    Florida State Schadenfreude

    Didn’t Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell play really well in college?

    2024 non-GT games thread

    I think our DL did pretty well against Syracuse. The problem was that our DBs weren’t able to sustain coverage long enough for the pass rush to get to McCord, so he kept getting the ball out super fast.

    Game 5 #GTvsLOU Predictions

    I feel gross saying it, but Louisville by a touchdown. We’ve had a film disadvantage in all our games except F$U, and we somehow manage to still have a significant film disadvantage in week 4. If Faulkner could have significant film on our opponents playing against evenly matched teams, he could...

    2024 non-GT games thread

    It’s possible that Oregon might not be as good as they were last year, but they’re usually pretty good, and I wouldn’t write them off at this point.

    Syracuse Post Game

    I actually can’t fault the defense too much. McCord was making throws into tight windows off his back foot a half second before getting hit. Our offense really needed to be able to run the ball, and the O-Line didn’t get any push. This is what happens when you leave the band at home.

    Game 3 #SYRvsGT Predictions

    The thing I hadn’t thought about that worries me a bit is that this is Tech’s first game in who knows how long that won’t have the Georgia Tech Marching Band. I honestly hope they don’t get weirded out when they score a touchdown and don’t hear anything. Hoping they can keep the energy level up...

    Game 3 #SYRvsGT Predictions

    If we need a bruiser in the red zone, there’s always Pyron. And Hawes can act as a lead blocker.

    Thoughts on Syracuse

    I think it depends. I’ve had some great BBQ in Seattle, but the secret is that the owner grew up and learned to make BBQ in Texas, so the brisket tastes like something you’d find in a suburb of Houston.

    Game 3 #SYRvsGT Predictions

    I think we can win, but the 2016 is the last time I remember us not losing a game we shouldn’t. It would take a long stretch of dominance to get rid of that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. However, Syracuse is not intimidating enough to predict a loss outright, so I’m going with...

    Georgia State Post Game thread

    As someone who was at the Oregon game yesterday and saw a “top 3” team struggle to put away an FCS team, I think our game went pretty well.

    FSU Post game thread

    I think the biggest thing that gave the negative recruiting staying power was not the formation or play calling but the personnel. A-backs had virtually no chance at making an NFL roster because their skill sets and experience didn’t translate perfectly into the established positions that were...

    FSU Post game thread

    Must be something in the water in Florida. Mario Cristobal seems to have the same arrogant tendencies.

    What are your GameDay menus and plans?

    For me, the game will be at 9am, so I’ll make beignets. A friend is coming over to watch the game with me, and we’ll probably drink some local Seattle beers in the second half after filling up on beignets in the first half.

    Depth Chart

    This latest recruiting class must be pretty good! I counted 10 different true freshmen on the depth chart. Also, I suspect Buster has an interesting game plan for Saturday. Normally, one starting WR would be a big X- type receiver. However, all three starting receivers are either slot/y or...

    Favorite Underrated Tech Players

    I always felt that Jemea Thomas was underrated. He always played so clutch, but it didn’t always feel like he got credit for his accomplishments.

    New recruit Petty $800,000 per year NIL

    My cynical view is that it won’t be curbed or regulated until Blue Blood programs start losing players to smaller schools on a regular basis because of NIL. If, for example, a georgie recruiting class gets picked apart by schools like GT, UVA, TCU, etc. then I wouldn’t be surprised if there were...

    OL Discussion

    The extra exciting thing is that we only have to lose Franklin and Williams, so bringing in all that talent means more competition and more depth!

    OL Discussion

    I think it’s too early to panic about LB and CB. We know Efford is good. Tatum has shown flashes. Lightsey and Hamilton seem to be at least solid depth pieces if not better than that. In the secondary, we don’t know that we only have 3 starter level players. We know that we have at least 3 in...

    OL Discussion

    I’m not sure that info is very accurate. It lists Gore as a NT and Biggers as a 3T. That should be swapped. Also, I don’t think Chase Lane is big enough to be an X; that should be Blackburn.

    What’s the worst weather at a Tech game you can remember?

    I was there. It was incredibly windy, but it wasn’t too bad in the stands. During pregame, however, the wind almost knocked me over while I was on the field.
