    3-2 or 4-1 Perspective

    This is spot on. A bowl game every year is the absolute minimum expectation at GT, and Clemson's recent upswing isn't making that any easier (along with u[sic]ga always being a tough OOC game).

    GT - Miami predictions

    Miami's offense has only faced one good/competent defense this year. I'm not convinced they are going to light up GT. Florida still had a (much) higher yardage total than Miami despite losing. That said, Tech will need some breaks they didn't get in the VT game to win. 31-27... flip a coin.

    3-2 or 4-1 Perspective

    Johncu said it best. Sometimes the difference between a win and loss is a single play going your way. When I saw the punt for GT's last drive hit the 1 yard line and take a VT bounce, I knew it just wasn't our day. If GT competes and doesn't self-inflict errors against Miami, I'm satisfied.

    "The offense seemed completely befuddled and directionless."

    Let's avoid the ad hominem attacks guys... In regards to clock management, I thought that was handled perfectly in the first half of the UNC game, since we managed to not only score but leave them only 30 seconds before we received the ball for the 2nd half. Being able to utilize a passing...

    "The offense seemed completely befuddled and directionless."

    My main point was that even the best offenses with highly ranked talent can be stuffed by an effective defense. And even Chip Kelly's unquestioned success spurred doubt after a single loss. IMO, it's one thing to argue that GT's offense is boring and another thing to argue that it is not...

    "The offense seemed completely befuddled and directionless."

    We've heard variations of this several times this past week, but this quote wasn't about GT. It was about Oregon (when they lost to Stanford last year): ESPN: Instant analysis: Stanford 17, Oregon 14 How about "The coach's stubbornness cost us another game."? 12 Pac Review: This loss is on...

    Ugh, someone is really trying to get me to pay an extra $10 a month just for ESPNU

    Wake Up Call

    It's tough that we always have to play Clemson, but if we can win the division with them on our schedule then we've earned it. The good news for us is that Boston College looks improved this year and should give VPI a fight at home.

    Thank Goodness for the SWARM

    I've stayed pretty optimistic outwardly, but it is tough to watch your team losing to the same handful of teams year after year... after witnessing that VT game I know how the UNC fans feel about their recent play against GT.

    Calvin Johnson

    In the LSU-u[sic]ga telecast, it was stated that Les Miles doesn't allow anyone touches unless they show a willingness to block when they don't have the ball. Sounds like a good policy to me.

    Totally legit. Looks like we're going to have to drive them back to the... stone age

    Coach Johnson won this game

    The clock management at the end of the first half was perfect. If we lost the game, it wouldn't have been because of the game plan. There were a lot of places where players were in the position to make a play but couldn't get there (and some of those UNC receptions were just amazing catches...

    GT (-3.5) vs. UNC

    I'd try the Target in Atlantic Station or the Walmart on Howell Mill Rd if you are looking to grab a poncho before the game.

    UNC's D getting ready

    Don't forget the counter-motivation of the UNC "Coastal Champion" rings that were distributed to last year's team.

    GT/VT Tickets

    The 2011 Thursday night VT game was in November, and was freezing. If we can avoid the rain, the weather should be perfect.
