Outside of UCF I think this is a great schedule! Clemson, Ole Miss, and Miami at home. Only change I would make is more home games last in the year and a bye before the mutts

One game at MBS which is cool and a Thursday night game which is cool.

Don't see the problem.

I guess if you live within a short drive of town, it’s ok. If you’re a flight away, like me, it sucks. Labor Day night game so gotta fly back to work at 0 dark thirty Tuesday morning after an 11pm finish, 3 days later I’m heading the other way for Western! Be there with the other 24,999 fans for a noon kickoff. Back the next weekend for Ol’ Piss, the first real on campus game of season & 1 of only 3 at home. Call me crazy but I like weekends at Bobby Dodd. I do catch a break the next weekend as I’m 45 mins from the bouncy house. Then we got the big Dook showdown 2 weeks later- Homecoming (or is it da U in November when it’s freezing?) Then a Thursday game where I’ll probably end up repeating the Monday game routine. This is the next to last home game of season. Finish up 3 weeks later with da U. Maybe if we show some signs of life I make a side trip over to Kelly Campbell stadium.

Crap I say, but glad some fans like you like it. I hope we’re not playing in front of half empty stadiums.

Most teams have 7 homes games on Saturdays every year. We have 4. However there are 6 home games. Season tickets prices won’t be down but the home games on Saturday will almost be cut in half. For a team that has won 9 games in three years selling season tickets will be a problem.

My guess would be…
WCU - 38k
Ole Miss - 55k
Duke - 35k
UVA - 45k
Miami - 37k

So ~200k. I think I’d go lower if the schedule wasn’t back loaded with road games. So there will still be a modicum of hope remaining in the front half.

That’s very optimistic. Especially if you are tallying attendance vs tickets sold. Did we even have 30k show up for a game last year? The most we sold was 36K.

Ole miss should be a good crowd though. Great game to have on the schedule.

9/5 (Monday) Clemp
9/10 Western
9/17 Ol’ Piss
9/24 @ UCF

11/5 @ other Tech
11/12 da U
11/19 @ UNCheat

11/27 Maybe a great day for GT football.

What a crap schedule.

Do not like FSU and VT back to back

You might be right. But we start the season with 5 home games and two road games. Could be something like 2-4 or 3-3 heading into the Uva game and Thursday night might add some draw. And maybe we still have something to mathematically play for at that point. Also (hopefully) will regain a few people who were scared off by covid/regulations last year.

Bigger problem we’re gonna have is if we open with a blowout, then go 1-4 or God forbid 1-5.

I think Clemp’s problems run deeper than the QB and I’m glad we got them first. Later in the season and they’ll be harder to beat. Roll back the clock 4 years and we’re probably 8-5 against this schedule, maybe 9-4. Hate to say it but thing we’re 3-9 again. We’ll shock somebody and beat Dook, Western.
 
Going to be hard to retain Coach Collins after another long losing season!

Looks like the possibility of a 5-7 season, with possible wins over Clemson, Western C, Duke, Virginia, and VT

With the trajectory we had 4 years ago, I would guess we would be 0-12 against this schedule.

My reasoning is those are 2 of the worst road places to play let alone back to back I think those games will either give collins another year or put the final nail in the coffin
 
No excuses this year. We have a schedule full of new coaches and/or new QBs. We have a 3rd year starting QB returning and a defense that can’t be any worse. Bowl game or absolute bust and we should be competitive in every game.
 
This schedule absolutely suxs! 4 Saturday home @BDS! Are you kidding me? And one is Western Carolina. Ole Miss is our marque game and they are absolutely going to boat race us. Talk about a miserable tailgating season. How the hell do you sell a season ticket package with a schedule like this? The product on the field is poor and now the schedule blows too. I can't find more than 3 wins next fall and that is assuming we beat Puke at home which is 50/50. I may have reached the end of my 35 year season ticket holder career. With the portal, NIL, and $10 million/year coaches salary benchmark, College Football as we knew it, is dead. This schedule makes it nearly unbearable. Collins can't survive this year and then we start all over again with a new coach and 3 more years of rebuilding. This will be an entire lost decade of Tech football. It is hard to comprehend how far we have fallen. I am primarily an optimist but I can see no plausible scenario where GT Football will contend for an ACC Championship, a major bowl birth, much less a playoff spot in the next 10 years. In fact, getting to .500 seems an improbable feat at this point. How does one justify the continued emotional, time, and financial investment in this? Pure love for all things Georgia Tech has its limits and my love for college football is waning as the sport continues its rapid transformation into the NFL minor league. As an alumnus, booster, season ticket holder, and rabid fan who has spent thousands of hours following the Jackets for nearly 40 years, I feel like a "boat a drift" in a terrible storm praying for the Coast Guard to come save me and I don't even have a radio. Damn this suxs!
 
The truth is we have absolutely no idea who in this schedule is going to be good and who is going to suck. A lot of new coaches, a lot of super seniors finally moving on (I’m looking at you Pitt!!), and just a lot of unknowns in college football altogether (which is one of the reasons I prefer college over NFL).
