    Disappointment

    Later you said: Your first post seems to be in response to my post where I said, "... Also, it involves the suspicion that we can't afford top dollar HC, DC, & OC nor will we be able to out recruit ACC competition." Notice that it doesn't say that we can't compete at this level but "the...

    Disappointment

    Imo, the opinion is NOT that CPJs system is the only one that can work at GT. Rather, it's a concern that we need top gameday coaching to regularly compete. Also, it involves the suspicion that we can't afford top dollar HC, DC, & OC nor will we be able to out recruit ACC competition. So...

    Georgia Tech @ Duke (-17.5)

    I suspect it began as a way of preparing for us, maybe good vs good, and then moved into the rotation. vpisu ran some triple, at least against us, a few years ago

    Best chance for a win ?

    I agree with most of this. I think our talent was not put in the best position to win in games 2-5, even with a transition from CPJ to what CGC wants to do. While I'm not sure about the decision to not start Graham sooner, I agree that we've been too inconsistent to predict future success. I...

    Reasons to be optimistic!

    I used "job" in the colloquial sense of a task to be done. Also, I can appreciate how hard it is to moderate this forum and disagree with how it is done. I had a longer response, but I think everyone can see that after admitting my post was deleted in error, you took a couple of public pot...

    Disappointment

    From what I could tell, it was a they said - they said situation. Both OL commits claimed that they hadn't heard from GT. GT claimed that they were honoring all commitments. I think it's up to each person to determine what they think most likely happened. It doesn't do any good for anyone to...

    Reasons to be optimistic!

    I'm not an expert on juice. I feel pretty good about my ability to use statistics to assess team performance at a macro level. So, while many were pointing to "reasons for optimism" on the field, I resisted this based generally on stats and opposition strength. With that being said, juice is...

    Reasons to be optimistic!

    No. I reported my own post so that the moderators would see proof that my deleted post was a fair representation of what our coach said, and I asked for an explanation of why it was removed. That was 4 hours ago, and I have not had any response. Of course, they don't owe me a response. So...

    Disappointment

    Obviously. However, with that being said, the phrase "worse than expected," is typically used with respect to a generalization. IIrc, most prognosticators predicted we'd win 3 games. It seems reasonable that most believed one of those would be the Citadel. On this site, I do not remember a...

    Disappointment

    Fwiw, I agree that Collins and his staff are doing the best they can with what they have. That's not the same as doing the best anyone could with what they have.

    Has fan apathy already set in?

    I haven't read past the first page in this thread, but I wanted to reply to this post. Check out the "Reasons to be Optimistic" thread. I literally had a post deleted in which I said I agreed with CGC about our reasons to be optimistic regarding our juice crew etc. Apparently somebody who...

    Too Early PPDvsPwr5 Rankings

    Good Question/Observation. I use the raw stats from against FBS Pwr5 opponents from cfbstats.com. As of yesterday's games, 92 FBS teams have played at least 2 Pwr5 opponents. So, those rankings are from 92 teams.

    Too Early PPDvsPwr5 Rankings

    Obviously, my points/drive stat is more susceptible to strength of schedule this early in the season, but I thought I'd go ahead and give it a go. For example, it's possible that Temple's games against Maryland and GT are not really representative of their strength against the Pwr5 generally...

    Reasons to be optimistic!

    The post you are quoting was apparently deleted. However, this is what I said from you quoting it (underline added): I agree with CGC: The juice crew never gives up. They are on the sidelines jumping and being energetic like elite teams apparently do. We have guys that are relentlessly...

    Disappointment

    I agree. Pretending that we are not playing worse than expected doesn't help

    Bright spots...

    You are right. Our QB had a 23.3 QB rating leading many to conclude he's the obvious answer we've been looking for. Our defense allowed a team averaging ~30% on money down to covert ~50%. As I've said before, we're showing juice and energy. We could flip the script and have a great season...

    Disappointment

    Not only that ... They think people are stupid or evil for expecting better. Last year, we were #11 in my offensive ppdvpwr5 stat, not in the acc but in the country. Yet, we're told that we should be satisfied with this.

    Some don't see your obvious sarcasm, but I got you. Well done.
