GT football recruiting so far this year...

You can argue with history all you want but the fact of the matter is the last 5 years have all gone very similarly and it would be foolish to expect any different this year.

The UGAg outcome is anything but unpredictable by the way.

Knox, the last three UGA games (especially the last 2) have all been a toss-up at the end. So, lemme ax ya: If you flip a coin and it turns up tails three times in a row what are the odds it will turn up heads the next time? Yup - still exactly 50-50.

I would argue that last season was NOT at all similar to the previous 4, but of course you won't compare 9 wins to 7, you want to joyously point to 6 losses.

Furthermore, ridicule it if you will, but we were literally 3 plays away from having a 12 win season. No, moral victories don't count and none of those were moral victories, they were losses, but even so you can't say that last season was the same as the previous 4. And that's not pointing out the obvious differences in post season play this past year.

You say it would be foolish to expect it to go any differently this year and I say that just your wish.



It beats the hell out of me why you and your BO buddies just HATE to see anyone show a little optimism about the progam and why it's necessary to ridicule them for doing so. And I wonder why it's called "the good fight"?

pssst....hate to tell you this but a loss is a loss is a LOSS. Pitiful that some take pride in close losses...or think less of a loss just because it was only by a few points.

Uh, read again - your quote of my post very conveniently omitted the part where I specifically said a loss is a loss.

What's really pitiful is you losers refusing to acknowledge that last year was a step forward and that there are real reasons for optimism this coming year.
 
good point geetee, also, we were 2 or 3 plays away from losing to maryland and unc.

Agreed, but that doesn't change my contention that this past season was NOT the same as the preceeding 3 or 4 seasons.
 
BO buddies? :laugh:

Given they banned me a long time ago I'd say I don't have any BO buddies.
 
I would argue that the last three UGAy games have not been tossups. Richt knew our strengths and weaknesses and knew that we were inevitably going to make a mistake. So he played it close to the vest.

Gailey has been outclassed every single time we've played the mutts.

You can talk up last year all you want and boast about the 9 wins, but at the end of the year we were not in the top 25, we didn't beat Georgia, and we didn't win the ACC. That is in no way, shape, or form a successful season.
 
knoxjacket,

Can you give it up already? Gailey will be the coach this year. Our talent level is up. We have an exciting new qb and return most of the skilled players from an ACC division champion. What are you hoping to accomplish by spouting your pessimism before the season even starts? If, at the end of the season, the team hasn't lived up to our expectations, then we can debate what happened and should happen with the facts of the past season in hand. At this point, you made your opinion known ad nauseum at the end of last season. It's time to move on.

Shut up already.

See? There you go again, demeaning anything Gailey has done.

Gailey has LOST to Richt every time, but he has not been outclassed. How can you say that, when the games have been a tossup the past three years despite UGa's top 5 recruiting classes and GT's top 60? That appears to be some pretty good coaching by one or poor coaching by the other. Either way, "outclassed" is wrong.

Some want it both ways.. Ugag hasn't had top 5 classes every year. Plus, some here like to boast that our rankings were higher than Ugag's last year. So, let's not play both sides of the recruiting fence..downplay rankings when we finish high and boast about rankings when we finish low...just to build up Gailey.

Don't forget either we had last year the best player in the country with CJ and perhaps, the best player we may ever see at GT. Yet, we still lost to the mutts.

Did you even read what I posted? Those games were not tossups, no matter how many times you post that.
 
So what are you trying to accomplish other than proving you're an ass?

express an opinion other than Gailey is the best coach on the planet, GT will win a NC, or recruiting is the best ever and you get called names like mutt or ass. :rolleyes:

Allright, I'll give you that the game 3 years ago wasn't really a tossup, even though we did have an opportunity to win at the end.

But the last two were tossups no matter how much you deny it.

OK, so Uga's classes were only top 10. None of Gailey's top 10 recruiting class has even put on a gameday uniform, so they couldn't affect the preceeding year's results. And even you can't fault Gailey's recruiting last year.

So who's playing both sides of the fence? You indict Gailey because of "poor" recruiting, then indict him for losing games because of "poor" coaching. You can't have it both ways- either Gailey has recruited well over the years (not just last year) or he's done a good job coaching as evidenced by winning 9 games and playing to a tossup 3 (or 2, whatever) with a team that has had 100 consecutive years of top 10 ranked recruiting classes.

And yes, we did lose to Uga with the best WR in the country...but we won 9 games despite having the worst QB in the country. (Actually he wasn't the worst in the country, unless you count the last 3 games only)

ok..just earlier IN THIS VERY THREAD there are comments about how we finished ahead of Ugag in recruiting last year (per Scout, Ugag finished at 17). Point is that you say Ugag has top 5 finishes every which they do not...and you want to somehow use that excuse as a barometer to say look how good Gailey is doing with coaching bc we don't recruit well and they have top classes every year. This very thread proves that comment wrong. So, you're playing both sides of the fence. Make excuses for Gailey when we lose to Ugag because of recruiting and make claimes about how we've arrived by recruiting so well, winning the Coastal AND STILL lose to Ugag when we even outrecruit them. :rolleyes:

YOU are sitting on both sides of the fence with your ignorant statements. Gailey's ONLY decently ranked recruiting class HASN'T PLAYED A DOWN! So we have NEVER lost to Georgia when we've out recruited them.

Read this from CFN.com:

[SIZE=-1]my choice for the five best offensive lines going into the year are: 1) Oklahoma, 2) USC, 3) Georgia Tech, 4) Michigan, 5) Texas A&M. My five defensive lines are: 1) LSU, 2) Miami, 3) USC, 4) Georgia Tech, 5) Iowa

[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]So YOU make the decision - Can Gailey evaluate and recruit good talent? Or can he coach? Or is it both, because the answer damn sure isn't that he can do neither.

BTW, try to understand thatt not a single ONE of Gailey's last and only top 10 recuiting class will be starting either on the oline or dline.

Are you going to sprout a pair and answer the question in the other thread?
 
Ugag has there worst year in a while last year...we have our best (with CJ) and still lose. GT per scout outrecruited Ugag last year...far from what you were bantering about before I called you on it saying they have top 5 classes every year. Then, you changed it top 10...now, I guess its top 20.

..and Gailey still hasn't won against Richt.

Are you stupid? The ONLY year GT has out recruited Georgia was this past year -and that has NO effect whatsoever on the outcome of the game.

I was simply engaging in some hyperbole calling UGa's classes top 5 every year, however it's indesputable that, except for last year, UGa's classes were very very highly ranked and GT's classes were very low ranked.


And yes we lost the freakin' game last year as you so joyously point out every post. I admit it, I despise it, yet firing Gailey at this point would be the stupidest action ever taken by a school.

What's your point?
