I think the ones that were late scratches were form contact tracing and had to be scratched right before the game.
Thursday night 7PM, December 10th.
I agree with that line of thinking, but I haven’t heard of anyone testing positive within the team or staff. was there word of someone testing positive?
Well, they can start by not making the same mistakes that they have been all year with penalties. No, I do not live in a "dwag" family. My father, God rest his soul, graduated from Tech in 1950 as did my brother in law. Tech born and bred. I do not care to read your silly insults and innuendo.
Glad to hear it. Makes less sense why you're advocating for us to just lay down and end the season then.
My favorite year was 1974. I came in as a freshman, Pepper Rogers came in as new young coach and brought in the wishbone offense. Had great time going to the games as a rat. Went to UGA game and beat their *** in a cold rain. It was wonderful. Went 6-5 for the year but I enjoyed every game. Never worried about SOS, rankings, bowls, would we make the playoff committee rankings, etc.
The year we beat Alabama and lost ten in a row...I was there. The year we lost to Furman...I was there. The year an offensive lineman was being interviewed by Al Ciraldo and was asked why he came to Tech and he looked up at the water dripping from the stands above his head and facetiously said "Al, it was the great facilities here" I was listening and nearly ran off the road laughing. I don't think Al got the sarcasm. Now? We are in better shape in every conceivable way from those days... facilities check, talent double check, coaching check, fans like me bitching double check.

1975 was the end of the honeymoon for Pepper also. That loss to Auburn, a very poor Auburn team in Shug Jordan's last year too. Tony Head broke his leg going in for a TD. We were up big and in the second half turned the ball over three times in a row on fumbles and the Tigers came back and beat us. It just crushed that team which was leading the nation in rushing with David Sims, Tony Head, ELI, Adrian Rucker and Danny Myers. Then, as now, quality depth was nonexistent, and turnovers killed us. Funny, how the more things change, the more they stay the same.
On the way to that 1st half lead, we lost ELI, Head and Sims. The only starter in the backfield for the 2nd half was Danny Meyers.
If we didn’t have any excuses like a short roster or finals, we’d have more pressure. Let ‘er rip. I still think we were stupid to schedule this, but that part is done. Go bust some ***!
