I think you should say against Miami. Oh wait, that is what you do mean right? The emotionally draining game was week before against Miami and so the malaise game against MTSU as a result? I agree with that. Although I can say that Tevin did not play in a malaise against MTSU . . . (just to...

Yeah it always befuddles me. Especially when they want to try and say the challenges are similar at other academically prestigious D1 schools. I keep hesitating to get very specific about how student athletes are helped at typical programs versus at Tech. But I will just give a basic scenario...

Yeah I attended all home games, wore the same shirt each time (underneath a white one for the whiteout) watched or listened to the road games and then had a talk to give and conference to attend from last Thursday to Sunday in another state and so neither attended, watched, or listened. Plus I...

I suspect the UNC academic load and exams compared to what the Tech players go through is like kindergarten tests in molding play-do. I too hope they have all sorts of issues playing a good game but am too cynical about what goes on in these schools to expect midterms to be the cause if it...

This thread really went places. I was actually amused by it. 5-1 and finally, FINALLY, beat VT and UM and in the same season to boot; and we get 6 year old offseason ax grinding about "this offense" and "not getting Dwyer recruits." On Leggett how he will perform after completing the rest of...

These Fall Break exam week losses are pretty common at Tech. Especially visible in basketball and they try and intentionally schedule the weakest opponents they can get for that week. At most D1 schools the kids do not have to do shi-ola for school work or testing. And I do mean most.

But isn't there a pregame pep talk before every game? Just because the AA decides to leak a recording of one doesn't mean that they don't happen. They just release them sometimes after the fact if it was a big win.

What exact series or situation do you pencil in the true freshman to get plays at a critical ball handling position? We have rarely had a possession this year where we were even two scores up on an opponent. In fact, I suspect we have not had ten possessions where we had a three score lead...

I strongly believe that the team, or someone on the team should completely goon up immediately and in the heat of the moment when seeing this and have jumped on that pos then and there and tried to take him out of the game. It is like in baseball or hockey policing it yourself and getting each...

You are doing a good job of "reserving judgment" here, the effort must be a terrible strain.

I don't think it is too much silver lining. Actually I think it is a pretty astute observation in that it suggests that these kids are better formed into a "team" than some past years. Maybe as a group they have more "fight" in them or something as well. We already knew of the basic parity in...

Exactly right. This is why it has been so frustrating over the last 3-4 years as a Tech fan. We have been consistently so much more competitive or closely matched and then not gotten that close win. Wins this year have shown the same parity but we got those satisfying close wins. It is...

Many other schools do not have to experience this but Tech fans do and should never forget just how impressive it is to be a Tech student-athlete. Often we can get a bit luckier in the football season just because the game is once a week but every single basketball season I get reminded of what...

yeah i think all tech chants and traditions had to start somewhere. I think the way to get this to become a crowd chant is to get the two student sections across the stadium organized to chant it back and forth. That may also be cool in that yellow . . . jackets goes east to west and "bleed a...

Not only a bit late but seems disingenuous. Suguira's write-up of what Cutcliffe said was very very charitable to him. If you watch the press conference, hear the questions as asked and his responses plus body language it was far more clear that he was doing some serious trash talk. Our WRs...

I am trying to think of another time I heard a coach so blatantly tell the press the negative recruiting speech he would make to players about an opposing team, anyone seen something so blatant before? Spurrier gets in great jabs at UGA but even those are more one off barbs. I don't condone...

Yeah @Techster and @kg01, I thought of that because Cutcliffe does specifically praise D Thomas and "name drops" him as someone he has worked with through Peyton so he is letting it be implied that he knows as "fact" that Bey Bey would not have chosen Tech. I think Bey Bey actually addressed...

Ok I watched it. Real bulletin board material starts at around 9 minutes. Smelter especially needs to see this, as do all of our wide receivers. Smelter gets mentioned by name from the reporter as another in a long line of "big play wide receivers" and Cutcliffe just shakes his head and says...

Also to whomever is televising the Tech-Duke game this Saturday. I think it would be a very easy sell for their staff at Raycom, ACC Network, Fox Sports or ESPN to excerpt it in their pregame talk about the game and its importance in the ACC Coastal race. Send it to Wes Durham and Brandon...

Iirc one of those losses was basically a blowout game Gailey lost to Duke (on the road at least). I am glad that the team has a way to get the gameday "hate" on for one of the teams we play annually which could always end up being a "what the?" kind of loss since we generally have beaten them...
