Reasons Tech Could Surprise Clemson

This is the most uninspiring week I’ve had as a Tech fan. It’s like being an FCS team before the season opener again Alabama. I just hope we don’t get too embarrassed and no one gets injured.

Your comparison is valid. Clempsen might be able to beat Alabama. We might struggle with an FCS team.

1- We seem to play better when we are big underdogs. Remember the FSU blocked field goal game?

2- This is a big game for us, but probably just a "show up" game for Clemson.

3- We have played in front of more empty seats this year than any other team I can name. The crowd Saturday will be the biggest our team has seen all season, and the smallest Clemson has seen. This should get Tech charged up.

4- Clemson has a lot of talent, but they have under-performed this season. Texas A&M had a TD called back in the fourth quarter, and then scored one at the end of the game. Clemson had to stop a 2-point conversion to avoid OT at College Station.

5- If we can keep it close, Clemson might feel a lot of pressure. As much as we need a win, they are under more pressure not to lose. One loss against an unranked team could keep them out of the playoffs.

6- If you take away half our turnovers and one of the kickoff returns for TDs we gave up, we'd probably be 3 - 0 and ranked, in spite of all our bad execution.

We're 16.5 point underdogs based on how we've played. But, we could play better Saturday. Our team and coaches have made a lot of mistakes this year. But, if they've learned from them, we could stay in this game.

I think you make some valid points, particularly this one

Anyhow, my broader thought: I'm disappointed how the board is reacting to someone trying to be positive about the team in game four of the season. It's OK to still have hope, guys.

We could always try spiking the gatorade. Kind of lo tech but you never know. Mebbe send hookers over to their hotel? Of course it'd be kind of late notice to scare up some ladies in the ATL. :lol2:

Save all that for UGA, and double it.
 
Dear Heaven,

Why can we not have a goal of being the "surprisee" instead of the "surpriser" (sp?)
