This GT team might be the worst offensive team I have ever seen at GT. Danier Miller’s fade away shots are our best offensive play.

You are RIGHT GTBob! UGA Football is terrible! I hate winning 10 or more games almost every year. Would you like some stats when it comes to UGA vs. Tech in football?

Once in 3 years is not almost every year and you only got 10 wins because you played the weakest schedule in SEC history. If your team ever beats a ranked team again let me know.

Oh for fun, why not. Techs wins over the last 10 years:
2002 – 7
2003 – 7
2004 – 7
2005 – 7
2006 – 9
2007 – 7
2008 – 9
2009 – 11
2010 – 6
2011 – 8
Last bowl win December 21, 2004 in the Champs Sports Bowl. I guess I get it now why Tech fans are happy with 8 or 9 wins when that happens in a season.

The final score flattered GT – they never looked like winning the game. Having said that, they never quit and played hard in the 2nd half.
GT really needs a PG.

How silly was Mark Bradley’s comment that Gregory’s hiring was better than Haith’s hiring at Mizzou . Mizzou is top five in the country and just went to Waco and beat #3 Baylor. Gt can’t beat an average Clemson team. Clemson is NIT bound if they are lucky.

We shoot ourselves in the foot too much. Turnovers 20+, poor free throw shooting and early on the poor shot selection. It seemed much better when they were trying to run set pieces. The last 5 minutes showes what they are capable of doing. I also do not like the high picks with the center. We don’t run the pick and roll well enough to have him out of position when someone shoots the ball and we don’t get the board.
And to my UGA basketball buddies, both programs have nothing to brag about right now.

It seems fairly obvious to me that it’s time to “let Glen Rice be Glen Rice.” The rest of the GT guys feed off his offense. Also, playing more pressure defense outside frees up Miller to play good defense away from the basket. He alters passes as well as shots.

Tech needs to get back to the shorter uni shorts. Where is it written that the standard uni shorts for all colleges have to be bermuda short, below the knees length? In the old days Tech had gold stripes, not black, on their shorts, and they also wore belts sometimes- gold ones. Here Daniel Miller transfers from Geogia to flee the red and black, and this year has to wear double black side stripes on the uni gym shorts to remind him of Georgia first, then Tech second.

Steve, GT’s record of wins per year that you point out isn’t bad considering that GT only has a fraction of the talent that GA has–every year. GT seems to get more from their talent than
GA does—just saying——
Realistically
January 21st, 2012
6:54 pm
Merlyn, gt plays a much lighter schedule, its the ACC vs SEC and there is no comparison. Tech plays a SEC schedule it doesn’t have many winning seasons.If tech got more from the talent it would win more than 15 games in 5.5 DECADES.

Nice effort late. Was actually a great game to watch in the 2nd. However, what I saw was another flat start. The burst was nice, but I have a hard time believing CBG is any better than Hewitt. Preperation and intensity is the responsibility of the Coach. CBG and the Tech team start out as though they would all rather sleep in. This guy is gone after next season.

why is that when one the techies gets injured, it’s never disclosed, but when a Georgia player is injured there is an indebt bialogical breakdown on where, what, and how. Then it’s reported on day after day for months..like Sturdivant. What the story here? When the yellow blowflys and Dukies get to Tallahassee they’re really gonna get scalped..there is a new sheriff in town and he’s a Swminole…sweet!

Dayton hasn’t played this well since way back in 2010 when they won the NIT. Or is it back in 2009 when they started out 7-1 in the A-10?

Yeah… 2010 when in pre-season they were a “lock” to win the A-10 (finished 7-9) AND be in the NCAA playoffs… relegated to the NIT. BG can attract talent, and the key to his teams play is consistency… consistently mediocre. Watch the last two minutes of his teams’ play in a close game… they have no idea what to do with the ball. You’ll see…

coach gregory, lets not mistake dayton or the dayton area as a plum of academias or a bastion of economic stability. dayton ohio is one of the worst areas of blight in this country. which i fully blame on the republicans of this state.
while i love my home state of ohio lets not mistake dayton, the conference dayton belongs to or the area for atlanta gt and the acc. the last coach at dayton before gregorey was also a non factor once he left.
i for one think that the draw of the acc, atlanta and the gt will offset any defficiences that coach gregory has.
one only compare his stats to those of coach k while at army and early on at duke to see that w and l are not all that they are made out to be. could be that coach g and gt are a perfect fit.
only time will tell.
