Sure thing! Been here about 6 years and it definitely takes some getting used to hearing people refer to "Tech" and it being Texas Tech. And people STILL think option football when I tell them I went to GT. Goes to show how little attention outsiders give acc football beyond Clemson
Yep. ACC football ain’t a thing out here at all. I’m not sure they know it exists
people think calvin johnson played in the option too lol people act shocked when i say it started after him
I don’t think anyone thinks that actually
in a recent reddit thread about common misconceptions about your team one of the top comments is about calvin johnson not playing in the option and a lot of people pretty much agreed and said they had no idea. it’s a very common belief of non tech fans
it’s the biggest college football forum on the internet. just because you disagree doesn’t make it not true smh
The ihop menu has more variety than P nuts plays
I drove by the local ihop today around noon and was astounded to see the parking lot full. Who is eating that at noon on a monday, especially with a waffle house right next door and numerous other restauraunts within a stone's throw?Well yeah, but have you looked at an IHOP menu lately
You'd be surprised. I live in Corpus Christi & I've heard more than one person conflate Megatron with the Flexbone. Then again, one of 'em also thought my GT logo ballcap was GP for Gregory-Portland, a local high school.
To answer the last part - there isn’t a next generation. I’m telling you straight up, I raised my kids as God fearing GT fans. They don’t wear red and my son who is the typical nerdy quiet type talks more trash about UGA than I do and y’all know I never shut up! UGA was NEVER a consideration even though every mutt breathing teacher and counselor were pushing him that way. It was awesome to watch him stand firm. He even roasted his peers a little during his graduation speech. He was astonished and a little upset when he quickly realized that his freshmen peers last year could care less. One game he left early because he was so disgusted and when he got back to his dorm there was a group of students in the TV room so he stopped in to commiserate and watch the end of the game. And of course, they were watching soccer. It is what it is. Enjoy it while it lasts because this model GT has been following won’t last.
Academic funds are not necessarily available for the athletic department. However, student fees can be up to a given dollar amount. I believe that is already happening to help subsidize the GTAA.
This seems to fly in the face of the commonly accepted theory that our previous OL wasn’t built to run his offense. The guys we had were more ideally suited to run outside RPO concepts. I can’t figure out what the man was trying to run but I’m guessing he was after a PRO not an RPO. Based on the plays actually run, I would hazard a guess the data would reveal more inside than outside when he did run a RPO/PRO. The last time I sifted thru replays to count plays it was about 20% of the time.
i also think he was terribly predictable and didn’t operate within the confines of the ability of the team. i think if i had to watch us effectively march down the field in the gun only to get under center on short yardage one more time i was gonna blow my brains out. getting under center is not effective but he continued to do that every time even though we did not have the personnel to do that
