  1. 2017 Opponents Players Leaving For Draft

    Turbisky, first rounder? Ridiculous. Watson was the best quarterback we faced. NOBODY else was even close. Don't get me started on BK at Miami. That said, I am glad the whole shooting match is gone and we don't have to face them another year.
  2. As of now how do y'all think the ACC will go in the 2017 Football season?

    It is remarkable that being a Tech fan is about like being forever tormented by thoughts of seasons full of shining hope cruelly dashed. We are punished by the gods of football like Prometheus was punished for an eternity by Zeus chained to a rock with an eagle tearing away at his liver. Bad...
  3. As of now how do y'all think the ACC will go in the 2017 Football season?

    Naturally, the tobacco road mafia is even now figuring out ways to ensure that everyone gets a bye week before they play us. This past year was just the latest in a long line of ridiculous scheduling that favors our opponents. I get the distinct feeling that those people don't like us...
  4. As of now how do y'all think the ACC will go in the 2017 Football season?

    I hate them, but the road to a division championship for Georgia Tech goes right through Virginia Tech and Da U. It's just that simple. Miami will be formidable as long as MR is coaching them and Virginia Tech, in spite of significant losses on offense still has the man with the blueprint on...
  5. 9-4

    Back in the day, a 7 point lead in the fourth quarter was as good as a pond full of catfish. Now, not so much. An old adage was that offense was for show, to put fannies in the seats but defense wins championships. May still be true as Alabama is built on defense, and power running behind...
  6. Let the Hype train Begin...

    Interesting post. I would have bet we did more poorly at the beginning of most of those years. The sad fact is that in 2012 and 2013 we were just not that good but then again with the exception of UGA, Virginia Tech, and Miami neither were most of our opponents. The ACC is much tougher now...
  7. Let the Hype train Begin...

    As usual, a well written and succinct summary of what our team should look like next year. I anticipate that the offensive line will be the best in the Johnson era. I am concerned about quarterback, and Bback depth on offense. On defense the linebackers are a major concern. A lot is riding...
  8. Let the Hype train Begin...

    True dat. In Dodd's last season Tech went 9-0 with a home win against Virginia. The fans were chanting "We want Bama" Meaning to play the #1 0r #2 ranked Tide in a bowl game. Dodd muttered under his breath: "Maybe you want them but I don't" Of course, that team's lack of depth on both...
  9. 9-4

    Good job by the two redshirt quarterbacks. Did anyone read the part about Dedrick? Very impressive. He is up to 225lbs and got mostly "Bs" this semester. OUTSTANDING!! So happy for this young man. It sounds like he has his priorities in order and has turned things around.
  10. Biggest ? Going into 2017

    MJ will have the benefit of far better line talent to work with. To my, admittedly untrained eye, the biggest difference between the team now and in Coach Johnson's early years is that the offensive line is far more talented across the board and with superior depth. I am not sure that the...

    If it were me, (I know disregard everything that follows) and I were playing Tech I would blitz creatively with my best athlete, like a strong safety and pray that my linebackers are fast enough to cover the edge. It really helps if you have a tackle or two that is disruptive and difficult to...

    I agree that the dive was there. Kentucky it seems was determined to not give up the big plays on the wide running plays or the seam routes. They played us a little bit differently than most teams. I really believe that they thought their two big boys (and boy howdy they were BIG) would be...

    This pretty much sums it up. Paul is who he is. He is not going to change and he is, in many ways the antithesis of Chan. Chan was the product of pro football. Play conservatively on offense for the most part, win with defense and kicking game. He was a good coach and gave us some...

    I agree with all this. Dwyer will forever be the template of a Georgia Tech Bback and to be sure Dedrick is a different sort of beast but this is a "grown man" running through arm tackles. I do not pretend to be an expert on offensive line play but it is apparent to me that our line got...

    It will be difficult to replace JT and Freddie on offense. Defensively PJ and Gamble are going to be missed. We don't actually lose that much compared to years past but as always at Georgia Tech it seems like the ones we lose are hard to replace. The kickers were very good this year and...
  16. Defensive MVP...................

    My personal MVPs are JT, and Mills on offense with PJ on defense and Butker for special teams. Love the effort, dedication, and intensity of our team. They did not let Stoops shenanigans upset them and kept their focus. A team win all around. One caveat, I am surprised Kentucky did not...
  17. Team Chaplain

    No one is saying we are a "Christian nation" however some of us who are Christian are sick and tired of having PC bull **** shoved down our throats. It is what it is. Incidentally, the Founding Fathers especially Washington were emphatic that the Christian faith was a bedrock principal in the...

    Nowhere in the Constitution are the words "separation of church and state" found. The idea of a wall separating church and state comes from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a group of Baptist pastors who were concerned that the new government would force states to adhere to some kind of...

    True dat! But I am not as computer literate as you young whipersnappers so keep that in mind.

    I seriously question the validity of this poll. Given the right material and players who buy into it, the offense works well enough to give us a chance in games we should not be competitive. Why would our school change a coach who is on the cusp of back to back successful recruiting years and...
