Tech v duh U postgame!

[bobongo]

I'm not great at guessing I would say about 51,ooo maybe a little more , traffic was bad so some came late.

Great crowd, considering the very poor turnout for the Duke homecoming game three weeks ago. The two wins in the interim made a big difference. Playing at night helps, too.

What was going on with the UM players just before the start of the game when most of their team rushed to the NE end zone corner and blocked the last few GT players coming on the field. Many kneeled and seem to be baiting the GT fans? What was that all about? For a moment it looked like the start of a full scale riot but the refs got the UM players back in place quickly without further issues.

Crowd looked good on the broadcast. The club room guys and gals had a rough time leaving the wine and champagne in the heat to get back out in the cold. All those seats were empty at the start of the 2nd half (but eventually started filling back up). Please Todd, get rid of that section! Or, at least, relocate it.

In yet another post revealing a bit about my age, I really, really dislike public displays of gloating and poor sportsmanship such as this and the one by JJ above. Trash talking on the field, in the heat of battle is OK and to be expected (and enjoyed). But after the fact, not so much. If you will excuse me, I have to take my pills and yell at the kids on my lawn.

If Taquon was judged to be the starter by CPJ, then he handled the QB the way it needed to be handled last night. What else would CPJ do, rotate QBs on a night where temperatures were in the thirties? Call it selective icing of our own QBs. Whoever, was in the game and getting into a lather needed to stay in the game unless injured. Standing on the sideline for 45 minutes watching your sub play two series after getting hot yourself makes no sense. If temps were in the 60s it would be a different story.

I know Juanyeh Thomas is trying to learn the defense and Rivera already knows it, but man, it is hard to keep him off the field. When he returns kicks, it is very evident how physical he really is. Even if he doesn't consistently make the right choices, he pulls through attempts to tackle him like a teenager does in the back yard when his little brother's friends are hanging all over him. I'm not so sure he shouldn't be an offensive player at some point. I'm thinking AB. Can you imagine the pop he would provide at that position, especially considering the new blocking rules?

Did anybody notice Jordan Mason's lead block on TM's TD run on the QB reverse sweep? He took a would be tackler and drove him 5 yards deep in the EZ. It looked like a scene from "Blind Side". I Thought he was going to push him into the oncoming traffic on North Avenue.

I really liked seeing more physicality from our athletes against a highly rated UM group. when JT28 pushed the UM player down like a 7 year old kid - that made me smile.

Yes that was a great block and this whole post was terrific!

They did it twice in a row...it was on purpose. I’ve been wondering for years why no one tries this. Just punt it into the crowd and hope it hits the defense.

This was probably Richt's thought process with that squib kick in the 2014 UGA game.

One of the very best Tech traditions!

I love Juanyeh, too, but Malik is balling out. He leads this team in tackles. And avoiding mental mistakes is critical. Whenever I watch the “coaches film room” coverage they sometimes do on ESPN it’s evident that the majority of big plays on offense are due mental errors by the defense.

In normal circumstances I agree but after the pregame BS, gloating is acceptable.

Think these goats were well deserved after that thug u display before the game.

I was having Woody Dantzler flashbacks.

I was at the Dantzler game. Thanks for ruining my day. [emoji3]

I would forgive them. It is the U after all, the essence of trash talking. Besides what our youngsters did was nothing compared to the infamous Duke video of this past week concerning their win over Miami.

Again, I realize that I am ithe minority nowadays, but I am of the opinion that poor behavior on the part of others doesn't justify poor behavior on my own part. I accept that this point of view is archaic and amusing to most nowadays. I think that this is sad. and disturbing. Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

 

[684Bee]

Do you guy realize Miami has the #15 best 5 yr recruiting average in the nation? GT’s rank wasn’t even listed in Rivals top 50!!! Oh, but every ACC opponent on our schedule is!

It’s pretty impressive what we do with lesser talent.

... or just let those folks bring their drinks back to their seats. What a ridiculous setup. "You can be in here with your drinks. Or you can be in your seats without." My toddler could tell you the outcome of that policy.

Also, we should sell beer throughout the stadium.
