    A worrisome stat

    I have pretty vivid memories of BS breaking free for about 50 at ND? No? It doesn't change the thrust of the point, but I think the facts are wrong.

    UNC's QB Williams

    The biggest difference between Watson and Williams is the number of times their names are mentioned by the media. I think both are really good and present similar challenges. That is my main point. Williams is certainly more physical and Watson slightly faster, however......

    Competition

    I think you totally missed my point. I have never, EVER, for one second in my life been OK with losing nor would I expect anybody else to be. That was far from the point. I do, however, acknowledge that it happens if you choose to participate. When it happens, how you deal with it or react to it...

    Why our Bbacks bang their heads against a wall

    Well, it is pretty easy after watching the replay to say what play would have worked. Hindsight, you know. The toss sweep may have been stuffed (unless our guy beat somebody in space) because they fired the CBs basically ignoring the thought of a pass. The play that would have worked for sure...

    How Important is GT's Bowl Streak?

    Yes, the practice time. That is like gold for any program, especially one that urgently needs to bring some younger guys along.

    UNC's QB Williams

    What challenge does Watson (for Clem's Son) present that Williams doesn't? Losing Saturday was disappointing, but a silver lining may be that playing such a mobile lethal QB may have given us some good defensive prep for the tiggers. Discuss.

    Competition

    I have to be honest and confess that I am mystified somewhat by most fanbases' reaction to losses, or even losing streaks like ours. I want to start by stating the obvious. In our sport there is exactly one winner and one loser in EVERY contest, without exception. Considering that fact, it is...

    Offense Question

    I am wondering why you think this is true if we are leaving the DT unblocked? I would think it de-emphasizes the OG somewhat.
