My understanding is that Cutcliffe may be a great coach and all but that he has seriously engaged in negative recruiting against Tech since he got there and this may be some evidence of what he likes to say on that topic. I am very curious to read his comments. I guess he deems it a strategy he needs to use against Tech and so sees us as a main competitor over recruits.
I do know that CPJ's teams have played them as if they circle the game on the calendar every year without regard to either teams current conference standings going into it. Same seems to go for UNC so maybe CPJ just likes to try and whoop schools from his own home state.
