Tech uniforms: ‘A lot of things in the pipeline’

“Golf ball” is exactly what I thought of when I saw the picture. Stick with traditional uniforms (I personally prefer the Navy Blue and Gold like the 1990 team wore). we all saw how absolutely retarded UGA looked last season in thier underoo’s at the dome (I don’t know how Boise State’s players could even focus they were laughing so hard!!) — why even go down that road. Last time I checked an ugly uniform doesn’t make you play better.

Pretty cool re: Unis…. Adds to the pre-game BUZZ!!!

GT unis have traditionally been some of the best. Dallas Cowboys copied them (true. check it out).

Good to stay with the trend of experimenting a bit. Gets the players hyped. Good… so be it.

Traditional ones will always be with us (don’t worry traditionalists….take a deep breath).

That said, the unis will have ABSOLUTELY no impact on how the game is played Monday night.

The goal is GT WIN. Don’t care what they wear really. Just WIN!

GO JACKETS!!!!

Why don’t the jackets wear the same old gold helmet and jazz it up with a red jersey and pants that have one black leg and one green leg?

Or more simply, why fix it if it ain’t broke?

Since when does the age of the fan determine whether or not something will be liked or not – and that goes for the type offense and defense run by new coaches to the style of the uniform / helmet? Change is NOT always a good thing as evidenced by the Georgia and Maryland teams uniform options over the past few years. And, since when does the style / color of the uniform aide in the recruiting process? I seriously doubt anyone can name a single player who chose a school based on it’s “cool” uniform and color schemes. When the Athletic Association and/or coaching staff of any school feels there needs to be a “change” – try starting with what’s INSIDE the uniform and how they play. Try spending that same money addressing the won/loss record, try spending that same money addressing the attendance for home games where at times more fans attend for the opposition than your own team. Folks talk about the Oregon team uniforms mainly because – Oregon is a winner. Folks talk about Maryland uniforms mainly because there hasn’t been much else to talk about. You think the combat type uniform helped Georgia to defeat Boise last year? Ya think there might be a reason why 98% of all other colleges maintain the uniform they’ve worn for years?

I’m Not against change – I’m all for becoming the best you can be without resorting to gimmicks to divert attention away from focusing on that task. Once we begin to play like / win like Oregon – then let’s think about changing uniforms. Until then coaches, players and fans shouldn’t be debating new uniforms.

I agree that new uniforms will not affect the quality of play on the field. I don’t think high school kids pick schools because of the uniform either. However, I do think that “cool” uniforms are an attraction for recruits, just like indoor practice facilities. While I appreciate the traditions at GT, I also like to think that we can push the envelope every now and then just like we do academically and professionally.

Another thing to think about: Schools don’t just recruit football players, they also recruit students. Marketing the school in this way helps recruiting for both. If it pisses off a few alumni in the process then tough luck. Not everyone can be happy.

@Birmingham Jacket

The thing with WnE has nothing to do with opinions. C’mon man, you’re smart enough to figure that out.

If CPJ keeps Tech at 8-5 until he finds his Tommy Frazier, well, that’s more wins than losses.

Think about it- how does the O’Leary regime look without Joe Hamilton. Really, think about it.

Football is, and will always be, a primarily QB driven game. There are exceptions, but they’re rare.

Why else are Aaron Rogers and Drew Brees the elite of the elite? There’s a reason the recruiting sites take down/hide their analysis of certain players after awhile.
_______________

Do you realize how you sound?

After CPJ first 2 yrs. with CHAN’s recruits many GT fans were saying we’d be playing for MNCs in years 4 & 5 when CPJ got “his hand-picked Recruits for his system”.

Here we are going into yr. 5 and now those same fans that talked of MNCs are now talking like you saying they’ll be happy with 8-5 seasons and “close losses to UGA”.

Please explain what CPJ did to LOWER YOUR DREAMS so much?

If our collective fanbase has to LOWER their expectations of GT FB that much then one must ask, is CPJ the right man to lead GT FB?

BTW you can’t just remove Joe Ham from GOL’s legacy because GOL busted his butt and beat out Nebraska and RECRUITED him to GT along with other pretty good players, GOL held up the RECRUITING part of his job and it paid dividends.

Also , both Aaron Rogers & Drew Brees (Cal & Purdue) were both academic qualifiers for GT, when will GT get their version of those types of dynamic passers to play at GT, we haven’t had a 50% passer since Godsey played over a decade ago.

And based on CPJ ’s recruiting we might not have one (50% passer) for another decade, unless of course we make some changes, if you know what I mean.

I’m not bashing Paul Johnson but it’s pretty apparent what’s happened at Tech since he arrived. He inheritied a team fairly stocked with NFL-caliber talent. Johnson, Richard, Morgan, Dwyer, Burnett, etc. He ran that tank dry the first two years. Since those guys left, Johnson’s ran about .500, and Tech hasn’t exactly played tough schedules. Hell, he couldn’t even beat one of the worst Georgia teams in years (2009) with a lot of those players still around.

I think Johnson’s a better on-the-field coach than Gailey was, but O’Leary and Ross were the best coaches Georgia Tech has had in my lifetime.

@ dwagfan…….I do hope you realize that UGA was not the first team in the country to have a blackout, and certainly not the first team in the country to have funky uniforms. So whom did UGA copy? Well, for the blackout, UGA copied FSU, who did it in 2006 against BC; there may have been others before them. But, lest you forget, FSU is an ACC SCHOOL !!! OMG, the horror of it…..UGA had to copy an ACC school. What is the world coming to? As far as funky uniforms, try another ACC school…..MARYLAND, plus the likes of Oregon and a few others. So much for anything original coming out of the cesspool of the south. Now go back to inspecting CMR’s poo, like a good little homer

HRST – I guess we can agree to disagree. I was at the school in the Curry/Ross era, so we are probably around the same age.

I was at the UGA games in each of those years you sited as well as last year. Defense and special teams put us into those positions and we were a dropped pass away in 2010, which I was sitting right in front of, heartbreaking. CPJ’s one-trick pony put up quite a few yards and points in each of those games, both of which should have been enough to win if the defense had performed. 2011 was a different story.

In any event, I do not think the uniforms were a factor in any of those games or any other games.

I still think we ought to be traditional at home and give the kids some leeway on the road.

2011: UGA wears the Nike Pro Combat uniforms in its first game of the season in front of a national television audience.

2012: Tech wants Russel Pro Combat uniforms in its first game of the season in front of a national television audience. Another strange coincidence.

Those are the facts that you cannot possibly deny. I also recall that all the “Whiteout” talk only started up after UGA’s successful forays with the “Blackout” in 2007. Just a lot of funny coincidences there Supersize.

UGA certainly didn’t come up with the name “blackout.” Again, you COPIED an ACC school. 2012, Tech hasn’t even taken the field yet, and NOBODY, EVEN YOU, knows what uniforms Tech will be wearing.

“Since Demaryius Thomas (who Johnson inherited) left, the passing game has been garbage”.

Demaryius Thomas was a 3-star WR prospect not widely recruited. He redshirted in 2006 and was a backup in 2007. CPJ didn’t inherit the 1st WR taken in the 2010 NFL Draft…he helped him discover his potential.

“When Tech gets in third-and-long they might as well punt”

When any offense gets into 3rd a long they might as well punt. That down-and-distance doesn’t bode well for any offense to get 1st down. By the way, GT was 2nd in the ACC in 3rd down conversion.

You know, facts that many people love to ignore while they spew the same illogical narrative of the Triple Option.
________________

More lies from the CPJ BLTs!

Bey Bey was highly recruited, he was Recruited by both Clemson & Auburn and had firm offers to both schools, that makes you highly Recruited in the South.

He was expected to “out-grow” the WR position and might have grown into a TE, that is why he was a 3* instead of a 4* Recruit many HCs were undecided about his true position in college.

Saying that Bey-Bey was lightly Recruited and “made” by CPJ is yet another lie that the CPJ apologists spout to make CPJ look better than he really is.

Bey-Bey got drafted because he was 6-3 235lbs and ran a 4.38 forty, not because of anything that CPJ did, or that his “system” did to help him.

The odds of getting a first down on 3rd and 15 is like 1 in 50 for gt. That’s why they rarely beat good teams.

I have to agree with WnE on one point. I am not satisfied with going 8-5 every year. I have slammed WnE for some of his post but when he’s right he’s right. There is absolutely no reason any true GT fan should be satisfied with 8-5 every! We play in one of the weakest conferences in the country, the Institution has a deep tradition of fielding great football teams, we should be dominating our conference and competing for National Championships. And I don’t want to hear any of that crap about “it’s too hard to recruit because of our academic standards” either. Standford seems to be getting it done and their standards are way up there. On the other hand, I won’t pass judgement on what CPJ has done or not done when it comes to recruiting. I think we will all have a pretty good idea about what kind of team this will be Monday night.

Always remember that when a proven UGA fan (WnE) comes on your blog and pretends to be a GT fan and tries to tell you why you should fire your coach, that probably means he’s doing a good job and that GT would have a difficult time getting a better coach. Hell, I’ll admit right now (without pretending to be a UGA fan) that I wish UGA would fire Mark Richt. It would really help GT’s recruiting in Georgia and there is always a chance that UGA brings in a Ray Goof or Jim “Pyramid Scheme” Donnan type of coach.

I’ve highlighted the “WnE Manifesto” on here many times, to where you’ll never be happy with CPJ unless he…

1) Goes 12-0 against the best teams in those opponents’ recent histories
2) Is perenially ranked in the top-10 in Recruiting rankings
3) Has every single one of his players get drafted by the NFL
4) Has every single one of his players graduate with Engineering degree.

What a effin’ dolt!

Your head is so far up CPJ’s @$$ that you can’t see the obvious!

At on point CPJ had these 3 WRs at GT on the same team:

D. Thomas 6-3 235lbs. 4.38 forty future NFL 1st round draft pick

S. Hill 6-4 195lbs.(at the time) 4.36 forty future NFL 2nd round draft pick

K. Cone 6-2 210lbs. (former 400m track guy) 4.37 forty future NFL player via Free agency

With those 3 TALL, FAST WRs on the team at the smae time CPJ never played all 3 at the same time and never avg. more than 13 passes per game during that season that they were together.

If CPJ were really the Offensive “genius” that folks like you make him out to be, should he have passed the ball more to take advantage of all that future NFL talent?

The truth is CPJ could care less about maximizing talent, what he does care about more than maximizing talent is proving to the “world that his system works”.

People use the underutilization claim against CPJ because he MAKES IT EASY for people to make that claim based on his own questionable actions.

Chan gets ripped a new one repeatedly for under utilizing Calvin, but CPJ gets a totally FREE PASS for under utilizing 3 future NFL WRs on the same team at the same time.

The truth is ,is that CPJ has under utilized 3 future NFL WRs that had great measurables and could have been better college players at GT.

When you make posts like the one above defending CPJ’s poor decisions, you make it very easy for me to make you look silly in a public forum.

Why is it that GT fans like you have no problem with the Baseball team or the basket ball team wearing Blue as a major part of their Uni and not just as an “accent color” for trim etc.?

BTW, the B-Ball team under Cremins wore all blue over 20 yrs. while Kenny Anderson (I think I’m correct) was still here.

Also Blue makes a much better 3rd color than does black, also in a MNC year under Boss Ross we wore blue Jerseys with White pants and that was over 20 years ago also.

You would not believe how the club is growing. We had to move the meetings from the IHOP to the Western Sizzlin because of the crowds.

We love Paul Johson in Athens. Don’t you guys ever fire him.

Ignor the fact that he cannot recruit at the 1A level. I mean face it, ever since Chan Gaileys players left, the only decent guys you have had are the ones that transferred in because they wanted to be closer to home – or were run off by their origional schools.

Yep, Paul Johnson will soon have Tech as the strongest 1AA team in America. You might even venture to schedule Georgia Southern without the fear of being beat.

We sort of look at Paul Johnson as the coaching equivalent of Reggie Ball at Tech. And you know how much we revere Reggie.

Reggie!!! Reggie!! Reggie!!

So you guys take good care of Paul Johnson because we want him in Atlanta for a loooong time.

Sincerely, your fellow Paul Johnson fans in Athens.

The Tax Policy Center breaks down that last number a bit further: There are 78,000 non-paying units in the top 95th to 99th income percentile, 24,000 in the top 1 percentile, and 3,000 in the top tenth of a percentile.

This group has a nickname, too: they’re the HINTs, for high income, no taxes.

These might be people who get their income from tax-exempt bonds or overseas sources, as CNN reported last year.

Or they might be people who have incurred losses from partnerships or S Corporations. Or people who have run up “extraordinary” medical or dental bills. As The Fiscal Times noted in December, these are other ways to realize one’s HINT status.”

@ w w w …. I am a middle-class American living on a pension which I earned after 33 years of employment and social security into which I was FORCED to pay TAXES every one of those 33 years. My gross income is just at modest but sufficient, certainly nothing to brag about. I have a limited number of investments in IRA’s into which I voluntarily deposited money during my employment years. According to you, I should not be voting for Romney, but I would vote for ANYBODY over that socialist POS in the White House now. He inherited a mess from Bush and instead of living up to his promise to get us out of the mess, he has dug the hole even deeper. He has not accomplished one damn thing for me or anybody else in this country, other than the unions, in four years, and it’s time to get his ass out of there. Even Newsweek magazine, a decidedly liberal publication, agrees.

Take that helmet and all other new ideas that are similar and stick them in the pipeline and seal it like Obama’s records, never meant to come out.
