Georgia Tech vs. Duke Post-Game. Bowl Eligible. Anything Else?

PrintStyle points don't matter anymore other than the alleviation of our frazzled mental states. And when you are losing to Duke for an entire half of play, you get frazzled. I don't really think it's worth getting into any depth of the game because what mattered most was the win and the move into bowl eligibility. While the season has been frustrating, not getting to bowl eligible status would have been the embarrassing cherry on the embarrassing top. At least we don't have to face that issue.
David Cutcliffe is slowly and surely getting the Blue Devils on a respectable level. One day, maybe we won't roll our eyes when we say "We're playing Duke this week."
Random Thoughts:
- Fans who don't come to games are not true fans. Fans who choose not to go to football games because they are "bored by the matchup" need to straighten up. The attendance was disappointing and sad. (Edited at 8:46 AM thanks to No_Dak Jacket.
- Tevin Washington continues to impress me as a quarterback in the Paul Johnson system and I am less worried about what we'll do at that position next year.
- Thank you Stephen Hill for catching a football and scoring a touchdown
- Bowl eligibility feels good
Looking forward
We have managed to survive a high majority of the football season with one game to go. THE game that, for some, defines any and all football seasons. This game of overall mediocre football is bigger in magnitude because, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets can keep the georgie bulldogs from being bowl eligible. I will smile with contentment if we are able to do so.
Happy Hate Week! Go Jackets!

Fans who don't come to games
I’ll agree that you can question the fandom of those who live in Atlanta or even Georgia in general and don’t come to games. However, unless someone is funding me to make several trans-Atlantic flights each year, there’s no way I’m going to make it to games at present. I watched every second of the Duke game. Same with VPI even though it went until 0300 GMT. I’ll be up very late for the georgie game even though it’s the day that we American ex-pats are observing Thanksgiving here in the UK. How about saying “Fans who don’t go to games just because it’s ‘only Duke’ aren’t really fans.”? I’m guessing that’s what you meant to write, but it’s not what’s there.
In honor of hate week, I have banished my red whiteboard marker and pens to the desk drawer. They will not be put into use again until next week.
good point on the attendance

Thanks!
Wish we could find a way to get our fans excited about going to watch our team play and not to watch the opposing team play. I can’t imagine Florida fans spend all their time complaining that their AD gets them three weak OOC opponents to come play in the Swamp every year. They go to games to watch their Gators play. I don’t care if it’s the Weak Sisters of the Poor coming to BDS, if I’m within distance of being at the game, I’m going to be there to cheer on my Jackets. Seems like too many of our fans think they don’t need to go unless it’s VPI, Clempsen, F$U, or georgie coming to town.
