Live blog: Georgia Tech-Maryland
Greetings –
A few thoughts on Georgia Tech-Maryland.
1. Obviously, how Maryland quarterback Shawn Petty can do is going to have a large impact on the outcome. Look for Georgia Tech to stick just about everybody in the box.
2. Tevin Washington will start. I’d guess both play a lot in the first half.
3. Kind of breezy. That could mean less passing than normal for both sides. This game could be over in 2:45.
4. Don’t know if you saw it, but Miami may self-impose a bowl ban to pacify the NCAA. Story from the Sun-Sentinel here. If that happens – Miami won’t make an announcement until it becomes bowl eligible – it would mean that if Tech wins today and Virginia Tech loses this Thursday to Florida State, the Jackets would control their own destiny in the Coastal Division. Crazy.
5. Tiny crowd. Maryland won’t get much of a lift at home, it doesn’t appear.

Has there been a TampaGator sighting since last weekend?

Very, very few since he got laughed off the blog last Sunday after posting how poor calls by the refs were key to their loss to UGA.

@ atlxmen…….UNC AT Chapel Hill worried me before the season. They STILL worry me, no matter what happens today.

@ W & G….That game would not have been vacated, since the supposed infraction occurred prior to the ACCC game

@ George…..3 – 2 ??? WOW, I don’t remember that one. It HAD to be ugly. Ugliest Tech – UGA game I ever saw was 1969 win by Tech 6 – 0 in Atlanta. Ugly but SWEET !!!!

Supe — that’s affirmative.
Aubie won 3-2.
I think it was in Tubberville’s last season at Aubie.

@ billyho…..thanks for the info. I saw the movie, but I don’t remember that. I still don’t understand though why you insist on typing in caps. We have asked you nicely to stop, because it is an annoyance. By continuing to do so implies that you are arrogant and don’t really give a damn what people think about you. Are you really content with giving that impression? Just click off the SHIFT LOCK key. WILL YOU DO THAT????

Oljack — Sal will get his revenge.
He’s done in Knoxville(deservedly so).
Kirby’s heading to Arky & Saban will bring Sal back as our DC.

it wouldnt take shine off the fla win..uga also blew out mizzou…if you play that game then you also have to say notre dames wins have no shine at all . the wins against mich and mich st and also okl ..all have struggled against very weak teams…that fact is uga beat at the time the number 2 team in the country and only loss was to the number 5 team…
________________________
Not saying I wouldn’t still treasure last week’s win–regardless of what fla does today–but a loss by the gators to Mizzou would definitely be perceived nationally as meaning that UGA’s win over them last week wasn’t all that after all.

Billyho….& you got so bent out of shape over something as trivial as that & a joke comment that you were threatening/challenging & calling someone probably twice (or more) your age foul names? Just how do figure that name billyho should be so memorable to everyone else? Especially since they have never seen that movie & probably wouldn’t recall such a thing anyway. Do you blow up @ your bosses like that when you make a mistake @ work & they criticize you?

@ GT…….you need to remember that MD supposedly has one of the top rushing D’s in the ACC. They didn’t stop Tech today (or haven’t yet), so yes, CPJ has a right to be proud.

SOMEWHERE A MAN OR WOMAN CAN COME AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN ANY MANNER THEY FEEL NECESSARY AS TO HAVE “FUN!” WE AS A NATION HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF ISSUES THAT ARE MORE PRESSING THAN A MAN USING ALL CAPS! IT IS THE WAY I COMMENT AND IF IT OFFENDS ANYONE I AM SINCERELY SORRY! I’M NOT YELLING, IT ONLY LOOKS THAT WAY AND I CANNOT FAULT ANYONE WHO THINKS I AM YELLING! LIKE I STATED BEFORE, THIS IS A BLOG…A PLACE WHERE A MAN OR WOMAN CAN COME TO UNWIND AFTER A LONG DAY OR WEEK! ARROGANCE IS INSISTING YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CORRECTLY COMMENTS! COME ON MAN, I’M JUST TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN IN THE PROCESS! I’M SORRY BUT I REFUSE TO ALTER MY STANCE ON THIS ISSUE BC “I AM JUST HAVING SOME FUN WITH THIS!”

Anyone remember the one and only quick slant we ran at WF to win. It was Nesbitt, but I don’t remember who caught the pass. Under center, no slots, man coverage……….geez, run the quick slant. Am I missing something?

Sorry, but Vad looks much better than TW. The team looks better behind him also and the pass threat is real.
