Spring Practice

[orange14]

we did kick a FG - to tie! Shawn hit a long pass to the tight end to get us deep in red zone with time running out. We couldn't get it in EZ so we kicked a FG to tie.

Exactly. We passed up the tying FG earlier. It was obvious, at least to me, to tie the game at that point. It was certain we were going to get the ball back as UNC had not done squat on offense all day. Tie it up, then get in position for Sisson to win it. We were close to losing because we passed on the earlier FG.

I was at that Clemson game surrounded by CU fans in the north stands. It was brutal; got to see our heroic goal line defense up close. I've never seen a better defensive stand, nor a defense more tired afterwards. IIRC, they had 1st and 10 on the 15, took 4 downs to make first and goal at the 5, then took four downs and was stopped short.

I was there for that too, but I really don't remember that game. The UNCheat, UVA, VT, and Georgia games all stand out in my memory, but for some reason not that one.

This ought to jog the memory - Kevin Tisdel's long return (Stick around a few plays for TJ Edward's TD)

Beautiful run back. Love seeing a full stadium with tons of gold shakers. And (no surprise here) LOVE the white endzone with the gold GT. I HATE the blue endzone we had last year.

Sooooo any news about spring practice or GT football from the past 25 years?

Most exciting, emotional, hardest-hitting game I've attended in person.

For me that would be the 1962 Tech - Bama ("Remember Darwin Holt") game.

Ok, Yes I remember that! I misunderstood what you said. Yes, we could have tied it up earlier and won with the last FG.

Me too!! One of 3 that jog my memory. Other two were NY Giants in the late 50s when in the Navy(Thanks USO).

SO anyways, how’s spring practice going in 2018??

When Clay fumbled the punt down near our goal, it didn't look good. The end result felt like deja vu to me 39 years later. I was a kid when my dad took me to the 1951 Tech-Duke game, a 14-14 tie that ruined our perfect season.

Good question!

 

[GTJoeBrew]

Is Marvin James related to him? That’s pretty sick if he made that many tackles at the scrimmage. Can’t wait to see him Friday!

Willie Clay did NOT have a good day at Chapel Hill in 1990.

It's a great moment, buuuut … T.J. was down at the one and the refs didn't call it.

As I always say, it's our field and we call 'em our way.

 

[ATL1]

Really hard on the NT.

@takethepoints

His knee might have been down at the one but it looked like the ball crossed the plane first.
