Schedule Issues - Don't buy your Tix to Tampa, yet

There are a few issues we should look at before buying our tickets to Tampa. Most of these issues revolve around schedule difficulty. We've got two scrappy Carolinian teams ahead of us that will not go quietly in the night. VT and GT've got the following schedule ahead of them:

Remainder_medium


VT's ACC slate is terrible BUT they've got to win twice as many games as us just to have a shot. I'd put their odds at winning out to be about 40% versus ours should be in the high 60's. Miami obviously is still in it but they're hanging on by a thread. I kinda want to believe Miami is going to some incredibly obscure bowl now. We'll see.

Thankfully, our ACC slate will be done by November 15th and we have two weeks to prepare for the ball-lickers. I really want to destroy them this year and I think our Halloween matchup with Vandy will be a good indicator for the pending uga matchup.

Thoughts are welcome on the remainder of the schedule.

Haha... ball lickers

The way we’re playing right now I would be surprised if we didn’t win out. Of course even a bad UGA team will do everything they can to get up for that game and I wouldn’t take that one for granted.

I like our chances for Tampa but all we can do is win football games and hope the rest falls in our favor… plus a Miami loss was good to see.

Here’s a moment of Zen for you in light of ending the drought… enjoy

I hope you're not telling us to be concerned

Because this firmly belongs in the ‘meh’ bin. Obviously anything could happen, but the chances of anythign actually happening are pretty slim. I refuse to be in the least bit concerned about Wake or Duke. The other two are non-factors in the ACC race and only uga is of marginal concern w/r/t us winning out, and barely even then since we have two weeks to prepare.

I’ll see you in Tampa.

Goddam you, Jesse

And your eternally positive attitude. If we lose to either of them, I’m coming looking for you.

Haha, sorry man

By all means, please do, but I can’t help it. What’s funny is that I’ve been called overly negative when it comes to the Hawks. I just can’t see CPJ allowing this team to get complacent like a lot of the Gailey teams in the past were. One of the biggest problems of the past teams was that they played to the level of their opponent, which is why we lost to Duke one year and why we would win games we shouldn’t, and lose games we shouldn’t.

If that were true now, UVA would have been a much closer game. I want three things to happen, 11-1 followed by 12-1 followed by 13-1, and I’m not losing faith in this team just yet. I’m doing all the dumb superstitious stuff too, like wearing GT shirts under my work polo’s, which more than once a week is a GT polo anyways, and I wear the same GT shirt every Saturday. I bring my GT big gulp cup everywhere I go. I’m going crazy here just getting drunk on the optimism.

I’m just having too much fun enjoying this team. You really should try the kool-aid, it’s amazing, haha!

I was up on them

I'm about to write you a reality check. Or would you prefer the cold, hard cash of truth?
