Jackets must still keep improving
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Seems like forever since Tech last played, and forever since the next game. Much as I like an off week as it allows time with my family (we’re in Chattanooga, as a matter of fact), I otherwise hate them.
For my two cents, I don’t think the Jackets can win the Coastal by continuing to do what they’ve been doing.
Wait, don’t freak!
What I mean is that championship teams keep getting better. As the season goes on, they keep doing what they do well and get better at it, abandon, things they don’t do well, and add wrinkles (without over-doing it) regularly.
Championship teams are usually better at the end off the season than the end, although sometimes a team will get off to a fast start in a poor conference, or division in the NFL, and than sag but still win the title if in a bad league.
Tech doesn’t have that luxury, I don’t think, even though Virginia Tech looked to be waving a white flag Thursday night, and I don’t think Miami is a championship-caliber team this year.
Ya don’t wanna win a championship by default, though. The best way is to keep improving because there are definitely some other teams that are (N.C. State). Speaking of teams on the other side, it’s still hard for me to believe Florida State is as lousy as the ‘Noles have looked.
Looking forward to the start of basketball, by the way. That’ll be my primary responsibility, in fact, before too much longer.
Have a great weekend. This is the best time of year.
