(Where, oh where, do you rank the Jackets?) It's been a long season already. Nine full weeks of headlines and heroes and other alliterative phrases I'd prefer not to discuss. Not a whole lot to report tonight, outside of the fact that Wake Forest has initiated something of a mini-furor in Atlanta ...Published on: 1st November, 2009
(From now on, you can call him "Georgia Tech's most prolific rushing quarterback" Josh Nesbitt. Because he is.) It seemed like someone was going to get embarrassed Saturday night in Nashville. Would it be Vanderbilt, blown out at home on Halloween? Or would it be Georgia Tech, hampered by the weight of their ...Published on: 31st October, 2009
(Jonathan Dwyer had himself a night, as they say, in Nashville.) As promised. I'll be back with a full post-game column soon. We'll start with the positives. 56 points, 597 yards, 40:20 time of possession, 407 rushing yards. It does not get much more positive than that. Jonathan Dwyer was in what last year ...Published on: 31st October, 2009
(Josh Nesbitt's Yellow Jackets are the ACC's unquestioned best team now.) Jimmy Newman's kick never really had a chance—to be fair, dude's longest made attempt to date was 42 yards, and this one was 60. Jimmy Newman is Wake Forest's freshman kicker, and he tried, as the clock hit zeroe, to complete ...Published on: 30th October, 2009
(What makes the spread option so effective? Yoga, that's what.) Two-thirds of the way through their 2009 season, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are sitting prettier than they have in quite some time. First place in the ACC Coastal and within striking distance of the top-10 in the country. Moreover, the spread ...Published on: 30th October, 2009
(Will Derrick Morgan be holding that hand up to NFL fans next year?) We're eight games deep into the 2009 football season, and while it might have disappointed on a national scale, fans of the bee certainly won't be complaining at their present state. The Yellow Jackets have four games left, two ...Published on: 26th October, 2009
(Just how different is the Paul Johnson era from its predecessors?) Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which may or may not really explain why Georgia Tech gave Chan Gailey six whole years, ...Published on: 25th October, 2009
(Paul Johnson's Yellow Jackets are looking down at the rest of the ACC tonight.) Georgia Tech fans: Dabo Swinney's address is 104 Sycamore Dr., Clemson, SC. You may direct your candygrams and thank-you cards accordingly. Swinney's Clemson team pulled off what is right now probably the ACC's biggest upset win of the ...Published on: 24th October, 2009
(Josh Nesbitt didn't even have to finish Saturday's game.) Good teams win great games. Bad teams win no games. Great teams win bad games. It wasn't always pretty. The weather was terrible, the offense sputtered early, and Virginia hung around stubbornly. But Georgia Tech found a way, and a close game morphed quickly ...Published on: 23rd October, 2009
(Can Bay-Bay Thomas stand tall against the Wahoos on Saturday?) I know it's a day early, but I thought I'd start bringing you your pre-game fix, just so everybody has a day to digest and comment, etc. Week 8, as you surely now by now, sees the Jackets head north to Charlottesville, ...
