What excuses do the CPJ lovers make now?

You dumb dumb. Just because he missed part of the game doesn’t mean he can’t comment on the öööö show that was on the field today.

attempting to squelch criticism is lame AF. As if me not watching somehow makes this not so bad? It's just more bizarre defense of CPJ.

kinda stupid to think I'm not allowed to point out our dismal KO Return Team coverage just because I had other commitments in the 1st half.

You know you can watch replays of plays, right? Please let me know how my criticism of our shitty ST coach is unfounded. Were those 2 KO Return TDs just "bad luck"? Or horrific missed assignments and not closing lanes, etc. I.E. Special Teams 101 stuff?

you can try to squelch criticism all you want - you've got a big task in front of you after yesterday's CPJ Nightmare.

The D did enough to win. The O did enough to win. Take away 14 pts and we win 38-35.

So now the O did enough to win? You were criticizing the O earlier.

you're crazy if you think all those guys wanted to play for tech. tech was probably their only big school offer. Tech is competing with G5 and FCS schools for recruits. If a kid has a offer from Bama, UGA, Clemson, FSU, Miami, USC or any other real team then they will pick them over Tech.

TaQuon Marhall's offers=

Just to pick a few players.
When the only other schools going after players you are recruiting are the likes of Georgia State, Arkansas State, and other small schools, you wont be successful in big boy football. Why? Because kids dont want to play in this ööööing offense.

Nope. It ain’t the offense; we don’t pay ‘em enough.

Probably going to.

I'm not a huge fan of getting kicked in the nuts over and over again.

I have much better things to do than to continue to watch this öööö show.

Ball is in your court TStan. Hope your improvements will impress the next head coach

I really enjoy you getting kicked in the nuts over and over again.

WTF are we talking about pulling Oliver? That had nothing to do with why we lost this game.

I was actually calling for him to give Oliver a break. He was just basically running QB run left and right over and over again. Oliver was getting tired and banged up. That's why it was 3rd and 11. But we could have put Oliver back in when we crossed midfield. Oliver's performance was a very bright spot but pulling Oliver is not why we lost the game.

Woody needs a quick lesson on tacking technique and what constitutes targeting. I think yesterday he was possessed by Al Groh.

CPJ's offensive genius is the only thing that even kept us in the game. His inability to field even a mediocre special teams unit or defense is what lost it for us.

"genius" may not be quite the right word.

Another year, more excuses. Again, we have nothing to lose by changing coaches, we are losing anyway.

Except $12 million. We extended his contract two more years in the off-season so he's ours through 2022.

Which, incidentally, I have yet to figure out why we did that. He was coming off a 5-7 season and had 3 remaining seasons on his current contract. It's not like the 'teams are using that against us in recruiting' argument would hold water. Why not wait until the end of this season to make that call? I get that it's spilled milk now but I questioned the logic of it at the time as well.

Me too questioned the logic however, if this season goes south no high-schoolers will want to come to play here, choose your poison.

I remember the 1987 season. We won two games that year, The Citadel and Indiana State. The talk around campus then was how we should drop to Division II and wishing we could at least be consistently mediocre, like NCState. Huge things happened 3 seasons later, but it looked pretty grim in 1987.

My point is, championship caliber student athletes still came to Tech to play after the dismal 1987 season. What was Ross selling that Johnson isn’t?

Reduced standards and almost unlimited exceptions. For example jr college transfers were an integral part of the NC team. Additionally, the NCAA rules about advancement to a degree weren’t in place for Ross’s years.

And Ross’s record was still pretty mediocre except for that one year.

Ok. So it was less restrictive. What made those dummy championship players want to come to Tech after dreadful and mediocre seasons?

Do you believe if this season goes south, no high-schoolers will want to come play here? If so, why?
