Will Cuse DL Need Knee Braces .vs GTech?
Cut block city here we come. Cuse is a 9 point underdog...I think that is too much.

Re: Will Cuse DL Need Knee Braces .vs GTech?
I see you now also play Beamer Bawwwwww. And cut blocks are perfectly legal and Syracuse uses them too. But Georgia Tech has sucked so bad at blocking anybody using any technique this year I don't know what you're crying about.

Probably will not need knee braces as elbow braces as they looked so slow off the ball against Clemson they will probably still be in their stance when the Tech OL hits them.

What's the deal with GT running the option. I understand why the service academies do it, but why GT?

Stanford, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Northwestern, etc really struggle with academics.

Marge...no one mentioned knee pads anywhere in this thread...guess you subconsciously are thinking about putting on a pair yourself. Catdaddy err Kaplony and you can go find some quiet forum together for some quality time.
You two juveniles make it too easy.

Oh, yes. I never leave home without them. I can't believe a Cuse fan actually thinks they are better than somebody else. A Cuse fan. Get your knee pads ready.

1) They have a broad curriculum that includes liberal arts bs majors. GT does not.
2) They offer many exemptions to their academic requirements. GT does not. (O'Leary got exemptions, but was notorious for stalking players academically to the point where he knew if you missed a class before that class was over.)
3) They do not add extra requirements above and beyond the NCAA's mandates. GT does, such as requiring calculus for everybody with no exceptions.
4) They have major nationwide recruiting programs. GT likes to get b*tch slapped endlessly in state in recruiting by U(sic)GA. (O'Leary recruited regionally, and had pipelines all over like to Jesuit in Tampa.)
5) Notre Dame and Stanford have financial resources GT flatly does not.

After the last three abortions ... at least 10,000 under capacity (45,000). It is within the realm of possibility for it to be as high as 20K to 25K under capcity (35,000 to 30,000). The combination of the last 4 years and the way GT lost to VT caused serious loss of fan support. I no longer believe in the program's direction and won't shell big money to go to games until the systemic problems (IMO) are addressed. This includes academic restrictions and recruiting. Two more epic collapses against Miami (one per half) caused further bleeding. Being DOA in Provo caused more bleeding. If PJ can't go to a bowl or loses handily to U(sic)GA things will start getting nasty.

RE: Will Cuse DL Need Knee Braces .vs GTech?
Going West to Provo is always a crap shoot. Pretty tough environment: 2 hour time difference, fairly long plane ride, field elevation close to Denver's, and sometimes wacky weather give them a nice HFA.
Read the article: Lots of tapdancing...by the AD. You would think by now PJ would have his athletes in place. All Cuse is talking about: assignment football against GTech. Problem is our team isn't always discipline.

There is no other FBS school that has to deal with academic restrictions and limited majors like GT. The service academies have it worse, but that's a whole other deal with active service.
Also, the administration has severely limited special admits since the O'Leary days (i.e. Flunkgate).
Outside the southeast; most people think GT is primarily a basketball school. Despite all of the history that GT has in football and that we've won a more recent fball national championship than UGA.

I'm disappointed with the season, but haven't given up on the program. Alot of GT fans (me included) were hyped up on Vad Lee and thought he would bring instant success. Just have to keep in mind this is his first year starting and now we see why he wasn't able to beat out Tevin last year. Vad currently can't run the option to a high degree and just makes bad decisions.
If you go back and look at Joe Hamilton's first year as a starter he didn't do so hot either. End of his senior year; he finished 2nd for the Heisman. Lets just hope Vad improves significantly as well. Or maybe we switch gears with Justin Thomas if Vad can't cut it.
Also, if you fire CPJ; I don't see any other coach (even Saban) bringing a consistently high level of success to GT with our limitations. As you said, there needs to be a fundamental change in the administration around academic requirements, majors, etc.
Just not sure if that's going to happen. I don't think there are big money donors or enough alumni in general who want that kind of change. I think there is a perception that if we lower our standards; it affects the academic reputation of the school. I think that is a load of bull personally. Though I do agree that I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt that reputation either.

We get Navy and GT back to back. Then we play ND. Not that I thought we could beat ND, but after two straight weeks of cut blocking teams we are doomed.

Playing Navy before GT should help you out. GT usually cries foul if you play an option team before them.
