    Gasparilla Bowl v UCF postgame celebration bonanza extravaganza

    Brock used to do weekly sessions called “Brock’s Chalk Talk” where he would review a Seahawks play from that week’s game. He would always start each video with the words “Players, Formations, Plays” to highlight the building blocks of every successful team. The guy knows his stuff and is great...

    GT vs UCF - Gasparilla Bowl (was GT vs Troy - Birmingham Bowl)

    That’s probably part of it. They’ve also had a good bit of success against us lately, so that could be influencing the spread. Frankly, Gus Malzahn is a darn good coach, and UCF has been pretty consistently good lately, so I feel like this game will be a tough one. Given our record when we have...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    That would assume that the player is going to get snaps in the bowl game. It’s not out of the question that Brent may have told these players that they aren’t where he wanted them to be at this point in their development and that if they continue on this trajectory then they aren’t likely to...

    Thacker and Tillman

    If we’re not making staff changes until after the bowl game, it seems strange that we would go ahead and move the DB coaches to off-field roles so soon. I can’t imagine we’d try to bring in someone new and try to get them situated before the bowl game; there’s not enough time to install anything...

    GT vs UCF - Gasparilla Bowl (was GT vs Troy - Birmingham Bowl)

    I guess we’ll find out whether our team learned their lesson from Bowling Green and Boston College.

    "They’re running a form of the triple option from the gun"

    I don’t think anyone is poaching Mike Bobo at this point. He’s already tried being a head coach and failed, and he’s at his alma mater working for his old college teammate.

    Bowl Projections & Rumors

    Pinstripe Bowl would still be a great experience for our players. There are a lot of fun things to do in New York, especially around the holidays. I think El Paso would be really fun though. I had a great time both times we went there under CPJ.

    Postgame: UGA 31-GT 23

    When he said that they keep winning in Atlanta because it’s a home game for them, I was so pissed! They may outnumber us even in our own stadium, but that was such a rude, insulting comment! What a jerk!

    Traditions?

    When I was in band, CMo said it was for safety reasons.

    Game 11 #CUSEvsGT Ramblings

    In that case we’ll probably see some big nickel packages with CPL taking over for KJ Wallace to supplement run support. Or maybe Jaylon King takes the hybrid S/LB role. If we do indeed see a lot of option packages from Syracuse, then we should definitely leave Biggers on the field except for...

    Game 11 #CUSEvsGT Ramblings

    Hopefully Scherrer has put in some 4-3 base packages in case of an option-heavy game. Or maybe some Buffalo nickel packages.

    Do we want/need Jimbo Fisher?

    Why would we want the guy who drove our current star QB into the portal? Do we not like having Haynes King on the roster? Buster and Weinke are doing a good job with the offense. Let’s not mess with it.

    Clemson favored early spread

    I envision our offense having a slow start due to Clemson having such a strong defense. We’ll need the defense to play well early on to keep the game close while our offense gets going. Fortunately, our offense seems to get better as the game goes on. Key and Faulkner must have gotten some good...

    Potential DC for Next Year

    I think Ted Roof is a great Tech man and representative of the Institute. I also think he is a solid defensive coordinator. I don’t think he is a good fit for the defensive coordinator job at Tech. It’s a really tough job and requires creativity. It’s too bad Bud Foster was so attached to Beamer...

    Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    I think I get really frustrated because I live on the other side of the country and don’t often get the opportunity to attend games and actually be able to affect the opposing team. Being on campus for the first time in 5 years and seeing the attitude of a significant portion of attendees, I’m...

    Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    I was at the BC game and was quite frustrated at being told to sit down when I was trying to stand up and yell on every defensive down. Back when I was in band, it was frequently drilled into me that “There’s no sitting in football!”

    Game 8 #UNCvsGT Postgame

    On the triple coverage throw, at first I was wondering what on earth he was thinking. After seeing the replay, it looked like the tight end didn’t have anyone within 10 yards of him when the ball was thrown. The coverage closed in quickly on that one. I think King just needs to do a better job...

    In honor of Paul Johnson being at the game tomorrow... what's your favorite memory from his time as coach?

    2016 in Athens. I yelled so loudly on defense that I lost my voice. Then whispered to my RAT “You have to yell loud enough for both of us.” And then a few minutes later I played 3rd Down Chords so loud that I busted my lip. And then had to whisper to my RAT “Now you have to play loud enough for...

    Brent Key is not the answer

    Mostly correct, but Bill Alexander was a Tech man. He played for Heisman and then coached under him before becoming his successor.

    Game 7 #BCvsGT Media

    I think we all assumed he was joking.
