FSU game thread

Georgia Tech versus Florida State. Seminoles coach Mike Norvell leads a tribe of airborne natives into Ireland to feast on some mean spirited Yellow Jackets. But as any Florida State swamper will tell you, a Seminole can cut to you to ribbons if they have arrows in their quiver. This year though, they rank 85th returning production and the arrowheads are looking dull. The Yellow Jackets have something to prove and a bee sting this early in the season can hurt like hell. Leonard's Loser, in a close one, Florida State.

Is that a nod to an old newspaper columnist?

At end of game, just tell me we have over 250 yds recieving with our top 3 recievers. Then sprinkle in 100 yds to rest.
With that the RB will gash them without the qb being our second best rb.

Turning the Yellow Jackets Loose

Bradley’s Buzz: Brent Key has rendered Georgia Tech relevant again

Nov. 27, 2021: Georgia Tech lost 45-0 at home to Georgia. It marked a nadir — never had the Yellow Jackets lost by more to their arch-enemy — though it felt less a blip than the arrival of a new normal. Six weeks later, the Bulldogs won their first national championship since Herschel Walker was...

For anyone who has an interest, Andy Demetra will be interviewed on ACC PM (ACC Network) between 5:00 and 6.00 PM today. Also, Chris Cotter of ESPN is Co-hosting with Mark Packer.

Chris is a 1993 GT graduate. I noticed he also has a Masters degree from the school to the East. He was just discussing the absence of the FSU-Miami match up in the ACC championship game.

Just for everyone's info!

As much as I’d like to believe that, it’s still college football. Crazy things can happen. I guarantee we will loose one we’re supposed to win, and win one we’re supposed to loose.

I just hope we don’t have an embarrassment like last year. We need to put on a good showing in every game to keep this recruiting class

yep--I could see us beating fsu and losing to GaSt (a perfect trap game)

You got it backwards.....we play 'em close until the 4th, and then we put the hammer down. Tech 35-24.

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia Tech program that was about as low as it could go is suddenly filled with optimism.

Guiness and Whiskey reports would be greatly appreciated. Food also if you have time to eat in between the drinking. I'd like to hit the ground running when I get there. Gotta pack as much into the 84 hrs we're in Dublin as we can.

Have to start off with a big fry. That involves rashers, stringers, black pudding, white pudding, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms, along side Irish soda bread. The Irish know how to each a hearty breakfast.

Love this quote soooo much!
Boy I hope to see defense again!

“That’s why I got hired,” Santucci said. “Stop people, create takeaways, get the ball back to the offense and don’t let them score touchdowns. That’s not pressure. That’s our job.”
