First observations – A well-placed bye, after the fifth game. … Six of the first eight games are at home, including four in a row in September, and then three of the last four are on the road, including at Georgia. … With three Coastal Division games in the first four weeks, Tech’s ACC titles hopes could well be in terrific shape, or dashed, before the end of September. … Duke plays Tech after its bye week, which I think it also did this past season. North Carolina will also get Tech after the bye.
Thanks for reading.

I want to go to Darlington. The way Nascar is going they will take it off ten track before to long.
I never been to Bristol want to go. I just the the new progressive banking they put in. I like it when there was just 1 lane and they bumped and run all night.

only thing to breathe in bristol is carbon monoxide. tight enclosed track and steeper than neyland as i said before. funny to have mentioned it and it turns into a nascar blog. maybe the bees and pups can agree on something after all.

6-6. Loses to Va Tech, Clemson, UNC, Miami, UGA. 3-1 vs. Maryland, BYU, Virginia, & BC. Favorable schedule except for the road trips to VT, UGA, and Clemson. I could see 8-4 if passing game improves, but I just don’t see any better than 3rd in the Coastal. Defense, special teams, and passing game must improve in order to compete with the top level programs.

We all agree that Kurt Busch sucks!!!
Short track racing on a Saturday night at Bristol is heaven. You don’t need oxygen.

oxygen at races and football games is called Jim Daniel’s.
62 laps down Damn 48 will win the bet, but she is on the track and JJ is already in the hauler and headed home.

The yellow blowflys will be 1 and 5 in the first 6 weeks and maybe 2 wins after that.

The only thing I wish to happen is GT win at least 6 games, get to a bowl game, AND WIN A BOWL GAME! Those are my only expectations at this point, and until they can actually win a bowl game, these will always be my expectations. It’s sour grapes, but baby steps…..

WOW look at the Tech dorks on here “blogging” about NASCAR. Talk about not having a life!!! I mean I know you can’t get a woman but at least go to a sports bar if you want to watch cars go in circles all night.

If you think it’s just driving around in circles, you aren’t very smart.

And what would Ron’s reason be for coming on a Tech blog where the MEN are actually talking about sports? Could it be that he is just another little dwaggie girlie boy? That would be my bet.

Careful, 48. You’ll be a Jackets fan before you know and you’ll be wearing a Tech hat whether you lose the bet or not.
