[...] To take the ACC championship. I believe Paul Johnson when he says his stylized offense will be ever better, and I note the key game on Tech’s conference schedule — Virginia Tech on Oct. 17 [...]

Sorry, folks, Had to do a little writing for a change. My take, such as it is, on T-Day should be appearing on the ol’ blog momentarily. But here’s a preview, free of charge: I thought Tech’s defense looked promising, even in a 31-28 game.

And Ted, it’s funny you should mention the BlackBerry battery: I was all primed to shoot video and photos before the game, but the battery was dead and I had to recharge. And then, just for good measure, I did a video clip with Tech AD Dan Radakovich and asked if he was sorry he’d hired Paul Johnson, and he said he was. But then the BlackBerry froze and the video was lost.

And yes, I’m kidding about Radakovich’s expression of sentiment: He’s pretty happy with PJ, you should know.

On playing UGA, UGA constantly proves that they can be beaten with less talent. If UGA ever plays to the level of their recruiting talent no team in college ball will stay with them. But we all know thats never going to happen at UGA. UGA every year is a testament that recruiting is a small part of the game.

In Athens we don’t allow our players that one phone call if they’ve fumbled in a game the week before.

Coach Johnson may have the team carrying the contents of the weight room up and down the steps of the stadium after a first-play fumble.

Ted, I think Mark must have given up, since there was nobody on here at the time he posted. I didn’t see his post until an hour afterwards

Mark, Do they give you a BlackBerry to cover T-Day or is there a newspaper rule about conserving batteries on it unless it’s an important event?

(Hey, folks, I’m only kidding).

UGA fan: My team is better than yours!

Tech fan: nu-unh!

6 year old: My dad can beat up your dad!

6 year old’s friend: nu-unh!

Tech fan: We have four national titles!

UGA fan: So?!

7 year old: I have a bigger house than yours!

7 year old’s friend: So?!

Grow up already, both sides. It’s embarrassing for everyone.

OK, Supersize, I’m here at T-Day, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t report that Tech fumbled on the first play of its spring game — just like last year!
