Obviously, you are not 70+ yrs old..... Over the next few decades of your GT fan life, you will learn the true meaning of "crushing disappointment"..
How so? We may finish ranked. Will Florida? How are teams pulling ahead when they’ve been ahead for 60 years by cheating?
No, I’m a young 66. But I’ve experienced the loss of a child, the loss of a baby sister, the downsizing of two jobs and having to support a family while trying to start over. I don’t lose a lot of sleep over a football season. Jesus.
Yep…I have noticed that a lot of people who don’t care a thing about GT football are cruising around GT chat rooms at 930 pm on a Tuesday night in December
This is true. Maybe better than serviceable.
And I didn’t say I don’t care a thing. I said I don’t lament a passed season.
I wasn’t worried about your comments. I have no idea who you are. But thanks for sharing tragic details of your life… . I know that is what most Tech fans come to Swarm Football chat rooms to discuss ….
Exactly. Hypothetically, let’s say we win the bowl game and get to 10 wins. Then let’s say we win 10 wins the next two years to have three 10 win seasons in a row. THEN if we have a coordinator leave us for the same position at a 4 win SEC team and take players and staff with him, we’ll have a serious problem. Florida was in the Kiffin sweepstakes and very well could have gotten him if the AD got along with him. Florida, fair or not, still has that aura for coaches. We just aren’t there yet. I do believe if we keep winning we can get there because we seem to have the money and resources now.
I’d argue the process I discussed above about stringing together multiple great years to build the program could have been sped up a bit if we took care of business in the last month and won the ACC and made the playoff, but I fear that may be a chicken/egg situation because I fear part of our struggles the last month were due to Buster having a foot out of the door. That said, I don’t disagree with you. The context of the 9-3 record makes the season feel pretty mediocre. It reminds me of 2006. I do think a bowl win and top 15-20ish finish would salvage a lot, but at this point, we have no idea who’s coaching or playing in the bowl.
We probably never get Philo to sign under the old system you guys pine for when our bid was $0 while Auburn, Bama, FSU, Clemson, and UGA had boosters offering bags. And in case you didn’t notice we cherry picked Haynes King from a SEC school and Vanden Berg from a BIG school. And Hosley from an IVY. Everyone is a development school for everybody else. The SEC loses as many players as they take which is why they haven’t won a Natty lately and aren’t beating us by 50 points anymore.
Stop making sense! The sky is falling! The late season losses were all CBF's fault! We were killing it all year, didn't need those last second FGs to win games, we were crushing everybody by 40 points? Oh wait, that was just our imagination. Some of the ranting on here is as funny as it is irrational! Very entertaining though!
