Jack Crowe on GT and Jon Dwyer

[Wreck02]

"I think you’d have to go back to (Earl) Campbell at Texas, to where you had such a great athlete running in such a similar situation because it was easy to see the way [Dwyer] finished the year last year. He was the next All-ACC right behind Tashard Choice. He was the next guy that was going to be the All-ACC runningback."

Watch the video if you can... The questions and response from Coach Crowe regarding JD and CPJ's offense is GREAT! He has tons of respect for CPJ and what GT will bring to the field Thursday night.

Excellent find. Thanks Wreck02.

I always knew Dwyer would be good...but he is getting really hyped the closer we get to kickoff. Like almost up there with Dontknowshon.

He's just blowing smoke up our asses. That way if they lose he can say "we lost to a GREAT team" and if they win, it makes the victory seem even more incredible...

Did he just say Earl Campbell? The Tyler Rose? What.the.fuuuuudge.

Ah, I wouldn't go that far. I think he is sincere in his respect for Paul Johnson and our players. I do think a lot of what he said can be categorized as coach-speak but I don't think his FULL intention was just to build us up. He KNOWS Tech is coming out there with talent better than he has... even with his 4 transfers (or however many there are).

they are not winning, we are not losing

 

[GTMensLax&SoccerD1Soon!]

don't be arrogant... nobody thought mich would lose to app st either... be confident and respect your opponent at the same time

or what?

j/k There is no harm in fans being overconfident or talking trash. It's what the team thinks that matters.
