Is Haiku nerdy? Ancient Japanese art forms Get all the hot chicks.

Part is our ripping their guts out with rusty hedge clippers. One of my points is that statistics simply fail to capture the psychological intangibles of teams consisting in around one hundred 18-22 years olds (or 18-30 year olds at BYU), especially when things like actually being a student as...

I thought Erik Erikson was an academic psychologist :P I definitely know nothing about talk radio. :) Seems like a lot of politically motivated/interested references or tangents and discussions as of late on a site usually really fantastic at sticking to thread-specific (and Tech-football)...

This is so true. The sos stats are pretty much worthless when they are based on perceptions made of which teams are best from even before a game is played (hence highly subject to the SEC bias as well as simply to Factory bias). And it is manifestly the case and has been for years that the SEC...

But your comments regarding who Tech has beat suggest that somehow the Tech win or loss is not a part of why that other team goes on to win or lose in future contests. VT a bad team this year? Or having a bad season? Well I for one think Tech can take a lot of credit for that. VT had beat...

You mean the practices where there was never full attendance and the many linemen kept missing due to midterm exams?

I have thought so as well, or, to be more precise I have assumed that Laskey would have been fine to great as usual in these last games and so was really excited for Synjyn that he was able to step in and not let the offense suffer at all. When a backup who had few snaps at a position and only...

The SEC as a whole really doesn't play strong schedules and they thrive off of being consistently perceived every year as full of the best teams in the nation. It doesn't really bother me that they or their fans take advantage of this fact (although not recognizing propaganda or holding deep...

So true. One helluva Syngineer! I am sure he really deeply wanted to win the starting QB job from the day he got here. In fact, he was able to keep himself in the mix at the position longer than most are able to, so when he eventually moved to running back he ended up somewhat hidden behind...

I hadn't listened to the postgame press conference until just now and CPJ pointed out that he specifically challenged DJ White early on when White had given a big cushion and dropped back on a WR in zone treating him as the inside mans guy yet that WR was the only one on White's side of the...

I have very reasonable expectations that I will be moving far away from Atlanta next year and likely will never live here again. So chances to go see the Jackets play will become rarer and rarer. I don't take kindly to being labelled an apathetic fan or part of an apathetic fan base though...

Yeah they like to have spelling bees over there before the game while they wait to order food.

Then you haven't paid attention very well. See Steebu's comment for starters. Second, who are you comparing our fan base to to come up with all your huffing and puffing and insults about apathy? By what rational basis are you making your criticisms? Some version of reality existing in your...

I think that the media over the years in all facets of reporting, especially TV reporting (and even more clearly sports reporting) has proven itself very consistent. They travel in packs of group-think, typically stick to an appeal to the lowest common denominator, prefer consistency in...

I suppose my typo was Freudian humor. "good think Tech players are smarter . . ." Didn't Bobby Dodd always say that? Tech players may not be the biggest or fastest but they are the smartest and so are going to make the other team look foolish? You could also add that Thomas had the freedom...

"Just 31 years. I know our fanbase is apathetic, but Hell this is Clemson, and for a chance at the coastal!!" And the game time was not even decided until late Saturday night. Other than season ticket holders how many people do you expect to have pre-purchased tickets before knowing a game...

And it was on the road and early in the game (crowd noise) so it is a good indicator of Thomas's development, CPJ's trust in him, and the offense as a whole being capable of handling a play change at the last minute. It is one thing for a QB to see what play to change it to but everyone must...

Apparently you have not been following GT for long then.

No rule, but they either switch off some at BB or you have Days in at AB and Laskey at BB like before Laskey got injured. The reality though is that Laskey just has not played in 3 games and had a serious shoulder injury so there is not even any proof of when he will be back or that he will be...

In the larger scheme of the games the Days fumbles have not hurt much. Also his overall performance in yards gained and scores, effort, etc., have rightfully made the fumbles very easy to forgive. But they can't be ignored if one insists on debating over the two guys. I am so glad that Days...
