I don't believe Reggie could have thrown the game if he wanted to. He's just a bad quarterback who has no business starting 4 years at D-1.

If we pulled the game out in the end, he would be running his mouth like the thug he is.

Asking him to throw a game is as tough for his as being asked to win it.

Thanks for handicaping CJ's career, reggie.
 
Did Reggie throw the game on purpose? No, he never has been and never will be a division 1 quarterback. The fault lies with Chan for permitting this to happen. Chan does not understand how important this game is to Tech fans. Sadly, Georgia has it all over Tech and much of the blame lies with Gailey.
 
I don't believe Reggie threw the game on purpose. If he had, it would have been incomplete or intercepted!! ;)
 
It is riduculous to think he would throw the game. No GT player who has never beaten those aholes would do that.

Could you elaborate on this post being mentioned on 790?

That's surprising because I've always assumed that most of the fanbase doesn't go to message boards, and that those who do mostly go to the Hive.

Has Stingtalk reached the big stage?

Now you're trying to be cute by jumping into another pool entirely. Your shortcoming is that UGA had a quarterback controversy in the first half of the season. We had a "quarterback controversy" in the first half of today's game.

Gailey has coached us well enough to go 9-2 before today and seal a trip to Jacksonville, hence why I trust him to put the correct quarterback in which gives us the best chance. Your motivation to replace Reggie is "Well, what if Taylor did better" which is just as logical as "Well, what if Reggie snaps out of it?" with the small exception: We've seen Reggie do it before.

If you'd like to believe that Taylor's performances against UConn and Duke qualify him better to have a better shot at leading the team to victory today than Reggie Ball, then go on doing so: But declaring that it is an absolutely truth and thereby condemning the coaches decision to not do so is absolutely ridiculous.

Jacket, you are arguing with the same people who also thought that Bilbo was Vince Young reincarnated. I'd give it up because they have already decided they know more than the coaches despite not having seen 1 minute of practice.
 
Obviously Dustjacket the post is beyond your capable thought process. I didn't post this to rail Reggie Ball and question his character . I posted it to say that if Reggie Ball's performance was so terrible that many people questioned his motives, that there's no excuse that Gailey didn't yank him prior to the 4th quarter.

And to be quite clear, this subject was breached in other threads on both this board and the Hive by people other than me. I just put it in a thread for all to debate. The blame is on Gailey, not Reggie. Reggie has never played with a full arsenal and Gailey sent him into a gun fight holding a razor blade.

Just remember that coaches get fired and replaced for not being able to put gamers on the field during games. Losing 5 straight to your rival is unacceptable at any school.
Radokovich will not put up with this. Take that to the bank.
If college fans were happy with what the college coaches decided just because they were the coaches, these same coaches would be paid about $thirty two-five.

This practice time excellence reasoning has always been stoopid.
Some people just can't perform when it really matters, and $million dollar coaches are paid to figure this out.
Those $32,500, or $50k high school coaches have to do the same thing.
 
Then it must be beyond mine too.

Based on the post which started this thread, there is absolutely no question in my mind that you were/are disparaging the character of a GT student-athlete with accusations of illegal, unethical behavior. And that disgusts me, no matter what I though of Ball's performance yesterday or what I think about Gailey's refusal to pull him. Shame on you and anyone else who posted this in any public forum anywhere. I hate being a member of the same group as you (Tech fans) sometimes.
 
Pocket, Chan will be given more years because of our probation and post flunkgate lingering effects.

Put me down as another who wondered the same thing per this original post by the way. There was only one other time that I wondered the same thing, against Maryland in Friedgen's first year.
 
Re: you are a dirt bag for suggesting that

That's stupid BOR. You're not making a rationalization you're just trying to stir **** up. Reggie played terribly and should have been benched. But to suggest the threw the game is retarded. If he was trying to throw the game it would have been much more obvious. I mean, he made the same errors he makes all the time. Are you suggesting he's been trying to throw every game he plays?

The Joe Burns thing, no doubt. I will not disagree with anything at this point.
 
Stick, thank you for your prim and proper classy behavior. You stand on a pedestal for all of us. thank you.

NCJacket, I'm not accusing Reggie of ****. But I find it odd as hell that Ive heard or read the possiblity of such an act over 20 some odd times prior to making this post. I also find it odd that on 3rd and goal from the ten, Reggie CLEARLY had 3 different receivers open, one being Calvin standing in the back of the endzone by himself, yet failed to see any of them and ran left then took the sack. So I guess our 4 year starting QB sucks that bad.
My point is if its even fathomable that this could have happened because of such a crappy performance, then there is no way on God's green earth that any coach (other than ours) should be playing Ball.

But you know what. I said it. Kind of like the thousand of other fans who pondered the idea as well briefly. Maybe I'm just a piece of **** for posting it on this board. Do I think he did it? No. I truly don't. But I aint afraid to pose the possibility. I guess I should just accept it that our 4th year starting QB with over 40 starts under his belt has no business playing QB because he is that terrible.
 
"ain't afraid to pose the possibility"?
What the hell does that mean? Any other possibilities you care to air? I mean, maybe Nix is the one who had money on the game...for my money he should have been running the ball on every damn play. Ugag still hasn't stopped Choice.

Or how about Tenuta? Where did that "prevent" come from on the last drive?

Just because something pops into someone's head doesn't make it a possibility.

On the actual football related part of your post I agree. Any coach who won't pull a QB playing that badly is hurting his team. Unless that QB has a history of turning it around. I mean, I wouldn't pull Brady Quinn if he sucked for a half. But Reggie, yeah.
 
The truly interesting thing about BOR's theory, to me, is that the same thing apparently happened to Auburn two weeks before, vs UGA.

Cox's performance (Auburn) and Ball's performance (GT) are likely the two worst performances by any QB in the nation this year.

Just seems fishy, that's all.

you need to take your sorry self back to rah rah sis boom ba go jackets (even if all the wheels are falling off the wagon) HIVE where you belong.
it appears this board allows for legitimate discussion w/o being quite so rule bound.
he asked a legitimate question.
it had crossed my mind, tho i hate to think it's true.
what's worse, that he did throw the game for $$$$, or that as bad as he played, he continued to play ever worse for all 4 quarters?
he didn't just start bad; he started bad and got worse.
and recognizing that doesn't make ME any less of a TRUE TECH FAN than YOU.
at least i have the gumption to question something that's obviously very very wrong, as have others here.
while you smile and roll along with everything was just as great as it could possibly be.......they won, we lost, nobodiy's accountable, move right along.
i'll bet every other player on that field who gave 100% thinks everything was not as it should have been.
you can't blame tashard or calvin.
tashard got 140+ yards.
calvin ran his routes like a man on fire.
then there was reggie.
your great, full of heart and character, leave it all on the field reggie.
everybody here knows what he left on the field last sat.
and i hope you step in it, if that's what it takes for you to see the light.
he either is very nearly one of the worst, most inconsistant QBS to ever set foot in bobby dodd stadium, or there is a legit possibility that he could have thrown the game. (one doesn't need to state proof when stating there is a "possibility" something occurred)
accept it. duh, cheerleader.......

oh, shame shame on us.
please.
and i hate being a member of tech fans who see the program only with blinders on, like a horse.
those who blindly accept whatever they want to think (only and always the best) and are completely out of touch with what CAN REALLY go on in real life situations.
but i'll guarantee you 1 thing; i'm every bit, if not more of, a tech fan than you, and have been for 40 years.
i'm just not naive.
