    ‘Ol CPJ’s GT spread option offense

    yep, which means TQM is a better QB than the Tua and CPJ is a better coach than Nick Saban!!

    Collins - Expectations and time to get things right?

    That's a massive stretch of reality. The only thing the KO Return TDs did was score quickly. I saw nothing on that game that indicates our D would've prevented any points from being scored had we tackled the KO return man. Not sure what the 3rd ST play is you're referring to. Blowing that...

    Collins - Expectations and time to get things right?

    because we clearly weren't already there. Every year, it was "If this one had gone that way and if that had gone this way, blahblahblah". Every single team deals with that kind of stuff. Fact is, we weren't "a few plays away" in every single loss this year. Fact is, we didn't make key plays...

    Collins - Expectations and time to get things right?

    Yep. And settling for an IIWII mentality is unacceptable.

    Brent Key expected to join Georgia Tech staff

    this is a great hire for CGC. What a departure from Sewak!

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    "in ways that $$$ was not going to fix" <> "AT ALL". "in ways" very obviously does not mean "in every single way, shape, or form possible.". There's no stipulation - It's a known fact, as HS coaches have already made clear. And yes, the competition would've recruited negatively against the...

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    You correctly say "Was the scheme used to recruit negative against us? Yes. Effectively? In many cases yes. " Thus, logically there is no debate. A better-funded recruiting staff wasn't going to make opposing coaches NOT use the scheme against us nor was more $$ going to somehow convince...

    2019 Georgia Tech Football Opinion Question

    yes. There are 80 teams that get bowl invites. It's pathetic if you don't get an invite but nothing amazing if you do get an invite to all but about 6 of 'em.

    It would be nice to be good in the other 2 phases of football!

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    The ones not giving up on the past are the ones reacting negatively to the positive outlook being presented by CGC. Your analogy is backward. The "pencil and paper" approach is the scheme and attitudes we've had for the past 11 years. CGC appears to be all about embracing modernity, social...

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    nope, not just the scheme. We're a tough place for kids to qualify, much less be interested in academically. The scheme simply added another big hurdle to an already-difficult place to recruit to. CGC's positivity about using ATL and the GTdegree to our advantage is a welcome change from the...

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    Why take shots at @Techster ? For one thing, there's nothing wrong with a cold 6-pack of Lucky Lager Light and for another, nice facilities and a primo staff (what does this mean - they wear nice suits?) won't get 4-5 star WRs nor OL to play in the CPJ scheme or giant DL to play for Ted Roof's...

    Hype and the GT fanbase

    I read an article right after Collins was hired that quoted a HS coach flat-out saying that CPJ's scheme was a barrier to recruiting and the CGC's scheme will be more attractive for HS seniors than the TO ever was. This validates those who said for years that the scheme hindered recruiting...

    Great Pat Swilling article. Challenging the fans

    What is this thing about Waffle House?

    it'll fatten up our OL and DL.

    Great Pat Swilling article. Challenging the fans

    And why do we play so many noon games? Is that something we can control? Nobody wants to sit in any football stands in September watching a blowout when it's 95 deg. outside. Why can't we play those early blowouts at 7pm? Plenty of other teams do.

    because we were terrible and behind often, due to a hellstorm of injuries seldom seen on any team in college football. I.E. Throw the 2015 baby out with the bathwater! :jimlad:
