Tech Pregame

Going to the Tech game tonight. Ceil already has her game face on, she’s all stressed out. She’ll be upset if Clemson loses, which I don’t think is a forgone conclusion. Last week GT scored 37 points…14 on a punt return and a 79 yard run. Take those away and the score was 23-17, right? They did fumble 4 times, miss a FG and PAT, and play lots of reserves.

Clemson had a similar game…scoring on 2 long plays, plus an INT return to the red zone. Both QBs had similar stats, though Nesbitt is a more talented runner. The team that prevents the big plays will be in better shape to win. Hopefully GT will run the option over and over, and stay away from the pass. AJC says Clemson’s defensive coordinator is experienced, and could be up for the job. Could be a long year for Tech, if they keep playing like last week.

Will says that US Open girl attended Walker, a private school at Allgood and Hwy 41, near baseball. Before that she went to East Cobb Presbyterian’s K-8 school, where Will goes to youth group. We know several kids who go there, all younger than Melanie. (we still need to drag Claire & Andrew there…lot’s of young families). Saw where she trained at the Country Club of the South in Alpharetta, right?

Braves…one run in 9 innings won’t win many games! Besides the overworked bullpen, that lack of hitting has done us in for the last week. It appears that even the guys who are hitting aren’t getting clutch hits. Infante has cooled, McLouth is streaky, Chipper was due for an off year. My friend Mark Bradley was saying Cox was having an off year. Perhaps Cox is doing this so he can easier retire at the end of the year.

Saw the Dews program after last night’s game and laughed. He did things like get in that movie, something else I would do. I’ll have to look him up on Facebook. Too late to change my name from Mike Lum, which I use whenever I’m irate enough to post on any AJC topic.
