My only comment - fire the Git-Back coach!

Well, we may need more DL beef but we are losing at least 5 guys there and getting replacements is HARD.This will be a concern next yr for sure.

We've got a couple coming in from the portal. Apparently, Brayden Manley from Mercer was sought after by other schools.

I know --that's 2 and we have 5 leaving.

Gt91, I don't follow recruiting or transfers closely enough to know if we already have some good speed and size receivers coming in. I fact, I'd love it if we did. I'm just saying someone needs to emerge based on the comments about Rutherford being easier to cover without the deep threat of Singleton.

I am really proud of the team, the way they kept fighting in the 4th qtr. Without the 2 turnovers and a couple of terrible penalties, we might have won. Good effort

So proud to see the young guys making plays.
52 , 13, 27, 15 going to be salty.

In my defense ....

We have 3 WR coming in the portal (2 FIU, 1 SC) and 4 from HS.

I believe he was talking about DL's, not WR's.

yep my mistake, thought we were talking about replacing singleton.

Evaluations are still going on.

NES, I have read up on string theory in the past and the concepts elude me tbh. WTBS, I noticed that Vandy had 0 TO's last night. Using string theory, can we use this to mathematically conclude (95% CI specified here) that they had no bad callls go against them??

The bad calls against Vandy (some call them makeup calls) happened after the path to the alternative universe was already chosen. In a different universe the refs got the early calls correct and Tech won 31-17.

Yes, refs are human. Yes, refs make mistakes. Yes, we should keep our complaints on the field. BUT, don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining. And don’t expect me to just sit there. The refs deserved every last “o” of every boo they got.

i won’t say we got cheated out of a win, but I will go down saying we got cheated.

Have not read everything, just got home...

Replays at the stadium were weak sauce. Thankfully I had some folks text me. The refs did make some legit calls like on holding and on the face mask but we never saw them in the stadium.

Being there in person I felt the same way. Just felt like a bunch of bad calls one after the other.

I will say this - it got our fans riled up. We even booed Santa, which might have been one of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile. Things seemed so absurd at the time, and the stadium announcers would come on with their hype stories and sausage commercials, and we just got sick of hearing ‘em. I yelled, “That’s not the real Santa!!” which got a few laughs.

The refs were horrible. To the point that my 88 year old mom watched the game and complained about some of the bad calls and Vandy’s extra curricular activities against our players after the whistle. This crew should be allowed to officiate a game next year.
