GSU game thread

[Ramble1885]

Time for the trappiest trap game to ever trap game.

The team CANNOT sleepwalk into this one...

I will be shocked if CBK doesn’t have Tech loaded up for a statement win. The only fly in the ointment is jet lag. It is hard to catch up on mental and physical sharpness when you have to go right back to work with essentially no rest or easy days.

Normally I would say this has all the makings of a trap game, but I think CBK is of a different flavor and will have us ready. Particularly what he said when the reporter asked him on Saturday if he would have a celebration drink. He esentially said no, we have a game next Saturday. CBK is on about his business.

I don't expect a blowout, just a convincing win. Thiugh a blowout would be nice.

If this was a noon game I’d say so but this will be under the lights at BD baby. Students will show out too. We should put 50 on them

This game scares the H*** out of me. A win for GSU would make their program. Many of their better players are auditioning for transfer portal NIL. Need to take control early Remember BG!

Night game, whiteout game, coming off a historic win, the crowd will show up and be loud!

Jet lag will not be an issue. They were not in Ireland long enough to reset their body clocks and the trip back was with the sun. The main issues will be to recover mentally and physically after a grueling 5 day schedule including 15 hours of flight time interfering with their sleep schedule, catching up on school work, and still prepare for the game effectively. It is a challenge for sure.

I spent 10 days in England and Scotland in early June, and was over the time change in a day. I'm nowhere near 20 years old any more, either.

Brent Key has been great against ACC ranked teams. Time to bring that same energy to the rest of the schedule.

 

[g0lftime]

Much easier flying west and getting the extra 5 hour time change. Going east is much tougher.

 

[Billygoat91]

I am terrified of Saturday. My GT fan PTSD is really messing with my head. This just feels like a game where we don't show up.

That said, Key has been changing the culture in a positive way. If we go out and dominate, we can all feel comfortable that culture change is really starting to get ingrained into our program.

Is Dead Energy Terry gone or is this the end of the "First and tennnnnnnn, Jor-Juh-Tek!" guy? I swear I heard him on the TV in Dublin Saturday. I did see Ms. Basketball commented on a GTWBB post recently - hoping GTAA got the memo and gave her fulltime duties for hoops. Duke game last year w/ her as emcee was the most engaged GTBB crowd I've seen in years.

I already feel better about Saturday since everyone seems to be an admiral ackbar follower this week.

 

[AugustaSwarm]

Some Ga State fans seem to think they've figured GT out from 1 game of film...

It does effect different people in differently ways.

I will be pleasantly surprised if that happens. Coming off a big win like that, the team can't help but be a little less sharp mentally than it was in Dublin. But I must say, Tech looked like a team without any glaring weaknesses. Solid all around. First time I've been able to say that since, er, 1990. One thing on Tech's side is that it will be our second game and GSU's first. I would guess the jackets win by 10-17 points. Remember that even in our national championship year the Jackets came off a win in Charlottesville to scrape by VPI the next week by a field goal. It's just the nature of college football.

For those who don’t know- This was the Hawks Announcer for years.
Honestly not sure how I feel.
He’s a younger energetic voice, but lacking that more powerful/moving sound that most football PA guys have.

Is he the longtime V103 DJ?

As long as he does not utter- "iiiiittttt's money dowwwwnnn", he'll get a pass on his first game if he muffs something else up.
