I don't think people object to the repetition of topics per se. After, it's a relatively simple game and there isn't that much that can be said about it at the end of the day without repetition.
I don't need to explain me being the biggest Tech fan there is. It just irritates me when people make derogatory remarks about CPJ and his years. He was our best coach in my life time of Tech football. Dating back to 1969. We have moved on in a new direction, I just don't like what I see so far from the new staff. In many respects. Start winning and I will change my mind.
Oh and as for me being a UGA grad...this is true. But I posses no love for Georgia and do not support them in any way. I want them to lose every game they play. When I was at UGA I would cheer for Tech during the UGA Tech game and wear a gold tie.
7 first round picks, 5 second round picks and 7 third round picks. Only Miami, FSU and Clemson have more 1st round picks from the 14 ACC teams since 2000 than BC. Compare that to GT and we are significantly worse. Through round three are top 100 picks which the NFL views as significant starter or higher capability. Look at when our teams excelled, there is a very high correlation to the teams that had the most NFL caliber players in the time period you outlined - 2005 to present. Real talent actually matters. What do Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Miami, Florida, Georgia, USC, Florida State and Oklahoma have in common since 2000? All but Georgia have won a National Championship. Only 3 other teams have won NCs since 2000 - Texas, Auburn and Clemson. They are all in the top 20 of players drafted by the NFL. If you want GT to actually compete for more than The Coastal Division we MUST acquire a lot more NFL talent level players, If you are good with competing for the Coastal Division than what we did in the past will work every 5+ years. This isn't rocket science. Regardless of the Coach elite level talent is required to play for National Championships.
Same here, all except for the tie...(but wore the white and gold).
Comparing anyone to BL is idiotic. So, right there you're losing credibility. Next, last year means nothing. Anyone counting last year's wins/losses is idiotic. So, strike 2. Finally, Bobby Ross has 5 wins after his first two seasons at Tech. So, let's see what Collins has after Year 2 (yes, this is Year 2, not Year 3).
And I am not disagreeing one bit. But at Georgia Tech you are not going to get a lot of NFL talent. We never have. Calculus. Does that mean we can't get some and win the ACC. Sure, but it is going to take coaching and scheme. That is how Dodd did it. We can't line up and run what everybody else is running. Shotgun Spread.
That ship sailed when CPJ resigned and the AD decided to move away from the "3O" style offense. There are a lot of reasons for that decision. Regardless, we "GT", decided to go in a different direction. All in the AD knew moving in the different direction would be difficult and a long road process. We are still 2-3 years from knowing if moving away from a CPJ style offense will allow us to compete for ACC Championships or not. Patience is required or the journey will be miserable.
Are you intentionally being inflammatory?
Yeah, when I look at Tech’s history I am struck by the fact that Tech’s most successful coaches were innovators who were not running the same offense as everyone else.
And let me be clear, when I say scheme I don't mean just run CPJs offense. CRF ran a multiple scheme. One play he was TO from the wishbone to next play run and shoot from 5 wide. I keep saying, look at Coastal Carolina. Now that is a difficult offense to defend. Is it "Pro Style" I guess not what ever that means. It would seem offensive players would want to play in an offense that scores and wins games. Every College player that turns pro basically has to be re-trained.
Yes Bobby Ross only won 5 game his first 2 years BUT did win 7 in the 3rd year, if we win 7 I would think 90% would be happy ( no sure we could get 100% happy no matter what we do ) . Sorry to say last year did count the wins and loses are in the record books and if I remember there was a National Championship game. ( if you play it counts if there are if.s in football then I guess your saying uga was right not counting the games we won during WW2. )
And if the NCAA isn't going to count last year as a year of eligibility for the players, then I'm not going to count it as a year on the "schedule" of progress for CGC. Not worried about W/L for the team, just no W/L in terms of assessing the progress of CGC.
Eligibility has not got one thing to do if you count the season if you played the games they count. HeII lets not count 2015 because of all the injuries we can all pick games not to count. If we look hard we can get those 512 loses down to 300.
Sorry bud, last year definitely counts no matter how much you don't want it to.
I'm sure there would be an argument which half to count and which not to count.
