Nice that we didn't fold at the end and avoided the embarrassing shutout. We made mistakes. They didn't. We lost. Can we get a do-over for this season?

I kept my expectations low and got a nice surprise from this team! Way to go, BasketJackets! When Arkansas pressed and came close, our team did not fold. We hit some free throws, were all over the boards, and we actually shot the 3-ball well. Nice improvement over the last game! Can we...

on the road...against a decent SEC team...after the close loss to ETSU? This is a "prove it" game for me. Even as a optimist, I am coming into this game with low expectations. Go Jackets!

FWIW, I never intended this to delve into a discussion on CPJ. I think he is a great coach, and has done a good job here, but its clear he and his staff need to take a hard look at what they are doing and look for ways to improve. In my original post, poor coaching was reason #4, not reason...

I just can't get over how frustrating this season has been for the team and the fans. Obviously, the season is not over and I hope we can end this miserable season with a resounding win, but up to this point, it has been a big, ugly mess. Here are the first two things that can point to as...

GT- 31; Miami-20 No real analysis here, just a hunch. That, plus the fact that we are due, right? Go Jackets!

Obviously, this year isn't finished yet, so our rankings could change, but this looks about right to me. Our offense is always pretty effective, but last year it was elite. Our defense is still mediocre. I was hoping we would take a step in the right direction with our defense, maybe into the...

Here are some stats from the Pitt game to ponder: TFLs: Pitt: 7, GT: 0. We are losing the battle in the trenches. Other teams are storming our backfield and we don't have the blocking to keep them out or the skill players to make them pay. 0 TFL for our defense is just sad. Rushes: Pitt...

Man, what a tough season. The incredibly tough schedule, the injuries, the last-minute losses...its like this year is the anti-2014. So strange. I feel like the coaching is solid, the talent is improving, and the overall program is in good shape...and yet we keep losing. As the old saying...

Nuke speaks truth. As good as last season was, and as nice as the potential was for the season, the margins are VERY thin for us. Our team is playing hard and not giving up, but they also are not making the plays they did last year to win. A few key injuries, a few mistakes here and...

Our leadership got tested...and failed. JeT was running for his life most of the game. We need some leadership on the Oline. Defense passed the test, but Duke was not a very good offensive team. We are learning more about our team...and it looks like we might be lacking some of the...

To me, this is the beauty of the college football season: The discovery process of our team--their talent, their determination, and their accountability to one another. As the season progresses, we find out more and more about who our team is. Its a slow discovery, for sure, but this week we...

GT-38 Duke-28 Duke scores a few at the end to make it look closer, but its never really in doubt. Last year's loss avenged. Boo-ya.

These are always fun to watch. You can really see how the triple option gets in the head of the defenders, making the dive and trap plays even more successful. I think that's the real beauty of the offense--they are so consumed preparing for and stopping the triple option the other plays...

45-17, GT. It'll be a close one...in the first quarter.

I loved the pass to Jeune there. If CBs are going to blitz, let's burn 'em! Nice play, and nice downfield blocking.

Ha! Unfortunately, my identity was hidden during my illustrious mascot career! Just curious, where did you play? What position? Based on your knowledge of the game (which I have always appreciated, by the way), I've always pictured you on the offensive line.

Nope. Praise the Lord, I was never seriously hurt. Plenty of bumps and bruises, but no major injuries. Never got (completely) dropped crowd surfing.

Well, I don't want to totally de-rail the thread, so let me say this: I am excited about Jalen Johnson's move to WR. He is big, physical, and he isn't going anywhere at Safety. Like someone else said, maybe he might end up being the Tony Hollings of WRs. Wishful thinking, but you never know...

Hotter than you can imagine. Two hours in that suit=10-15 lbs of water lost. But it was all worth it to see the smiles on kids faces and to make people laugh.
