So in looking at our remaining schedule, I came to the grim realization that unless this is the best season in recent Tech history (which it very well could be!), each remaining game will lead to either great things or immense disappointment.
VT
Win: Stick it to the Chokies and prove that they don't deserve their high ranking, get another awesome home win with a rocking atmosphere
Loss: Another year of letting the Coastal Division become the VT division, and having to put up with their crap for the rest of the year.
Duke
Win: Assuming a VT loss next week, GT clinches the ACC
Loss: ... NO.
UGA
Win: First win at home since '99, and all the other awesomeness associated with beating Georgia
Loss: Another year of crap, another year without a home win, and all the other depravity associated with losing to Georgia
ACC-CG
Win: Assuming Tech beats Duke and VT, sticking it to the NCAA while officially declaring Clemson as Georgia Tech's bitch
Loss: Get to the game with high hopes only to come up short, Clemson gets revenge and starts beating their chests for another year.
Orange Bowl
Win: Tops off a great season, proves to the retarts that the offense works even in bowl season, and gives the ACC some respect for actually winning the OB.
Loss: Another year of people saying the offense doesn't work and that GT can't perform on the big stage, and that even the best of the ACC can't beat a "top program."
So here we are, faced with two extremes of the spectrum where each game carries great significance with a win, but also great disappointment with a loss.
I would have made it a poll with a much darker, evil tone to make you have to choose which game you'd rather lose, but I'm going to go against my pessimistic tendencies here and say that the intent of this post is to show the possibility of awesome things in store for this team while simultaneously preparing the fans who have already doused themselves in gasoline and are waiting for one more loss to do everyone a favor and just do it. A loss anywhere from here on out is going to lead to some doomsday prophecies, but in order to avoid it this team must go 12-2, and that's not fair to expect the team to accomplish that in order for the season to be considered a good one.
Perfect example of "prepare for the worst, but hope for the best," so what say you? Is there a best worse-case scenario that would play out well for GT?
