He thinks we will be pretty bad this year especially on offense. He also thinks there is a good chance we are much better in November than in September.

We have generally been better in November than in September.
 
My worry about this team is not actually any kind of skill thing. I think our 1 deep is going to play some stellar football. Problem is I think we're mostly only 1 deep, primarily along the lines. If our transfers get waivers we could have a reasonable expectation of a bowl game, but against the better half of our schedule, we are going to wear down. Some young guys are going to have to really discover themselves if we want more. Hopefully the November momentum and 5 star developmental programming is the real deal.

I am sending TK all my positive energy. He's got his work cut out for him.

Did you have the overpowering feeling that you were "all in"?

I was in the upper north looking down. Grounds crew did a bang up job with some fountains, made a little island around the 35 yard line, people were fishing, kayaking, we had some ducks. It was like hey, this is nice.
 
I liked what he said about finding an identity. We knew our identity with CPJ at the helm. I'm curious to see what our identity will be with CGC.

The person who wrote that article loved PJ’s offense. If you can’t tell by reading that article, then you are blind. PJ also had a lot of flaws. If you can’t see that then you are blind. The article was well-written and was about GT. If you don’t love GT, then find another team. If you do love GT, then be excited about the future and hope CGC can have as much and hopefully more success than PJ.

I love cgc, I'm just confused why the media wants to go backwards in time and taint the past 10 years. It is possible Collins will win less games this season than cpj ever did.

The issue you're having is that with the shoe on the other foot, you'd interpret the sentence you just wrote to mean the author hates CGC despite professed admiration.

Maybe the best thing here is to ask mods to set up a filter for you to hide threads that contain your trigger words: "CPJ", "option", "defense" or "7".
 
• Wide receiver: As you would also expect, the transition here could take a while. Senior Jalen Camp is the only returnee with more than three catches last year. Johnson always signed big receivers, and you figure they’ll probably block pretty well. But the change will be dramatic. Collins signed four incoming freshmen; they’ll have every chance to earn playing time.

Ummm, ever heard of Marquez Ezzard?

The only shoe I have on is for the team, not a stupid coach.
 
I thought it was a well written article. I think we will win more than he has predicted (and to be fair, he said that his algorithm "isn't designed to account for wholescale scheme changes" or stte).

With regard to any perceived slight to CPJ, I think that CPJ's tenure will ultimately be and should be remembered as a great time in GT's historic timeline. If he could have won one or two more Georgie games (like the OT game with Vad and Smelter, or the craptastic game right before Richt's firing), then he may have had a statue put up for him. I place him right behind Ross, and ahead of O'Leary on my heirarchy. That said, our attendance numbers have been falling, the gulf between our performance and Clemson's and Georgie's has widened, and it seemed to me that the program needed an injection of... juice? Was I sad when CPJ retired? Absolutely. Am I excited to see what the next regime can do? Absolutely. Am I interested in what we can be if CGC can string together a couple of 2007-esque recruiting classes? You ööööing bet. In conclusion, any attempt to summarize 10 years of our football history that doesn't basically say "it's complicated" isn't worth a damn, and will offend someone. That shouldn't impair Tech fans from rallying around our new coach. Also, people around here probably are just easily offended because we finished our season by getting bootyblasted by Minneööööingsota.

The game of college football today is unlike anything we have seen in the history of intercollegiate sports. It is appropriate that we have a coach and coaching staff that is fundamentally different than any we have had in the history of Georgia Tech football. THWG !

Were they standing up and fishing or were they fishing from the West Stands?

Asking for a friend.

Tech got the upgrade it needed. I'm glad to see CPJ gone. I was always worried about getting injuries before our yearly SEC Championship games from borderline legal blocking schemes.

Injuries? Like to DeAndre Smelter? That kind of injury, douche canoe?

Most of the lower bowl had been turfed over and where the lower sections would have been was under water. The people I saw fishing were standing on the banks in the West stands where the noon game shade is.
