I just have a feeling this is about to be the 10 yr anniversary of 2014. We have a renewed focus coming off the bye and we win out the rest of the season. We have all the pieces , all the intangibles and the right coach to do it.

Why would you say that? We matched up well with them last year and did for the first half in 2022, as well. They look to have regressed on offense without Bowers and McConkey. Their receivers aren't that impressive. And Etienne has underwhelmed so far. They're probably going to be a 3-loss team by the time we play them - they'll be losses to three good teams, but I still think they'll have three.

Not even close to being in that rarefied air. Look at the difference between their defensive linemen and ours. Like night and day. We are a long way from being a top 25 team much less playoff caliber. IIWII

Your original comment certainly read like you think it basically impossible that Tech could win, and this one does too. Of course ugag is significantly more likely to win, but the talent disparity was arguably even greater last season and we played them to a one score game. These are college students, their play from week to week can vary wildly and the talent disparity is not so great that ugag can come out and play their worst game of the season while Tech plays well and they will still walk away with a victory. I'm seeing about a 4% chance against ugag right now, but your comments certainly come across like you think there is a 0.001% chance.

College football is too unpredictable and emotional to say with any accuracy that any P4 or G5 team has no chance, none, zero, against any other P4 team.
I've seen 40-point faves fall. Since Key came on board, three 20-point faves have fallen to Tech. It's happened and will happen again.

Of course upsets happen, did I say they do not happen? I just gave my opinion that the talent level is so one sided in this game that such an upset will probably not happen, although possible. Want to bet, I am all in? lol
End of story.

Did you watch the whole UGA/Alabama game? We do not have the talent to beat either one of those teams in a full game in my opinion. We do not come close to having Alabama's defense which the mutts shredded in the 2nd half even with Etienne having a poor game. And just because they lost to 'Bama and could lose 2 more to Texas and Tennessee does not change that dynamic at all.

I did watch it. I watched Alabama steamroll a team and then go super conservative in the second half until Georgia got back into the game.

We can elevate and play with Georgia. We did it last year and we can do it again. Will we? Don’t know. But that team isn’t anything all that special this year. They’re good, but don’t pretend they’re better than everyone else.

I have no idea which games we will win, but I do know this--we will lose to somebody we all thought we would beat (Duke? UNC? NCSt?) and everybody will act like the season is over and we will beat somebody that nobody gave us a chance to beat (ND? UM? UGag?) and everybody will act like we will never lose again.

Did that with Syracuse. We won't lose an inexplicable game again this season. We'll probably pull 1 or 2 inexplicable wins. I'm seeing a minimum of 5 more wins.
