And I mean childish in the sense that I normally only ever expect to hear a child attending a game scream things such as "Reggie sucks!" "You lost this game!"
We lost to Georgia. Yeah, that hurts worse than any other loss. Yes, it puts a bitter flavor on a trip to Jacksonville. It sucks. It sucks worse than most things that can go wrong.
I put alot of emotion into this game all year, so when we lose it hurts more than any other game multiplied by a million.
Blaming a player like some of you are, and cheering for his departure, when all he's done is put us in position to win an ACC Championship and go to a major bowl whether we win or lose - is the lowest form of fan stupidity. You're not dedicated enough that you feel entitled to blame him, you're just selfish idiots that want to throw blame and shame on whoever makes you feel better to bash. Someone called Reggie or James or both a "coward" earlier because of their play. Grow up or put on another set of colors next week, because that sort of ignorant nonsense shouldn't come from the mouths of even the most insatiable Tech fans.
You know what my emotion is? I feel bad that Reggie couldn't get a win in all four starts against Georgia. Before I'd ever spit on his name and blame him like some of you, I'd pat him on the back, say "Thanks for the effort, sorry for the shortcoming" and tell him to go get them next week in Jacksonville.
That is what makes sense. When someone in the White and Gold goes out and tries to bring us a victory but comes up short, you should encourage them - if they have problems or mistakes, fine, discuss them and how they might be corrected in a reasonable manner. But putting him down and grinning at his departure is far more of a black eye on this Institute's athletic program than six losses to our most hated rival could ever be.
And those of you jumping back in to claim that Chan Gailey should go - with about a week before we play in the ACC Championship game - are guilty of nothing more than stupidity.
I support Reggie Ball. I hope he comes out next week and shreds whoever we're playing. I'm damn proud to have him at our school because he has more heart than 90% of this forum combined and it has taken us far this season.
Go Jackets and To Hell With Georgia.
