Can we talk about the ND game now?

I expect a very tough game. I will be happy if we crush them, but I don't expect it. I hope our guys are grown up enough to handle a couple wide margin wins, and news of QBs and RBs injured, without getting over confident.
Yes. And what helped last year's team grow up was learning early how to handle close games. If this game is close Tech will have to learn in a hurry against big time competition.

Kind of. It was political correctness that got him.
Telling the truth on a transcript is now political correctness? O.K., we will just have to disagree.

I honestly believe that Notre Dame hated how this ended. They really wanted O'Leary as coach but given their honor code they were in a corner and had to let him go. It was really just a sad situation all the way around. I felt bad for everyone involved.

With a new ND qb.
The old Groh defense would bend bend because surely he would make a mistake.
The new roof roof defense will do the opposite. Blitz the run lanes and rotate coverage. Pick. 6 please

@GTNavyNuke I was with you last week about wanting ND to lose but not this week on puke.

The new reality is that getting into the playoffs requires record and reputation (of conference). Our SOS is hard enough that a 1 loss season ACC championship should get us into the playoffs.

However, if the ACC is seen as week, ooc so far, then we're easily the 1st guys out, other things equal. They might even put a 2loss sec champ in ahead of us.

Oh, and fwiw, Northwestern is one word: NU not NW.
Agreed. Hate Duke as much as the next person but we can no longer afford to be viewed as an average team in a poor conference if we want to make the playoffs.

They wanted the African American coach. I'm glad they got him.
