finally, Heather gets Biiiaaaatch slapped and it is about time. You know Heather you have dissed Ga Tech way too long and what did you expect? Even though you despise GT you should be mature and smart enough to say GT has a chance but you cannot even do that. Oh and BTW, Nesbitt for Heisman in 2010 and nobody but nobody gives a d @ m n about your opinion on that subject either. GO JACKETS

We have the horses we need to make the offense work as well, if not better than last year. Joshua & company will be able to score on anybody. Now, If the defensive team can master the 3-4 we can go undefeated this coming year. It’s hard to believe that we won as many games as we did with the defense we had the last couple of years (watch especially the Clemson games, any of them).

Uga will start the season with an uncomfortably close game against La-Lafayette. Murray will simply have a hard time getting things going. They’ll then follow it up with a stunning loss in SC the next week. Arkansas is a toss up, but their offense will probably roll over your d. It all depends on if your offense can finally get it going. Then in a surprise upset, Mississippi State’s Meyer spread option, which ga has been absolutely INCAPABLE of stopping the past few years, will absolutely maul the dogs defense. Best case at the end of September 2-2. Strong chance of 1-3.
The real question is which home game will be the first one that the whole crowd leaves early for.

3.) Notice how all the so called tech fans just jumped on the prospect of getting back into the SEC?

Reality, whats wrong, mom cleaned the basement and now you can’t find your D and D game you left going. Did your WoW server crash or something. I’m not trying to slam the football team, just the fact that Tech fans like to point out that some UGA “fans” got up and left a game last year, while their own stadium is never full unless the Dawgs are in town. That is actually true. Also, I was at the Kentucky game, I saw the fans leaving, and it pissed me off to no end. But, even after they left, there were more than enough to overflow the Joke by Coke. I hope those people who left never come to another UGA game, they aren’t true fans. But for you to flame like that just shows what the average Tech fan’s mentality is: 3rd Grade rhetoric. And in terms of winning games, take a look at the records: 8 out of 9 biaaatch. Lick it.

TO DAWG FANS….
You are the only ones that care at all about selling seats and filling stadiums. No one else gives a darn. We at GA Tech care about winning games – maybe you should shift your priority? I know that seems to be the ONLY thing that you have to hang your hat on, but that is very pitiful, indeed!
Real Tech fans don’t want to consider leaving the ACC, much less joining the SEC. We realize that the ACC is far superior in all measures – total revenue, basketball, football, baseball, etc. Why should we consider stepping down to the SEC? Yes, GA Tech has history there, but that is just history. The future is the ACC.
DEVIL DAWG – I’ll call you out. Why are you on the Tech blog? Have you run out of things to talk about from Shreveport? The ugag is meaningless in the national picture and in the SEC picture and in your own division picture. Go back to your dog house with your tail between your legs.

One reason why the Jackets can repeat as ACC champs that Allen forgot (probably because he don’t have a number) is Paul Johnson.
I feel like Johnson is the ultimate “let me show you” coach. PJ doesn’t have bad years after he gets a program up and “running”. So until something else shows different, why would you bet against Paul Johnson?
GT might not repeat as ACC champs, but it won’t be because of any of the reasons that Heather Dinich might think (losing Dwyer, Thomas, Morgan & Burnett or switching defenses or whatever)…it would be because a whole lot of key players get injured for long stretches or because PJ is beamed up to an alien space craft to bring the perfect option to another galaxy.
Allen was right, Dinich picked against GT all season long (including both games against Clemson…duh Heather, GT always beats Clemson) and was wrong all season. Keep on picking against GT Heather…please!!!

2:01 pm
To GT12, Reality 1:18 p.m. and GTAluminRocketCity:
I admire your passion for your Jackets, but unfortunately like many of your fellow fans, you view the world through rose colored glasses. Please consider the FACTS:
FACT: The ACC is NOT superior to the SEC as Reality said here: “We realize that the ACC is far superior in all measures – total revenue, basketball, football, baseball, etc. Why should we consider stepping down to the SEC?”
The SEC is VASTLY SUPERIOR in football dude, do you WATCH the games? South Carolina beat a supposedly better Clemson team, my Georgia Bulldogs beat a HIGHLY RANKED Tech team, Florida dominates FSU, etc. etc. etc. etc. The SEC has had what, four straight national champs? how many SEC teams have finished in the top 10 in the last 10 years? Fla., UGA, Auburn, LSU, Bama, Tennessee, etc. etc. etc. Aside from FSU and Miami in the early 2000s, what have ACC teams done? Tech and Va. Tech and Clemson are OCCASIONALLY good but then get beat in bowl games. So the SEC dominates the football argument. The two leagues are a wash in basketball/baseball, each having its respective strong teams, but if you look at the OVERALL picture, the SEC is vastly superior, top to bottom, success-wise and money-wise and attendance-wise, than the ACC.
FACT: GTAluminRocketCity at 12:02 p.m. said Tech has a shot at going “undefeated” this year. Really? This is pretty much the same team, without Dwyer, Thomas, Morgan and Burnett, that lost 3 games. Plus, your schedule is kinda tough this year… road games at Kansas, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Clemson, Va. Tech AND Georgia? You’ll lose AT LEAST two of those… maybe one home game… so you’re looking at maybe 9-3, 10-3. Don’t start tossing around the word “undefeated” unless you have a team with NO weaknesses, an easy schedule with hard games on your home field, and a lot of momentum going into the season. You just lost to freakin’ Iowa, and you have lost 8 of 9 to my Bulldogs… be thankful if you go 9-3 and get to the ACC title game, okay?
FACT: The fact that you guys think UGA is going to have some god-awful season is a joke. You think we’ll be 1-3 in September? PLEASE! We have dominated both South Carolina AND Arkansas over the last 20 years. We beat BOTH last year with a VASTLY weaker team than this year. And we have a better, more settled situation at QB, RB, WR, and defensive coordinator than last year. Yes, UGA may wind up 8-4 at the end of the year, but we also have the TALENT to go 10-2.
FINAL FACT: UGA football is better, overall, top to bottom, period, than Tech over the last 40 years. UGA has won more games, won more bowls, won more conference titles, beaten Tech more, and had more national recognition than Tech. In 2008, UGA went 10-3 and you would have thought we went 0-13 by the disappointment and frustration of our fans. Last year, Tech goes 11-3 and it’s hailed as the “greatest season in YEARS!” by jacket fans, even though you lost to your biggest rival and fell flat in your bowl game on national TV.
The difference is expectations: Georgia goes into every year EXPECTING to be a contender in the SEC and on the national stage, while Tech HOPES to win 9 or 10 games and get to a “big bowl.” While the last 3 years may not have been Georgia’s best, I’ll take Mark Richt’s body of work at Georgia ANY DAY over smug CPJ and his promises of potential.
See you on the field, boys. Good luck in every game except Nov. 27.
Jeff
May 26th, 2010
2:07 pm
P.S. And one more note… Tech fans, beware of a coach promising this and that and showing a lot of bravado early in his career… Weis did it at Notre Dame, Spurrier at South Carolina, Kiffin at Tennessee, Callahan at Nebraska, etc. It’s one thing to SAY, another thing to DO. CPJ may wind up being a great coach and lead Tech to all kind of championships, but until he does, if I were a jacket fan, I would tell him to SHUT UP until he beats UGA consistently, wins bowls consistently, and is in the national title hunt consistently.
Until then, keep the fire on him and make him produce. His smugness may wind up costing him in the long run if he doesn’t go 11-1 or 12-0 every year. If your opponents start to figure out the option offense, and unless Groh can turn back the clock on his career by 20 years, Tech may again be entering a Gailey-like stretch of mediocrity. I’m not saying it will happen or wishing it on you… i’m just sayin’ watch out.

Thanks Dr. Kenneth. And I have no idea what GT12 is talking about… HE is the one that was orgasmic about Tech’s chances of going undefeated this year….
All I am doing is being a realist. Tech has lost 2 games or less only THREE TIMES in the last 40 years… Georgia has lost 2 games or less TWELVE TIMES in the last 40 years. Tech has won two outright conference titles and shared one… Georgia has won five outright conference titles.
I am just saying history wise, Tech’s chances of going unbeaten and dominating the ACC for years to come aren’t very likely. Georgia, with it’s coaching stability and outstanding recruiting, has a good shot at going 10-2 or 11-1 and competing on a national stage about every other year.

I’m happy with UGA’s pick of Grantham… lot of recent success with some outstanding NFL defenses with the Cowboys (Dallas’s failures have mostly been because of Tony Romo and TO and Wade Phillips, not the defensive schemes.)
Groh may turn out to be a great addition for Tech… but if I were a Jackets fan, I would worry that he won’t get much more out of the defense than we’ve seen in recent years.

Come, let’s reason together, and let’s leave the name calling out of this. Based on the FACTS, it is my opinion that Tech may have a hard time getting back to 11 wins and a BCS bowl this year with a tougher schedule and a LOT of roster questions, plus a less-than-stellar defensive coordinator. Didn’t Tech fans question the SAME THINGS about Georgia a year ago? That’s all I’m trying to say….

let’s review.
in the 2009 offseason, uga FINALLY fires martinez a few years too late and then FINALLY lands the third or 4th choice of DC (that no one else wanted after underperforming in the pros). how about them dawgs, indeed.
in the same offseason, GT goes ahead and fires wommack even though his defense was better than uga’s gt: 24.8 points surrendered per game vs. uga: 25.9 points given up per game http://www.cfbstats.com/2009/team/index.html ) and then lands groh as the first choice for DC (who turned down an offer from bill parcells to coach the defense of the miami dolphins after a track record of success in the pros).
is that about right? and people think that GEORGIA TECH should be worried, lol.
i just wish i could bet a significant amount of money against the delusions of many uga fans. that bet would be a surefire winner every year.

To wesleywhatwhat…. you are SERIOUSLY going to say Wommack’s defense at Tech was BETTER than Georgia’s, based on ONE POINT PER GAME in the final stats? I hope you’re kidding.
Georgia’s defense was bad in spurts (Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee), but it also had some solid moments. I remember beating a highly-ranked ACC team on the road in November before winning a bowl game against one of the top five offenses in the country.
I don’t think we can make any judgements about either team’s DC just yet… all we can do is go on track record. Grantham has had a very successful NFL career in recent years… Groh struggled mightily at Virginia, against the same competition he’ll be facing at Tech.
I am simply saying that Tech fans are WAY overconfident if they think Groh is the magic pill that will fix all the Jackets’ problems.

The Acc could be a very improved conference this year, if so, bad news for GT. Tech simply doesn’t have the talent or depth to compete with the better teams on their schedule. Johnsons recruiting classes have been below average. Last year was a good year, but last year was the weakest ACC in years. The obsession with UGA is hilarious, talk smack when you can beat them on a consistent basis. Paul Johnson was out coached by Willie M. last year . To make it worse Georgia best player was injured.

I never said that we’d go undefeated. I think that was reality. Out of UNC, VT, and Miami, I think there’s a great chance we’ll lose 1-2.
JB
When I mean uncomfortably close, I think of GT vs. Jacksonville State last year. We were never in danger of losing that game at all, but the lack of production of the offense in the second half, and the bad defense definitely had a lot of jackets worried. Those worries proved to be fairly well founded after the Clemson game.

GT12… I stand corrected, sorry about that. For the record, you make much more logical arguments than that Reality dude, anyway.
Out of the 3 teams you mentioned, I think you’re currently better than UNC and about equal with Va. Tech… I think you’ll lose 1, and if you get a bad break or two, maybe lose 2. And don’t sleep on that road trip to Kansas… they have some talent out there. Plus, playing at Clemson and at Georgia and at Miami is pretty tough in one year.
I don’t know why your team sleepwalked through some games last year and showed up for others… would’ve thought that Jack St. was a wakeup early on. I know me and a lot of other UGA fans were surprised at how Miami dominated you.
I think there are a lot of question marks for Tech that won’t be settled until 3 or 4 games into the season.

Gonna be hilarious when the bulldawgs realize that Washuan isn’t nearly as good as they think. Is it just coincidence that he started putting up huge numbers at the tail end of the season when you played the worst statistical defenses of the season as well? If you looked at Barnhardt’s fact vs fiction, I think something like 60% of the voters thought Washuan would lead the SEC in rushing… let’s just forget Mr. Heisman winner and his backup why don’t we…

Some facts, we ran very well on the last 5 teams we played, most of which was w/o the aforementioned AJ Green. Folks knew what we were gonna do and knew we ahd no passing game and still couldn’t stop it.
ALL of those folks are back and we should have a better QB.

Where was it ever confirmed that Groh had an offer to coach for the Dolphins? It’s my understanding he was interviewed and nothing more.
Tell me again what is so great about a 65 year old DC who just got fired from freaking UVA. As head coach and DC last year, his D at UVA was 52nd in the country and only marginally better than Tech, which was 54th. Something tells me this defense is NOT going to be better with the loss of two of the most talented defensive players in Tech history.
Next season is gonna be a rude awakening for the nerds and their busty coach. Tech wins 8 games AT MOST and could very well finish 6-6, which may not even be worthy of Shreveport with the ACC’s bowl tie ins.

Do I really mean that Washuan really isn’t the best running back in the SEC?
Ealey rushing yards/game:
LSU 33
Tennessee 18 (1.8 yds/attempt lol)
Vanderbilt 71
Florida 70 (I’ll admit, this was either a solid game, or a statistical outlier)
Tennessee Tech 89
Auburn 98
Kentucky 77
GT 183
Texas A&M 78
So wait a minute. Besides Florida, all of his highest rushing totals were against some of the worst defenses in the SEC and the country (GT and A&M)..
But if you go over to the dawg forums, everybody says Washaun is gonna win the Heisman this year!!! I mean, he’s better than Ingram!
Or maybe he does well against bad defenses, and mediocre against medium to good ones . . .

Cut the crap JB. You had no passing threat after the Kentucky game. Cox became a turnover machine, and was basically transformed into a handoff machine to the running back. That’s all he did from that point on. Even if Green had been in the game, do you really think you woulda aired it out like you did the previous week? The coaches had ZERO faith in Cox after the Kentucky game.

I don’t understand the insults that are coming the way of Georgia Tech via Georgia fans. It seems to me the talk is how could Tech possibly be better than last year when they lost four of their best players? If I’m not mistaken, Georgia lost their best defensive player from last year, and their starting quarterback. Georgia Tech lost only one person from their offensive line, which any college football fan would know is a crucial element to the offense. On the offensive side of the ball, Georgia Tech is stronger, faster, and more comfortable with the offense. Defensively, yes, the loss of Derrick Morgan and Morgan Burnett hurt, but their not irreplaceable. The switch to the 3-4 actually works in the favor of Georgia Tech, being that they had 2 linebackers last year that barely even saw the field in Kyle Jackson and Cooper Taylor.
Also, Georgia fans, if you think off the bat Aaron Murray is going to be any better than Joe Cox was last year than you are sadly mistaken. This guy has never even taken a snap in a college football game and if I didn’t know better I’d think he already won the Heisman. Come one guys, let’s be realistic here. Your game is going to be on the ground, and quite frankly, the only time I saw that game come alive last year was against two at best mediocre defenses in Georgia Tech and Texas A&M.
All I’m saying is that I don’t expect an undefeated season out of either of these teams, but best case scenario I do see Georgia Tech having a shot at the ACC Championship, but I don’t see Georgia having a shot, being that they do play in the SEC. The SEC is always tough, and Georgia doesn’t have the depth or the experience to win in that league this year.

Does anyone want to explain what it is that makes UGA fans “delusional” as Tech fans say? Is it that in the CMR era UGA won the East 3 times, the SEC championship 2 times, played in 3 BCS bowl games (2-1), finished (not began) in Top 10 6 times including a #2 and #3 finish? Or could it be because CMR ranks 3rd in win percentage of all active coaches who have coached a minimum of 100 games? Could it be that it’s because UGA has one of the most dedicated and loyal fan bases as evidenced by merchandise sales every year? Is it that UGA routinely has one of the most profitable athletic departments, if not the most profitable, substantiated again by these “delusional” fans who donate to the UGA Educational Enhancement Fund? Or is it a combination of all of the above? Obviously, UGA fans have nothing to be proud of.
Tech fans constantly point to 2008 in which UGA started #1 but finished #10, and deem that season as a titanic-like disaster. Do you realize that even in that season UGA finished with a higher ranking than Tech did this season? It just seems like facts and logic are conveniently left out of many of these arguments.

I gotta also include this – since you OBVIOUSLY know nothing about college football. Iowa was a great team. They lead the Big 10, undefeated, throughout most of the season until their starting QB got injured. Only then did they lose a couple of games which knocked them out of the Rose Bowl and into the Orange Bowl. However, that starting QB returned for the bowl. That Iowa team was actually in the run for national champtionship game with that starting QB healthy.

in 2008 on a Thursday night, our football team in our coaches first year was beating the hell out of a nationally ranked team, Miami, while the space shuttle was flying over the stadium just moments earlier with 2 GT alumni aka NASA astronauts aboard. “The Institute” has plenty to be proud of that they can excel in both academics and athletics. If sports is all you got at inbredville, then good luck and God help CMR if he loses a couple this season.

to Jeff and others on this blog: Miami has always had outstanding talent, that will never change, in spite of it GT has managed to find a way to win in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. As for the comment about where are GT’s new signees? I admit I am not that crazy about the new recruiting coordinator only because I do not believe in hiring someone that was fired somewhere else as McCollum was at Mid Tn St. It never seems to be the missing link to a football team. I do not see Brad Scott helping Clemson out nor Chuck Amato back at FSU. What did they accomplish? Nothing
I do however take offense at the ugags calling Groh names when you had Larry Munson 80 years old and Loran Smith who also has to be pushing 75 but thinks this is only 5 years past the national title in 1980. You are all living in the past.

Jeff,
Good points,except the UGA and Iowa teams last year were in no way inferior. They flat out manhandled Tech and were the better teams. Last year’s Tech team wouldn’t have won 8 games in the SEC or probably even the Big 10 last year.

Oh, but Clarification, Reality and his friends all say that Georgia is soooooooooooooo overrated and sooooooooooooooooo overexposed and they all moaned and groaned last year about what a ‘crappy bowl opponent’ they drew and how as ACC champs you got ‘no respect because we got stuck with Iowa’.
They are often very hypocritical and two-faced, Clarification… you know and I know that Tech would be lucky to be 7-5 every year if they had to play in the SEC. Give Georgia a schedule with Duke, Virginia, UNC, Wake and NC State every year, we’d go 11-1 hands down.
Thanks for understanding college football… it’s something that Reality has yet to grasp.

Oh and Reality, you said this: “In fact, if the ONLY thing you have to hang your hat on is a win in ONE game of football with us and/or in ONE game of baseketball, well that is just plain sad!”
Then how come the ONLY thing Tech fans EVER hang their hat on is a win over Georgia once every decade or so???
Let’s face it Reality… head to head, Georgia OWNS your team in every sport across the board, and has for 40 years.
I try to root for both schools, I really do, but fans like Reality make it AWFULLY hard. Most of you Tech fans are fine, I respect your passion… idiots like Reality make you look bad, though.

Could care less what the Georgia fans on this blog have to say, I think this was all done in good fun. And I too have a good feeling about this team. I think Paul Johnson will actually improve as more players that fit in his system mature. There is no doubt that he likes to mix it up and his offensive gameplan may benefit from not having to focus on getting superstars like Dwyer/Bebe enough touches. I think our offense will be a little less predictable and god knows the defense can’t get any worse. Go Jackets!
Jeff

GT Alum — well said. Your defense let you down in a lot of games last year (as did our UGA defense). I think the key for CPJ is to adjust his offense every year. Mix in more “non option” material, because every kid you recruit from here on out may not have option experience. A lot of kids come from spread sets and pro-style offenses in high school… don’t miss out on a top recruit because he may not be a perfect fit for a 100% option team.
And, IMHO, I think Johnson could also use a little more humility and less bravado… he talks a big game but he has never been a consistent 11-1, top-five, BCS-game-every-year coach. Let’s wait five years and build a track record at Tech before he talks a lot of smack.
I said it before and I’ll say it again… most Tech fans have a lot of class and passion and I wish them success EXCEPT in the final game of the year vs. UGA.

And Jeff, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Tech could go 8-4 in the SEC consistently, and 9-3 better years. Easy wins over Vandy, MSST, MS, ARK, KY and toss ups with Auburn, GA, and SC (this year). Notice I never said Tech could beat Alabama, Florida, or LSU consistently.

if ga tech played ole miss, KY and ARK most years, they would lose 75 percent of the time. the only teams you would beat 80 percent of the time from the SEC is vandy and miss st..the rest would whip ga tech musch like UGA does year in and year out. just way too much talent in the SEC for tech.

techs football team is getting worse. PJ is filling your team with DIV 1aa talent. i dont see how most of you tech fans cant be upset about this. the writing is on the wall. your coach never played football past grade school and he runs an high school offense that any good football player that wants to go pro would not want to be a part of. sorry guys but tech might win 6 or 7 this year and if nesbitt goes down,which could easily happen since the qb in that offense gets hit every play and gets hits hard.

” the UGA basketball teams (women AND men) beat Tech this year, and pretty much have consistently done so over the last few years… that UGA finished second in the SEC overall team sport standings this past year… that UGA has won multiple national championships in a lot of sports including golf, tennis, baseball, etc… and that Georgia has infinitely more possibilities and advantages due to its varied academic programs, incredible fan support, large alumni base, huge donations and grants and scholarship funds, and a beautiful campus?
Tech has some things to be proud of, but overall, I think Georgia has more… personal opinion.”
Jeff, let me throw some facts out at you and we can go from there.
Georgia Tech has been ranked in baseball the past 10 years. In those years, they are 13-13 against in the Bulldawgs, with 2 CWS and 8 Regionals. They have 8 alumni currently in the MLB with 18 more in the Minors. In basketball, the Yellow Jackets are 5-7 over the past 12 years, going to the NCAA Tourny 5 times. Consistently is a good word for it. For basketball, home court advantage decides who wins. Baseball tends to be a toss up, especially with the way Tech (and on the other end of the scale, Georgia the 24-5 shelling was not easy to watch) has been playing year in and year out. To say that the University of Georgia is BETTER than Georgia Tech at these two respective sports is laughable at best. Especially in basketball considering the finishes of the two programs over the past ten years. As good? Possible (in baseball). The stats show it and head-to-head the Bulldawgs hold their own.
You say Georgia Tech has SOME things to be proud of? We have a lot to be proud of. In the past two years, we have gone 20-7 in the past two seasons with Paul Johnson as the head of our football program, which is a very refreshing thought. Our basketball program (though I’m not thrilled with the coach) is finally back in the NCAA Tournament after a three year drought. Our baseball program is ranked 6th in the nation and on schedule to do well in the Regionals. Our softball team just lost to a very good Oregon team in the Regionals and we have arguably the best player in the country in Jen Yee. Our men’s and women’s teams were just knocked out of their respective tournaments, with a couple individuals still competing (Irina Falconi is the overall number 1 seed). Finally, our golf team will be in the NCAA Championships in about a week.
You seem to be a bright, individual which is encouraging to say the least out of all the other trash that gets posted on here, and you post a good argument. The University of Georgia will always be better overall at athletics due to the nature of the schools (the few sports – baseball, softball, and we’ll throw in tennis as Tech has seemed to have turned the corner could be the exceptions here) allow the Bulldawgs to recruit a wider range of students who have a wider range of interests in their academic lifestyles. However, Georgia Tech is holding its own, and the rigor and course-load of the students DO play a part, and to me, it is impressive that Tech can do so with the small recruiting pool we have in Division I Athletics but still maintaining our stature as a prestigious research institution.

ATL XMAN – You say he’s recruiting Div 1 – FCS football talent, yet why are they all 3-4 star recruits? Granted, they are not 5 star caliber like the powerhouses of Florida and Texas, but to say he’s recruiting lesser talent is irrelevant. Tech has recruiting lesser talent year in and year out. Demaryius Thomas, Roddy Jones, and Cooper Taylor were all three star recruits. Some two stars include Philip Wheeler, Mansfield Wrotto, Adam Oliverr, Gary Guyton, and Vance Walker. Chris Reis, who plays for the Superbowl Winning Saints wasn’t even ranked when he was signed. I’m pretty sure they were all decent talent, no?

im talking div 1aa players…guys that would be playing at Ga southern and furman elon..etc etc..where you will have a handful of NFL players if they are lucky…rated 2 stars mostly. click on tech players that PJ recruited( not gailys recruits like dwyer and nesbitt and bey bey) on offense and see what teams are recruiting them.
PJ recruits on offrense are not 3 star recruits, at least at the positon he wants them to play. look and see how many 3 stars on offense he has recruited and let me know. im telling you, tech is getting worse and you will be able to tell this year and next year is a no doubter since all of gailys recruits will be gone..

you will see what im talking about when tech hits the field aginst the other teams. once they are next to the players from the other teams you wont be able to help to notice the difference in size. and when the whistle blows you will then see how much weaker tech div 1aa players are compared to the div 1 players that the rest off the acc and sec teams are throwing out there.
pj is trying to get the better players but his style of offense is preventing him to land them. not his fault though he only knows high school football. doesnt know how to run a pro style offense as he is a very simple man. did great at ga southern

ATL XMAN – A nice list for you of our recruits and whoC recruited them:
Denzel McCoy – Alabama, FSU, LSU, Miami, ND
Isaiah Johnson – Georgia, Ole Miss, Ok State
Morgan Bailey – Clemson, Georgia, Ole Miss
Ryan Ayers – Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, OU, Ok State
Shawn Green – FSU, Mich St, Ole Miss, Ok State
Anthony Williams – Auburn, FSU, LSU, Ole Miss
Jake Skole – FSU, Georgia, S. Carolina, Va Tech
Quayshawn Nealy – Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Ole Miss,
Louis Young – BC, Iowa, Va Tech, West Va.
Those are all some no name schools. And we recruited where we needed to recruit. The only changes being made is B.J. Bostic to A-Back and Synjyn Days to QB. Next argument sir. And last season, our offense wasn’t really the problem if my memory serves me right.

i’m not even gonna comment on the uga/iowa comparison further other than to state that EVERYONE else in the college football world disagrees with u, as evidenced by the final rankings at the end of the 2009 season: iowa 7th, uga unranked. with georgia tech 13th, for the record. these are the kinds of silly points i hope to no longer see on ajc blogs in the future…

ATL XMAN – That’s kind of the point of Paul Johnson’s offense? Smaller, quicker linemen in order to move with the runners, is it not? And how can someone be a 2 star compared to other teams players? Scout just doesn’t hand out rankings for nothing. They actually do mean something believe it or not. At least to the mind of the masses. A four star recruit is a four star recruit no matter how you slice it. You can’t downgrade someone else’s recruit because of what school he chooses to go to. Thats called ignorance my friend.

well i feel sorry for iowa.
it probably means a lot to them (and the rest of the universe) that an anonymous sports fan thinks iowa is slow. and it probably hurts their feelings a little bit.
all they have to comfort them is an orange bowl win and a ranking of 7th in the country vs a bloggers opinion that uga would have “crushed” them.
they will no doubt work harder to win your love in the future, xman.
would a 8-5 record and shreveport bowl trip be enough or do they actually need to hire CMR as their coach?

Again, our offense wasn’t the problem. We didn’t recruit for offense. But for the record, that leaves four.
And I would have liked to see UGA manhandle Iowa. Because as “slow” as you think they are, it doesn’t matter if you can’t get past their line. Adrian Clayborn? Yeah, he’s no pushover. And Iowa did was one of the nation’s leaders in INTs. Not sold on that argument either. But either way, UGA didn’t deserve to be there, so we’ll never know. Funny how that works, huh?

ATL XMAN – The real question is, are you following me? You make it sound like the option has never worked ever. Georgia from 2008 is a great example. Ohio State against Air Force this year.
It doesn’t work against the SEC and ACC? 20-7 in the past two years. They are 17-6 against the ACC/SEC combined.

as far as Iowa beating UGA..would never happen..at UGA that actually recruit players that are fast and strong. UGA can run through them and around them. plus Iowas defense would have had big time match up problems with uga fast running back and receivers to worry about where tech played to Iowas strength. the defline was living in the backfield of tech all game. tech never really had a chance that game. only if the iowa qb through an pick 6.

all you tech fans have to do is match up a recruit that is recruited by PJ to play on the offense. compare their weight, height and overall high school career to any of the UGA recruits that richt recruited or any other SEC or ACC team recruited and look how much the talent level drops and difference in weight and height. your guys will need to be redhirted 2 years before they can even hang with those guys so they wont get seriously injured while playing them. the offlinemen he has coming in are giving up 20 to 30 pounds or more. their quickness wont help as they wiil get flatten by the bigger quicker defensive linemen.pj qb’s are either too short and lite or too tall and skinny. bothe types will get get crushed from them beating OJ qb”s take every play. his running backs are mostly converted corners or qbs that are too dumb to play quarterback. and again are just too little to take the beating that dwyer took the past two years every play. even when the running back didnt have the ball. that no fun at all. Ga tech is in trouble starting this year..they might win 8 ganes but next year i will be surprised if they win 6 as they only play few div 1aa teams.
