[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 137916, member: 1036"] The reason is because Tech is still paying off Hewitt and the team is not generally getting blown out in games. Don't know why the team would be so lackluster at the beginning; maybe tired with a 12.00pm tipoff, which sometimes happens to home teams in early games. They did wake up and put up a good fight. Don't know how great Jimbo Fisher is as a motivator or game manager, but I'm assuming is better than average. And still FSU had problems getting started last year and had to play sharp to get back in most games. Don't know why his players were that way, but it's certain he tried to motivate them each week. Sometimes you get a team that comes out slack no matter how well you try and motivate them. This is probably the issue with Tech's basketball team this year. As far as the comeback goes, either (a) CBG is motivating them to believe and to play well, (b) the players like him enough and want to play hard to save his job, or (c) maybe a combination of both. Either way, the statistics of so many close games going into the L column are overwhelmingly outside statistical chance. It's really puzzling. One or two more shooters on this team, and the record is much different. Let CBG play out his final year, and see if he can turn it around. Nothing lost there. If he does turn it around, most everyone will be happy. Record-wise, Coach Chan Gailey did a better job with the football program, yet from the outside it appeared he didn't really care whether he was at Tech or not, at least not for the long haul... and that was probably a concern for many people. And he never beat Georgia. CBG on the other hand really seems to care, which is why I believe with so many close losses he ought to be given the benefit of the doubt and be allowed to coach out his contract. [/QUOTE]
