[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 167545, member: 2451"] First time poster, long time sidewalk fan. Dad went to Tech and I have always been fanatical about the Jackets. Unlike some, last year DID NOT surprise me. We had seniors with a chip on their collective shoulders (think Shaq, Waller, Perkins, Hill, Zenon, etc.) many of whom had career years. It will be difficult to recapture that sort of magic. I am going to reluctantly take a somewhat contrarian view and go with 8-4. Primary reasons being: No go to receiver, really tough schedule, questions on ball security and perimeter blocking, and sadly,. the whole can't take the next step following a great year. Just like 1990 being followed by a good but not great 8-5 year I am (like a lot of long time Tech fans) conditioned to think that we will just not finish the drill. Yes, there are some nice pieces in place. Outstanding option quarterback, very good line, speed on the perimeter. two fine corner backs, tremendous potential on the defensive line and an excellent crop of freshmen. Not to mention, stability in the coaching staff and finally the right guy at defensive coordinator. However, it should be noted that not only are the BIG 4 waiting for us (UGA, Clemson, Miami, and Virginia Tech) but we have a resurgent Duke, always talented (albeit underachieving UNC) and the "Criminoles" with the usual collection of 5 Star felonies in waiting as well as a Notre Dame team with boatloads of talent and experience returning. I am concerned about turning the ball over and injuries. We will see! Let's play ball. [/QUOTE]
