  1. UGA preparation

    Yes, he was the best but Gailey for all his faults was actually pretty good at evaluating talent. Coach Dodd was great at recruiting players in his day and was really good at evaluation of talent but he was at his best on game day. In my lifetime, I would put Coach Ross as the best coach we...
  2. UGA preparation

    The late 1970s and early 1980s were more akin to a dumpster fire than "glory days" Glory days have been few and far between but winning an orange bowl in our second appearance since 1966 is about as glorious as it gets especially against the number 7 team in the nation.
  3. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    Right now, I am questioning both of them. But I am more willing to give the players some slack as they have suffered more bad luck and disappointments this year than a typical 18-20 year old should have to face.
  4. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    Did you see the fourth quarter of the Duke game? If you did, then you understand the reasoning. We will see Saturday if they can pull themselves back together. At this point it is a question of pride and character.
  5. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    That is a good point but after viewing Duke vs UNC and Duke vs Army, I am inclined to believe that yes this is a pretty bad Duke team even though it is coached by one of the best in Cutliffe.
  6. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    I admire your courage but question your judgement. OTOH three touchdowns is a lot to give an arch rival in any rivalry game be it COFH, UNC / Duke, Carolina / Clemson, the Iron Bowl, Ole Miss / State and any number of others. I just question this team's heart, resolve, and willingness to lay...
  7. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    He's right you know. Win COFH and Duke will be a distant memory. Beating Georgia is about like beating Clemson, Miami, Virginia Tech and winning the ACC all wrapped up in one package. Personally, ACC championships are very nice but I would rather beat Georgia but it is close.
  8. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    I am really down on this team but I can see (in typical Techmite fashion,) them going out and either beating UGA or losing a nail biter. That said, the only way we can hang close is to move the damn football, limit their possessions, and pray for a couple of foolish UGA turnovers with a few...
  9. In this thread: I face facts about Ted Roof

    Thank you for informing the ignorant (me) and the link it is really cool to see how defenses can be disguised in various ways. No wonder quarterbacks sometimes come off the field looking dazed. Did ya'll play this a lot or just some of the time with CJT?
  10. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    You are quite right. That was the game we came out throwing, I think, and got the 20 point lead. The game we were so badly over matched was 2012 against the UGA team that played for the SEC Championship. Blowing a 20 point lead is pretty bad.
  11. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    Yes it was but it was at least entertaining and UT was expected to be pretty good. From a performance standpoint it is hard to beat 2017 Duke or the Middle Tennessee fiasco. That bowl game in 2010 against Air Force was pretty bad too. It is hard to believe we lost that UT game after running...
  12. 2017 Bowl Projections

    If it is indeed, for the team, then the team needs to win a game like Duke that more than likely would determine bowl eligibility. If these seniors want to suit up one more time then they need to show some leadership. Something most of them have had little inclination to do judging by the...
  13. 2017 Bowl Projections

    Well what you say is true but believe me if one of the factories with a large and rabid fan base was left out there would be deal making like you would not believe. One way or the other, there are teams in our situation that would move heaven and earth or the NCAA at least to get that bowl game.
  14. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    There you go taking advantage of my advanced state of "sometimers" some times I remember and sometimes I don't. Yes sir, you are correct it was 2012 the year they almost beat Alabama in the SEC Championship game and most assuredly would have beaten Notre Dame for the national title. They were...
  15. 2017 Bowl Projections

    Yes, my sister in law watches any and every one even recording those that are in conflict to watch them later. Personally, I watch Tech, UGA, Auburn (my wife's family are big Tiger fans and my nephews went there) Most, if not all the ACC games and some of the SEC games. The rest of them? I...
  16. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    2013 UGA was pretty bad but they had a great team and we were kind of middling so it was expected. I was pleasantly surprised we were able to move the ball on them as much as we did that day. That team was the best one UGA has had in this century except perhaps, the current one. We will see.
  17. Worst losses (and best wins) of CPJ Era?

    My only thought is that the huge 2011 upset of 8-0 Clemson at Grant Field should be in there. We were a middling team that upset a high riding Clemson team that was about to become the first 9-0 ACC team since a Phillip Rivers NC State team. I forget what they were ranked about number 5 or so...
  18. 2017 Bowl Projections

    Bowls have reached the point where they are almost like getting a participation trophy in rec league ball. It's what you expect if you have a decent record. Plus, Tech does have the talking point of having played an extremely difficult schedule and without the benefit of a 12th game. I...
  19. GT (+11) vs. Georgia

    Based on what I saw last Saturday, I am utterly amazed at how low our line is. If I were a betting man, I would put the whole stake on UGA covering that spread. Clemson should cover against South Carolina but will have to exorcise the demons infesting Williams Brice.
  20. 2017 Bowl Projections

    I may be "selfish, petty, etc." but if the players want to go to a bowl game they will have to show they belong in a bowl game. Last Saturday, there did not seem to be much interest on their part at least. If they want to go, beat Georgia. Personally, I do not think even 6 win teams should...
