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.

Thanks for list.
I will print out for reference during game and replay.

Imo, them not having an oc on trip, all these injuries, a new qb with new wpr, the new helmet com communication system will be ladom their head coach

So what's the fan split like?? Hoping we brought a good number

I know we sold out our allotment, and the whole stadium is sold out. Hopefully it’s 50-50

I know one thing…these expert FSU sidewalk fans on Twitter are con-fi-dent.

Yeah, I never played or coached, but the idea of "halftime" adjustments rings a sour bell with me. Why wait 'til the half? He who hesitates is lost.

They make in game adjustments, too.

Ga. Tech football ready for 'unbelievable opportunity' in Ireland

In person as well. In Ireland the fsu fans seem super confident and they truly think the espn conspiracy is true. Been a lot of fans around. Great vibe

Awesome!
Just be careful… you’re on the wrong side of the road.

That has been the most nerve wracking part of the trip by far

What’s the ratio? I’m heading over today

There’s a lot of women here. Don’t worry.

 

[Ramble1885]

I just DON’t want us to go down 14-0 in the first quarter like we have done so often in the past

I just care about the final lol, I wouldn't mind a repeat of the bowl game vs UCF.

Lot more FSU fans than Tech fans from what I’ve seen. Fair amount of Tech fans on my flight from Atlanta to Dublin. Not many in Galway though. Hopefully we show up

 

[Gold1]

What’s the ratio? I’m heading over today

60/40 fsu….but we haven’t arrived to Galway or Dublin yet. That is where most of the people are. On a random hike in Westport we came across a group of 10 GT fans. All in white and gold I must say haha

Throwback to a GT Classic piece of media

We have to win one of these neutral site season opener marquee games eventually, right?

 

[YoungSting]

Well it turns out I chose the right hotel to be surrounded by tech people. The players definitely don’t look tired from the flight

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!

Colorado beat #17 TCU in Fort Worth in their first game last year…

TCU was a 5-7 team last year, so that #17 ranking didn’t mean a whole lot.

I think they are also easier to spot.
