I’m not real good with math, but if I’m counting correctly, Shaw took 14 snaps against UNC and fumbled 2 of them. That’s your idea of a ‘capable’ QB? Behind a patched-up offensive line, our QB is going to be running for his life all night. We are a heck of a lot better off w/ Nesbitt - if he’s healthy - but I’m betting Nesbitt doesn’t play tomorrow. Anyway - TECH FANS - SHOW UP, WEAR WHITE AND BE LOUD!

Good news! Administration has agreed that we can use AMC for the post game Tickle Pile. It will be open for two hours after the game. One word of caution: I don’t think this would be an appropriate place for families to drop by, warm up and wait for the traffic to clear out. As we all know the Tickle Piles are a little different than when we were in school and may be objectionable for families. It’s a little more hard core than it used to be but still great fun.

Good Grief, I apologize, because I’m really not trashing Jaybow Shaw. He is a D2 QB at best. We have little or NO chance to win with this kid at QB. I am really amazed that Coach recruited him away from MTSU. His best chance to play would have been there. We don’t need anymore REGGIES!

As long as Shaw has been getting the reps in practice (and it sounds like he has) we’ll be ok. He is not as explosive as a healthy Nesbitt but we don’t have a healthy Nesbitt. I’d rather let Shaw run the offense against Miami and let Nesbitt get healthy for the UGA game.

If we can only win one of the next two (and I’m not saying that is the case), I think most on this board can agree that we want it to be the mutts. Get healthy Josh!

This will be an almost exact replay of the UNC game.

Josh will force trying to play - he will hobble around and we will be constantly punting on 4th and 15.

Their defense is just TOO FAST for a limping QB and a noble but patchwork O-Line

Once the line is tired and further banged up, Shaw will come in and get creamed again and fumble again.

Our defense will slow them down, but the turnovers will kill us and we will have limited offense.

By the time we get to UGA - pretty much everyone will be hurt and it will be another 51-7 debacle.

Yes, but he cannot turn the ball over.

And our defense must play big, very big. That means we need to turn them over.

We cannot put Jaybo in a position where everyone knows he is going to pass the ball, or the speedy Miami defense will eat him up.

I would rather have Josh because of his escapability, but if he is 50-60%, that will not work, and we need him 90-100% for the most important game of the year.

Go Jackets!!

Hell yes Jaybo can run the offense! Please, coach Johnson, I know a healthy Nesbitt gives us our best chance to win, but please don’t continue to play a OBVIOUSLY, VISIBLY injured Nesbitt when you have a more than capable back-up in Shaw. That said, if shaw gets hurt, don’t you dare trot Calvin Booker out there. I’d rather you put Dwyer in at QB and Lucas Cox as B-back. I know that eliminates the pass, but noone actually defends the pass anyway.

How many points did Tech score after Shaw came in during the FSU game? And how many fumbles did he have after he came in for Josh during the UNC game? We need to pray Josh is healthy. Shaw is a D2 QB—he can dominate in the small games (MSU & Duke), but when it comes to the big show, he can’t hang under the pressure. He’s made this very obvious in 2 straight games.

By GT GRAD

GT can beat Miami with Shaw; primarily because Football is the ultimate TEAM sport. If all of the GT players get focused and play well, we can win with Shaw. Shaw is capable of running the offense, but he is young. He will get better with time and maturity. I watched Shaw in practice during the spring; he understands the system and he throws the ball fairly well when given the chance.

I say we play Shaw against Miami and make sure Nesbit is as healthy as possible for the UGA game; however, I completely support PJ and his coaches with whatever decisions they make regarding the team. We are very fortunate to have PJ at GT!

The future of GT Football is very bright indeed!!

I have total confidence in Jaybo. He will be ready.

And it is funny to read the few dilusional posts by cane fans who believe they are some thug dynasty again.

I know some of you think Shaw cant beat UM, but we need to go ahead and start him. He’s young but capable. Yes he’s looked bad as well, but start the game with him trying to save Nesbitt for the mangy mutts. I think he’s ready to step it up again. If we do a better job up front, he’ll do fine. This game doesn’t mean much, because the odds of UVA, VT and UNC all losing are slim, so it’s important to have Nesbitt healthy for the 29th.

I think that Josh gives us a better chance to win-Speed. I will say that Jaybo is a very capable young man in running this team-The one thing that I so like about Jaybo is that he trust that his backs are going to be there and is not afraid to pitch while getting hit which can spring the play. It will come down to assignments and Tech has to protect the ball. I look for the defense to step up. This is the last game at Dodd for some of these men-Look for MJ to bust out on Primetime. I will love to see us start a string vs the Dawgs and then ask the fans how important will it be to beat Tech. Not to get ahead of myself-I think that Tech has a good chance to run crazy on UGA-I’m only saying based upon what I’ve seen other teams do against the Dogs and I will put Tech’s running game against any that the dogs have faced this year! Watching the Navy-ND game last Saturday I saw plays that Tech has not ran yet-When they all get fully into this Option- It will become very interesting!!! I saw Navy do things on Saturday and was impressed. Tech has a good future with CPJ- Go Jackets and THWG!!!

If my starting QB was photographed in a 2-MAN tickle pile, I think I’d leave the subject alone. Has anyone NOT seen Stafford’s pic in SpoonFest ‘07? If not, google image Matt Stafford spooning

DawgNirvana - It’s painful to admit this but I agree with you. Your 2:24 post is completely off topic and shouldn’t be on this board but I still agree with you.

GO JACKETS! THWG!

Leave it alone? What it? Ticklepiles? Never since it seems to be you guys that are obsessed with the cute spelling in posts. Old man Freud might have a few things to say about you girls state of mind. Oh well Stafford has put a stake (metaphorical or real) through the little sisters of tech the last couple of years. I think he can do it again whatever his persuasion may be. So enjoy your ticklepiles and and 0-8 streak. See ya would never ever in googleplex years wanna be ya!

Hello GT fans,

I have read all the info on the net about this game from the Canes prospective and waited to get some from yours. The white out will be cool, it will be the closes thing to snow a lot of our players have seen. Well, I would say I wish you well but that would be a lie. I can say that I hope no one on your team gets hurt, both teams are young and this will be the beginning of a great match up year end and year out. By the way we will get our offence together, we do need a better OL but the main reason we don’t score as many points is because we continue to play Marve at QB, now don’t get me wrong Marve is a very good QB but at this stage Jacory is much better able to read the defense and get the ball to the abundance of young playmakers we have on offence. So, the best chance for you guys to hold us under say 21 points will be to hope that Marve starts off playing well. Also, our defense is playing very good right now, but with you all running that Triple Option our youth scares the hell out of me. I hope we can stay disciplined if we do, we will win, and if we do and Jacory plays then it won’t be close.

KneeJerk & Tech82,

Probably agree on a few things with you guys also….our football team(s) would not be one of them. Good old fashioned clean hate is ok, though. Nothing personal from my end….3 of the 7 guys I play golf with graduated from GT so I am used to catching grief from Jacket fans…best of luck Thursday night…just not the 29th.

I dont think that we can win the game with Jaybo.. I think that if the time comes and we need to throw CPJ would much rather have Josh in. Remember that Jaybo’s interception in the FSU game almost lost us that game. Don’tget me wrong Jaybo will be great and is a good backup. I just don’t know if he is good enough to beat a top level team.

Thanks Dallas Cane. Glad to see that there are still some folks who can send an unoffensive, intelligent message. I agree on the injuries, but hope for a different outcome.

Just a guess, but….

I’m expecting a very poor showing by the fans for the whole “white-out”. I’m betting that about 15% of the fans wear white. On the other hand, it’s not a bad thing:

UGA black-out: Loss FSU black-out: Loss Clemson orange-out: Loss Marshall green-out: Loss

Hey D-Rad, stop copying losing methods.

Miami may be too fast, UKnow. FSU was “too fast” and overpursued the option many times. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that again.

It amazes me how many Tech fans, no matter what board I am reading, are compliaining about wearing white to the game tomorrow. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a White XXL (or bigger if they have it) sweatshirt and put it over your clothes. I think someone posted they were $5-7.

Go out and freaking support your team and quit whining about everything. Truthfully, it is not going to be that cold tomorrow night (Cold would be 30 years ago when Tech played out here in Colorado Springs). Dress in layers and slap that big white sweatshirt over everything!!!!!

Go Jackets!!! THWG!!!

So where does that put you? Let me guess…you are a sanitation engineer…what did Reuben Houston do with his mgt degree? Why he engineered a 94 lb. drug deal and managed to get his azz caught….Tech graduate also….he must have slipped through the vetting process….don’t try to make yourself appear better simply by associating with others…WTF have you accomplished?

Miami doesn’t have the offense to run away from any team. We just have to win the battle of field position. 17 points will win this game

Absolutey correct. Wouldn’t be shocked to see a 17-14 type game. Miami is a 3.5 point dog. So Vegas sees this game as even (GT is giving pts. b/c of the supposed HFA even though they can’t sell out their joint).

If Nesbitt is available to play that answers the question. If it’s kind of questionable then Shaw is capable. We have to remember he played well when he started but not as well when he came in off the bench. Let’s not forget these guys are Sophmore’s and Freshman and they are learing game situations, like what it’s like playing in Chapel Hill on the road where Tech has had a problem for decades. The guess here is Shaw has learned from those two bad experiences and will improve on them. Hopefully Nesbitt is availabe to play at least some. We are going to need 3 to 5 QB’s anyway down the road. Washington redshirted this year will help with depth next year along with the Freshman recruits. Miami though is not the Miami we played the last two years. They are heading to the Miami of old talentwise. Our Division is getting very tough in a fast way.

Regardless of how we finish the season, I just want our fans to come out and support our team tomorrow. I will be there in the south side endzone with my free white t-shirt they are giving out tomorrow! That’s RIGHT FREE!!!! Please come and show some love.

On a further note, some of you DAWGS fans are seriously an embarrassment to the University. You need to show some freaking class and not be such a bunch of redneck thugs like you get the reputation of being. You are better than that, come on…..

nesbitt is better at times but is consistent because this is fairly new to him and still really isnt adjusted to the speed in which he needs to make decisions

nesbitt is better at times but shaw still gives a good chance

i really dont think there is much dropoff unles jaybo gets hurt

guess guys have you been watching the same games as me

the supposedly FAST defenses have been worse against us (FSU, MSU, and CLEM) than the power D’s (UNC, BC, VT)

the speedier defenses are often less disciplined so there is wide open lanes to run for dwyer or the pitch is open

if your gonna attack GT like your UGA fans either get off the blog or watch the same games us REAL TECH FANS have been wwatching this year

WEAR WHITE GO TECH. THWG

Golly, guys. All those 3 star recruits and mid level recruiting classes sure are going to win us some national titles, because CPJ is that awesome. I mean the great O’liar-y never won a national title and only won 10 games once. Bobby Loss won one in the weakest year ever for college football, but never won more than 8 games any other year. And even though, we say this all the time, it’s different now. I can feel it. Never mind that I have been wrong every time when I’ve said it before. I just ignore the facts of how the landscape has changed and how this is the real reason we have had only two win seasons since Dodd’s retirement. And never mind that none of our great coaches since have ever taken made us a top level team consistently. We will take our rightful place among the great college teams, even though we haven’t been there in over 40 years.

By GT will always be mediocre at best
