Tech in Birmingham Bowl

[apatriot1776]

Frustrating game. Glad we showed fight to the end. Surely luck has gotta come around at some point right?

Game is in fact not over.

But. Is now.

Tech player pushed the Vandy gunner away from the punt returner but it didn’t change his momentum at all. Should have been a foul.

 

[FightWinDrink]

But that's after the light push in the back, so no interference.

We should honestly be impressed that Will Kiker is apparently so unbelievable strong that a slight touch from his hand actually flung a vandy player 10 yards down field full speed into Bailey Stockton

Sounds like a block in the back.

We’ll be real good next year.

Mostly his momentum as he ran, aided by a little push. The push is problematic.

Was at the game. Team looked invested. Coach definitely invested. Refs looked like drug addicts. Tech fans turned out in shotty conditions for their team. Vandy people was bizarre. Hate we lost because we are definitely the better team. Vandy QB will portal and never play at the next level.

In game though, Philo probably thinking king is not getting it done, I could do better, let me takeover.

Sure, but he also knows he’s going to be the starter in the future and wouldn’t want to have a two-series-short-leash at that point.

 

[bobongo]

We’ll be real good next year.

Upward trajectory is intact. I can't wait 'til toe meets leather on 8/30/25.

Maybe the worst call from the game was when they called a Tech DB for a facemask when the Vandy player was holding his facemask. That was egregious too. Even if the DB had grabbed the WR's facemask early in the route it should have been offsetting.

 

[cpf2001]

The punt return gunner got a “little push” and then completely recovered from the contact and re-planted his feet to drive into the kick returner. Blatantly obvious that he controlled his own destiny and went for the tackle.

The PI call amazingly managed to be a million times worse.

dont forget the perfect form tackle the vandy player had while the ball bounced off his foot.

Even e$pn saying the quiet part out loud

Personally I don’t think the matchup was very even but GT plays down to opponents all year. See NCST, UNC, etc. which lets stupid stuff like this cost you.

That translates to the teams were pretty even. We did not blow out a P4 team this year. King being injured was a major factor. Watching today he is no where close to be able to throw as he did last year.

Borderline. He was pushed into the runner, albeit not very hard, but just enough to draw the flag. No push, no flag. No way they're going to call defensive holding after the push.

The Vandy player didn't protest the flag or say, "hey I was pushed". He knew wtf he was doing.

There were audible boos for the majority of the second half. The team knew they were getting screwed and most of the crowd agreed.

Why not? A guy who gets pushed still cannot tackle a guy who hasn’t touched the ball. You can’t do that. Our PR never touched the ball.

Has the post game presser happened yet ?

 

[stinger78]

Two games in a row both decided by 1-2 horrible ref calls
Glad the team didn't quit at the end though

Both SECheat teams. Go figure.
