    GT at uGA Post Game

    Side note, but I’d love if COFH can lock down the Black Friday night game time slot for the foreseeable future. With our program’s trajectory and the mutts being the mutts, we should be set up for some gangbusters for years to come that are worthy of a standalone national TV audience like last...

    GT at uGA Post Game

    Was also in the stands tonight — this one hurts real bad, can’t think of a more heartbreaking loss for any team I’ve rooted for across sports. Lotta uga fans in my section left when we went up 27-13 with 6 minutes and I thought “man, they are a lot less confident in uga / more confident than...

    Bowl Opponent Speculation

    To put a bow on this week’s projections, here’s where all the various outlets have us: Sports Illustrated: Holiday vs Washington CBS: Military vs Memphis 247Sports: Mayo vs Michigan Action Network: Sun vs USC USA Today: Birmingham vs LSU Sporting News: Sun vs USC ESPN 1: Pinstripe vs Nebraska...

    2024 non-GT games thread

    In fact all 12 of them have Miami & SMU in. Pleasantly surprised. 1 even had Clemson in at the expense of Indiana (don’t agree with that unless Clemson beats SCar by 40 and Indiana struggles mightily vs 1-10 Purdue). Obviously a lot can change during rivalry week, but 2 ACC teams in would be a...

    Hate Week Opening Line

    Boy that is high. I was expecting between 13.5 and 16.5. I guess oddsmakers think uga really turned a corner last week. Only FBS opponent they beat by 20+ was Clemson week 1

    Nc State Postgame

    3 times! Think it was 16 to 17 after the kickoff, 9 to 10 after the first pass, and 5 to 6 before the FG. I get that it's infeasible to review the clock after every play to make sure it's exactly accurate, but always found it a bit silly how seconds are gained/lost willy nilly for 58 minutes of...

    Bowl Opponent Speculation

    Someone said it in this thread or somewhere else, but the net change is zero. The 4 playoff teams that lose in the round 1 games on campus take up zero NY6 bowl game spots, while the 4 semifinal participants will take up 2 NY6 bowl game spots each. Cancels out

    GT Miami Post Game

    BEAUTIFUL win! Offensively, reminded me of the uga game last year when we threw the book at em with misdirections, motions, etc. When King was in they knew we were running it and we still kept them off balance enough with all the wrinkles to be extremely effective. A little annoying knowing...

    GT VT Post Game

    Big time agree. In 7 (nearly) full games, King’s TD/Int/Yds line this year is 8/1/1,568. 13 game pace of 15/2/2,912. Last year he threw for 27/16/2,842. Big drop in interceptions is great, but we’re also missing out on almost a full passing TD per game. Yardage is about the same, but without...

    GT VT Post Game

    What a frustrating season this has morphed into. Last year’s O the second half of the season paired with this year’s D would be 7-2 minimum. (stubbing our toe at either Syracuse or Louisville would be understandable as would a loss vs ND. Today would’ve been a comfortable win.) All the tough...

    Duke/GT 10/5 set for an 8pm kick on ACC Network

    If you're a fan of night games (I am), the ACC Network and CW TV deals have been such a blessing. 2 more potential slots for night games that we didn't have before. The 8PM ACCN game is probably one of the last picks amongst the networks since it goes up against the ESPN Game of the Week, but it...

    What is your personal record in GT road games?

    Do not fret, this was my only road game this year! Now if we open next year with an L against the Shedeur, Travis Hunter, and (probably) Coach Prime-less Buffalos in Boulder, then you know exactly where to lay the blame 🙋‍♂️

    What is your personal record in GT road games?

    Got me thinking after watching another winnable road game slip away from the stands. Curious who here has the best & worst records watching our guys in enemy territory. For myself, I’m 5-12 (5-6 from the sidelines when I worked for the team as a student, 0-6 in the stands 😬) Wins: 2016 uga...

    Louisville Postgame

    Was in the stands today, agree with a lot of the posters here that offensive playcalling was the main issue, particularly with being too predictable running on 1st down, and head scratching red zone calls. The 3rd and 4th down and goal calls in the beginning of the 4th were particularly...

    On To Louisville

    https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/matchups/georgia-tech-vs-louisville/ Open as a 10.5 point dog, O/U 57.5. Implied score of 34-24. Feels about right, wouldn’t be surprised to see it get bet down a point to 9.5 or so. I’m hopeful this is the game it clicks for the offense and we put...

    Ideal Football Opponents

    Good call. Tulane is another team I’d love to see us play with some regularity, both for the history and Nola. Maybe once every 4 years or so

    Ideal Football Opponents

    Prompt stolen from r/CFB. If all conferences were abolished tomorrow, who would you want Tech to play? For me, our annual opponents would be: Georgia Clemson Auburn Duke North Carolina Virginia Tech FSU/Miami Tennessee/SCar/Vandy/Florida/Bama Virginia/NC State/Wake Forest Comparable...

    Article CFP unanimously approves 5+7 model for new 12-team playoff

    To be clear, I think it's dumb that the revenue distribution is unequal. All P4 should get equal payouts. That said, if we're going to base payouts on past CFP performance and predicted future performance, how is the ACC roughly equal to the Big XII? The Big XII's flagship football program next...

    Coach Paul Johnson Tears Into Geoff Collins

    That anonymous coach he mentions has to be Justin Fuente or Bud Foster. Beat VT 3 years in a row from 2016-2018, then they bagel us 45-0 in Atlanta in 2019

    Conference Realignment

    Yep. Miami and VT falling from their perch as perennial top-10 teams in the 2000s is what hurt the ACC the most. For youngins like me it’s easy to forget that Miami played in 6 straight major bowl games from 2000-2005 (if you count the Peach Bowls), including 2 Nattys — they have played in 1...
