Like everyone else, Vegas isn’t expecting much from Tech in the opener.
And Buzz has seen some pretty bad teams in the interim.

Georgia Tech is a 36-point road underdog at Clemson this week. That is the Yellow Jackets largest underdog role in modern school history (since 1980).

And Buzz has seen some pretty bad teams in the interim.
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
Who does a poor Dawg root for in this game? Sigh…

Got a feeling Tech is gonna be covered, smothered and scattered this weekend.

You could probably throw chunked and diced in there, too.
It’s going to be as bad as Dabo wants it to be.

I’m heading to Clemson Thursday morning. Tailgate with my son and his posse and scouting two potential opponents in one game. Clemson may cover the spread pretty early so we plan to leave at halftime.

Only 36? Do they assume Dabo will pull the starters after the 1st quarter?

Thinks I can imagine CGC saying after that game:
“Yes, we lost by 42 points…. but the heart our guys showed was aBovE tHe LiNe”
“404 culture doesn’t accept defeat… even when we lose.”
“Our academics are better than theirs… so who’s the loser?”

“Our academics are better than theirs… so who’s the loser?” That is so spot on Tech.

I might buy a Clemson shirt if they break Tech’s record for most lopsided victory in CFB ever (222 – 0) this Saturday night.

Naturally, no way I’m gonna root for tech. For all you young’uns out there, I have Old School hate for Clemson.(Ph*ck Danny Phord!) In a bygone era one could hope for a scoreless tie. I suppose you could hope that tech makes life completely miserable for Clemson before losing and thus depriving Clemson of style points for the playoff committee.

That would be the optimal outcome. Sadly it will probably not be a struggle for Clemson, but rather an ass whipping of epic proportions for the NERDS.

I say it’s past time for that Georgia Tech Cumberland game (222-0) to be relegated to the second biggest blow out in the record books.

Dabo in a pickle here: he is in the spotlight but doesn’t want to expose how bad other ACC teams are, and doesn’t want to disappoint the fans and media who expect him to return the love and adulation being showered on Clem’s Son. Can easily cover the line but has to be careful of looking like the school bully. I think they focus on holding gt to 0-7 points and keep theirs in the 40/50s. Giving the points or an Under 60 bet looks reasonable, even to me who doesn’t like name-your-score games, or unders. Probably pass on this one.
For CFB TV entertainment Cincy/UCLA, A&M’s game, and the Holy War game will get all of my attention. on Thursday. The A&M game has a similar spread to clem/gt but curious to see what Jimbo has under the hood.

This game has all the parts to be a complete pantsing of Tech on regional cable. 63-10, Clempson. Maybe worse if Dabo can’t reign in the backups.
