Iowa’s offense has been lackluster this season, but they are traditionally a power running team, and they have relatively big guys up front. They may give the Tech D yet more trouble. A good match-up on both sides of the ball. Iowa’s D should be physical enough and smart enough to force some stops against Tech.

Tech is in trouble. We need to face poor defensive teams so that we can outscore the opponent. Iowa has a good enough defense to either force a turnover or make us punt a couple times. Unfortunately the Tech defense can’t stop anybody unless we get lucky with a turnover. (It has been 10 quarters since Tech forced a punt.) Tech must make some changes on the defensive staff to remain competitive in the future.

BAD SPORTS. It doesn’t matter who Georgia Tech plays in what sport; Georgia Tech is ALWAYS BAD SPORTS about it.

UGA beat Georgia Tech 65-60 today on TV Channel 45 CSS. MaChelle Joseph and Georgia Tech still have never beaten The Lady Dawgs in Athens, ever. The all-time record stands at 3-29 for Georgia Tech against UGA women in basketball. The Georgia Women also have a higher ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE than Georgia Tech’s Women’s Basketball Team.

UGA looked like the smarter players today by causing 29 Turnovers by Tech’s women and by UGA going on a 13-2 run to end the game. UGA is in the Top 10 of the RPI and Georgia Tech is not in the Top 25 of any Poll. So far this season The Lady Dawgs have beat RPI # 4 Oklahoma, # 14 Rutgers and then # 21 Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech has beat no team in the Top 107 of the RPI.

On the men’s side, Georgia has a Winning Record against Paul Hewitt, who also not only has the worse APR in men’s basketball than UGA, but more importantly is on NCAA PROBATION for having a men’s ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE of 914, not only the lowest APR in the country, but also causing the NCAA to LIMIT GEORGIA TECH IN MEN’S BASKETBALL TO ONLY 11 SCHOLARSHIPS THIS SEASON.

Congratulations to MaChelle Joseph, who LAST YEAR WHEN SHE LOST TO ANDY LANDERS, had Andy Landers come up to her after the game and extend a handshake, only to see the battle-axe MaChelle Joseph just purposely walk by Andy Landers who has NEVER LOST to Georgia Tech in Athens EVER.

This year, after the defeat of Georgia Tech, MaChelle Joseph went ahead and shook Andy Landers’ hand.

Georgia Tech just has a hard time competing with The University of Georgia’s Athletic Department in ACADEMICS.

And, sports.

MaChelle Joseph had said before the game today, that beating Georgia at Georgia would be the defining moment of the Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball Program, today.

She isn’t any different than Paul Johnson and the women aren’t any different from the football players who were totally sure they would beat UGA before they played us, too. Defining Moment ? Why not wait until you beat UGA ever in women’s basketball in Athens, and then say it was the defining moment MaChelle instead of bragging pregame that it is before you actually ever have beat UGA in Athens in Women’s Basketball.

BuLL(crap)Dawg, good for you that your women’s basketball is stronger than GT’s. Congrats.

One thing though: what’s wrong about saying winning against UGA would be a defining moment for GT’s women’s program? If you are a lesser program, it would mean a lot if you beat more premier program, just like beating GT was your defining moment this year.

Still, we are bowling in Miami. Where are you bowling this season?

The SEC is 6 games over .500 against the other BCS Conferences and the ACC is not only 2 games under .500 against the other BCS Conferences but for good measure is the only BCS Conference to lose any games against 1-AA teams and the ACC lost 2 games to 1-AA opponents too.

Perfect matchup for the Jackets! We have a chance to(offensively beat a good Iowa program, making our climb for the MNC next year very possible. I have NO delusions that we will give the Hawkeye’s the best chance to have a stellar day on the offensive side of the ball…. I think the offense will have a field day with their defense. There is little or no chance that Iowa has seen anything like what’s going to be in Miami… (offensively) I can only hope that after our win in Miami, that CPJ will make the appropriate changes on the defensive side of the ball.

On a side note, you have to feel sad for BuLLdawg, talking about women’s basketball on a football blog??? What has UGA football come to, that their fans are trash talking about women’s basketball. Jeez, come on BuLldawg, there is always next year!

I haven’t had the opportunity to see any Georgia Tech games this year, but I’ve always had a positive impression of the team, and this season, I felt that Georgia Tech was slighted somewhat in the rankings. From what I understand, GA Tech uses a nice spread offense, similar to Michigan State, and we saw how much trouble Iowa had with Michigan State. This game is an interesting match-up. Iowa has been very successful against SEC teams in bowl games (3-1) but have we even played an ACC team lately? I’m not very familiar with the ACC teams, but I’m pretty sure Iowa hasn’t faced an ACC team in a long time.

Iowa can stack up against anybody. They took Ohio State to the brink and but for a few dropped passes would be undefeated this season. I haven’t watched any of GT’s games, they may be able to boast of similar “what-if’s.” I’ll say this, though – don’t dismiss the Hawkeyes. They’re the kind of the team that gets a lot of mileage out of being underestimated and overlooked. GT has a fantastic coaching staff, and I expect the Jackets to come ready to play, so this isn’t much of a concern in a bowl game, but for you fans in Atlanta, don’t be surprised of Iowa puts up more of a fight than you seem to anticipate. The Hawkeyes also have a fantastic coaching stuff that makes great adjustments to different play styles.

Iowa fans are looking forward to the trip to Florida. I’ve only been to Atlanta once, but I liked the city, and was a Falcons fans for a while when former Iowa receiver Tim Dwight played there in the Super Bowl year. Best of luck all around.

I feel sorry for the Orange bowl. They get the most undeserving BCS conference champion (Tech) and the worse possible at-large team. The good thing is neither of the worthy at-large teams (TCU or Boise) are going to be wasted by having to play Tech. It would have been fun though, watching TCU’s D destroy Tech’s offense. But I’m sure all the other BCS bowls are excited that the Orange gets to take the ratings hit with the trash teams. It means better ratings for them. Oh and, good luck to the ACC champs (UGA) in the Independance bowl.

This should be a very interesting matchup. Iowa, like GT, has had a lot of games that could have gone either way, could have won them or could have lost them.

How they prepare for the different offensive style will determine the outcome of the game. GT will have a tough time defensively, just as they have all season. Injuries have really decimated the defensive side of the ball as well as the offensive line.

To all of the UGA fans that feel the need to post such useless drivel on here without any meaningful commentary, keep it up, it is the sincerest form of flattery and we all understand it is posted out of jealousy. To those with mature, meaningful commentary, thank you. May we meet next year that Saturday after Thanksgiving with mutually unstained records.

Back to Iowa, the team actually annoyed me for a while at the beginning of the season with al of the hype they were getting. They seemed to eek out wins at the last second that they may not have deserved. Anyway, good luck to both teams.

“Hmmmmmmmmm”….Your kidding…right? You really think Tech is about to end UGA dominance and level the playing field? Impossible. UGA beat you in a down year when we lost our top 3 offensive players (Stafford, Moreno and Mo Mass). We’ll soon have the best D coordinator that our deep pockets can buy, a 50 million dollar expansion of our (already superior to Tech’s) weightroom and facilities. We are again racking up the state in recruiting….you honestly think PJ can recruit against us? Impossible. We return all 5 starting OLmen that bullwhipped your DL, our 2 RBs that trashed your D for over 300 yards rushing. The best WR/TE combo in the nation (A.J. Green/Orson Charles). If you thought this season was a beatdown, next season will be a true demolishing. You’re only kidding yourself Tech fan. 9-1 my friend….we are pulling away and there’s no way Tech can ever catch us.

@C from Marietta …. I’m with you. The ultimate situation would be for UGA and GT to come into each year’s game undefeated, with Tech winning maybe two out of every three years (until the overall records are more balanced). If we could do that, then there would be a good shot for a team from GA to compete for the MNC every year. At that point, we could (hopefully) do away with all the mindless insults and instead acknowledge that both schools have excellent football programs.

As for the Orange Bowl, my only complaint is that they’ve scheduled it for a TUESDAY night. It would have made traveling much easier if the game were played during the holiday weekend. Nevertheless, I hope we can take a good crowd to Miami and cheer the Jackets to victory.

This matchup is a bit disrespectful to the ACC. How could the ACC commissioner stand for this? You have a conference champion vs. the second or third best team in an overrated conference (Big 10). Big 10 is weaker than usual this year. A win is just a win for GT, but a loss would not go unnoticed.

Intellectually, Tech v Iowa will be interesting on a number of fronts.

I’m sure we’ll see a lot more information about Iowa, but while Iowa may think (as so many others have) that they can prepare for this offense and be OK, I will be interested to see any analysis on team speed; if it’s true that Tech has an advantage in team speed, particularly the Tech O v the Iowa D, I think that might be too much for Iowa to simulate in practice.

And if the solutions Iowa finds in practice don’t work, they’ll not have the time or the speed-of-thought to adjust dynamically during the game…which should give CPJ’s ability to adjust on-the-fly a tremendous advantage over the Iowa D.

I am worried about Iowa’s offense v Tech’s D (or lack thereof).

Hawkeye – We had our share too, but we were not undefeated at the time and had not had those “close calls” by then. The game that really got me was against Indiana which the refs completely botched time and time again. Watching those refs was like watching the SEC refs. I really did not care who won the game, but I thought the game was handed to Iowa. If anything, I was cheering for Iowa in that one given ESPN ’s Heather Dinich’s Indiana affiliation. My comments above really relate to the early season when I watched Iowa closer, really did not follow them after their first loss.

Like I said, this game should be a fun one to watch. I just hope we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot like we did the last bowl game. I don’t see CPJ letting that happen this time. The good thing is he still has the UGA game to point to as an example of what happens when focus is lost.

Bulldog Nation,
Next year you’re starting from scratch again with a new QB, a new DC, and a shaky OC. You won’t be highly ranked pre-season, so you’ll likely have NO shot at a MNC (assuming you’d actually win all your games, ha!). Tech, meanwhile, will probably be ranked pre-season top 10 (assuming everybody comes back, and pre-season top 20) if one or two players leave early.

NCR – There is no IF 1 or 2 players leave – Dwyer and Morgan will be gone. Any junior likely to be drafted in the 1st 2 rounds this year should leave for the draft and get a good contract before the NFL locks out the players in 2011.
GT should be ranked preseason next year but who knows where they will be ranked – probably in the teens like this year. Remember that it is all about perceptions and that half the voters have no real clue about more than 10 – 15 teams. Some teams always get votes.
Think about it – FSU was ranked #1 in the Atlantic in preseason, #18 in the AP, this year (just because they are FSU – 5 years of underperforming not withstanding) and likely will be ranked next year.

If you weren’t so bitter about your 5-loss season, you would see the reality behind having TCU play Boise (they played each other last year in the Poinsettia Bowl). Because the BCS couldn’t justify leaving either team out this year, they isolated them in one game rather than playing them against BCS league teams. Previously, the Fiesta Bowl was gushing about picking Iowa to bring their 50,000 fan base to the game since it’s about money. Fiesta must be getting some kick-backs from the other BCS bowls to take the financial hit. By the way, you really must take and “pass” a course on Logic. In your reality Alabama should be celebrating winning last year’s National Championship, and Tech can claim last year’s ACC Championship and Orange Bowl win. Grow up, your team won “a” game. Congratulations, buy some rings and Hold on to them.

THE NCAA DOES NOT AWARD OR RECOGNIZE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS IN FOOTBALL.

Now, the bees might claim some b.s. titles (like when the country was embroiled in the height of WWI), but GT HAS NEVER WON A UNANIMOUS TITLE.

Paul in RDU -

Iowa’s DBs are stellar as well (their Jr CB Spievey is going NFL & is 1st team all BigTen, as well as their SS). If I were to coach against them though, I would pick on the FS spot. He tends to play deep so you can get wide-open around 20 yards over the middle.

As for your question, Iowa tends to run between the tackles but only has had success with A.Robinson in. He is a pounder that can pick-up the tough yards. Iowa will stay between the tackles 90% of the time and won’t give-up even if it’s not working. They like to wear down d-lines and get most of their ground yards in the 4th quarter. The only problem with that is we could be down by 14 by then with GTs offense.

My guess is Iowa will be having success through the air and their run game will be the icing on the cake. Look for Iowa’s TE Moeaki to have a huge game.

Paul in RDU – you’re right, I was one year short of D-Day. My apologies, I’m usually very good with historic dates. But it only strengthens my position. We were attacked in 1941, but the ramp up effort leading to D-Day lasted three and a half years. In fact, Half of UGA’s team fought overseas in WWII, including Trippi, Sinkwich, etc. Bottom line, it’s safe to say that all schools fielded legitimate football teams in 1942. Yes, UGA won the NC that year.

However, in 1917, nearly every male 17-25 in the country was in the trenches. How could tech find anybody to play, let alone find anybody to play? Oh, that’s right. They had ringers from Fort MacPherson play high school kids. Yeah, that sounds like a NC to me. Typical tech b.s. argument.

Timbo – there you go again. I’m sure that you spent your time googling WW II but you should have spent some time looking up WW I as well.
The US only declared war on Germany in April 1917 and didn’t start sending large numbers of troops to France until Spring 1918. In fact one of the reasons for Ludendorff’s offensive on the Western Front in Spring 1918 was to try to win the war before the Dough Boys arrived.

You might want to read Ferro’s book (The Great War) or Keegan’s (The First World War) and learn something.

And as for comparing 1917 with 1942 – don’t be giving me that “war didn’t start until 1944″ nonsense. You know that some of the key battles in the Pacific were in the Summer of 1942, right? Coral Sea? Midway? ring a bell? Heck they have the movie on TBS about every 6 months or so.

I’ll give you that just about all of the colleges fielded legitimate teams in 1942 and that UGA was hailed as NC by several groups (as was Ohio State and Wisconsin, by the way), but in no way is GT’s 1917 MNC not legitimate – they were ranked #1 by all of the polls.

Thanks for the synopsis. That’s the impression I had about your offense – running hard between the tackles. Any team that can outscore PSU in Happy Valley in the 4th quarter is doing something right.

Your safety shouldn’t have to worry about many 15 yard passes in front of him – he’ll either have to come up to play the option or go back deep to cover Thomas or Hill.
It should be a hard fought, fairly high scoring game. Enjoy the trip to Miami. I know Iowa will bring a huge number of fans – I’ve spent plenty of time up in the cornfield states in Winter and a bowlk game in S FLA is just the medicine you need.

GeorgiaHawkeye- wow, just went back and read your rather arrogant post from 4:11. I have to say, I had no idea there was a “Hawkeye nation”, or even such as thing as a Iowa fan in GA. First of all, no serious Tech fan is overlooking any team that finished 10-2 and got an at large bid. With our defense, we can’t overlook anybody. We lost to an average UGA team because of our porous defense, so the fact that a Big Ten team running the ball on us is not unexpected. What would be surprising is if your defense can actually stop the option. Historically, no one has stopped the option yet in two years, if Tech doesn’t self-destruct with penalties and turnovers. Miami did a pretty good job this year, but that’s it. UGA did pretty good early and got lucky in the end. Tech will get its yards and score if they don’t stop themselves. What you have to ask is, can Iowa score over 40 points? That is what it will take to beat Tech. I bet not considering your season high was 42 against Indiana. Don’t even get me started on the drinking challenge! Good luck, but Tech runs it for 400+.

For ever Reggie Ball at GT, there are 3,000 at UGA.

You can compare our football programs, but as an academic institution, there’s no comparison. You are out classed in that arena.

As bitter a pill as it was (at the time) to lose to the lowly mutts, I am way over it now. That game, and that team, are totally irrelevant. Nobody outside the state of GA gives a rip about that game, and I’m sure that includes the good people in Iowa. They know they are going to be up against a good team with an awesome, totally unpredictable, offense coached by a man with nerves of steel—one who is NEVER afraid to lay it on the line and NEVER willing to give up.

Dawgfan1, in answer to your question, since 1980, Tech has won or shared THREE ACC championships and shared ONE National Championship. In last year’s Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Tech was beaten by LSU by a score of 38-3. Tech accepts its defeats as well as its successes, unlike a certain other school in this state who whines and makes excuses for EVERY loss they have. Can you name that school? That would be the University (sic) of Georgia, who is still whining and making excuses for two of their losses to Tech WAY BACK in the 1940s; they won’t even accept the CORRECT series record, nor for that matter (apparently) the actual number of times the game has been played. Tech has THREE national championships which are recognized by the NCAA, FOUR by most other sources; how many national championships does UGAG have which are recognized by the NCAA? That would be ONE. Tech has a total of 16 conference championships (SAIA, Southern, SEC, and ACC) in its history. How many conference championships (SAIA, Southern, SEC) does UGAG have? That would be 13. Is there anything else you would like to know, or which I can help you with. If not, then get back to cleaning out the grease trap; it’s stinks just like a mutt’s butt….which I am sure you are very familiar in sniffing.

Can’tbreathe, UGAG only stopped Tech’s inside game. They never stopped the outside game, and if not for Nesbitt’s off-target passing that night, they wouldn’t have stopped the passing game either.

Blacksmith, back during the time UGAG and Tech were in the same conference(s), they played the same teams year in and year out, and yet Tech still (at that time) had more conference championships than the mutts.

Georgia Tech should cover the 3.5.

Iowa’s NCAA SoS is Number 17 to Georgia Tech at Number 51.

Iowa’s wins are all 3 over very questionable teams. Penn State, Arizona, and Wisconsin – none of whom beat anyone else.

Iowa cannot run the football to save their soul, and that is how you beat Georgia Tech. They can light up the Tech secondary, but Tech has a month to figure out to never put 7 in the box and to drop back 5, assuming Tech can find a nickel back to drop back.

Iowa just is not a good match-up for Georgia Tech. A Conference Champion should not have to face a team who LOST 2 of their last 3 games, including hapless Ohio State whom The SEC owns and highly questionable Northwestern who played SoS Number 112 and therefore somehow is facing Auburn in the Outback Bowl.

Northwestern LOST 4 games against SoS Number 112, just wait until you see whom it is Northwestern LOST to, but Northwestern beat Iowa. Good Lord, Northwestern LOST to Syracuse 4-8, Minnesota 6-6, Penn State whose ONLY WIN is over Northwestern BCS Number 35, and 6-6 hapless too Michigan State. But, this Northwestern crap team beat Iowa.

Iowa should have no hope.

The Big Ten (11) is such a joke a conference, none of them playing any one, and worse yet, all of them losing to nobodies and beating highly questionable therefore, teams.

Now, if Georgia Tech gives up on its run, and tries to pass the football with a “qb” who in 34 games over 3 years has thrown a grand total of 12 TD passes to 11 interceptions, Tech would be playing straight into the hands of the only thing Iowa can do, and that is to defend the pass. Iowa gets lots of practice practicing against themselves, and Iowa can pass the football.

Surely, Georgia Tech is not that stupid.

Look, Tech only beat 1 team in the BCS Top 25.

Tech played 6 opponents who do not even go to a bowl game.

Your campus is in the slums where the crime is, and the guns, and the drugs.

Tech’s SoS is Number 51 by The NCAA itself.

Iowa is a horrible opponent for any conference CHUMPionship game winner to have to play.

The game is in Miami, where the crime approximates that of Tech’s own campus. It is a The BCS Game which always has the dead last worst rating, and this match-up with Iowa is a horrible match-up with Iowa, who lost to Northwestern for God’s sake with their SoS Number 112 in the nation. Iowa is a horrible football team, whose only strength is stopping the pass, which is what Georgia Tech did to lose to UGA.

You may like your chances based on the UGA game, but remember, they are our bitter rival, as you can obviously see from vicious back and forth between the bloggers.

BuLLdawg sure spends a lot of time and effort bashing Tech. You have to wander why someone could be so obsessed with another school. Most UGA graduates are not that obsessed and understand sports for what they are, a great way toa llow young people to compete and a good way to get your school publicity. BuLLdawg likely never went to college, is jealous of those who did and is trying to identify with a group. It is really just very sad. Good luck to UGA and Tech in the upcoming bowl season.

GeorgiaHawkeye- go back and read my post before you call anyone a “retard”. I never said you lived in Des Moise, I assumed you were polluting Atlanta like so many others who love to crap on our city, yet for some strange reason want to live here rather than those lovely places you claim to love like Iowa. My post actually meant “Why don’t you move back if you love it so much and get off our roads!”. And I could care less what city the Univ of Iowa is in. They are a low to mid level team in the “Big” Ten that is having their once in a decade good year. You lost to a weak as usual Ohio St.team that will get blown out by the Ducks. You are big and slow and will be looking at the back of Tech’s jerseys all day long. If you thought Tyrelle Pryor was fast- we have about 6 guys that fast or faster, and 3-4 are them are on the field at the same time. Like I asked you earlier and you never answered (amazing how you ignored the football related stuff and just chose to insult on another team’s blog)- CAN IOWA SCORE OVER 40 POINTS? They did it once this year, against Indiana (they actually have a football team?) and they almost beat you, and should have.

First off, much respect to GT. You guys are a good team and I’m expecting a good bowl game. Sadly I don’t know as much about your team’s strengths and weaknesses as I would like, but I know you have a running game to be feared and plenty of weapons on offense to respect.

A couple points on Iowa though.
1) A comment was made earlier in the blog as to the effect of “Don’t expect Iowa to make many solo tackles like UGA did against us, our guys can’t be stopped.” In actuality, Iowa is one of the best tackling teams in the nation. They are all about keeping the opponent in front of them, limiting mistakes, and making good tackles to limit yards after catch and yards after first contact. So yes, I fully expect Iowa to make solo tackles when necessary, that’s what exceptional defenses do, and Iowa is an exceptional defense.

2) Stanzi, heaven knows, has given us Iowa fans fits with his early mistakes in games. At one point I thought he was going to set an NCAA record with most consecutive games with an interception returned for a touchdown. But, like many of the great gunslinger QBs in CFB, for better or worse he doesn’t let it phase him and he keeps making throws. In his worst game of the year against Indiana, he threw 4 picks in the span of about 20 minutes of game play. Most QBs would give up or become hesitant at that. Instead, iowa scored 28 points in the 4th quarter to win, lead by Stanzi’s passing. He’s lead more 4th quarter comebacks than anyone in the country this year, and he hasn’t lost a game that he’s started since last year’s upset of penn state.
3) Building on that, Stanzi & Iowa were in the top 10 in the nation in long distance pass plays before he went down. They can and will open it up very quickly on defenses when they find a crease. Its something that has to be respected and planned against, which has kept their offense alive all season long.
4) Robinson, Iowa’s freshman running back, has set Iowa freshman rushing records while sitting out or missing significant playing time in 4 games this season. He’s a tough back with good vision, speed, and power, running behind an excellent offensive line. To say Iowa can’t run the ball, as someone mentioned earlier, is just silly.
5) Iowa’s special teams is amazing. Their blocked punt in the Penn State game turned it, and lest anyone forget they blocked 2 consecutive field goals to stay alive in their opening game of the season. (and in response, yes, that was against an FCS team, yes, iowa has played down to competition this year, but they’ve played up, too. )
6) Finally, Iowa adjusts amazingly well during a game, especially after halftime. Penn State scored on a quick strike on their first drive of the game vs Iowa and then didn’t sniff the end zone for the rest of the game. Wisconsin lead 10-0 at halftime and didn’t score a point the rest of the game. Indiana and Northwestern both held to only a field goal in the second half. I think a close game favors the hawkeyes because of their great ability to adjust.
I know that GT fans can give me a bunch of good reasons yall will win this game as well, which is why I expect a good, hard fought game. I’m just trying to clear up any misconceptions that this game will be a cakewalk against a “Big, dumb, slow, weak” B10 team.
Good luck to yall.

A Rob,

Iowa runs mostly zone coverages, but thanks for playing. Do all GT fans talk out their bum without doing any research? Oh, and while your players are shredding through Iowa’s defensive backfield, did you forget that your QB (that has moderate passing skills at best) still has to throw the ball to them? That’s when the Hawks have a field day with the turnovers.

It’s kinda funny when the players are shaking hands and the fans are beating each other up. As fans, our loyalty will get to our emotions. But give credit to both teams. They worked so hard to get to the BCS. As a Hawkeye fan, I prefer to see the Hawkeyes win, but when I think of it another way, maybe even a lost can still ease my pain. The players on both teams will go 100% for their own pride, dedication, and the determination to reach the next level(NFL). Take nothing away from them because win or lose, I am sure they will play their heart out. As a fan’s perspective, I get pissed if the Hawkeyes lose but for the Players’ point of view…I will congrat and credit the ones who prevail. Why because they’re all young athletes mostly from 18-23. They put everything on the table. They sacrafice their bodies for Scholarhips, pride, and a better future.
With this being said. Good Luck to the GT fans and players. Don’t care how we play or what we’re good at. Whether Defense of Offense, no one will know for sure how the game will be play and the outcome of the game.
It will be an interesting game to watch. And GT fans, just us…we have fans everywhere. There will be millions of fans watching this game on TV and attending he game.
