Fun Gameday Fact
At 4:22 EST an Air Force T-6 flying out of Columbus, Mississippi will perform a pregame flyover of Sanford Stadium. Piloting that T-6 will be one of the most decorated Georgia Tech Air Force ROTC graduates ever and one Helluva Engineer! He reports he’ll be wearing his GT class ring.

Offenses and Defensive line schemes
I am hoping we are going to see a little more of what these units have in their arsenal that they are slowly unwrapping as the competition gets tougher each succeeding week.

Quick strike
14 seconds is all it took to score. 73 yard pass from Washington to Zenon.

Decent passing stats
Washington is 2 for 2 for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Decent QB rating
http://www.primecomputing.com/ says it’s 1034.8.
That’s not bad.
Well, there go the stats
No touchdown that time, and only 41 yards.
I hope Hill is OK.
Well, crap
There’s an incomplete pass. He’s only 4 of 5 for 191 yards and 2 TDs.
Fewer glitches with ESPN3 this time
but the special teams glitches continue.

What is the seating capacity of the frying pan?
I know they were predicting over 30,000 but there are a lot of empty seats.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 7:46 PM EDT reply actions
Wikipedia says 31000
Apparently it can be expanded to 71000, but “there are no plans” for that
That's what I thought so . .
the crowd must be a little disappointing given all the hype before hand.

Ah, there it is
Tech’s first fumble. NOW it’s an official game.
"3rd and long here. You never know what Tech will do"
“They’ll run the ball here, as well as possibly pass it.”
Oh, really?
:-)
Time to talk about Tech being out of their comfort zone when they have to throw and other overused cliches.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
wow, a successful special teams play
A long punt, and a first contact tackle. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Tech do that in my 4 years of watching
I would love to see a defensive touchdown
that could do wonders for team morale.

Good week for the ACC
Looks like we won all out of conference games. Although what happened with Clampson?
right right
I thought they would lose worse. Moral victory?
Clemson didnt look too good last week either
They were behind at points in the 3rd quarter in both games. They look to be quite overrated.
O.K., get mad
because the other team scored.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 8:07 PM EDT reply actions
Maybe a kick off return for a touchdown would be appropriate.

Just got home from Mellow Mushroom
Being surrounded by a bunch of "U"GA fans as they lost yet again made me quite happy. It helped cover for the fact that I couldn’t be watching GT throw two 50+ yds TDs.
THWG!
How much longer for Richt or Bobo?

I doubt they will let him go mid-season
But if they lose to Florida and GT, or maybe even just to Vandy and Kentucky, then he’s going to be damn close to getting the hobnail boot, as they like to say in Athens.
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
Georgia looked a lot better yesterday
If Murray hadn’t tried to get rid of the ball as he was being dragged down I think Georgia would have won. He had the ball tucked in and the South Carolina player was pulling him down. Then he lifted his arm to throw and lost his grip.
I think Georgia will be fine.
Hate to admit it...
…but the ONLY thing keeping Richt’s job at georgie is his record against Tech. If he did any worse than .500 (like Donnan), he’d be GONE. Maybe even worse than .667.
If they lose to Florida? Don’t you mean WHEN? Losing to UF comes with that job as of late.
Wherever Richt lands he will be fine—maybe Miami (his alma mater)? Now that would SUCK.
If georgie were smart (insert joke here), they would keep Richt and fire Bobo. But then again, offense didn’t lose that game (aside from turnovers).
LOL @ ESPN3 Announcer
Penalty on MT’s defense and the announcer comments about an offensive miscue for GT.
THWG!
It's almost like it is announcer's DNA to think Tech is going to screw up at some point
What with running that wacky exotic offense?
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 8:52 PM EDT reply actions
Now they did it again
confusing chop blocks and cut blocks.

Off topic, but
who does Georgia Tech have at the nickel and dimebacks?
Where do you see Reid playing?
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 8:57 PM EDT up reply actions
It would be nice to see Lyons get the first down when everyone is expecting a run up the middle.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 9:03 PM EDT reply actions
I would still like to see Days give up the ball
Just once I’d like to see him make a pitch. Sims (and maybe Jones) could hit a hundred tonight if they ever get the ball.
He runs well but he doesn’t seem to run the option that well.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions
He's making tosses to Zenon
but those are called plays, not option reads.
I don’t think I’ve seen him make a pitch on an option read. Ever.
Another off topic topic
But has TJ Barnes played much in the first two games? If not, I wonder if they would consider moving him to DE?
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 9:17 PM EDT reply actions
Ohhh-h-h-h, those must be the new rules, coach.
by Atlanta's original team on Sep 10, 2011 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm concerned about the defense
and how they will do with a really good team.
The offense, except for a couple of fumbles, is fine.
And Days needs to learn to read the defense and make a pitch. Keeping the ball is working tonight, but it won’t against North Carolina.

100% agreed, sir.
Especially on the defensive front. I’m very very concerned there… it feels like “bend but don’t break” but we’re REALLY bending…
THWG!
I don't know
Have you watched NC’s games yet? Keeping might still work against them. I haven’t been impressed.
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
Not that I don't agree with your point
Because I absolutely do agree that he needs to L2pitch.
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
A complete game
I feel a ton better about Kansas then I did this morning!
so far so good
