GT 2014 schedule

[RamblinCharger]

The times will be fine if we win, that's always going to be the case. If we get to 4-0 and start rolling, we won't have a game before 3:30, but if we lose to the usual suspects we'll have a lot of noon ESPN 37 games

Would love to see the Clemp game a night one.

It is much better than we have had in years. Can't open the composite, but I am assuming that no one playes Southern or Navy the week before they get us. Can't complain, but October is a potential blood bath.

Miami's the only one that worries me in October, and we get the bye before them.

I like the way the first 3 set up. 3 very winnable games to hopefully get JT in a comfort zone and get some confidence going.

We've gotta get a win against Miami, VT or both next year. It will also be interesting to see how Duke and UNC look.

 

[poodleface]

VT will be battle tested by Ohio State before we get them, but I like our chances with VT breaking in a new QB.

1) It is probably the best schedule that we've had in years and years.
2) Getting this schedule this year will probably mean getting VPI at Tech on a Thursday next year. Since CPJ has been our coach, we are undefeated against VPI on a Saturday at BDSHGF.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

We need to blow out our first 3 opponents to build confidence!

 

[swampsting]

Love the schedule. One of the best, if not the best, in the CPJ era.

It will definitely help in the long run getting the new starters some live reps before jumping into conference games.

 

[UgaBlows]

Man VPI is the key, get past them and we are going to Roll thru this schedule

 

[AE 87]

The Georgia Southern game is a lot less appealing now that Monken is gone.

 

[takethepoints]

Like I say (I do, you know) it's the scheduling as much as the talent or the coaching. For once we have a schedule that we can contend with and most of the teams we play in the middle of it are in the same boat we are: breaking in new QBs and replacing key players.

The games that worry me most are VT (of course) and Duke. Most here seem to be discounting Duke because (I guess) their schedule last year was so weak. OK, it sure was. But they got a lot of self confidence out of going 10-3 and almost beating TA&M. Confidence goes a long way in football and we'll be coming off Miami, sure to be a tough game.

Still, the chances for Tech to do well next year just got a whole lot better, imho.

 

[GTJoeBrew]

The first three games are going to be huge to getting JT plenty of playing time before the real test. This is the best schedule that I remember having in a long time. Only Duke(week), Clemson(2 days), and Pitt(2 days) having extra time to prepare. Seems like a new group put the schedules together. I really liked the Thursday night games when I was a student, especially the white out one. Sooo much fun! I can see the coaches reasoning for not liking them though. Without the depth of a factory school, playing on a Saturday then Thursday causes major issues.

 

[gtdrew]

The Tulane game will be a fun road trip, too...

Found this on the ACC site. Looks pretty fair.

Never was so drunk in one weekend as the road trip to Tulane when I was at Tech.......night game in the superdome left the entire day for partying in the French Quarter......and even after the loss we didn't leave Pat' OBrien's until almost 4 in the morning. Barely made it back for my 9 am class on Monday
