Predictions: Tech wins, Birds lose, Tebow — you still here?

week14

“Hey. It’s me, Tiger. I need a really big favor. Can you PLEASE delete that Georgia Tech pick off your answering machine? Just replace it with another Notre Dame loss. OK? Nobody will notice. Quickly. Thanks.”

Before closing out this fiscal season with even more near-flawless projections, we have actual breaking news that doesn’t involve a 3-iron wielding Swedish runway model or 78 percent of the world’s apparently eligible females, including maybe the one who just cleared your dishes and the rest of your patty melt in alley No. 12.

This comes from Marietta, Ohio, where workers at a Goodwill store opened an antique metal water jug that had been donated and found several bags of marijuana with a value of $1,500.

Michael Vick spends a lot of time just watching.

Michael Vick spends a lot of time just watching.

Nobody knows  if this means the person donating the marijuana will now claim a $1,500 tax deduction, or he’s too depressed to think about it. But Marietta officials have since noticed a significant increase in consumption of Doritos, microwave burritos and old couches.

You know, if only the Miami airport police could be brought in to investigate, I’m sure they can clear this whole thing up.

Which leads me to Michael Vick. (See? There’s always a transition.)

On Sunday, the remains of the Falcons face the Philadelphia Eagles and their famous backup quarterback, Michael Vick. Three months into his return, he’s still trying to break into double digits in attempted passes. I’m sure when Vick signed with the Eagles, his first goal was, “I hope I get to play as much as Chris Redman.”

Oy. Hopefully this game doesn’t turn into “West Side Story.” Maybe somebody brings a fake water jug and shares?

The Falcons are missing Matt Ryan, and probably Michael Turner. The Eagles are beat up themselves, but not to that extent. You can hope for a win and a playoff spot. But both are looking like long shots right now. About those pre-season projections. Can we just erase them off the machine?

Eagles cover 5 1/2.

“If I …Were The King .. Of The Fo-rest”

(Sing in Cowardly Lion voice)

OK, Urban. You have to let go now. Tim can't stay.

OK, Urban. You have to let go now. Tim can't stay.

SEC title: Florida vs. Alabama. It’s No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the nation for a conference title, which almost certainly means only one will play for the B(c)S title. More the reason why if we can’t have playoffs, let’s just go back to the old system when every Homer Simpson-looking bowl official in green or orange polyester begged schools to come visit the Podunk Bowl. Matchups were better and several teams were in the rankings race.

Where was I? Oh yes. Mike Slive Nirvana.

This is officially Tim Tebow’s final SEC game. It’s officially a day of prayer in Athens.

Something I can’t figure out. Florida has won 22 straight games. But most of the reviews this season can be boiled down to one word: feh. Question: If the Gators are mediocre at 12-0, what would they be if they were great? I know. Florida’s defense will be missing a sauced defensive end, Carlos Dunlap. But I can’t pull the trigger on an upset when this team hasn’t lost since the last time a Dogs fan said, “Great game plan, Willie.”

Prediction: Gators over Tide and they cover the 5 1/2.

After losing to Georgia, get the feeling Paul Johnson's isn't happy?

After losing to Georgia, get the feeling Paul Johnson's isn't happy?

ACC title: Georgia Tech vs. Clemson. Both teams are coming off losses. If the ACC is looking for a mascot, Schleprock would be a good start.

Tech coach Paul Johnson caught heat for cracking that if a Jacket fan is tired of getting razzed by a Georgia fan for last week’s loss, he should, “Punch him in the face.” But what did you expect him to say: “Thank you sir, may I have another”?

OK. So I missed on the Tech pick last week. But I gave you the upset special: South Carolina over Clemson. Here’s another lock: Dabo Swinney peaked at average. I did some research (go with it). That six-game winning streak that made everybody in Clemson forget momentarily that they lived in Clemson? Only one win came over an opponent that finished with a winning record. That was Miami, which lost in overtime and totaled 433 yards in offense.

The Jackets’ defense ain’t much. But I just don’t see the Tigers stopping Johnson’s offense. Nor can I bring myself to type the words, “outcoached by Dabo.” One ACC team has to bounce back, right?

Prediction: Jackets over Tigers and they cover the 1.

Conference USA title: Just kidding.

Big 12 title: Texas vs.  Nebraska. Mack Brown is a great coach and Texas is a great team, but giving up 39 points to 3-5 Texas A&M last week didn’t win the Big 12 any points. Nor will a conference title game with a 14-point spread — and a cover. Longhorns roll.

NFL Six Pack

(Drank one)

Patriots at Dolphins: Bill Belichick sleeps with a light on ever since the New Orleans game. But there’s a significant dropoff from Drew Brees to Chad Henne. Patriots cover 5 1/2.

Titans at Colts: I’m not sure where the turnaround from reported suicidal thoughts to five straight wins ranks on the comeback scale. But I’d have to think Vince Young at least qualifies for a George Romero film. (Kids: Google.)  Colts cover 6 1/2.

Saints at Redskins: I understand it’s tough for a Falcons’ fan to pull for the Saints. But think about this: Drew Brees (27 TD passes) vs. DeAngelo Hall. Now who are you pulling for? Subplot: New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, drop-kicked by Dan Snyder, is kind of motivated. Saints win and cover 9 1/2 (barely).

Cowboys at Giants: The Giants beat Dallas in September, ruining the opening of “Jerry World,” although nobody seemed to notice because they all were either staring at go-go dancers, drinking Cristal, buying $37 Keith Brooking bobblehead dolls (it only smacktalks after trades),

So is anybody watching the game?

So is anybody watching the game?

sitting in on a time-share seminar, complimenting Muffy on her new perfectly matched cosmetic twins (a two-point conversion?) and going blind looking at the video screen. OK. Enough deep analysis.  Cowboys cover 2.

Vikings at Cardinals: In the month of November, Brett Favre threw 12 touchdown passes with zero interceptions and had a quarterback rating of 129.4, give or take a bionic arm. He has killed my Fantasy team’s season, destroyed my belief in karma and makes me want to wear Wranglers. But I still wouldn’t mind if a real Viking clubbed him over the head.  Do they exist in  Scottsdale? Didn’t think so. Vikings cover 3.

I just want to see this beatdown that has been playing in my head day and night actually manifest itself in a glorious and utterly mind-blowing fashion this Saturday. I think I have crossed over into over-confidence for the first time this entire season. For no other game have I been so thoroughly convinced that we will win as this one…

On Saturday the Jackets play the role of undertakers
as we will usher Georgia
straight to the fiery depths of Hell.
We will beat them much worse than their 51-7 victory in 2002.

Long live Buzz!

I read that Governor Riley of Alabama has bet Governor Crist of Florida a rack of ribs against a box of oranges that Bama wins in the SECCG. Governor Riley is a UA grad. I understand they had a joint bet last year against Governor Purdue: If both Bama and Florida beat the Dawgs, they take all of Atlanta’s water.

So what if you win that game, what does that do for you, you beat UGA, what do you get for that? Big deal. Now granted, last year I did have state champion rings made with our 3-point victory score featured but like I said, when you lose to them it’s just another game.

I asked my defense “ARE YOU THAT STUPID?” when Caleb King ran UNTOUCHED for a 75 yard touchdown, but then I calmed down and realized it’s just another game, just like Jacksonville State or getting blown out by Miami before a Thursday Night Lights audience.

Tech messed up my almost perfect weekend last week, but I will stay with the Jackets over Clemson in a tight fight to the finish… Jacket fans take plenty of Rolaids. Florida will take Alabama for the SEC Chamionship, too much Tebow. Texas sticks a long horn in Nebraska.

Falcons… well… Philly wins without Vick. Geez! Pats win, Colts win, I pick the Giants in an upset, Saints keep on truckin, Thor plucks the Cardinals.

Dear Dabo,

Please don’t turn CJ Spiller loose on my defense like Corch Richt did last week with Ealey and Caleb King. We’re gonna stack the line and challenge you to beat us with the run, and if you happen to run for ~ 350 yards well then, it’s just another game.

Clemson wins this one, Jeff. They shut down the triple option in the 2nd half of the first game. Without the two cheap touchdowns from Clemson special teams blunders they would have won the first one. I know, …if a frog had wings. I just don’t think Tech wants to play Clemson and Clemson wins the rematch.

The only kind of gold that is good is when you can say “silence is golden” regarding the obnoxious, overbearing smack talking nerd herd that got completely trampled on last Saturday.

Florida wins because of Tebow. Enjoy him while you can Gators. He is your Herschel. There will be no one else like him.

Falcons win because of Redmon and Snelling. Eagles will fumble in the end while driving to tie the game. Could we get so lucky that it would be Vick doing the fumbling?

Texas will beat Nebraska but Nebraska’s d will slow them down for awhile before the horns get loose.

Chick Fil La lays out some interesting scenarios. However, I think the Peach filet is set on Tennessee and VaTech.

I think that GaTech recovers from the screw-up with the Dawgs and beats the Tigers again. Nesbitt will fill in at linebacker as necessary and finds targets with the passes. S. Carolina showed what a pass rush can do to Clemson’s freshman QB. Tech had better come up with a good one, or Ford and Spiller get the ball via airmail boocoo times. (I’m channeling James Ellroy there).

Is everyone serious on this post?

Yes UGA won and beat the jackets and yes they had a great game running the ball (once in a lifetime). But even with all that the Jackets scored 3 points in the first half as Nesbitt was out the entire second qtr and they had 2 turnovers.

They STILL were coming down for the Win after overcoming all that and just dropped the 4th down pass (the fourth straight which I do not see why as they had a minute 20, but I back Paul Johnson if he thought he saw something).

If anyone actually thinks UGA was better than TECH this year OR that TECH was better than UGA last year YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT FOOTBALL.

UGA was a better team last year and Tech is a better team this year. They both just dropped games to lesser teams.

It will be fun to see how it all shakes out next year now that CPJ & CMR are 1-1.

I am proud Tech still had a chance to win even though UGA had two guys over 150 yards and only 1 turnover plus Nesbitt being out and the team scoing only 3 first half points.

Nesbitt in the entire game and do you really think Tech’s offense would not have gotten more than 30 points?

Enjoy the win for the next year as you guys deserved it and played a hell of a game, but did catch some breaks by Nesbitt going down and Johnson electing to pass four straight times in your territory then sure handed Thomas dropping the pass that would have given the first doiwn and probably had CPJ run a few times and pass a couple before scoring.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS REALLY FUNNY? HAD WE SCORED OUR KICKER PROBABLY WOULD HAVE MISSED THE EXTRA POINT AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN OT GAME. Gosh he stunk this year.

I guess that UGA having a freshman QB next year will not matter if the running backs step up their game each week like they did against Tech so enjoy the win and your bowl game and we’ll see you in Athens for a game that WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT as TECH will have 0 losses going into that one! (As long as Nesbitt & Thomas come back) We can lose Dwyer and Morgan and wth Allen (RB), S. Hill (WR) & R. Jones(RB) back too we could have WILLIE MARTINEZ next year and win out.

Just as long as the QB plays the entire game each week!!!

Happy Holidays to All!

Jeff I’m not going to join in the unseemly piling on and say the ACC title game has lost luster because of last week. But I have to ask:

Now that the ACC title game has been moved to a casino in Biloxi Mississippi, as part of the undercard for a Larry Holmes-Trevor Berbick rematch, did CPJ discuss with the media any concerns about moving the game indoors?

Bama has the SEC. They were all about business last week against Auburn. Gators were busy celebrating Tebow’s swan song. Bama will be focused and will win straight up.

I used to work on quite a few financial audits in Shreveport and Bossier City. The people there were great. Very friendly and giving as a whole. Food was good. Nice weather.

You all might be pleasantly surprised there. I would go but I can’t bear watching Joe Cox again. Maybe, as in the Tech game, almost every play will be a running play. The only game that I enjoyed all year was the Arkansas game. That was fun.

This has been the most boring and uneventful year ever for Georgia football. Yuk!!!

Mark Mangino, the fired Kansas head coach went well beyond the verbal abuse that USMC DIs are currently allowed:

” ‘Don’t you ‘yes sir’ me. I’ll send you back to St. Louis where you can get shot by your homies.’ ”

” You want to be a lawyer? You’re going to be an alcoholic just like your dad.”‘

The longer i think about the tech-clemson game, the more i find myself leaning towards Clemson.

Tech’s D Line seems banged up. . not a plus

Also, it has to help seeing tech’s offense twice in one season. the 4 days of preperation time seeing it can’t be nearly enough. . . now, in some strange sense, Clemson is getting to build upon the preperation they did earlier. . .even if it was weeks ago.

once again, team with the least turnovers will win. . . and it will be a LONG fall for the loser of this one.

jesse james – You’re indicting a lot of reporters, as if there is an inherent mass conspiracy at SI. That is not likely.The SI reporter is quoting a former Jayhawks player in the article. Mangino was under investigation by Kansas before he was fired. He may still be under investigation for a “fired with cause” situation. That is conjecture by me, though, as I haven read anything about it since he was canned.

December 3rd, 2009

Mangino had a lot of ex-players come out to his defense and they stated he made them better men as well.

But i must say i honestly was astounded EVERY FREAKIN TIME i ever saw him on TV. . . .dang, that was a big man.

flagboy? – Banged up is right. The DL is missing 2 starters, Hall (whole season, actually) and Anderson. The only good news regarding the defense is that the only senior on the 2-deep is Griffin, a starting LB. Of course, Morgan is projected to be a 1st rounder, so that means 2 will be lost.

Negrodamus, why do Tech fans think they are psychic and predict the future when it comes to football?

Well, Tech fans have no clue about anything related to football. See, they all KNEW they would beat Georgia and their smaller players were physically punished by the stronger, more physical Dawgs. They all KNEW they would beat The U and The U shut them down. Now many are acting like they’ve been invited to the Orange Bowl even though they haven’t won the ACC Title game. They live in their own little world. And God forbid you call them out on it — their only comeback is “You have no class” when you bring them back to reality. Negrodamus predicts Clemson to the Orange Bowl. It’s only fitting. Orange is Clemson’s color!

jesse james – At the same time the USMC implemented their official ban on certain “profane expressions”, the DIs were struggling to comply, at least in the presence of the officers. Without the officers, different story. Our platoon sergeant once told us, “If one of you **** ******* ever tries to give me an order, I will ******* kill you!” One day a Gunnery Sgt. was giving instruction on camoflage out in the field, and our company commander happened to be observing. It was hilarious listening to Gunny’s stuttering and trying not to say the big bad words. He was a huge guy and really worked up a sweat. Thought he was going to have a coronary.

“But I can’t pull the trigger on an upset when this team hasn’t lost since the last time a Dogs fan said, “Great game plan, Willie.””

Actually Mr. Schultz, I don’t think those in Athens were congratulating Mr. Martinez at all the last time that T-bow and crew lost as it was the same day as “the blackout.” And if my memory serves me correct, you (very incorrectly) took Jawja and the spread (-7) in your weekend picks. That worked out well for ya. Kinda like it will again this weekend.

Special team tricks by PJ and blunders by the Tigers in the first quarter + the phantum holding call on the tigers after completing the long pass deep into tech territory late in the 4th quarter were the differences in that game. Want happen again. Clemson is a much better team than they were in September and tech is about the same except beat up and missing some players. Still, tech had a good run this year thru the A She She along with dominating performances over SEC powerhouses Vandy and Mrs St.

Like Ugag, Tech is the better team on paper, but too bad we don’t play these things on paper. Clemson, like Tech relys heavily on 3 or 4 players to win, all of which will play on Sunday.

If I’m correct, and I’m not saying I am, Tech should win by the coaching factor. CPJ has clearly more experience than CDS in these type of games, which ain’t saying much since they came at the 1-AA level, but!!!

Like Ugag dominates Tech, the Jackets have done much of the same to Clemson, and I don’t know why, but it is what it is. I guess if Clemson can put up a “They Don’t Respect Us” message on the chalk board, Tech may be in trouble. On the other hand, I just can’t imagine Tech and CPJ failing to reach their number one goal, and it wasn’t beating Ugag, it was winning the ACC Championship. Jackets win and it’s not as close as one would expect.

Here are my predictions:

1. Georgia over Tech. Wait a minute, that was last week. Oh well, we can simply apply it to next season. The once-in-a decade Tech win last season was, in fact, the aberration that we all thought it was. The recent Georgia win and the firing of Willie Martinez means we’re lining up for another Georgia streak in this “unimportant” (CPJ’s designation) series. The next time Tech wins against the Dawgs, someone else will be President. And Tech can make themselves some shiny new rings to commemorate winning that insignificant contest once again.

2. Clemson over Tech–because Tech won the last time as the result of an illegal play. Because Clemson has been looking forward to this rematch all year. Because Tech’s run defense is as beat up as Tiger Woods’ head.

3. Florida over Bama, because I don’t see the Tide doing much against the Gator D, even with “Captain Morgan” Carlos Dunlap back in Gainesville picking up trash by the roadside. Having the second-greatest player in SEC history helps, too (sorry, Gator fans–the consensus is still that Timmy’s the best SEC player not named Herschel).

4. Texas over Nebraska in the championship game nobody cares about. No, wait–that’s the ACC title game. The Texas-Nebraska game at least sold out (question: did the MAC title game sell more tickets than the ACC title game? That would be a hoot!).

If I bought 10,000 ACC title game tickets, do you think I could get them to move kickoff to a time more convenient to me? Just curious.

5. Herschel over Paul Johnson. I’d like to see CPJ punch HW in the nose, just once. And it would only happen once, because Herschel’s badass personality (the one that used to show up against Tech on fall Saturdays) would send CPJ into the next life–the one where he’s thin and politically correct.

I’d pick Mark Richt over CPJ, as well. Or Vince Dooley. Or Erk Russell, and he’s dead.

Ohio State…Cannot win big games outside the Big 11.
Oklahoma…Bob Stoops is 0-5 in the last 5 BCS games.
Alabama…Beat Bama that Utah destroyed. How good was Bama?

What a joke. But I never hear Urban mentioned like Spurrier was. Maybe most writers know Urban/Tebow are in the right place at the right time.

You can’t talk about last season’s win anymore, and your projections for next season are just so much wishful thinking.

Ah- as predicted- children and dogs are very predictable and trainable- the UGA weinies that have no game plans this weekend must snipe at the one team for Georgia that is playing this weekend for a large trophy that says “Champion”- something not seen in Athens since that preseason championship two years ago. Wait- they do give a trophy for preseason #1, right???

Funny how Schultz brings up Clemsons weak schedule. In all his fawning over Georgia Tech this season he has never once mentioned things like Jack State or consecutive games against Virginia, Vandy. Wake Forest, and Duke followed by an off week. He has never once mentioned that Tech has not played a single team with fewer than 3 losses this season.
Schultz, I hate to keep picking on ya bro but this is just absurd. This has not been a good year for you AJC clowns. You all need to put down the kool aid and go to bandwagon rehab. You are out of control.

Good pick though. I think Tech wins too. Too bad nobody cares.

UGA showed CU the blueprint. Hence, Spillar left… Spillar right… Spillar up the gut. We also know that the maggots can’t play D, so that blueprint will work well, again.

To that end, if not for a joke of a phantom holding call, CU would have won the first match up. Hence, add in a sprinkle of revenge.

CU by 7.

The collapse continues and PJ tells maggot fans to punch CU fans in the face and that this game didn’t matter. Winning the bowl game will be what is important. Yeah, that;s the ticket.

Sunday headline: “Jacket’s Outcoached by Dabo”. Both defenses are just bad. But GT’s is worse. And GT simply does NOT have a Quarterback on the field. In fact, the brilliant CPJ does not have a QB in his offense. Which, at this level, you need one.
Remember the 2nd half of the regular season game? That again.
Okay, if GT wins, all props to the Genius (just ask him). But if they lose, it will be a healthy thing; Maybe this will start real GT fans (and the AJC press) to finally in year 2 drop the euforia, drop the “well it’s not Gailey” routine, and realistic measure this guy by what he does, plays he calls, what he says, WHO he recruits, and ask the real question;
Can a Div II coach with a gimmick offense consistently win at the top level of a mediocre secondary Div I conference like the ACC? maybe. SEC? no way. Big 10? nope. Pac 10? doubt it. Big East? ok maybe.

GT has become the annual year end collapse that has become tradition at Tech. After 3 season ending losses they won’t be a blip on college footballs radar screen for another 40 years. Dwyer, Morgan, Thomas, and possibly Burnett leave and PJ’s #37 and #52 recruiting classes relegate Tech to their rightful bottom feeding place in the college football universe. PJ also starts looking for a another job.

This game between the Falcons and Eagles will be exciting. The Eagles are a 5 point favored. That’s not bad for a team that has their starting quarterback out and best running back on the roster. Eric weems has to step up and give us good field position. You can’t let Andy Reed out coach us, In this game we got to pullout all stops. Somebody on this Falcons roster has to be a leader by example.

UGA fans harping on GT’s illegal play against Clemson are conveniently forgetting that Clemson had an illegal play as well in that game. Also, you are giving Ealy and King waaaay to much credit for their stats this past Saturday night. You should be fawning over your offensive line. They created holes that Mark Mangino could’ve gotten through…..sideways.

A Tech loss and the emotional downward spiral for Tech fans continues. Its a win win for the Georgia Bulldogs. We can’t possibly lose!!! 30-24.

Tech fans, remember all those times in the past when you would take one of your mediocre teams and stun one of our Top 10 tea…..Oh wait a second. That has NEVER happened. LOL.

If Tech loses I can’t wait for Robersons fluff piece on how CPJ gave the women’s track and field team a bag of marbles for motivation. The only thing softer than Georgia Tech football right now is the AJC’s coverage of Georgia Tech football.

Wow!! I just love the way all thses UGAy bulldog fans / alumni just trouncing all over Tech because they finally won. The game was over last Saturday, and y’all still talking about it. I got something that UGAy can talk about. Did you hear about the UGA student that was arrested twice recently? Why can’t UGAy students stay out of trouble. First it’s the trash on the ground during tailgating that stunk up the campus, not to mention all of I-85 and 316, and now this.

Anyway, back to the predictions, which is the reason why I’m on here anyway:

GT wins a close one over clemson. 11-2, ORANGE BOWL, HERE WE COME!

Florida beats Alabama, and plays Texas for the National title. Too bad that it can’t be Florida and Tech for the national title, no thanks to the likes of Cincinnati, TCU, and Boise State.

Texas bulldozes Nebraska.

Falcons get their acts together and beats the Eagles at home.

New York Gaymen upset Tony Homo and the Dallas Cowgirls.

Patriots bounce back from the beatdown from the N.O. Stanks and beats Miami

Speaking of the New Orleans Stanks, I meant Saints, they’ll punch D-Hall in the mouth and beat the Washington Deadskins.

I must be a Baby Horse hater because I am one of a million people making this bold prediction: TITANS UPSET COLTS!!!

Vikes beat Arizona.

I can understand that some of you are tired of all of the gloating comments. Honestly, I’m getting bored with them. BUT, you had it all coming to you with all of the comments from the last year about UGA. Someone before me wrote about Georgia “finally winning this game”. Last time I checked “finally” did not include the time between the last game and this game. All you tech fans can make all of the comments you want about “who’s playing this Saturday”, but honestly everyone here knows it really gets to you that you had a chance at something special and were still put in your place by a rebuilding UGA team. Sorry if this comes off as anything other than rational, but some folks on here are just out of their minds.

And we still have a chance at something special. If we will tomorrow we go to the orange bowl. We know we lost to UGA and it did mean a lot, but we can’t go back in time and change the fact that we did not show up. But if the shoe is on the other foot and it is CMR second year and you have a chance to play in a BCS bowl then the UGA fans would be just as content with a loss to Tech, it would suck but still content. We have been tech fans a long time and yes there have been many bad years, but we are happy with our record last year and are even more happy that it is better this year. And yes some of your facts are rational, but we are just as rational (other than our idiots just as yours)so I will give you the respect you give me

I’ll be the first UGA fan to get on board with your statement about you guys being excited about your record. I’m excited right along with you. I’ve watched that program just kind of exist instead of growing for a while and I think it’s great. I hope you guys build an ACC powerhouse and make these games between UGA and GT better every year. I’ll absolutley get in line with that. I don’t know about the line regarding UGA fans being content with a loss to Tech if the shoe were on the other foot. We’ve had a couple of coaches fired because of losses to Tech and similar rivals. However, I do concede that it must be easier to look at the overall picture of the year when you’ve got a shot at a BCS bowl. I wish you guys all the best until next November back between the Hedges.

I agree with you. The loss to UGA hurts – any Tech fan who says it doesn’t is lying – but doesn’t ruin what has been an enjoyable season. GT still has a lot to play for and hopeully they won’t show up tomorrow with a hangover.
With Gailey the only thing Tech seemed to have to play for by the beginning of November was a chance to upset UGA. With CPJ I expect a much closer series with wins and losses on both sides.

People take sports way too seriously – I stopped doing that on April 15th 1989

So now I’m an idiot for quoting si.com on Mangino? A quote is a quote, right? Just like CPJ being quoted about “just punch them in the face”, or something to that effect.

I Georgia decides to get a new offensive coordinator, Mangino was voted the top assistant coach in the nation as OC when he led Oklahoma to the mythical national championship in 2000. He would be a fine counterpoint to Mark Richt.

Actually I think the Falcons can win on Sunday. Ryan looked terrible before he got hurt last week, and RedMan stepped in and played with great CONSISTENCY, without INT’s or FUMBLES, which was actually a nice change of pace. First play of game by Ryan – pass to Jenks on sideline, Jenks went long and Ryan threw short. Second play – timeout. How the HAYELL can your offense be that out of sync to begin a freaking football game in the NFL in yo own dam house???

White & Jenkins will be back, Turner out will hurt but I predict the crowd will be all over the Eagles as opposed to booing the Falcons. I predict a much needed win against a potential wild card opponent. Despite what Coach said, this is a must win game if we want to make the playoffs. Moral victories no longer count. Hopefully we have someone who can kick a field goal from 40 yards now. As for Chris Owens, he didn’t look bad last week, I’ll admit, hopefully that means I won’t be seeing Dimry in my dreams no mo.
