Sources say CPJ could step aside after this season?

I'm not trying to disparage a skill I certainly don't have, and that may just be a really bad recording – don't evaluate any artistic enterprise via YouTube – but she's got some work to do to make it to the big leagues, IMHO. She's still young.

She sings at church whenever she's in town, and my wife, a music major, says the same: extremely talented, has room to improve, but will do exactly that and probably be successful. Paul's wife is active with the children's music ministry. Not long ago, I realized that technically I'm CPJ's Sunday school teacher. He's on my class roll which I inherited from a Tech alum/fanatic who is a good friend. CPJ doesn't attend the class but does come to worship services regularly.

When CPJ spoke in the senior adult Sunday school department, my aging dad happened to be there that week, sitting on the front row, there to guest teach one of the classes in that department. He had no idea CPJ would be there that day. My Dad grew up a rabid Tech fan as a boy, seeing all the games from the West stands with his dad in the forties. We still have all the game programs. But Dad disliked math and science, he says (though he was a good student), and attended UGA.

Since then he has HATED GT as all in his generation of Bulldogs do. Was there for every game of the eight-loss drought in the fifties. So on this day he was sitting about three feet from Johnson, I'm back on the back row watching my dad just sit there not enjoying himself at all. I guess you had to be there but I was amused. Afterward I said, "He did a pretty good job, didn't he?" (Because he did, actually.) Dad looked really cornered and said, "Yes. He did." Johnson doesn't have that angry persona at church--very approachable, couldn't be nicer. My theory is, head coaching in the South you're expected to be caustic, so you grow into the role.

What church do you go to? I thought he attended 2dP?

It's telling that your biggest buddy here is an illiterate Southern fan who could never qualify to step foot in a Tech classroom.

To the Ignore list!

Don't get so mad. Whenyousaybud's a very nice guy in person. I'm sure you are too. You should come to the tailgate and meet everyone. We are all Tech fans after all, we need to stop hating on each other and focus our hatred on those pieces of shit 67 miles to the East.

Dude, this was something from ESPN, you know the largest sports network in the world... so go **** a duck if you think it's not a topic of discussion here! Posting something from ESPN is not just starting negative rumor thread. Maybe you are just too ****ing sensitive?

Piss off. You cry and moan and cry and moan some more in EVERY single game thread. Other team gets a first down and you're predicting 2-10.

It was a weak article even by ESPN's (low) standards. They threw in some "speculation" at the end of an article that was "speculating" about who gets fired if their team stinks this season. It only requires a new topic from you so you can post something and feel good about miserable outcomes. If GT stinks this season like '15 or a bad season like '17, than CPJ will deservedly be on the super hot seat or gone.

It would have to be a pretty specific 6-6 season to avoid the hot seat. Like being 3-6 going into the Miami game, subbing out QBs and watching the new guy crush the last three games, so we're all looking forward to next season. But any season where we lose 6 games is going to have to involve too many familiar notes. Either the offense is going to have to sputter or the defense is going to have to fall to the bottom of the league. Then there'd be questions about why we didn't make the changes that produced success earlier in the season. Even then, I can't find 6 opponents on the schedule I wouldn't mind losing to. Hell, I can't even find 2.

Personally, I really feel like even an 8 win season will be disappointing, given our OOC. BGSU is a free win, and we *should* destroy USF, so we're 3-0 already, in my mind. Finding 5 people to beat out of the remaining 9 is not a big accomplishment, because that pretty much means you lost to the "big 4" again. Anybody can do that. This new defense needs to click and this team needs to make waves in our conference schedule, and we need to beat Georgia. I'm willing to excuse one conference WTF loss and a Clemson loss, but we need to beat VT and Miami and play for the conference, and I'll be happy. Anything short of that and we're leaving stuff we can absolutely accomplish on the table.

We had Miami's ass last year and we actually beat VT, and we weren't that good overall. We can do all this stuff, and it's time.

I agree on this assesment, we either start winning more games or become Vandy

RainbowIsA-Wreck!

The people that you say are my friends would really be considered acquaintances. We only know each other impersonally through communications on this board. This is more proof that you are the illiterate buffoon on this board lacking a grasp of proper terminology to carry on a proper conversation.

Now if you want to call others "illiterate", on this board, please dot your "I's" and cross your "t's" or many should call you out on it. From what I've seen neither of us were English majors. I'm very sure that you can spell better than I, but your vocabulary skills are simplistic along with your logic & I would think that 6 out of 10, 60% of this board would agree.

Cool. I was married in that church. The sanctuary carpet made my GT eyes bleed...

Ha! Well, it's more of a wine color than red, I think. And please know there is no more Georgia Tech church anywhere than SPdL. Lots of alums and big boosters have attended it traditionally. Tech flags on cars year round, at least a few. Back in the day, lots of Tech students from BSU came to Tech. A lot of them were my closest friends. Clint Castleberry's namesake nephew was in one of my classes--he died too young also.

Oh yeah I know several GT fans in that church. I used to use the FLC as I live around the corner. But a lot of my connections left several years ago. Small world anyhow.
 
I don't know why you guys are taking USF so lightly. Saw a replay of the UCF-USF game last year and UCF was lucky to win that shootout. And they were the national champs last year.

GEETEELEE -
Can both Dis-Content & Rainbow look up these stats and verify them for the board. I think we would all feel better if they were both on this states case.
