I think they are also easier to spot.

Fair, I’ve seen some people say go jackets but they’re not wearing a massive FEAR THE SPEAR GO NOLES type outfit.

Glad to hear this. It was actually a worry of mine - how many of these players have dealt with this sort of jet lag before? Especially going straight from the airport to practice.

Hopefully they all followed the coaches’ & trainers’ advice on how to best prepare for and deal with it, so they can get in some quality reps before the game Saturday.

Let’s go Jackets!

The jet-lag worry for me is the GSU game, glad its an 8 PM kick-off ...

Some don’t have the obnoxious shirts on. Need to add the mouth breathers to the FSU total.

We need some DJ U INTs on Saturday so we can get the first glimpse of this year’s shark crew celebrations. I remember GT fans getting really into that mid-2010s (2014?) secondary’s No Fly Zone celebration. Hope the fans are ready to throw up some dorsal fins.

That flight is with the sun, a piece of cake for our kids after only a few days gone.

Saw a few additional f$u fans than tech fans in Galway last weekend, but Killarney/Ring of Kerry was just crawling in f$u fans the last 2 days... probably saw 50 f$u to 2 GT fans. Hoping it was bad timing and I just barely missed the tour busses of Tech fans

Hate losing Seither - he was a decent blocker and a touchdown machine with the ball. I was about to say at least we have more TE depth this year until I read this report.
Don't know FSU's players that well but it appears they are going to be without some depth at OL.

All of those O linemen are listed as starters. Same with the d lineman. Maybe this is why the spread keeps going down..

I just saw FSU -10.5. Something is driving money toward GT.

Sylvain Yondjouen’s trip to Ireland a full-circle moment for Belgium-born lineman

DUBLIN — It’s still a bit hard to believe for Sylvain Yondjouen that he’s in the position he is in as a 26-year-old. Not as unbelievable as when he was doing it five years ago, but still rather remarkable given the path that led to its development.

Yondjouen is up there for most important players who will determine how this year goes. There's a lot of guys I have confidence will make an impact on the front seven - Efford, Height, Biggers... but if Yondjouen can put it together and reach his potential the ceiling for this defense goes way up. Hopefully with 12 months to recover he is ready to go full throttle.

FSU is lucky their cornerbacks are VERY good. They’re going to need everything and more to slow our parade of Blackburn, Janneh, Singleton, Lane, Rutherford and Leary.

In the last 6 years, I think McCollum has been the only wide receiver that would start over ANY of the guys that I just listed.

I mean the WR room is absolutely stacked with different kinds of talent.

We’re gonna spread them out with the pass and then King and Jamal are gonna dice these fools until the cows come home. I genuinely think we’re gonna beat them by 3 touchdowns. I don’t think you can plug and play an entire transfer team and expect results the way they’re trying to… especially not for the first game. See Colorado (and that’s with their supposed to be superstar QB).

If we stop their run, it’s over in the 1st half.

Comparing Colorado and FSU is comical. FSU has a pretty stacked team top to bottom. Not just 2 guys carrying the team.

Supposedly FSU has the best starting defensive line in college ball.

Regardless, it is a team with lots of talent. The weakest link on the team may be their QB but with our luck he will play the game of his career.

It may not even be a luck thing - their OL is so talented that he might get to sit in the pocket for 10 seconds every play while someone gets open. He will have a big day if our front 7 isn't breathing down his neck. So many question marks from that crew with all the turnover this offseason.

Man.....we have a bunch of negative Nellies in this thread. Come on men! Have faith; be positive; don't buy the media narrative; hope abounds....we are gonna win this game!
