5 reasons Georgia Tech will win at Miami
The nighttime zaniness will be on the other side. But that's OK. (AJC photo by Johnny Crawford)
1. Paul Johnson coaches Georgia Tech. Randy Shannon coaches Miami. Mismatch.
2. Tech just got a crash course in how to handle a Thursday night game. The home team will be pumped and will start fast. The visitor must ride out the first quarter and stay close, which is doubly important if …
3. You’re a running team, which Tech is. The Jackets can’t get too far behind. But they won’t. Indeed, their capacity to control the ball and the clock will help douse Miami’s early fire. Which means …
4. It will come down to execution. That’s a mismatch, too. Miami beat Florida State because FSU is even sloppier than the U. Tech can get sloppy, but not when it matters. And, in case you haven’t noticed …
5. Tech owns Miami. Even Chan Gailey beat the Hurricanes. As Inspector Clouseau would say, “The case, she is sol-ved.”

Five Reasons Tech will win at Miami
1. wrong
2. wrong
3. wrong

WOW! Wrong five out of five, good job. Mark Bradley, you were way off and trust me, the credibility that the AJC lost won’t matter because it can’t get any lower. Bigsilva was right, Miami went the high road the last ten minutes of that game or you would’ve looked almost as bad as the guys we’ve got writing for the Herald.
its all about the u

Your own coach (who apparently is better than miamis) said it best.“We pretty much got beat in every facet of the game.”
We could have scored two more times if we wanted to.
Hows it feel to swallow your words…num num num!!! Next time do your homework
Go CANES!!!!!!!!!

Why is it only Miami fans talking where are all the tech fans at?
There’s no shame in losing to a better coached team that is well versed on how to play Thursday night games, runs the ball well, plays a clean game and is an overall way better team on offense and defense.

Mark Bradley…..or Milton Bradley ? I didnt catch the name. Anyway I did catch the load of $#%^ your shoveling here. Why lie to your readers like this. How about writing the facts and not the dreams you had the night prior. To think you actually get paid for this, and even worse your readers are buying it. Its all about the U !!!!

#1 – Mismatch indeed. Randy and Co. dominated CPJ.
#2 – Didn’t ride out the 1st Qtr. Rode out the 1st 3 1/2 Qtrs then woke up.
#3 – Indeed they got too far behind.
#4 – A mismatch – You are right about that one only reference #1. A mismatch for GT.
#5 – Tech was owned by Miami. “The case, she is unsol-ved”.

Atlanta is a great town. I apoligize to her citizens for having to suffer the writing of Mark Bradley. Isn’t it frustating that he actually gets paid for this?

Sucks for you, Stinger. Guess you haven’t beaten the best team on your schedule after all. Not by a long shot. Good luck making a bowl, though.
O, and Bradley, very well done sir. Couldn’t have sucked it up worse myself.
