[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 81440, member: 231"] I have several times been convinced even in the play of the game that Tech was the better team on the field than VT, maybe once with UGA and twice with Miami and we came up on the wrong side of a close game each time. You have to expect to not win every close game even if you seem to be the "better team" since "better" typically means fairly close to even anyway. But it has been too long to have not ended up on the winning side of a close one and when you could see that Tech [I]should be[/I] capable of winning the game. A big head scratcher to me in those close losses is that the demeanor of CPJ, his rhetoric pre/post game and to the media is such that I have not understood the disconnect between his personality and competitiveness and fire and the team's performance on those particular tough loss days. I have frequently been left with the fear that overall the players just didn't have the streak of meannness, the fierceness, drive and intensity to pull off the close tough ones. But that just doesn't seem like CPJ and never has. So we have gotten to see him getting in anyone's face necessary on the sidelines to try and transfer the focus and intensity he has and so far this year something is clicking better with the on field performance of the players. Don't know what the change is but I am enjoying seeing its fruits. One great example of what part of it could be is that fantastic response Smelter gave in his post game interview about "believing in the system" to Randy Waters. Does anyone have a recording of that so I can see his exact response again? [/QUOTE]
