[QUOTE="Jerry the Jacket, post: 473869, member: 65"] First I want to thank YJAlleyCat and GTpdm for letting my brother and I use their tickets for the game. They are great Tech fans and we enjoyed the chance to get to know them a little bit and spend some time at their tailgate. We also had a chance to say hello to DrJacket and his wife while picking up the tickets. Always fun to meet the folks behind the posting handles. It was beautiful day for football and despite the outcome of the game we had a lot of fun interacting with other Tech fans and taking in the pageantry of college football. The trumpet solo of the National Anthem was awesome followed by the flyover of the F18's which rattled everything around us and reminded me of how great it is to live in the best place on earth. The entrance of the Ramblin Wreck followed by our beloved Yellow Jackets to the refrain of the finest fight song ever written was just a joy to behold. It was a hard fought game and I think the 2 teams were fairly evenly matched. The defense looked shaky at the start but they rallied to play well for the most part the remainder of the game. Our offense had problems getting untracked and I credit Duke for just making it tough on us to make any chunk yardage all day. We could get 3 to 6 yards pretty consistently all day but just could not break any big plays. I think that frustrated us and led to some mistakes late in the third quarter. It was an even game until we gifted them with 3 fumbles, which they converted to 21 points and effectively closed the door on us. As Coach has said so many times, our margin of error is thin and when we make mistakes like turnovers and penalties it is going to be hard for us to win. I think those of you who feel that Duke has a vastly better program than Tech are overstating the situation. For sure our programs are comparable at this point but I think both would be considered middle of the road in the overall scheme of college football today. Would I like to see us in the top 10 competing for National Championships, well hell yeah I would. But we are not there and have a lot of work to do to get there. But that does not mean we can never aspire to be there. For now we need to keep working and trying to get better at everything involved with the program. Next game is Virginia Tech. A team that we can beat if we minimize our mistakes and play with some passion. Looking forward to that and hopefully a better outcome for our Yellow Jackets. Let's hang in there and continue to support our boys. There is still a lot of football left to played in 2018. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
