Here are some highlights:
"I don't think the ACC has seen a passing attack like the ones in the Mountain West," said LaTendresse, a Northern California native with 100 friends and relatives in the stands. "We came out with a chip on our shoulders. That was an ACC team which said they didn't belong here. We took it personally that they don't respect us."
"They quit on themselves," said LaTendresse, the game's offensive MVP. "Slowly but surely, they gave up. That first quarter, they had a lot of fight, and they were talking. But slowly their talk diminished, and their heads went down. That's what you have to do: make them quit."
Here is one that just sticks in my craw:
"They didn't do anything fancy or unusual that we haven't worked on, but when you play them, you have to get ready for a ton of stuff," Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey said. "When you haven't spent a ton of time on something, sometimes they get you, and they got us good."
I believe you had a month to get ready for this game Mr. Gailey. It was very clear that YOU and the players didn't want to be there.
Oh, here are some more:
"We had so many guys making plays today, it was unbelievable," Whittingham said. "(Georgia Tech) was a quality football team, and not only did we beat them, we dominated them."
"You could just tell they didn't want to be here," Weddle said. "When we hung around them (earlier in the week), you just couldn't see the fire that we had in our eyes."
"Their whole offense didn't allow us to get into a rhythm," Georgia Tech safety Chris Reis said. "We didn't come out to play, we came out flat, we didn't catch back up. ... It isn't embarrassing as much as it is disappointing."
I'm sorry Chris but yes, it IS embarrassing.
After the 5 year extension I thought I would just suck it up and accept it but after today I cannot.
Gailey has got to go. If this game didn't prove to you that this man did not have his team ready to play then you aren't very bright. And this, "We haven't spent a lot of time..." crap ain't gonna fly! I'm tired of the excuses. Sir, you need to get off your @$$ and start leading/coaching this football team. Quit making excuses and do your job. That was about the worst motivating/coaching job I have witnessed in a long time. You did not have this team prepared and you embarrassed GT on national TV in a mediocre bowl game with a crappy woman announcer. Hell, when I saw who was announcing the game I knew right then that ESPN didn't give a damn about the game.
Crappy game + crappy announcers + crappy coaching + crappy effort by the players = 1 embarrassing day for GT and their supporters!
It's time for this $#!% to stop!
