I was reading one of the latest articles on SI when I cam across this...

Second-half flop team


Filice: Georgia Tech. The Paul Johnson era is off to a 5-1 start, but the Yellow Jackets' back-loaded schedule will engender a second-half swoon.

It's a fair point - our schedule is back-loaded and we're still running an offense with shoddy play from the OL and (for the most part) personnel that was recruited for an entirely different offense. Our defense should keep us in most games but we'll be facing several offenses in the last few weeks that are much better in the passing game than anything we've seen in the first half of the season. If we're not getting consistent pressure from the front 4 (day off, refs looking the other way on OL holding, whatever) we could be exposed down the field.

Hopefully, we get out of Clemson with a W tomorrow and then we can worry about UVA after that.

As my old economy professor once said: "Those that peer into the Crystal Ball, Eat Glass."

My econ prof posed a question to the class once.

"When an aspect of a problem does not lend itself to analysis [e.g., when you don't know what the heck you are talking about] what should you do?"

I raise my hand and was called upon to answer.

I answered: "He should assume it away."

I did not get an "A" in the class.

The point being that if you don't understand what makes Georgia Tech tick, then just assume the problem away and take the safe route by predicting Tech's demise.

Apparently, being dead wrong about the first half of the season wasn't good enough so Mr./Ms. Fellatio has decided that being decisively wrong is better than being indecisive.

Wrong again, doofus.

Sports Illustrated is the same publication that predicted we would go 3-9 this season being ranked 80th (the last ranked team in the ACC). Take what they have to say with a grain of salt.

Preceded, of course, by a shot of agave squeezins.

I also noticed that no one had Ugag in a BCS bowl so hopefully they will be correct on something.

They also picked the Falcons to go 2-14.
