  1. Expectations for the 2021 season

    4 first place coastal votes and 1 ACC champ vote? Very interesting indeed. Who would vote that way unless they knew something in particular?
  2. Learning from mistakes, Georgia Tech’s Jeff Sims ‘going to be great’

    Derrick Mason making a comeback would be quite the story. I think JP Mason has a better shot :)
  3. Learning from mistakes, Georgia Tech’s Jeff Sims ‘going to be great’

    Gotta admire the confidence. Let's just hope it's warranted. He certainly has the physical tools and the right attitude. I hope the OL is "scary good" too 😁.
  4. Literature vs Engineering

    If my memory from 10th grade English class is correct, Dickens published his stories 1 segment at a time in magazines so was compensated for verbosity.
  5. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Sounds about right. In our case, though, it would be hard not to eclipse the win % given the 2 cupcakes added to the schedule.
  6. Expectations for the 2021 season

    We can't expect to have the same rate of scoring TDs on the ground in the RZ or tackles in the backfield as we had under CPJ, but we can certainly do a lot better, and we are judged relative to our peers who largely do the same thing.
  7. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Well, when you are last there is nowhere to go but up. That saying is actually not generally true, but in this case Notre Dame will not be listed as an ACC member in 2021 so it's actually true! In all seriousness, I think those stats match what I saw on the field. I think that, physically, and...
  8. A real Debate ( sorry don't make this about CPJ vs CGC )

    I think it depends on what you define as culture. Saban is very structured. He also plays with a stacked deck. Massive talent but also massive resources for analysts, etc. Because of how he has things organized and all the staffers to support the coaches, they can churn through assistants...
  9. A real Debate ( sorry don't make this about CPJ vs CGC )

    Football teams need leadership to be successful. There are a handful of players which can make disproportionate impact on their own, but nearly all the time how the pieces coordinate determines success. Leadership can come from many places and in many different forms, not all of them...
  10. Starting Field Position

    Definitely, although I can see us making progress despite this. Turnovers, FG misses, poor KO/return coverage... all of these are very likely to improve.
  11. Expectations for the 2021 season

    Yes, although triple option isn't even one play. It's just any play that has 2 option reads resulting in 3 possible ball carriers. I wouldn't say spread option is the "correct" description, but it is more accurate than triple, and it's what CPJ called it.
  12. 2021 ACC Coach Rankings

    The rankings are pretty meaningless for CGC at the moment. It does underscore how important this season is to changing national perception, though.
  13. Returning Production

    Showell started one game last year and Oliver 4. They are both contributors for sure, but I don't think either would be expected to start in 2021.
  14. GT Player Deals

    I am glad that CGC is our coach during this time because I could hardly imagine anyone better fit to lead the players here. That said, I disagree with those who say that things won't change except the passage of $ will become transparent. Making it easier to buy players is only going to increase...
  15. Expectations for the 2021 season

    My calc 2 prof was brand new and German, and I didn't have a clue what was going on. He was one of those that didn't use a text at all. I went to math lab and had the tutors there help me understand the homework and managed to get an A. Didn't do calc 1 @ Tech because of AP credit. Later in...
  16. Writer and Analyst ACC Forecasts

    OL is definitely going to be a big determiner of what we can do on offense this year. We have some serious weapons with flexibility in the pass and run game with Gibbs and McGowan. We have some guys who have the potential to pose further matchup nightmares with Boyd stretching the field and...
  17. Writer and Analyst ACC Forecasts

    Yeah, but that line is making them a favorite against Georgia and a lock against everyone else. Note: they lost regular season games to unranked opponents in 2016 and 2017, 2 years out of their 5 year playoff stretch.
  18. Writer and Analyst ACC Forecasts

    Clemson at 11.5 with -135 under. Wow. Note: they open with Georgia.
  19. Bo

    Damn. When are we going to get a story about a coach who found out about abuse going on within their program that sticks their neck out for their players and makes it public? That's the leader I'd want to follow.
  20. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    That tweet is weak sauce. Maybe misinformed due to the NCAA issue/2009 championship.
