Let' make conjecture on our 2018 schedule, which usually comes out after The Masters or so it seems. We know we have Alcorn State at home the 1st week and @ South Florida the 2nd week. I'm guessing @ Pitt in week 3 and Miami in BDS week 4. Bowling Green is scheduled to visit the 5th week.

I'll need some help from here in.

I'll I know is that our OOC and Homes schedule is not Sexy... I do not want to pay to see Alcorn St or Bowling Green, Duke, Virginia.... the only two home games worth a darn will be Miami and Clemson... Not sure if I will reup my season tix... I might wait to see who the QB is Lucas Johnson or Tobias Oliver I might buy some tickets, but If I have to watch TQM another year... Count me out!

BYE
Miami

Virginia Tech (gets bye before playing us)

Eww that stretch of Miami, Clemson, VaTech will be rough. Physically on the players and mentally on the fan based if we can't pull 2 of the games out. I do like getting Louisville early though. Their whole offense the last two years has revolved around Jackson making plays with his legs.

Yea I put it like that since we have to have some crazy part in our schedule, seems like we always get stuff like this happening to us.

I think at this point GT goes 8-4 with losses to Miami,Clemson,Virginia Tech and UGAG or Loserville
Well we could go 6-6 with losses to Miami,Clemson,Virginia Tech or UVA, UGAG, Loserville by also losing 2 to any of the following three (DUKE, UNC, PITT)

Lets be real TQM is no Justin Thomas on his best day he is a shade below Tevin Washington who everyone hated as QB.... Our best bet to go 7-5 or 8-4 is with Lucas Johnson or Tobias Oliver!

Duke and UVA could be good games and Alcorn State may be worth it just to see their band. If you are making your decision to buy season tickets on one position player, then if you really are “out”, then on your way out, don’t let the doorknob hit what the good Lord split.

I love being at Bobby Dodd regardless of who they play although I admit big games (opponents) are more fun. If TQM earns the starting spot then I am behind him 100%. He has the off season to improve his passing-keep in mind that he has bounced back and forth between positions in the past. Have to improve passing percentage to be successful for sure!

I get season tickets to see Tech play not the other team.

The issue for me is that DUKE, UVA and Alcorn and Bowling Green should never be good games!!! We should win by a country mile... Yes I will not let the door knob hit me on the way out, but ensure when folks complain about lack of fans at the games... You need to bring up how you are always ready to watch DUKE, UVA and ALCORN ST as great games to go to!!! The rest of us will wait for better scheduling!!!

I did to, but after the 2015 season and this season.... I have lost faith..... I like CPJ, but it was hard to watch the team get worse every week after the chick fil game... TQM was not answer, and I do not even need to talk about the defense.... I will still come to the games, but with such poor OOC scheduling it is hard for my to justify buying season tickets after the 2015, and 2017 seasons... I guess you could say I have been snake bitten... I think our family will come out for a few games, but it will take back to back 9 plus win seasons or a head coaching change to get us to buy season tickets again... Still a fan, just not at Bobby Dodd as often that last 6 years have been good as holders (not 2015 or 2017)

Duke and UVA are mandatory games, you won’t get better scheduling. Every team in the country has games like this, and yet fans still show up.

Everyone has their reasons to get season tickets or not and it's not my place to say anything you have your reasons. But remember we only lost 1 home game last year. ( 8 months is a long time to get some faith back)

Of course our season didn’t end like we would have hoped for, but it wasn’t as bad as it seems. Remember, we were just 3 plays away from being an 8 win team. And who knows what happens with the Duke game if we were going in as an 8 win team. Remember the 2014 season we all like to talk about? We could have very easily lost some games we won and it wouldn’t have been much different than this year. Give us a couple bounces this coming up year and we could win 8+ wins
