Here are my favorite 2021 Georgia Tech football memories:

• Watching the Jackets decisive win over ranked unc in prime time with an absolutely rocking MB stadium crowd. Kudos to the GTAA for making it a true home team advantage.
• Tailgating again with friends on Tech's beautiful campus!
• The football team taking care of business from start to finish against a good fcs team. A big improvement over 2019 :)
• Seeing Jahmyr Gibbs run the football!
• Cheering on the Jackets at every home game in the heart of midtown Atlanta in the most historic college football stadium in the country.
• The way GT players and coaches represented the Institute with the media and public.
• An 85% Graduation success rate!
• Coach Collins (like Coach Curry when I was at Tech) recognizing the need to make changes to his coaching and to the staff.
• The players, coaches and staff for keeping a strong recruiting class together. Welcome to the Flats!

Best wishes to all for 2022!

Go Jackets!!

Really want to Echo that the MBS game against UNC this year was incredible. (Mercurial, in hindsight) As a current student getting out in May, that game was the happiest I’ve been watching GT football in my time as a student, and gave me visions of the much more fun seasons of my childhood. Closest I’ve felt to 2009 / 2014 feelings at a game (didn’t attend Miracle on Techwood)

Walking out of HGF/BDS before halftime of COFH - putting an end to a miserable season.
I was at the Benz for the UNC game and as I sat there watching I thought, "they really are overrated. Because we're terrible and we're doing this to them."

Why would anyone start this thread? It’s like pouring salt into a wound.

Sentimental types, I guess.
It was a bad year, but even a bad one is a good one because it's good just to be alive.
I mean, a crummy season is better than no season at all. That's my favorite 2021 memory.

I loved it when cgc and thacker were discussing a goof up and then cgc errupted at thacker - the back ups were schocked. Thacker was all up and down the sideline talking into head set.

Not sure anything will happen that gets cgc caught up from his poor strategic decisions. At least it could be we have stopped falling further behind while we add players.

I was there when people felt the same way about Bill Curry. Geoff Collins is in a very similar situation to Curry in 1982. Coach Curry won 1 game in 1980 and Ug won the MNC. Curry won 1 game again in 1981, trailing Ug 0-34 at half before losing 7-44. CBC was not popular to say the least, and his inexperience as a head coach was obvious at times. Homer Rice, who did not hire Curry, believed in him and his fit with GT and kept him, and Curry's 1982 team went 6-5.

Curry made mistakes, learned, worked hard and turned the program around. I can see a similar outcome happening with CGC. He has acknowledged the shortcomings. Our recruiting base has improved, needed changes have been made to the staff, and the team is hungry for success. Winning the opener against CU@MB is key, in my opinion.

I hope it works out that way. I admire you optimists, I really do. Don't know what we would do without you.

Made the 4 hr drive from Flint to South Bend with my 7 year old son. It was his first game he’s ever been too and couldn’t have picked a better place, besides BDS of course, to take him to his first game. Even though we got completely rolled and we left early in the 3rd, it was worth minute of it to see the look on his face as we walked into a 100,000 seat stadium he has only seen on tv.
