Not acceptable to lose 4 out of 5 to Duke

I think lil Andrew is eating his words now making fun of us STers who want to dump CPJ.

I don't always agree with Andrew but I do like him as a person. GT needs to fix the idea of football before getting interested in firing/hiring a football coach.
 
Has Adidas made the shirt yet that says,

“Georgia Tech Football: Proof that there is no God” ?
 
The feed I had in Dallas had no sound so no idea what the announcers were saying. It sure looked like Duke came out with more attitude and nastiness.

That Vic Alexander fight was brewing all game to that point. Duke was hitting through the whistle and once they had our ball carriers down, they were giving a little extra business to them.

It seemed like the fight woke us up a little and we started to show more toughness, but it shouldn't take a fight to get a team motivated for their homecoming game.
 
Where’s beej to tell us that 3 straight fumbles was due to voodoo sorcery.

It appeared that Duke was playing football and we wanted no part of that brutal activity.

It didn't look like we gave up, we just needed to hold on to the ööööing ball. The game was even and the defense was playing well. It's hard to win when you give the ball up and set up a short field each time.

I agree here. Seems like a bunch of whining I heard from my buddies when they had trouble in class.

Go ahead and rationalize all of our losses with excuses if it makes you feel better.

It's not rationalizing at all. The turnovers are unacceptable and it's a common theme for our team, so that's on the coach.The game was dead even until we gave up the ball 3 straight times with a short field and we fought to get another score, we didn't just give up, at least not the players. Playcalling and time management were terrible though, and that's also on the coach.
 
The team didn’t quit. They played hard throughout. Duke just out coached CPJ again. The 3 turnovers were a killer, but two of those were on the O being sloppy, which is an ongoing issue.

Our O didn’t have a good drive all day.

We have looked putrid on offense in 3 games. Duke and Pitt shut the o down until getting up by 3 tds. Then they switched to letting us burn the clock on ourselves. Neither of those teams are more talented than us. TM gets pressured and then tries to do too much himself. Then the o collapses.

No offense intended but I'm not sure you know what rationalizing actually is because what you just did there was rationalize the loss.
 
I think we need saben. Surely things would be great with a coach who wouldn't come here because of the school.

Never said we gave up. Duke was hitting harder the whole game. We are not as physical, not as physically talented (let that sink in) as Duke, and we are certainly not as well coached or prepared. And how could we be? Duke has more majors and we have blue pants. Hey, Paul, Todd Stansbury on line one.

I'm just pointing out the team didn't quit, not excusing a loss. I'm not happy about it and we shouldn't be losing to Duke like we do.
 
Why don’t we hire Ed Orgeron? You know he’s just dying to come coach at Tech.
