Ok lets see who is honest.

[AlabamaBuzz]

I thought about turning it off, & honestly I had tuned out & was perusing Twitter at the time of the fumble. When I saw 26 seconds & 76 yards, I tuned out again, but I did refocus when we made the first completion. A few seconds later, all I could think was “only Georgia Tech does stuff like this.” And, I yelled at the wife who had left the room, “you gotta see this; we won!”

Stayed till the end cause I cut the Louisville game off early

 

[yellajacket20]

I had it on my phone as I was in the kids' room trying to get the to sleep. I thought we would have a shot, but we were giving up 5-6 yards per rush.

I watched the fumble and figured it would get overturned. I didn't have any faith that we would move the ball with such little time. But after the completion to Rutherford, I had a little hope that we could get into FG range. Didn't need it!!

 

[MidtownJacket]

Nothing is promised so I never turn off or leave games early. If the team is still on the field of play, I know where I want to be.

Speaking a win like last night is the reward for staying loyal and present through the ups and downs.

So sweet to get that win!

Who here turned the game off before the end of the game?

I have to say I turned off the TV right before the play Miami fumble. next thing I know I'm getting a load of texts. not sure at my age I would have lived to watch it. Could not get to sleep till 3:30. So happy for the players and coaches.

I was tuned in. Screamed "HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" - stayed online reading Swarm and 'cane's sight for several hours

 

[Southern psu fan]

We only get 12 games a year so I watched ever second that I can. We had some family fun yesterday so I was only able to watch the second half but I watched every minute and was able to see the win live. It was awesome How sweet it is baby

I did not turn it off and am in trouble today for waking everyone in my household up by yelling ‘party like it’s 2005’. I learned my lesson in 2014 after leaving the room to sulk after the dwags scored what looked like the game winning TD late 4th quarter. I re-emerged to see Butker’s kick to send it to OT.

After that day I vowed to not do that again. I have only broken that rule during some of the clown games when we were getting blown away.

Yeah, me too.

I watched the whole thing and after our drive to answer da U's TD in the second half I thought we had a good chance to win. The players gave a great effort, especially on D. Then the colossal, incomprehensible, remarkably dumb errors by Christobal gave us the ball again and two plays later, we score and win the game! That game showed real guts by Tech and should form the rest of our season. On to more victories!

 

[ibeattetris]

I watched the whole thing. I don’t really turn off games unless I have prior engagements at which point I just listen on radio.

We only get 12-13 games a season, and even if the final minutes hurt, I know that there is only a limited number of them available.

 

[Randy Carson]

Went to bed at halftime feeling good about the improved defense and the 3-0 score.

Woke up later and checked my phone at 14-10. Went back to sleep with a moral victory assured regardless of final outcome.

Woke up even later and saw the final. Watched the touchdown highlight, read the game summary and went back to sleep.

(I don't own a television, so it's YouTube on my iPhone for me.)

 

[Oakland]

I was there and was starting to leave. We just started making are way to the stairs when they fumbled. What a game!

Question, were there many Tech fans at the game. When we scored the last TD, it sounded like there was some cheering for Tech.

 

[ibeattetris]

Came back to chat and then couldn't sleep that well.

I slept like a baby.

 

[Techster]

I was hosting some friends for the Braves/GT/College FB games. TBH, the only reason the TVs were still on was because I was putting food away and cleaning up a little. Someone yelled "Fumble!" and I was like "What?!!". My next thought was, "Please give King some time, and use some rollouts so he at least has a chance to extend the play." I don't think the TD pass was a designed rollout, but he did roll out to the field side and tossed a great pass to Leary over the defenders and in stride.

When the refs said the were reviewing the TD, I yelled at the TV. "LEARY!!! Why the EFF are you even attempting that slide when there was no one within 5-10 yards of you?!! Get over that line and do what you want afterwards..." It would have been the most GT thing to have the game winning TD called back because the "runner gave himself up" at the spot and the TD was called back.

Luckily, TD stood and GT is win closer to bowling.

 

[Techwood Relict]

I watched it all with my two younger boys after the ladies of the house went to bed. Lots of $#@@&, I can't believe we just won that game. Great to be a Jackets fan! I would like to salt the next one away with more time on the clock if we could....

 

[TromboneJacket]

Two weekends in a row I’ve missed the game because of packing and moving. Last week, I said, “Well as tiring as this is, at least I didn’t have to watch the Jackets get blown out by Bowling Green.” Yesterday, I was checking on ESPN gamecast between moving boxes. I’m just glad we won. I had said while the game was going that I already had too much stress in my life to let football be a priority. Now I’m really happy that I get to go on vacation and catch the next game at Bobby Dodd!

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I did not turn it off. Watched it all. My reasoning was that I expected Tech to lose from the beginning and I wanted to just see how hard Tech played and how they carried themselves. Was prepared to have Miami take a knee and then watch our players hold their heads high at the end of the game. When Miami ran the ball my first reaction was anger at their arrogance. When I saw our players swarming the runner I thought “good for them for still fighting.” When the ball came out I said “holy $h!t!” My wife was downstairs asleep (our TV room is upstairs) and I was trying to yell without making any sound

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

I stayed until the Horse was played at the end of the BG game. Never left a game early and I don't turn them off even when we've gotten embarrassed or humiliated. Seen multiple miraculous comeback wins- this game, Miracle at Techwood, Jaspar Thanks, Kick and Pick, Calvin at Clemson, etc.

It's easy to watch Bama or teams like that who win almost every week. GT football is a thrilling, maddening, infuriating, exhilarating, mind numbing, frustrating, humbling, stunning, confusing, helluva team to be a fan of.

You are saying in so many words that Tech football induces more cardiac arrests than cigarettes and drinking combined?

 

[southernhive]

I thought the ref's would reverse the fumble ending the game, but I continued to watch until the glorious ending. Go Jackets!

Also heard some Tech cheering on the blitz and QB sack that forced Miami to kick a field goal.
