[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 451336, member: 195"] You're right on the 155 for the last 20 years. I had an errors in my spreadsheet. The correct numbers: 1967-2017 (51): 319 wins, 6.3 wins/year; 52.9%, 6.3 wins of 12. 1983-2017 (35): 238 wins, 6.8 wins/year; 55.9%, 6.7 wins of 12 1992-2017 (26) 184 wins, 7.1 wins/year; 57.0%, 6.8 wins of 12 1998-2017 (20) 155 wins, 7.75 wins/year; 60.5%, 7.3 wins of 12 2008-2017 (10) 76 wins, 7.6 wins/year; 58.5%, 7.0 wins of 12 So, saying that we have been a 7 & 5 team on average since joining the ACC would be more accurate than focussing 6 & 6 for the last 50 years. However, saying that we have been an 8 and 4 team over the last 20 years would be a lie. As I said before, I completely disagree with the spin that you are putting on his comment. Still, let me repeat, that I am completely sympathetic with the reaction that CPJ should be using press conferences to sell GT. He should come into the press conference with a narrative that he wants to get across that focuses on what's going well for GT football on offense and defense. Then, rather than responding to questions directly, he should respond by spinning from the question to one of his talking points. However, I have come to accept that CPJ is just going to try and answer the questions. However, it is very difficult to correct someone's misunderstanding of reality without coming off badly. When someone asks a question like, "what explains the downturn in the program," then I think it's legitimate to question the premise that there has been a down-turn in the program. That's what he did. I really don't see how it would be selling the program to say, "Well over the last 20 years we've averaged 8 wins a year, but, yeah, over the last 3, we've only averaged 6 wins a year. Go GT!"
