Score at end of game. Tech needs to have ‘over’ the number of points compared to Maryland.

turnover margin +2 for Tech, under means we’re not getting enough pressure on the QB and run coverage, over means the Terps are caving in to the heavy Jacket attack. The Jackets are +7 for the year if I’m correct.

CG says his players are experienced, don’t need motivation. Chan, have you submitted your huge “cost reduction” ideas to 3M, Alcoa,USAir, Wachovia…..well, you get my point? 18—-21 year old students have “been around”, need no motivating yet successful businesses continue to inspire their 40-70 year olds to reach higher levels. No wonder…..Menthol Bowl…no wonder.

I liked Chan’s comment that he told Bond to “keep it conservative” against Clemson once we got a 4 point lead. It worked then because of an superhuman effort by the defense, but how many games can you count that it has lost for us? Last year’s conference championship for one. He just won’t let go of the offense and it’s killing us.

when are we going to start covering recievers? the blitz is great unless an offensive picks up on it as boston college did.once BC picked up our blitz they threw 400 yards, it was easy because thier recievers were all alone in the secondary. can’t we learn anything from that ?

Bob,

20,000?!?!

Try:

Tech vs Clemson: 54,635 fans Tech vs BC: 51,112 fans Tech vs Samford: 43, 288 fans

Granted Tech doesn’t have a 80-100,000 seat stadium like the bigger schools but it still fills out pretty good considering there’s less than 60,000 seats. Guessing you’re a dawg fan right? Check your facts next time buddy! You were off by about 30,000. But good try!

1. Point cushion I would like to see Chan Gailey adopt as the minimum before deciding to go “conservative”. Not many college teams will overcome 28-point leads. Lesser leads vanish every Saturday.

OK,let’s try again since my numeral twenty-eight (28) turned into a one (1). Twenty-eight (28) = the point cushion I would like to see Chan Gailey adopt as the minimum before deciding to go “conservative”. Not many college teams will overcome 28-point leads. Lesser leads vanish every Saturday.

I am really becoming a fan of Mr. old gold engineer.

One of the few privilege’s of being an old fart is being able to speak the truth without worrying about what other people will think.

He understands the “Gailey Mentality” and why it will never produce anything but a mediocre program.

Thank you, my friend - it’s a privilege to be counted among your number.

Here’s an over/under for you: 1 -> the number of times Tech has defeated a Mark Richt coached UGA team…….I’m going with the under since the actual number is ZERO!!

Have fun in you’re own tickle pile SPANKERS!

To: Bob’s an idiot

If you losers wouldn’t remove seats everytime you have a bad year, you could have a big stadium. The spankers don’t want to see an empty stadium so they remove bleachers when the program goes in the tank.

How many seats are going to be removed this year?

P.S. - I guess Taylor Bennett isn’t the Heisman Trophy candidate he was propped up to be. Seems like everyone else’s defense isn’t as soft as WVU.

I can’t see where either of the two Division I schools have anything to brag about after playing West Virgina. They both lost.

I’m with the previous bloggers who realize what an idiot Gailey is ….. telling his O.C. to be conservative with a 4pt lead, then 7pts. then, I guess in Gailey’s mind, an unsurmountable lead for Clemson to overcome - 10pts!
Yeah, in addition to the Wake game last year, just maybe he did the same in the UGA game… Tech did have the lead for most of the game, and it was a crazy, fluke fumble recovery for a TD by UGA’s D that gave them the lead, 7-3 - NICE one coach! protecting a 3pt. lead - jeez.
Now, knowing he’d told his O.C. this in the Clemson game while watching some of the replay last night on CSS, Tech fans are due for more of Gailey snatching DEFEAT out of the jaws of Victory.
Proof: again, armed with the knowledge he’s told his O.C. to go conservative…….with a little more than 11 minutes to go in the game Tech had just taken a 13-3 lead. The D stuffs Clemson for losses back to around the 10-15 yd line on the first 2 plays after the kickoff. The crowd’s getting hyped-up, the players are feeding off of the crowd, Tech intercepts the 3rd down pass attempt, and has the ball at midfield … It’s time to put the final nail in the coffin coach! Drive down, score 7, 20-3 lead, game over!! Instead …….

Heartache coming for us Tech fans, heartache coming!

Chan does nothing but depress me with his mediocricy.

Go conservative with a 4pt lead? What the hell? Even pro teams don’t “go conservative” in that situation. If it were not for Tenuta’s D and TC we would have been really emberassed with that kind of attitude.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM CHAN AND GET THE RECIEVERS SOME EXTRA PRACTICE SO THEY QUIT DROPPING EASY PASSES. You deserve to be fired.

Mike, too bad you ask an honest question and you get these responses. My over-under is 5 sacks and 35% third down conversions for Tech to win the game.

I’m no Chan apologist, but those calling out for Chan to be a better “motivator” need to tune into YouTube a little bit. Check out the clip of Chan after the Miami game last year. Check out the clip of team chaplain before the UNC game last year. How about checking out the clip of Double Deuce before the game this past Saturday? This team doesn’t need more motivation. This team is inspired from within. What this team needs is weekly preparation. And that is where I fault Chan from time to time. But how about a little credit where credit is due. Chan saw a D that was soft for the UVA game so what does he do? He pits 1s against 1s in practice last week, and look what happens to the high-powered Clemson O on the next Saturday?

It’s absolutely amazing that we can have this level of pessimism after a win over a ranked team in our house for the first time in who-knows-when.

Am I a love-Chan-at-all-costs guy? Nope. If we lose against the turtles this weekend due to lack of preparation, that will fall squarely on Chan’s shoulders.

Go Jackets!

GTJuggernaut:

You make a good point, we knew our defense was good and Tenuta is a great planner. That’s what really won that game. Well the D and TC. Chan Gailey had little to do with that. His offense still looked lethargic. The receivers couldn’t catch balls and we could have easily lost that game if the Clemson kicker hadn’t missed FGs like he did (I know some of them were long).

I am as pumped up as anyone that GT won that game and I was cheering them on the whole time, but I still see mediocre in Chan’s coaching and I think it’s time he goes.
