Tech is a 4.5 opening favorite

[BigDanT]

Against Virginia. First time we’ve been a favorite in how long? Who has watched them and what do they do well?

 

[Skydog]

I hope we beat their ass into wine and cheese oblivion..

Take the under. 2 lowest scoring teams in the conference.

 

[GTCrew4b]

I think we’ll take ‘em. Not impressed with Elliot so far. Defense allows 10. We score 20+

Long night for Cavman incoming. He's still a cool chap ;)

Gotta play a clean game. UVA essentially gave the Duke game away. All the Coastal teams are pretty even after PITT in my mind.

I agree. Coastal is trash this year. We are favored against UVA because they suck.

Virginia usually gives us trouble. Glad it’s at home. I remember Godsey having a big night against them, 2000 iirc. Would love to see a performance like that one.

Now act and play like the favorite

 

[Tampa Jacket]

We’ve got momentum baby. But our players don’t need to be looking at that spread. They just need to play.

Don't forget to wash down the pulverizing with some Zima.

If you want to be a good team, you have to win as the favorite. We're still a long ways to go from good, but hopefully we're good enough to get it done on Thursday.

Now act and play like the favorite

On a Thursday night, when the stage is ours.

…well, with exception of Game 2 of the ALCS.

…and the Saints/Cardinals

…and Troy/South Alabama

F, never mind.

I'm not sure how I feel about being called favorites. Just saying.. I rather have a team, with a chip on their shoulder. With that said. From what I have seen, UVA is probably the worst team, we will play all year (arguable with VT). We should win. If we don't give the game away, there is no reason why we don't win by 14.

This situation literally scares the hell out of me. We've been here so many times before.

Not with this group. Not in 4 years.

You should feel good about it, because the only way to never be called a favorite is to lose all the time. We did that the last three years and it felt pretty bad.

CBK brought this up at one of his recent press conferences. Says everyone wants to be the underdog but if you want to be good you have to learn to win with expectations.

This game really has a chance to change the season. Will 45,000 show up? Can we jump on them early like we did Miami CPJ’s first year? Kicking UVA’s butt with a big crowd going bunkers would be great. Somebody needs to tell our professors to give the students a break and encourage them to show up and be loud.

No way in hell 45k show up for Thursday when we only had 32k for Homecoming. We’ll be lucky to crack 30k.
