Yes he did but will he ever have as gifted a quarterback as Sam Howell? A cautionary tale for fans that jump to the conclusion that having skill position stars is the only thing that matters. When we played them, they were ranked, I think, number 10 in the country. It may very well be that the high water mark for Mack's return to Carolina has already been reached.
That is what I used to think but successive 3 win seasons cured me of that arrogance.
I hear the word all the time from my wife about me boring her with minor details from Tech games I have attended or watched but she was an English major.
Dump the water, fill the glass halfway with ice, add 4 ounces of black rum and a twist of lime, then top it off with ginger beer—and you have a tall Dark and Stormy.
Actually, GTpdm, you cannot legally call it a Dark and Stormy unless you use Gosling’s Black Seal Rum,, the name is patented! ( In reality, any dark rum will work )
Don’t forget “the greatest transition in the history of college football” excuse. That one served the HC well for 3 years and still may have some legs!
I don’t want to encourage this type of talk because so many of us are trying to be positive about this season. But you are certainly correct about the last three seasons. The “transition” argument was a convenient way to deflect away from one horrendous loss after another.
Well it sure is for this coach.
Yeah, like turning water into wine, or parting the Red Sea.
Yeah it is interesting. I had not planned on the level of transfers of good talent. So that is going to hurt the W/L, but I am very happy with the coach additions so that will help the W/L. Overall I would drop by 1 win and still think we go to a bowl game. But I am afraid that CGC has already ran out of runway from the recruiting momentum that he was building. This is now a restart sadly. Or a pause under the best case scenario. So sad how dense he is. If he had only recognized this before last season he could have really built something.
I wish I were as optimistic as you, and certainly hope you're right. I would lower my W total from 5 to 3, based mainly on a waning of optimism about the OL.
The biggest challenge facing Tstan and CGC WAS getting cheap ga tech millionaire alums to donate/ buy ticksts at a unc or vt level.
I agree. At this point I think a bowl game - even if there are so many - is not realistic for this team, this year. Even though we have an experienced QB, we have an inexperienced OL, and no (truly) elite RB, as plusses on O. Honestly, I thought the backup QB looked more game ready in the spring game. The No. 1 QB seemed to struggle with quick decisions on where to pass the ball ( and accurately) after the snap- which will be vital in the new uptempo offense. I anticipate a mistake filled- self inflicted wounds- start to the season. I would not be surprised to see 2 QBs being tried early in the season. As always, I am praying to be surprised. But based on years 1 through 3, I am not holding my breath on that.
gibson was basically throwing to WRs covered by nothing but air. to take away anything from that spring game based on the qb position is a bit of a stretch for me. sims definitely needs to cut down on turnovers and can improve greatly but if we start gibson then my optimism of a bowl game will quickly dwindle and i don’t see us winning more than 2 games with him
