  1. Coincidence?

    I had not thought about it but your facts are irrefutable and the conclusion, while crude, pretty much sums up how Tech fans feel about Swafford and the rest of the "Tobacco Road Mafia". I cannot think of another team that consistently gets the shaft from the ACC like we do. Perhaps poor old...
  2. Over / Under

    He is not Peyton Manning that is for sure but he is pretty good. Don't underestimate him but he might not be as formidable without his buddy Walton. Miami is very good but as always with them what you see is sometimes not what you get.
  3. Domination Ratio

    This is true but that one SEC team would probably beat all 7 of the ACC teams. Just saying, they are really tough on defense and are well coached. The only one of the 7 ACC teams that would give them a run for their money is Clemson. Clemson is capable of beating them if the stars are...
  4. Marshall's example

    NOPE! Guys like him are the life blood of any college football program. Get more like him and the wins and quality athletes will follow.
  5. Over / Under

    Don't know about all this "Under and Over" stuff. I will say this: if Miami forces 2 turnovers their chances of winning are much better than ours. OTOH if we force more than 3 punts AND rush for over 300 yards we will probably win. Of course, time of possession and limiting Hurricane...
  6. GT vs Miami kickoff @ 3:30 on ABC

    Not when I am paying for it, it ain't. Well, I guess it was up to a point but that thing cost me a fortune and all I got out of it was a sorry son in law that I promptly nicknamed "Flounder". Fortunately, they did not remain married for very long as my daughter eventually came to her senses.
  7. 2017 Bowl Projections

    That's pretty bad but back in 1969 or thereabouts, I went with a friend to the UNC vs Arizona State Peach Bowl and it actually snowed briefly. It was a great game with lots of scoring but the Sun Devils coached by Frank Kush won a thriller. Don McCauley ran wild for UNC.
  8. GT vs Miami kickoff @ 3:30 on ABC

    Explanation accepted. Just don't let it happen again. (TIC)
  9. Miami Preparation Media Thread

    More the pity, that this week Malek will have to practice tackling instead of press coverage. How is he coming off cut blocks? No free lancing this week bro, the Jackets are bringing the triple option and you get to play linebacker which means you might get that jersey a little dirty for a...
  10. GT vs Miami kickoff @ 3:30 on ABC

    You would permit something like that to interfere with watching the Jackets? Where is your courage? My daughter had the temerity to schedule her wedding day on a Saturday when the Jackets were playing a big game. I left that wedding in a hurry and managed to make the kickoff. Really...
  11. Allow me to Play Devils Advocate...

    Score touchdowns and special teams become less of a factor. Move the ball on them, control the clock, limit their possessions. are ways to negate their speed and athleticism. Believe me, if they get punched in the mouth over and over on multiple possessions they will quit. Posters speak of...
  12. Allow me to Play Devils Advocate...

    This year's GT team is different from those teams in one very important way: This year's offensive line is far superior to the lines in those years. Not saying that you do not have a valid point. We have struggled with the speed and athleticism of Miami teams in the past. However, if you...
  13. Your best guess....What say you about Miami game?

    1) Have no idea but would think that it would merit 3:30 2) 7 to 10 3) Hopefully all of them especially Lee and Marshall 4) 2 or more turnovers 10% 1 turnover 25% No turnovers 40% 5) Beating Miami
  14. Were you aware. . . .

    Nope, been a Tech fan for more than a half century and had no clue about any of this. Amazing what you can learn off the internet. TIC
  15. Dog House

    He won't be in there long. I think he has learned his lesson about stretching a ball on first down. Besides, he made up for it later.
  16. A-back involvement this year

    Defenses this year are making it a priority to take away the pitch by bringing safeties to the corner quickly. Understandable, in that the big plays usually come from pitches on the outside with no one there. It's not how I would play it but they seem committed to that strategy. Fine, Mr...
  17. Football is a funny game....

    Too late Pitt has already done so and UNC was a step away a couple of times today. It is a viable concern for sure.
  18. Most Under-rated opponent we will face

    I understand your concerns and normally I would agree but this year's defense is full of people with a lot of experience. Both safeties, both corners, one of the linebackers etc. They are recognizing plays much quicker and limiting promising plays with sure tackling. We really could be seeing...
  19. Football is a funny game....

    UGA looks like a legit top 10 or so team. Tennessee looks like we all suspected. "All hat and no cattle" as they say in Texas. Not a top 25 team as they have been all year and really not even a fringe top 25 team. Where does that leave us? Well, in a lot better shape than the Vols that's...
  20. Most Under-rated opponent we will face

    Let's get this straight. A team is underrated if the media, opponents, opposing fans, likely as not their own fans, do not perceive them as being that good but subsequent games show them to be much better than expected. Good examples of this kind of team this year would be Wake Forest and...
