Yes OldJacket, I think that's it... I start thinking about my Dad, him taking me to Tech games when I was a little boy, my Mom and her on special love of Tech...and now my daughter does the same thing.. Lots of emotional equity tied in with Tech Athletic events... NOTHING, including Thanksgiving Dinner, has that same level of effect on me.GPD I went through a serious illness within the last couple of years and, like others I know, it brought to me a realization about cherishing special times and special moments. My son texted me shortly after the game with his congratulations. Crying? Sure, for an awful lots if reasonsNo shame, just an absolute joy at being here to see what I saw tonight and this season!
Really not so sadly, Criminoles winning the National championship should put us number 2 behind them. Could not happen if they lost to us in the ACCCG.
And on a neutral field with a month for them to prepare!
Roger that ....now age at times shows up and I forget things but do not ,except for a pick remember us making any mistakes all night long.I told Wife we would win after MSU started dropping footballs and looking at each other...great win and the game at South Bend will be a biggie next year.Man did JT save us and probably PJ this year..what a year for a first time starter...........need to keep him under lock and key
Given the low expectations, and perceived lack of depth and talent in certain positions (even by an ever skeptical fan base), this has to rank has the best team since 1990. At the beginning of the year Coach Johnson made a comment that suggested this team might surprise people. At the time, his words which as I recall talked about team unity and how easy it was to coach them were derided as "coach speak". In hindsight, he was prescient and the critics, including me, were the ones that were clueless. This season is a testimony to the leadership of Shaq Mason on the offensive line, the determination of Erin Joe to overcome injuries, and the exceptional abilities of JT, Smelter, Laskey, Days, to move the football no matter what the obstacles. Think about this, how many of these young men fit the "prototype" of what pro scouts are looking for? Very few, maybe Smelter, possibly Shaq. How many of them would start at your typical football factory? A handful from both sides of the ball? Yet, here they are having beaten a former number one team in the nation, the neighborhood bully, two ACC teams loaded with the aforementioned pro talent (Clemson and Miami), a sweep of the much bemoaned "Big Four", and all this has been accomplished with a ahem "high school offense. If this does not make you proud to be a Yellow Jacket then there is no hope.
That was a beautiful moment... textbook job!!
I couldn't have said that better myself. I was lucky to be able to spend 5 years of special memories with my son having season tickets with him (made me so proud to see him be such a huge jacket fan amongst all these nad lickers he grew up with). Thanksgiving doesn't hold a candle to these memories...... glad my wife don't read this board. I am working on making new memories with my 2 daughters now (5 and 8). It's gonna be a tough task but I'm working on it. Every time I hollered last night they would run in here and give high fives then immediately run back to the kitchen with mama to their easy bake oven
Is they think he's good, wait until they discover Smelter. Geez.
I like Palmer a lot. He really knows his stuff and doesn't sound completely ignorant about GT when he speaks of us. He may struggle with pronouncing a name or 2 but he didn't make many errors last night. I was proud of that.
I took that as him being sarcastic towards GT. Like we use that as an excuse why we cant recruit and retain the best players. I didn't Like his tone of voice when saying that.
