GT vs Pitt Postgame

[awbuzz]

It’s a game, yes. But it’s a helluva lot more fun to win. We should be 3-0. And everyone but CPJ knows it.

CPJ knows it and agrees!

I'm not a GT alum but I have talked to a few. And they definitely don't want to lower academic standards so we can be good at football.

No joke just reading that to myself pisses me off. Sometimes i wonder how i got stuck with GT.

That was an honest postgame. He owned the fake punt, as he should.

News to me is that Camp ran the right route(8 yrd curl) on the INT but TM just threw a bomb? Did I get that right?

He did. Still a subtle jab on 250+ backs vision.

To be clear - I am part of this camp. We are not the minor leagues for the NFL. We are an Institute of higher learning.

We are one of the best schools in the world. For us to rise to the challenge and have a highest echelon team is to Tech's glory, and an achievement rarely accomplished. When was the last time Harvard or MIT won the national championship or went to the Orange Bowl.

The glory lies not in dumbing down but rising to the challenge.

Exactly. And we can do that by recruiting nationally to find athletically talented kids who are gifted academically and want a top notch degree. To do that, we have to dramatically increase our recruiting budget and get to work. It is the only answer.

The only thing worse than being a GT fan right now is being an FSU fan.

Awesome, guy. I feel alot better.

No I mean let’s look at the past 3-5 years. Let’s look as current success. Let’s look at facts.

Let's do and include the "student" side of the equation and the minimum requirements, degree options, yada, yada, yada

It's not really a jab on his vision, it's a jab at his lack of taking coaching. Right wrong or otherwise he was saying that he was coached to go outside and the play was designed to go outside and he chose to go in.

8 kids from Pensacola area. Glad gt is recruiting here now.

Marcus Marshall would have ate the tired front 8 up after Mills body blowed them, too.

I’ve got two good buddies who are FSU grads so I do feel better.

Haha I do too. Im Still pretty frustrated, though.

At least FSU fans know for a fact they will be back. For "us" we really don't know. As we've talked about it's all about the BOR

The worst feeling I had today was watching us lose, somewhat expecting it, and not getting all that upset about it. Apathy has set in for me. Im not going to quit watching or supporting the team, but until there is a change, im not going to be as emotionally invested anymore. It feels a lot like the last couple of Brian Gregory years. No momentum in the program at all, and we all knew what was inevitably going to happen.

Just get ready for the thread im going to start tommorow. Time for us to demand change from the elitists

We have been down this road before. I truly am asking this as a person who just doesn’t understand. Why, after you understand the priorities of our program, do you continue to be upset and shocked by this situation?

As an aside, I am a life long Cubs fan, as in since 1985 I have pulled for the Cubs. We finally won one. It felt great because we all, as fans, knew how hard it was to do what the team did. It isn’t the same but feels similar to me with GT. We aren’t world beaters, by definition of the roster.

If you have no attachment to the larger purpose of the Institute and just want wins, irrespective of the effect on the school, why don’t you just move along?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still going to sport my GT gear around my neighborhood and town with pride as I know it stands for a whole lot more than just football. Also, I won’t be floored if we hang with Clemson.

The calculus thing and just in general the education thing. We've got to stop that elitist education thing to actually be a great program. My hope is Tstan can convince some administrators to relax some and let us build a legitimate PROGRAM.

No. Not willing to devalue my diploma for athletics.

I remember in 2014 almost every negative thing I’ve read today was said after we lost back to back games. I am not saying this is 2014 but the year is not over. We just need to get up now.

Maybe I’ve wiped the bad stuff in 2014 from memory but I don’t remember seeing a problem with player fundamentals and coaching decisions like I’m seeing now.

"The elitists". Again who are you referring to? Folks that don't agree with you about doing away with degree requirements? You throw a phrase out there, define it please.

Right? Part of the question here is, what is success?

Graduation rates?
Placement in NFL?
Lifetime earning potential?
Student Athletes leaving with a job?
