    A Thread to Rehash GT HC Comparisons

    I keep seeing 73-7 references. I was at GT-UGA 2018. Had Kirby wanted to, as Dabo did this year, he could’ve put up 70-80 points. UGA scored without resistance on all first half possessions. Pulled starters early. UGA ‘18 was “it” for me. I’ve never seen a GT team so PHYSICALLY DOMINATED to...

    Starting QB speculation

    With Mason out, I’d like to see Gleason come in for some Red-zone snaps. He’s a fluid downhill runner and his size (~225) is a plus.

    Starting QB speculation

    JG has been QB4 all year.

    The Late Kick showing GT some love...again.

    One thing is clear whether we want to admit it or not: Georgia Tech football needed a revamped “brand” in order to take advantage of the unbelievably competitive recruiting hotbed in which GT is situated. The game has evolved since 2008–recruiting is King now more than ever before. Ironically...

    ATL week 2

    If true, that explains Dontae Smith’s appearance during crunch time at FSU. Mason is such a closer, and it didn’t make sense for him not to be in the game at all at that point. Hope it’s not true, and for the record, Smith earned some touches going forward

    Jeff Sims' First Collegiate Game

    It was obvious within the first 5 or 6 plays why Jeff EARNED the job. If the competition was truly neck and neck, we’ve got a stable—for now. Beyond proud of Sims.

    Who Emerged This Year & What Did They Show You?

    Guys who consistently played well: Ahmarean Brown, JP Mason, Tre Swilling (this is not an exhaustive list) Guys who showed flashes: Adonicas Sanders, Jamious Griffin Guy who surprised me: James Graham. I appreciate his effort, improvement, toughness, body language, and willingness to sit in...

    Georgia Postgame

    Fair points. And if we see more of the same next season I’ll be just as upset. On to 2020.

    Georgia Postgame

    I agree that context matters. And we did have closer games that year. However we were coming off of an 11-win season and had most of our OL returning (lost shaq). Our coach then had several classes of “his guys.” CGC did not create this lack of depth. He certainly hasn’t had 6 seasons to bring...

    Georgia Postgame

    First: Regardless of the final score, the game was more bearable to watch than last season’s COFH. Last year the game was over by the end of the 1st Quarter. Our offense was equally as pitiful last year and our D was like warm butter. We are improving. That said, we are still miles away from...

    When you KNEW you hated UGag

    2006. I was a young GT fan attending the game with a UGA buddy and his dad. GT took a lead into the 3rd and the defense was playing lights out. Reggie gets tackled, resulting in a scrum. Tony Taylor emerges from the pile an ETERNITY later for the go-ahead score. Tech ultimately lost 15-12 on the...

    Virginia Postgame

    Big transformation from Week 1 to today. We have an offensive identity. Our guys play hard. We would’ve been beat 45-0 by UVA 6 weeks ago. Genuinely excited about our future going forward. 5-6 weeks ago it looked as if we wouldn’t compete against P5 teams for another 2 years. Those that claimed...

    Is college football near the end as we know it.

    Exactly. There is no limit or rationality when it comes to donor spending. Our fans, including myself, may not understand or agree with it—but the factories will have enough dough to set up full recruiting classes with endorsement deals. Players will understand that if I go to X School, they...

    Is college football near the end as we know it.

    My gut reaction was that only a handful of players would actually bring in big $. However, given the recruiting landscape/craze, all 4* guys—at minimum—will be “offered” some sort of endorsement opportunity. Even if they create rules which prevent such offers before stepping on campus (good luck...

    Has Georgia Tech Football entered the Bill Lewis Era part II?

    This is a sad thread. Gripers will gripe. Let's move on.

    JP MASON!!!!

    Saw a video of JP Mason bouncing around enjoying the W among a crowd of players in the locker room--looked fine, and I took it as a good sign. We're going to need him. He caught my eye in person at Clemson, and has continued to make people miss at an extremely high rate. Wonder how many YAC the...

    Miami Postgame #GTvsMIA

    GREAT WIN for this program and our coaching staff. Hats off to the O--specifically JP Mason. Hats off to the D when it mattered. Hats off to James Graham, stepping up when it mattered against a talented defense; the throw before the half was incredible. Patenaude called a better game, which is...

    Apples and Oranges

    Tobias completed 7 passes last season. Against VT, he ran it 40 times. He is an extremely talented runner and deserves to be getting more touches (and should've gotten a lot more snaps against Citadel), but he has not proven himself as a passer at this point. Surround any of our 3 QBs with the...
