[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 822214, member: 1640"] I predicted a 7 win season. I know it seems terribly naive now but this was based on several things. The first two years I accepted that CGC was trying to teach the team to have fun, play loose and play with good emotion. I assumed he did not want them overthinking and thus was even willing to squander wins against teams like Citidel and Syracuse to make sure he didn’t over fill their heads with game plans. He was not trying to throw away those games but he was trying to not sacrifice the loose play and staying out of head games. I thought this year we would lose to Miami, Clemson, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Georgia just because of talent disparity. But I thought we would win the rest of our games by playing crisp disciplined football and eliminating costly mistakes. Also everyone seemed to agree that our recruiting and transfer talent was exceptional. I realize we may be walking that back a smidge now. When CGC announced that the transition was over and it was time to “win in 21” I said hallelujah. I believed him. As I said on another post somewhere else, if a team is not used to winning it usually takes 2 or 3 wins in a row to develop that muscle memory for winning. Losing to NIU puts us off schedule for getting that winning pattern established. And coaching in that one particular game was the worst I can remember seeing at Tech in a long time. KSU, unless we lose, will not to tell us much about where the program is headed. Clemson is down this year, as I predicted, so we should not lose by 10 touchdowns. A smart game plan and good execution should normally keep us within 17 points or better. [/QUOTE]
