Best thing I have read in a while ! Thanks for posting. I think I can safely say that most of us posters feel the same way. I HATE when Tech loses at anything ! But I love our SAs. As a former student/grad I, as do many of the posters , know how tough it is to balance all the work required to go to Tech. I have NEVER, and will NEVER call out a player by name. These are KIDS , football is a GAME, ENTERTAINMENT ! I have seen behavior at games with even young children , where the " fans " go berserk and yell terrible things at the players. To me, that's where all this behavior starts. And the " anonymity " the blogs affords , make us think we can take cheap shots without exposing ourselves. Suggestion : use the tools on this blog to call out offensive remarks to our SAs ( pretend you were a parent/guardian of one ) and each other , and let's restrain ourselves to keep all this in perspective ,as noted above.
How do you know they are not already doing that ? Sometimes the other team is just better. If they are not prepared to play , then much of the blame falls on HC and coaches , IMO. TWO KR for TDs with virtually the same mistake on coverage ? Either the players are not listening , or the coaches cannot teach ! Either way , it falls on the HC. We hear the same mistakes every game/year : poor execution , missed assignments , blah , blah , blah. Ultimately , after all these years , the HC needs to take a hard look at ALL his assistants and his teaching methods.
There is a space between posting blind approval of coaching or players being out of position and snarky comments about players effort or talents. A good place to start would be getting involved w gtaa football where ever u are.
No it’s not. I’m not going to sit here and call out our players/coaches and say they suck and their effort isn’t there because I don’t believe that but we are a bad to below average football team right now based off of everything we’ve seen from the beginning of last season to now. That Kevin guy is a complete **** but we, as a team, need to get a hell of a lot better. Maybe we all take things differently but IMO, saying we are a bad football team is a hell of a lot better than saying we have no talent.
Bad football teams don’t put out 600 yards of offense. We have some weak areas for sure, but the whole team isn’t bad.
Below average football teams don't make bowl games and blow 4th quarter leads. Why are we sugarcoating this? We aren't good and we need to improve. It's not damn rocket science. Start getting the W's and we won't have to come up with excuses of why we are not bad.
We are a mixed bag of bad and good, that is plain to see from someone who doesn’t even know football. Yet some on here who talk football all the time can’t see it at all.
Every team has strengths and weaknesses. That is why this is a team sport. As a team, we are not very good.
And that is your opinion and I guess you’re entitled to it. But Just because we are not very good is not the same thing as being bad. “Very good” and “bad” are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In my opinion, we are an average team right now with the potential to be much better if we clean a few things up.
Well if bad is that far down the spectrum for you, then I will just rephrase to "below average". We can have differing opinions on below average vs average.
