[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 190379, member: 2175"] You know, we can't go through life meeting this way. I never wrote that you wrote GT was "a good team," but that you felt it is "better than its record and is not a bad" team while being competitive. While my reluctant conclusion -- and it is reluctant for a lot of reasons -- is that it is what its record says it is, all assumptions to the contrary, particularly since all those assumptions tilt in Tech's favor. I agree we have been competitive in four of the losses, though I disagree one of those games was against ND. There was a time when that would be written off as "scoring two TDs late to make it interesting." Not competitive, interesting. I think Clemson and ND waxed us. I appreciate being "competitive". I really do, having once lost a HS game so massively the other guys were down to 3rd and 4th team late in the second quarter -- try that for being embarrassing. I just get no satisfaction from it because at the end of the game the only score that counts is the last one on the scoreboard. I do not suggest you, or any other board member, does. Merely that to talk about being competitive with a six-loss team is excessively optimistic. There is a difference in "competing" -- and except for Clemson, I think we have competed to the end -- and in "being competitive." Seems to me that is perilously close to the dreaded "moral victory."
