Welcome to Nesbitt Park

Try to imagine yourself on Grant Field. You get your first look at this "flexbone offense" after you kickoff. It moves like an option, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual keys are based on defensive formations like Meyer - he'll lose you if you shift. But no, not Paul Johnson. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the fullback, but from the side...from the other two A-backs you didn't even know were there. Because Yellow Jackets are pack hunters, you see, Johnson uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a highly precise rushing attack, like a razor, on the football field. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to beat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.

I think there was a misunderstanding . . .
When I said, “He looks like a giant turkey,” I was talking about Frank Beamer.
To HELL with georgia!

oh and lol
at the QB throwing a ball in the silloette, like nesbitt would ever throw a pass that isn’t into the ground lol.
He punched a jackass taxi driver
who cares?
And this is why you'd lose any day.
Also, nice work on the blockquote description. I didn’t realize you were mad-libbing off of the original script until toward the end, but it made me chuckle once I got to the lion part and remembered that scene in the movie.
But then I laughed hard when I saw the pic of Clayborn (The T-Rex) eating the Nes-Bitt like a raptor morsel.

NFL
Apparently you don’t know much about football, but the NFL draft will make it perfectly clear how wrong you are about that. You would have thought Clayborn winning MVP and Nesbitt getting his ass kicked would have already addressed this, but apparently GT fans are still delusional. It certainly got very quite on the message boards after all the shit talking on the run up to the Orange Bowl. We kept trying to tell you that you hadn’t seen a D like Clayborn and company, who you insisted would be no match for your triple option. Keep talking shit despite the facts.

Iowa Fans = most sensitive fans in America...
…it’s only football.
With no powers, comes no responsibility.
Certain GT Fans = not getting it
Hawk fans are true pack hunters. :D
The taxi driver used a racial slur.
I don’t care if you are from Iowa or Georgia, or even Missouri, you just don’t do that. And if you seriously want Nesbitt on your team more than Clayborn then you are probably:
A). A former offensive coordinator for a junior high football team that only won one game because your defense scored a touchdown on a freak fumble in the endzone (it happened to my team, so don’t question. And our OC sucked).
or B). You literally did not watch a single possession Nesbitt/Clayborn were on the field together. Because Nesbitt sucked and Clayborn got Orange Bowl MVP.
or C...
I watched every game Tech played this season and know that a DT wouldn’t have helped our team reach the OB like Josh Nesbitt did.
Clayborn was dominant in that game against us. Okay. I accept that. But he wouldn’t have changed the win/loss column for us last year like #9 did.
Josh Nesbitt was the reason we won 11 games last season. We haven’t done that since 1990. I’m sorry, it would be ludicrous for any sane Tech fan to say they’d rather have a dominant defensive tackle that won an Orange Bowl MVP over a quarterback that has won almost 20 games and a conference title in two years. One bad game be damned. I’ll take the quarterback over the DT.

Nah...
…we’re just passionate. The most sensative fans are Boise fans (or Ohio State fans after a loss).

watch yourself there
Before we start badmouthing players for off the field issues let us not forget Mr. Robert Hall who tried to throw his girlfriend through a wall. Rate the crimes as you see fit but don’t pretend GT hasn’t had its share of issues..
Too high? What do you mean too high?

yeah but guess what
CPJ and Tech suspended Robert Hall. Tech and Iowa have issues but Tech knows how to deal with them.

waiting for that
Our program understands that punching a taxi driver after he dropped an N-bomb, the courts bringing the charge down to the most irrelevant misdemeanor and him not having any formal court punishment is different than throwing a woman through a wall.
Listen, I am not trying to defend what Clayborne did, it was wrong and it should not have happened. But to think it approaches the level of battery of a woman shows ignorance. The punishments in both cases fit the crimes committed.
Now I would assume you are going to educate me on why I am incorrect, proceed.

I think you are trying to insinuate
that I am defending either player’s actions. I am not defending either player’s actions. I think both players should’ve been suspended no matter how they were provoked.
I am merely stating that we’ve got two players involved in situations where they assaulted people and both were treated differently. Your guy is a star so he doesn’t have to sit until an entire season later. What facts changed from March of last year to now? To me, it appears that Kirk has a soft spot for bad kids. Hence, all the other incidents…1, 2, 3…and so on. Whenever Tech has a legal issue with a kid, he’s suspended until it’s resolved.
Jarrard Tarrant was in a similar situation to Clayborn. The charges were bogus but the DA didn’t drop the case until the season had started guaranteeing a wasted year of eligibility for Tarrant. However, Tech didn’t reinstate Tarrant. They let the legal system work. Iowa, after reading about all of these incidents, just doesn’t seem to care.

I am not trying to insinuate defense of player's actions
We both agree the actions are unacceptable. The Tarrant case illustrates the wisdom of letting the legal system play out. When his suspension was enforced and he lost a year who did that hurt? Tarrant. As you say the charges were bogus yet he had to sit. In Clayborne’s case the charges were bogus so why punish him knowing the case would basically be dropped? Again the punishment should fit the crime. Clayborne’s case wasn’t actually ruled assault actually. If I bumped into Nesbitt on the street and then charged him with assault would he be suspended for the year while the BS case worked through the courts?
In example 2 above both players were kicked off the team, in 3 he was suspended for a year and 1 just happened but it has come to light that it wasn’t a fight but enforcement of a new rule in Iowa City. Iowa has had its share of issues but please don’t insinuate Iowa doesn’t care about their players or is soft on their players.
