Life in the 404

It seems all the sunshine pumping in the world can’t change Georgia Tech from being Georgia Tech.

The announced attendance of 41,219 was beneath the attendance for last year’s homecoming game, an Oct.13 loss to Duke, when attendance was 41,709. That figure was the lowest for a homecoming game since 1994, when homecoming was celebrated on the second-to-last game of a season in which coach Bill Lewis was fired the previous week.

Damn.  When you can’t even match the enthusiasm level the genius generated, that’s pretty sad.

Oh, well.  There’s always Waffle House.

    But on the bright side, at least they will have a sellout at the end of the month!

  5. Kirby needs to bring his guys to Atlanta on Thanksgiving weekend with the intention of sending Jeoff a message that the Genius may be gone but nothing changes. We’re going to wear your @$$es out until the Drought is on the ash heap of college football history.

    Yet another thing you can do if you’re at Tech.

    How is their recruiting going compared to how it was under Johnson? Anybody got any insight beyond the current 247/rivals rankings?

      They seem to be doing a little better. At least they ARE recruiting, which is more than can be said about the Big Johnson.

    Let me be the first to invite slings and arrows. I have watched some (not a lot) of Tech this season. It seems to me that Tech is moving in the right direction. The new Tech HC is a little too much like Sgt. Carter for my taste but they look better in every facet. When he gets better players I expect Tech to field a lot better team than Tech had with Fishfry. I also recall that only a couple of seasons after Tech had a winless (or close to it) season under Bobby Ross Tech won a natty.

      Nah, Colorado (5th down and all) was the one, true National Champion that year. And you’ll never convince me otherwise.

        This is a historical truth to be taught and passed down through the generations. Coaches poll has always been irrelevant.

    Get-in price starting to look better and better for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. All that will be left wearing gold in the stands are the people that hate Georgia so much that they refuse to sell their tickets out of spite and go just so they can yell “THWG” before the game kicks off.

  12. Trying to use triple options personnel in a modern offense was bound to get worse before it got better. Collins is gonna have to have 2-3 years to get that offense even close to turned around.

    I was glad to see that Tech wore traditional home uniform. That’s their best. Oops, I said something nice about Tech.

    The word “announced” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, as well.
