Sure, Al Groh deserves a lot of the blame for the Miami loss. And the genius didn’t help himself with that YOLO fourth-and-one call in overtime. But none of that would have mattered but for this:
That’s the football equivalent of an own goal in soccer.
I’m savoring my walk through of StingTalk later, that’s for sure.

Here’s a good one from StingTalk:
“Face the fact…Tech has been sub par since they took away the business school in the 50s and started making everyoone take 3 Calc classes and real science…
so it doesnt matter what coach you have…what scheme you run…you will always start off with a huge handicap.”

Every time I see The bees talk about academics I always want to know how the got Tyrone Sorrels,a young man who flunked out of UGA’s remedial studies program a degree because they did. Flunked out of our remedial studies program, transferred to GT played tight end and graduated. Higher academic standards my fat ass.

Nothing slows an offense than a defense that puts a focus on a QB. Think Todd Grantham told us that. If he did or did not his defense sure seems to do that, especially Jarvis Jones.
Watched some of the Carolina vs Missouri game on film. The play of the Missouri QBs was almost hard to watch. Same thing with Vandy. Now maybe their QBs are struggling, but all four of those QBs have some history. But most recent history seems to be the haunting of Jarvis Jones and company. If Jones was held once, well, those little yellow flags would have been green by the end of the game.
Let’s see how the defense goes against Bray and Dooley. Jarvis Jones is a perfect fit for TG’s defense. Probably difficult to set the box on TG’s defense, your QB finding Jones, watching the play clock, and knowing in your mind the LBs are coming on a mission.

the more decisions a QB has to make, the greater the chances he makes a bad decision. The faster he has to make said decisions, the greater the chances he makes a bad one. Jarvis Jones is a one man quarterback centrifuge. If I was Tyler Bray, I’d be sleeping very badly this week.

My favorite Stingtalk post of the night:
“The Safety Call was a 9 point swing at least…
16 at most. Why make that call on the field? I just don’t get it…would people really have complained if they didn’t make the call? It’s obvious that he was trying to get the touhback. A safety is a reward for good defense. This was just like giving someone the shaft with no apparent understanding of why the rule exists?”
So the refs are to base penalties on whether “people really have complained” and not call a safety unless the defense is truly deserving of a reward? Sounds like these techies need to stick to their Thermodynamics textbook.

“That’s not going to happen. We outstrip them by 500% in terms of endowment and much more in terms of economic effect in Georgia. We could easily buy them.
If GT really wanted to succeed in football, they could be a contender every year. We are no different in terms of resources than academic powerhouses that are also football powerhouses – UTexas, Michigan, Notre Dame. However, I think it is a fact that we JUST DON’T want to win.”

I found this while following on your post at Stingtalk. It was in a thread about the post game PJ interview on youtube that was pulled.
“They showed a clip of it on ESPN this morning, you could see CPJ fighting back tears in his eyes. Looked like my kids right before the belt is about to hit. The clip they showed had him talking about how tough a loss it was but that was it. Not the entire clip, just enough for ESPN to make the point about how crazy a game it was. ”
“It would appear that the strain is more than he could bear.”
