Motivating factors
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fifteen years ago, Georgia Tech won at Virginia. It has been winless in Charlottesville since.
Of course, the 1990 game holds a special place in Georgia Tech lore: The Yellow Jackets upset No. 1 Virginia, 41-38.
But now Tech is mired in a long dry spell — six-straight losses at Scott Stadium. Coach Chan Gailey said he will not mention the losing streak to his team. Still, some of the players are very much aware of it. Chris Reis said it would be used as motivation.
Do you think Gailey should take Reis’ approach, or try to separate this year’s teams from that by not bringing it up at all? Would mentioning the losing streak do more damage or good?
