DEL.ICIO.USTech’s changes point to 7-5 again
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Jeff Schultz
Who says engineering schools are dull? Georgia Tech saw its football coach (Chan Gailey) finally sign a five-year extension, only to turn around and hand play-calling duties to Patrick Nix (which infuriated nobody). The school hired a new athletics director (Dan Radakovich) to replace his beaten-down predecessor (Dave Braine). Also, the Yellow Jackets took yoga classes.
To what extent this opens Tech’s chakras or elevates the team to an enlightened state remains to be seen. But I’m thinking it’s going to take more than a candle and incense to beat Notre Dame.
Sept. 2: Notre Dame
There’s a book out, “The New Gold Standard: Charlie Weis and Notre Dame’s Rise to Glory.” First time I’ve ever seen a 9-3 season associated with “gold standard” or “glory.” Of course, the Irish hadn’t won nine games since Ty Willingham won 10 in his first season. That certainly turned out well. Did Willingham get a book in South Bend, too, or is that just reserved for dumpy white guys with crew cuts? The Irish have talent. Tech has a habit of jolting ranked opponents. Count on a scare, but that’s all:
• Prediction: Loss.
Sept. 9: Samford
Hey, beatable Bulldogs! Tech beat Samford only 28-7 two years ago after winning the first five meetings in the series by a combined 170-0. But you can’t be picky. Besides, Samford might be feeling cocky after that opener against Miles College (huh?).
• Prediction: Win.
Sept. 16: Troy
Ah, the extent a schedule-maker will go to get a team back above .500 after Notre Dame week. Why not just add Montevallo in Week 4 and crown this the “Punks of Alabama Month”? Troy, at least, could make things interesting with a spread offense. Did I just say that?
• Prediction: Win.
Sept. 21: Virginia
It’s a short week with an ESPN game. Fortunately, Virginia isn’t a step up from Troy. When the Cadavers hired Al Groh, they expected a Bill Parcells clone, not a coach who would go 2-11 against Miami, Florida State, Virginia Tech and Boston College. Virginia even lost to North Carolina last year, 7-5. The fact Groh has had several NFL graduates leads to only one conclusion: He’s coaching them down.
• Prediction: 3-1.
Sept. 30: at Virginia Tech
Imagine going 11-2 and being in a bad mood. (Jackets can only imagine.) Hokies started 8-0, then were drilled by Miami, lost to FSU in the ACC title game and had a Gator Bowl win soiled by Marcus Vick’s tap dance on an opponent. But Va-Tech is what Miami used to be — a program on constant reload. Upset? Don’t even think about it.
• Prediction: Smackdown.
Oct. 7: Maryland
I like Ralph Friedgen. Everybody likes Ralph Friedgen. But when 10-12 in two seasons follows 31-8 in the first three, you don’t want to be anywhere near Ralph Friedgen. The man’s so dejected, I guess he can’t eat. He’s lost 30 pounds, give or take a Ho Ho. He also lost his coordinators — and nobody’s sure where they’re buried. Friedgen will go back to calling plays, which is what he’s good at.
• So eat this up: Loss.
Oct. 21: at Clemson
Team Esso has become the fashionable upset pick in the ACC Atlantic, which begs the question, “Since when do teams that lose to Wake Forest become fashionable upset picks?” If the Tigers’ annual preseason projections were any more inflated, they’d be Georgia. Yeah, they have 17 starters back. But they’re CLEMSON starters. I think I just talked myself into an upset.
• Prediction: Win.
Oct. 28: Miami
It’s been a great offseason for Miami. Larry Coker blew out his coaching staff, four players (including running back Tyrone Moss) were suspended and another was shot in his hiney. The alumni liked it better when the players just won national titles between arrests. But motivation won’t be a problem against Tech, which somehow won in the Orange Bowl last year. Payback time.
• Prediction: Loss.
Nov. 4: at N.C. State
Chuck Amato said he would build a great program. Then again, he never said when. Or where. For that matter, he never said football. Maybe he was talking about a cooking show? The Wolfpack is only 23-25 in the ACC under Chuckles. Hope he enjoys that rugged non-conference schedule (Appalachian State, Akron, Southern Miss, East Carolina).
• Prediction: Win.
Nov. 11: at North Carolina
Buzz gets the Tar Heels the week after they’re pummeled at Notre Dame and the week before they meet their rivals from Raleigh. And there’s this: Carolina QB Joe Dailey is a transfer from Nebraska, where he threw 19 interceptions in 2004 and was on the hook for the Cornboys’ first losing season since 1961. Oops.
• Prediction: Win.
Nov. 18: Duke
Zack Asack, who would have started at quarterback for the Blue Devils, was suspended for the season for cheating on a test. OK, I’m trying to figure out what the problem is. Duke was 1-10 last season and is 9-59 in the past six. Is losing the quarterback going to make that big of a difference?
• Prediction: Three straight!
Nov. 25: at Georgia
The Jackets allowed 85 points in Gailey’s first two games against Dog U but only 33 in the past two. So somebody’s figured something out. But moral victories don’t pay the donors who pay the bills. Same game, same story. Another Tech senior class gets blanked.
• Prediction: Loss (record: 7-5).

I’m still trying to figure out if the AJC writers are just having fun with the Techsters’ math skills. First Bradley says 9-3 and nobody from Tech disagreed. Now Schultz says 7-5.
Nobody from Tech challenged the math when Bradley predicted 9 wins, but 9-3 is improbable from the standpoint of the math involved. If Tech wins 9 games in the regular season they will go to a bowl game which they would either win or lose. 10-3 would be possible and 9-4 would be possible, but 9-3 would not.
If Tech wins 7 games during the regular season they would undoubtedly go to a bowl game. If They won they would be 8-5. If they lost they would be 7-6. They cannot go 7-5.
My bet is the writers at AJC have been having a good laugh that the math geniuses at Tech haven’t caught on. It is either that or the AJC writers aren’t very good at math.
Which is it Schultz? I’m laughing either way.

Technically, winning six (or more) games does not guarantee a bowl. The dogs might get so mad after their loss to Tech this year, they might try to fight…just like Clemson and SC did a couple of years ago and neither attended a post season game.
But, nice try.

He plays it safe on every article, doesnt take gambles on upsets. Any regular fan could write this crap… I dont know what he’s getting paid to do.

If I’m Gailey, I’ve got Reggie locked in a small room watching films of Joe Hamilton and Shawn Jones until the Irish defense takes the field. And for good measure, lock Pat Nix in the adjoining room watching old Friedgen films from those same two eras.

So GT doesn’t upset anyone but Clemson (which isn’t an upset). If he’s banking the usual GT, we upset a big team each year (Auburn/Miami last year). Wouldn’t we beat at least one of ND, UGA, Miami, or VT?
Wins: 6 (Stanford, Troy, Maryland, NCState, UNC, Duke) Toss-up: 1 Clemson, UVA Upsets Required: 2 ND, Miami, VT, and UGA
9-3 should be what most people would guess as a decent year.
I’m guessing, we get ND out the gate. I got 10-2.

“If he’s banking the usual GT, we upset a big team each year (Auburn/Miami last year). Wouldn’t we beat at least one of ND, UGA, Miami, or VT?”
that is such a dumb statement. ga yech is an avg team at best. they always finish in the middle of the pack. they won’t come close to winning their division in a watered down acc. they will lose to uga AGAIN. they will go at best 7-5 and people will be calling for gaileys head. lets face the facts people. ga tech is not a top 25 program. and they never will be!

You are wound up pretty tight there, abe, and saying things that don’t reflect well on you. Usually people who attack others the way you do have some pretty serious insecurities.
What you say has no substance. Maybe all you are capable of is calling people names, but it makes you look bitter and foolish at best.
You are very confused accusing me of saying Tech will beat Georgia this year. I haven’t made a prediction on this blog, but as a Georgia fan I hope the dawgs win. The facts Georgia has more and better athletes, the game is in Athens, Richt is Georgia’s coach , and Georgia has an off week before the game tell me Georgia’s chances are good.
I also know some years Tech will beat Georgia. When that happens the world is not going to end shortly thereafter, despite your assertion to the contrary. You say something like that and call Waco delirious?
If you are capable of observation and logical thought, please consider the fact it has happened before and we are still here.
A Tech win would probably even bring Retired Engineer out of his funk where everything bores him.

Mr. Schultz, I rarely agree with your panels but this one, my friend, you nailed RIGHT ON THE HEAD! You even followed the same, familiar path that Tech always leads…i.e. they win a game they shouldn’t and then LOSE a game or two they shouldn’t. Oh well, 7-5 ain’t too bad if you really like traveling to nice, sunny, balmy…San Francisco? Now I have a question for you Techies. What good would a win over Notre Dame (I still think ND will squash you) if you lose to a team like NC State or Duke? I only mention this because it’s been a every year trend for a long time and it’s going to happen again this year…and you KNOW it! It’s just a matter of who and when!

I have Tech at 8-2, barring major injuries. There are 7 teams they are more talented than and if they can steal one (although it never seems to work that way ) from the other 5 games I would be happy. Tech is due to beat UGA and this will probably be the best chance in recent years. The Jackets should enjoy a tuneup win from Duke the week before UGA.

another season of watching Johnson run fly patterns down the sideline, only to see Ball throw the ball 10 yds over his head, or seeing some 170 lb. safety bump him 10 yards out of bounds.
7-6 counting some lesser bowl loss.

Jeff Schultz may think he knows GT, but he clearly does not know ND. Sarcasm aside, there is indeed a new gold standard in South Bend and ND is going to the top. The Weis era is the real deal - not fool’s gold like Ty’s “one and done” debacle at ND. Cynics abound, but soon they will see that ND will be a Top 5 program as long as Weis walks the sidelines. At that point, they will begin claiming ND “sold out” academics for football glory. Watch it unfold - it is only a matter of time as recruits and his system are built. ND will be very good this year; they will be an awesome machine within three years. Let the ND hating begin! Tech loses by 21.

Why would 7-5 be a shock for GT any year … that’s all we seen Gailey capable of these last 4. Chan almost needs 12 games to get to 8 and even then it’s going to be against a lower division.
The D can play well as long as Tenuta sticks around, although we have seen some games where the D has been lit up - can anyone remember VT and Utah in ‘05?
The O has a problem, they still have Chan and his chip off the old block - Nix.
7-5, 6-6, 5-7 - hey anything is possible with these guys leading the O.

7 is not a lucky number. All Tech fans, as I am one of them, should tell Gailey that 7 wins will be the end of his career at Tech. Go 3-9 or 9-3, 4-8 or 8-4, but get off of 7.
It’s not a lucky number for us!

Ty Willingham’s 10-3 record in his year at Notre Dame actually spawned two books: 1)Return to Glory: Inside Notre Dame’s Amazing First Season at Notre Dame by Alan Grant and 2) Tyrone Willingham: Returning Notre Dame to Glory by Fred Mitchell.
Notre Dame will celebrate any winner regardless of race. We tend to turn on coaches who lose to USC by 31 points three years in a row.

Just for the record. I understand that everyone is prone to supporting the team they love. Often this means believing that your team will achieve something in the present only because there is a history of doing something similar in the past.
Case in point; the poster above who states “If he’s banking the usual GT, we upset a big team each year. Wouldn’t we beat at least one of ND, UGA, Miami, or VT?”
As true as it may be that GT has made a reputation of upsetting big teams now and again, I wouldn’t place any money on them versus Notre Dame this coming weekend. If we’re being honest here, Tech. isn’t even close to being at the level that ND will be playing at this year.
Not that Tech is a bad team, but what it really comes down to is coaching. Pitting Chan Gailey against Charlie wise is like pitting the Night Manager of your local Taco Bell against Bill Gates to see who is the more successful businessman.
If you want to judge this game on historical data, than maybe you should look into GT’s overall record against ND. I believe they are 5-26-1. Maybe the math wizards at GT should crunch those numbers for a while and realize that there isn’t really a chance in heck of them winning this game.
Save the upset talk for another game, and don’t get your hopes up…See ya’ll on Spet. 2nd, and “Go Irish!!!!”

I am sick of us Tech fans being so passive in our predictions. Frap the “I’m just being realistic.” No, you are being negative. Let’s stop being embarressed about being confident and predict what we really see, like 9-3 or 10-2. You know you see it, your just too passive and scared to say it. All the peices are in place, and will be for a long time with the recruiting coup we’re having and the trifecta we are going to land on 8-31. We currently have the best player in the country, and Ball is not a bad QB. I see a breakout year, especially with a new weapon in Jamaal Evans. You, and everyone else, is going to be very surprised by this kid. There is not one game on this schedule that we cannot win, and until the fans can believe, then you’ll have your nice self-fulfilling prophecy. We’re undefeated, so let’s start acting like it.

I would like to piggy-back on the comment made by Jeff. Willingham did have books written after his first season, so it’s not “just reserved for dumpy white guys with crew cuts.” It is a know fact that he coached Notre Dame to more blow out losses than any other coach is school history and didn’t live up to excellence both off and on the field. That is why he was fired, not because he was black
And by the way, I have a trivia question: Who was the last black football coach hired at Georgia Tech……………………….. …oh wait, they haven’t. Nice hack journalism Schultz; at least do your research next time.

In regards to the post from Shivas…I couldn’t agree more that no true fan should ever talk down about their team, and that a positive attitude can go along way.
However saying, “There is not one game on this schedule that we cannot win”, and “We’re undefeated, so let’s start acting like it.”
Maybe you should really try that reality thing you dismissed in your first sentence! You’re only undefeated because the season hasn’t started yet…I love your approach, but there is a little variable called reality that needs to be considered when placing a comment on public display…

Right on Scotch boy! GT will go 9-3, maybe 10-2, and will beat at least two (and probably three) of the following teams: UGA, VT, UM, ND, or Clem. My picks are VT, UGA, and Clemson.
I have a couple of things to mention that nobody else has talked about that I’ve seen. Did anyone know that the three years before Carson Palmer won the Heisman, he had almost an identical TD to INT ratio as Reggie Ball? I believe Palmer was like 13-12 his junior year and believed to be relatively mediocre.
Also, why hasn’t anyone pointed out that the prediction of a VT “smackdown” is absolutely ignorant? That’s just pointing out that all Schultz does (like most other sports reporters) is reiterate last year’s results in their preseason predictions? Don’t you people think when you write? Or do you just look at last year’s record and rewrite it in your preseason preview? Why not call it “last year’s record rewritten”? That would make more sense. VT has an imobile QB that’s never thrown a pass in college, 3 new offensive linemen, and no real game before playing us in week 4. Of course they will have a great D and a good RB. Who does that sound like? Oh yeah, Miami and Auburn last year. How’d that turn out? Oh yeah, VT lost 9 starters to the draft and one to supidity. Yeah, they should beat the crap out of us!
One other prediction, it’s not a win or loss, but by the end of the game, Quinn will have more grass on him than Nate Newton out for a Sunday drive! ND hasn’t faced a team that blitzes 40 times a game yet. The ACC is a defensive conference, that happens to have a lot of offensive firepower. That will be apparent about 10:00 PM a week from today.
By the way, 06 chumps, how did ND do the last time we played? Pretty sure GT won that one. I think we’re a little past the Rudy days. And, another poin, if you really know your football, you’d know that Chan Gailey has already outcoached Weiss a couple of times. O-coordinators in the AFC East. I’m not predicting a blowout by GT or anything, but we graduated a similar number of NFL players last year. And, you should all remember, Charlie Weiss has to coach against John Tenuta which is something no coach relishes.
Peace, and good luck to ND and UGA. It will look better for us regardless of whether we win or lose.

I love the preseason predictions of Tech fans. Reggie is better right? One guy even compared him to Carson Palmer. LOL. Reggie can barely get the ball to Calvin most games. And he routinely cost Tech a couple of games a season. The funny thing is that of all of Techs big wins since Chan arrived(all 3 of them, Auburn x2 and Miami) it was the defense that won the game, not Reggie Ball. And you guys haven’t seen an offense like Notre Dame, especially with all offseason to prepare. Face reality, techies, you are an average Division 1 program. Nothing more, nothing less. It will be another 7 or 8 win season for the trade school.

Georgia Tech goes 9-3. Upsets Norte Dame, and UGA, and Clemson (If its an upset).I cant stand the negativity of Tech fans. Realize that Reggie Ball has taken us to a bowl for 3 straight years, and is poised to have his best year ever. Also, while some people on this wall wrote that Tech hasnt’t seen an offens like Norte Dames, they obviously haven’t watched Georgia Tech football the last 4 years. consider this, Nortre Dame is comin down South. We don’t play northern football. We dont’ play West coast football. This is smashmouth downsouth football. 8:00 pm. Atlanta skyline shining, national television, 56,000 drunk fans, Tech will be so fired up. Norte Dame better come hard, or not come at all. I dont think tech will blow out Norte Damn, but I do know that Tech isn’t scared. Norte Dame is in the recent past a lower tier program then Georgia Tech. I think Tech has been to 8 straight bowls, and I dont think Norte Dame is on that list. Go Jackets, Fight, Win, Drink, Get Naked!

Why can’t the stupid idiots from Athens ever just accept having a rebuilding season.

Apparently, Moderate is illiterate. So, I’ll rewrite using small words. I only compared stats. I guess he isn’t too up on his college football. All I was pointing out was that 4th year starters usually have good years. I would never put Reggie in the same class as where Carson Palmer is or where Quinn is. But, at this point in his career, Reggie is responsible for more TDs (and INTs) than Palmer was in his.
By the way genius, look up Gailey’s head to head record against Weis in September…with all summer to plan. I guess it helps being a Dolphins fan too!
If you know your football, bring some real discussion. If you just like to say GT sucks, blah blah blah, they have UGA circle jerks…I mean websites for that.

Jeff that’s a great pick. It’s based on historical data. Gailey is great at having 6/7 win or slightly average seasons. He’s done it in college and the pro’s. It makes one wander how can we make a million bucks in the private sector for being an average employee.
