GT Miami Post Game

[LT 1967]

I am just happy to see Georgia Tech Alums and Fans in an excited and positive mood concerning our football program. It has taken a while getting there, but hopeful the old dark days are behind us and GT people can look forward to an even better future!

Should we troll Miami and go with “tropical depression” or take the high road and go with “stinger?”

“…third and 6 and the Yellow Jackets are showing the stinger…”.

Yeah, let's take ownership of it and call it the 'stinger package'..

All in favor, say "I" .. as in the Institute.

I heard something at church this morning I’ve not heard in a long time. Georgia fans saying they’re worried about the Tech game.

A couple of interesting facts from the AJC article by Chad Bishop.

• ACC commissioner Jim Phillips attended Saturday’s game.
• Attendance was announced as 47,358 — giving Tech an average of 39,121 after four home games this season. Saturday’s attendance was the largest for an ACC game at Bobby Dodd Stadium since 48,217 attended a 27-21 win over Miami on Nov. 10, 2018.

Tennessee may beat us to it

Won't cry if they do and we just put a nail in to remove any question about it.

So, somebody explain something to me. On the play where Liami was finally and mercifully called for targeting.

The initial foul was not a face mask but 'illegal hands to the face' - a 5yd penalty.

Did I hear that wrong? Seemed a clear and obvious face mask - 15yd penalty. At worst, it was 'hands to the face' and a face mask.

What gives? Or did I hear it wrong?

We had some classless losers sitting behind us in row 2, section 215. Thanks to the season ticket holders who sold their tickets to them.

Lots of season ticket holders sold their seats...

For those that don’t have the ability to see everything he said:

Thinking back to the job that @GeorgiaTechFB Offensive Coordinator Buster Faulkner did yesterday in constructing one of the best 2-QB game plans that I have ever seen. AND…he did it with the QB that would be LIMITED as a thrower being the starter (Haynes King), and the QB that would be asked to throw it in obvious passing situations as the “#2” guy ( FRESHMAN Aaron Philo). It was executed to absolute perfection. Masterclass. Just glad I was there to witness it and call it live

“Glad I was there to witness it and call it live and talk about Miami the whole time instead of it”

Exactly. Dude said nothing like this during the broadcast. It was all Cam all the time.

From the TV feed, after the the Miami player was ejected for targeting on Cooley, there was a lot of celebrating, laughing and congratulations for the ejected player on the Miami sidelines. A real bad look.

Funny, I was in that section and it wasn't just row 2. My Miami fan brother in law was there and he was embarrassed by those classless fans.

And I'm pretty sure the player never even left the bench area. Aren't you supposed to go to the lockerroom when ejected?

The rule has changed since it was first implemented. The targeting ejected players can stay on the sidelines now.

Thanks. That's dumb and a bad look, jmho.

I heard that too and the best explanation I have is that the official announced it wrong. Probably didn’t pay much attention since it was going to be declined to take the targeting.

Would have been interesting if they determined no target… would they have corrected the call? Glad we didn’t need to go there.

You heard it correctly. It was a clear and obvious personal foul facemask but was announced as "hands to the face". Since it was declined in favor of the targeting, it doesn't matter. Maybe the ref misspoke.

Exactly. Dude said nothing like this during the broadcast. It was all Cam all the time.

Hey, he did say "thinking back...". I'd rather that Riddick give us that kind of insight during the game, but they didn't have pre-built graphics for that narrative. They did for miracle Miami comebacks.

I'm just glad our team is interesting enough for the color commentator to look back at the game and be impressed, and say it publicly and broadly.

They made the wrong call. They also called it on the wrong player. Just a mistake. It had no impact as they could only enforce one of the two penalties.

See, that's the problem. Had they called no targeting, we're stuck with that terrible call. Get it right, even if it ends up not mattering.

As you all know, I'm a stickler for following the rules to the letter.

Someone needs to instruct Singleton to just take the touchback on kickoffs, but otherwise, just an awesome team win.
Offense and Defense were not at full strength but they left it all on the field. Outcoached Miami on both sides of the ball. And the capper was formerly #2 uga getting throttled in Oxford. Helluva day!

Exactly. Every time he brings it out of the EZ, it scares hell out of me. High risk, little chance of high reward. He is such a big part of our offense, especially in the condition it is now, if he gets injured, we are screwed.

Unfortunately I couldn't be at the game yesterday, on TV though it sounded loud at bobby Dodd!! Been a while since Ive heard the stadium rocking that loud
