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.

@ George……if you find a job like that (one requiring no work), can you hire me as your assistant? LOL

We just intercepted a linebacker. I never thought I’d write that.

My son is a volunteer coach for kickers and punters at a high school and also trained an NC State kicker who went on the play for the Detroit Lions

I’m not disputing the validity of your post, butt hasn’t Jason Hanson kicked for the Lions since the Reagan Administration?

@ billyho……what you don’t realize, and probably don’t care about, is that several of us posting on here today are personal friends, and others are on the blog email list. If you showed any class at all, you might be invited to join our little group also. But I don’t see that happening based on your attitude today. Your loss

@ DawgNole…….I have to hand it to you. I don’t remember having good thoughts about you in the past (although I may be confusing you with somebody else), but you have been a class act today, and I for one really appreciate that.

Just what “other blogs” is billyho posting on? The Georgie blogs maybe?? And he has yet to be man enough to even acknowledge my questions/comments to him. So I will be the bigger/better man and say, “If my joke offended you (in reference to “crabs”), then I apologize & say I’m sorry”. That is all that got you riled up. A silly little old joke of a comment that you TOOK as an insult. SHEESH.

@ Slovak. I’ve read that if he comes back next year, he’ll be a Heisman candidate. We’ve beat him two straight, but it was probably more our ability to score early than anything else. I suspect it will be a very tough win to get on the road. However, they are not a good defensive team and we should score at will. may come down to special teams and turnovers or who has the ball last.

SS,
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM THE ONE WITH THE ATTITUDE… OH OK BUT IT’S OK FOR YOU TO CONSISTENTLY ATTACK ME OVER SOMETHING SO SMALL AND STUPID AS “CAPS LOCKS!” SORRY, BUT, IF YOU ARE THAT PETTY I DO NOT CARE TO JOIN YOUR LITTLE GROUP! I’M NOT A FOLLOWER MY FRIEND!

I believe UNC is into 20 in defending the run. Check it out.

Well, I hope you don’t get riled up about my next post that you see. And yes, that’s all it was. A silly sarcastic joke. Sarcasm has been a mainstay of many a good joke forever.

Just flashed on screen that Bernard leads nation in all-purpose ids, and is third in nation in rushing. Second in yds/carry at 7.3. I think their QB is good as well. I don’t think we have beaten Bernard but once, since he is only a soph.

@ ARdawg…….the UGA D has not been consistent this year, but I don’t think they are anywhere near as bi-polar as Tech’s is. I don’t think UGA’s D has been BAD, but Tech’s sure has been
