No legit dwag fan cares enough about us right now to troll our board after a loss.So you're not a ugag fan? Hmm... don't know many GT fans that would say this...

The difficulty of Calculus I is blown out of proportion. Calculus I is easy if you know algebra. Calculus II and III is a different story but I doubt most of our athletes take either one of them.

True. But I will say none of us are thinking straight after today. How could we?True, but no legit tech fan crows about the dwags accomplishments either
IMHO it isn't the taking calculus that is the biggest issue but rather the requirement for 4 legit units of math in HS to even be recruited. Very few schools have that requirement and unless a kid has Tech on their radar screen they don't think about it as it is way above anything they need to be NCAA qualified.
Agree... If we are going to get to 6 wins, Tobias needs to be the QB....We are not a good team. Special teams are bad, O is inconsistent, D is the same as last year. Combination of things from athletic and speed of players to coaching. Think CPJ has made some bad in game decisions the past couple of years. Feel TO at QB gives us best option to be 500 or better this year. Otherwise, changes need to be at year end with our football program.
Gee, I wonder why the Georgia Board of Regents would insist on that requirement for Tech when it is packed with UGA graduates who do not have the good sense God gave a sweet potato but by golly they know how to hamstring a rival program? Nah, must be a the workings of a mysterious Providence to extend His mercies upon the long suffering Bulldog faithful.It may surprise you to know that the calculus requirement remains in place because of the Ga BOR, not the Hill, although I am sure there are plenty on the Hill who want to keep it too.
In 30 plus years of teaching in public high school it is my observation that most of the football players found any math that involved more than punching numbers into a calculator to be a challenge best overcome by cheating or getting their girlfriends to do their work for them.The difficulty of Calculus I is blown out of proportion.

yeah but we had a lot of yards though! and excellent TOP too.
I changed from beer to vodka, seemed to help a little
There were problems everywhere again...special teams was pathetic, defense looked awful in the second half, and we again turn the ball over when we are about to lock up the game. Same crap as last year...UT game in particular. Any one thing goes differently and we win the game. Instead everything broke down. It’s almost like the team is in their own heads at this point.
To me, the issue is that The Hill will not battle, lobby, cajole, or show a spotlight on the BOR inflexibility. I don't think they want to, as your post implied as well....It may surprise you to know that the calculus requirement remains in place because of the Ga BOR, not the Hill, although I am sure there are plenty on the Hill who want to keep it too.
its pretty easy to have lots of yards and TOP when the other team gets gifted 14 points on 10 seconds TOP on two kickoffs. Yards don't mean jack squat if they don't end in points.
The whole "the offense did well if you ignore them turning the ball over on drives we needed to score to win" while giving blame to the defense blame for allowing TDs when USF needed to score to win is asinine. The d definitely slipped in the second half but allowing only 1 TD in the first half isn't getting nearly enough credit. They put the O in a position to win. There's room to improve, yes, but saying the O did their job because they had good TOP and yards isn't great. Converting 20% of third downs is entirely unacceptable. TQM was 2/10 on them and that will never win games
And this was an OOC loss. There is much more on the line next week against a team that, I believe, will knock off Penn State tonight.

You are being to level headed for many posting here.I was at the game in Tampa yesterday. I have a few observations to share.
THE GOOD
1. The team did not quit yesterday on the last Drive. It would have been easy to lay down when the game appeared to be out of reach in that scorching heat. But they refused to quit.
2. The offensive line won the battle at the point of attack most of the game. The best evidence of this was when Oliver was at QB and the offense simplified to just block the guy in front of you.
3. The DL played well. They were making some good plays in the middle.
4. GT was able to throw the ball when in the normal rhythm of the offense.
THE BAD
1. We still can't pass block when everyone knows we need to run 2 minute drill.
2. The backside OLB (Stinger?) was out of position most of the day for the QB runs to that side. Did not stay in our lanes.
3. Too many times the defense didn’ adjust to USF overload formations and WRs outnumbered defenders so it was easy pass and catch.
4. The LBs played hard, but they are just not fast enough to keep up with the speed USF had.
5. Need to throw to Camp more.
6. Too much cushion between DBS and WRs at line of scrimmage.
THE UGLY
1. Two consecutive KO returns for touchdowns. It was inexcuseable.
