Clemson hasn't been the same since they lost Chad Morris and Brent Venables. Dabo is not a great head coach, he is a good recruiter that HAD great assistants around him. Most of the recent success has been due to just having better athletes that made up for vanilla play calling. However, with...
While some were just plain wrong calls, my issue has LESS to do with how these refs called holds in general and more with how these refs called them differently between the 2 teams. They were calling everything on us and almost nothing on GSU even though I watched multiple plays where the GSU OL...
On #4, if the refs were just bad refs there would have been bad calls and blatant missed calls for both teams. These refs specifically targeted Tech with BS calls while at the same time completely ignoring clear penalties against State.
That was one of the most lopsided referring I have ever witnessed!!! Those refs should be fired! It wasn't even that they were bad refs, it was clearly all targeted against Tech.
There was all the blatant unbalanced holding penalties. But the one play that sealed the fix from the refs was where...
Following the same logic, if one of the "best" teams is in a playoff or national championship game and loses a close one "due to extenuating circumstances", then they should also have a second chance.
I am not trying to be condescending, but just stating that to me there is no difference in the...
Winning a national championship should be a high burden. The champion should be able to prove they can win when it matters. To me a "better" team losing in a conference championship is no different than a "better" team losing in the first round of the playoffs. Either way they had their shot and...
I'm perfectly okay with only conference champions, but technically there are a few independents in the league so to account for them having a chance we have the 3 at large bids. Also, if the two best teams are in the same conference than the better team will come out on top and keep playing so I...
My ideal playoff hasn't changed since they started talking about going to a playoff from the BCS. It should be 8 teams with all Power conference champions, one highest ranked G5 conference champion, and 3 at large (was 2 at large before this year). I would even be okay expanding it to 12 teams...
I said this before in a couple different threads after he got hired. I believe, this is where Key wants to be long term and he will do whatever it takes to make this program successful. His contract has a lower base salary than TFG but has more incentive based pay. He did this so that he could...
Agreed. It is obvious that people think very little of the strength of the ACC, which was proven by leaving FSU out of the playoffs. And FSU didn't do any favors by not showing up and getting curb stomped by ugag. I think his statement is more to ramp up the external perception of the ACC. If...
As he mentioned, if he doesn't live his message, then how can he expect the players to do the same. He expects them to treat this game as any other game and not focus on the fact that it may be a trap game so that's how he treats it. Additionally he did address the questions. He said that no one...
I don't blame Gibbs for leaving at all with how TFG was tanking this program. He came to Tech despite TFG to be coached by Choice and when Choice left, Gibbs had no reason to stay. Gibbs is still a good ambassador of Tech. For example, during the draft he had both Tech and UA stuff prominently...
I am cautiously optimistic about how they will handle the press. As a long time Tech fan I almost expect to be let down whenever I get my hopes up. However, this team just feels different. They truly seem to embody the culture Key is building about coming to work everyday and treating every game...
The refs were mostly consistent between the teams in not throwing flags and letting them play.
The biggest thing I saw was the missed PI on Rutherford (IIRC) on the 3rd down vs the soft PI call against us when it was typical hand fighting. I addition, I think the facemask penalty against Height...
I noticed this for the first time on the "checks receipts" post (which BTW was one of the greatest posts ever!). I love how the combined moves by McCollum and Haynes "blocked" two players without touching them!!!
I also feel obligated to point out how smart of a football move that was by...
