[Heisman's Ghost]

Guess we found out who is a real football coach

Now look here cpf that is just mean and not respectful to an opposing coach...funny, but not nice.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Not surprised. They did not have the wheels to keep up with our receivers. We don't have enough linemen on both sides of the ball to suit me but even a skeptic like me recognizes that this team has speed to burn on the outside and pretty much plenty with the defensive backs. If we ever can't win enough for a national championship soon, we can host an all comers meet in track for football players.

And our defense kept shifting and confusing them too. Along with the full stadium it was a sensory overload they were not used to.

I was under the impression that the Carrier Dome being enclosed and all was pretty loud but that may have changed in recent years.

I don’t think the Carrier Dome screams at their own team, as a rule. Crowd noise is usually directed toward other teams’ offense.

Thank you for the clarification. Different venues do different stuff I suppose. At Florida Field, the alumni spend most of their ire directed at the officials and lately at Billy. Can't say I blame them.

And what music would you prefer that would also be enjoyable by the youth we are trying to recruit into our fanbase?

Florida seems to do pretty well with a wide mix.....country to rock to rap/hip hop.
AC/DC, Metallica, Chase McDaniel, Tom Petty, Taylor Swift, even Paul Simon...... Not that I think it matters what we play, but the dance vibe and sing along quality is always good. At least I know or have heard the songs.

Lol old people complaining about the music again, but I do agree that if it’s too loud and the sound quality is crap it can be very off putting. Almost as off putting as the PA announcer begging people to get on their feet and get loud while people sit on their hands ( this happens at basketball games).

On the flip side, I doubt the music choices have any bearing whatsoever on recruiting. I don’t think 5 stars will be swayed by the playlist if you’re getting drummed 55-0 in an empty stadium or in front of an overwhelming visitor crowd, and I don’t think they will care about the playlist if you’re winning big games in front of a raucous home crowd.

One of our newly acquired upper east fans decided to direct his ire at me (and my family) for being as loud as I possibly could on the early goal line stand - in true roid range fashion, nonetheless. Almost as if he’d never been to a college football game.

Agreed when you are losing, but when you are winning, Swag Surfin and All the Way Turnt Up get the stadium going for anybody under 50. It makes the vibe that much better when most of the stadium is into it.

We saw a guy losing his mind screaming in a woman's face threatening her at the Gardner Webb game because she was briefly standing in the aisle trying to get out of the rain, all while he was holding his small child. He threw out that he was a season ticket holder as if that made him superior. The police eventually came and handled it, and ya know, I haven't seen Mr Season Ticket Holder at a game since.

We should be able to target some high profile DL’s coming off of this season.

the key word is SHOULD

Offense
- Played great - King, Allen, OL were all very good - Allen speed as everyone saw - was mesmerizing
- With the above said, game ball to Buster Faulkner who had his best game of the year. His misdirection, followed by straight ahead blocking, followed by nice passing routes - Syracuse was on skates. Plays were busting wide open due to confusion on Syracuse. It was glorious. Keep at it Faulkner.
-Syracuse did a horrible job setting the edge - horrible

Defense
- Played steady - Dline did a good job
- Van Den Berg was a beast. He is the best DL we have had since Gotsis and he is better than Gotsis. If he doesn't make 1st team All ACC then voters aren't watching tape. He is so much better than Clemson DTs. His motor never stops. What a 2 game stretch by him after a great Duke game.
- Manley and Spaulding at LB can come around the edge to get to the QB against anyone including the SEC teams. Manley just needs to tackle better. Grab the QB and hang on - it's not that hard. He's done the hard part with his rush. Spaulding is improving too and is playing fast. Daniels always plays well and makes plays but will miss a tackle now and then as he did on their pass TD.
- In summary, not a great test and for the first time this year we gave up some big plays (long run up the middle and busted pass coverage) but all-in-all not bad. Have been really good about not having busted coverage for most of the year- need to double down to avoid that.

Agree completely.
Plus we really established MIND/ relationships between qb and the young receivers.
They see the open spot before it happens and King is throwing dimes to that spot.
Canion did a Smelter like backshoulder catch for first down. WR room has a high ceiling..

About 3 weeks ago key said he could close his eyes and hesr we are having a good practice. We do good verses good. I think hexwas refering to ol dl sound. For the lastc2 games , the ol has done a unique pregame drill. After stretch they do a short verdion of bullbin ring. I was watched them setup into a circle, then 77 got in middle for the first charge. It wasnt crazy rough, but it clearly got them fired up. No slow start in first quarter for ol since.

Giving music to a crowd that has no hope is like putting an intercooled turbo onto an engine with deformed cylinders.

To me, the music issues are a symptom of the perennial Tech administration cultural problem with effectively using available resources. Don't get me wrong- architectural acoustics are crazy complex and probably even more of a black magic than antenna design. But Georgia Tech has world class programs in systems and controls, signal processing, and technology of music. You could absolutely get a Capstone team or three and a few doctoral students to come up with a better system for less money and then constantly maintain and improve it.

But this is an AA and Hill that think cutting band travel to away games is responsible stewardship of resources. If it never occurred to them that college students may be able to organize their own travel within the Southeast and their friends and alumni might be willing to chip in to make it work then they definitely have no chance at imagining building something better than the slick sales team that takes them to very fancy lunches can offer in sound systems.

That's sad, because we could be pushing the envelope of what music can do for a team. A DJ is limited to canned materials and so can never tweak the emotion beneath the song when the third down really, really matters. I'll just observe that we don't have world class DJing at our games and leave it there. We could be experimenting with laying a live MC over the band, that sort of thing.

That could matter, because while you're right that no one cares about the playlist in a raucous home crowd, I suspect at least a few might care that a bunch of talented, creative students have their back and are constantly working on how to improve how the crowd comes into the game.

I was at a game there once, but it was 30-ish years ago when my oldest was visiting colleges. I remember it being really loud then. Cuse was starting a freshman named Donovan McNabb and he had the fans excited.

You mean to tell me the average football recruit born in 2009 doesn’t get turnt to the smooth sounds of Atlanta Rhythm Section???

At least we could have a Champagne Jam.

'Speed' is a matter of perception based on the opponent one is playing.
