Another Tech Disappointment

Big game, and GT doesn’t show up…big surprise. Down two touchdowns they should’ve stuck to their strength, running the ball. Instead they throw against excellent defensive backs, and also let VT recover an onsides kick. Typical Tech.

More and more I’m seeing how college football is an emotional game. Perhaps Tech has too many analytical types to get up for big games. Last night’s game was a big contrast to last Saturday’s UGA/Florida game. Certainly Tech fans are less emotional/passionate than most. The faithful show up dressed in Tech colors, but the numbers are significantly less than the Bulldogs, Clemsons, Gamecocks, Auburns, Alabamas, Gators, Nols, or Volunteers. Most pragmatic GT grads move on to other pursuits and passions besides college athletics.

Chan wouldn’t have lasted so long at an SEC school, not that they would’ve hired him.
