Let's go ahead and get the excuses out of the way. It was raining, there was a tricycle race that day, etc.

You were literally JUST making fun of Tech fans for being nerds, and you start quoting an IRC channel.

99k+ for the OSU spring game. Jesus.
That's a lot of overweight men in jerseys.

Cardale threw the ball 74 yards today, dude has a cannon
Our old-assed fanbase didn't want to get pneumonia.
I wore swim trunks, dry-fit shirt, raincoat, and Alabama fishing hat... the tsunami didn't come.

Did they have a running of the bulls/fans to get Saban's John Hancock this year?

There are no excuses. We have the worst fan base of any team in college sports. I'm not defending it anymore. We have always sucked as fans and we always will. I feel bad for our coaches and players. They made bad decisions coming to Tech. Hopefully the future recruits will go elsewhere where they might be supported. Make fun of us as much as you want. We deserve as much as you can dish out and much more.
They finally got fed up with all the illegal chop blocks probably. Tech students are too smart to put up with that destructive nonsense.

I would guess there are less than 50 current GT students who even know what a chop block is.
Didn't think I'd get agreement on that.

Amazing how many people show up for a totally fucking boring inter-squad scrimmage.

And one they have to pay for in fact! I think its cool that bunch of people who cant afford to go to regular OSU games can take their entire family in the stadium and watch them play a "game" for $5 a pop.

Yeah, in addition to the championship, the prices of regular season tickets continually going up probably is pushing up the attendance at spring games.

You guys charge for people to watch the spring game? I mean, I guess they come anyway, but that's just shitty.
How does this number compare to current GT students who even know what football is?

Gotta pay the people running the food
Is the food free?
It's a recruiting tool, look how many people we get to our spring gmae.

eh true, i dont see the problem with the $5. If people are willing to pay and still get a turnout like that more power to em.
I have no either issue as you have to pay the police for traffic support around the area etc. Once you get in the 105,000 that takes a serious toll on the area infrastructure.

Any profit from Spring Game goes to charity, if I remember correctly.
UGA's is like that. It's free with food donation for the local food bank. I still don't understand why they have ours the same weekend as the Masters.

I saw that. Really speaks to the shitty talent coming out of college these days if they're giving him a chance. I saw another article this week of an NFL coach lamenting the spread again because of issues with offensive linemen this time. They're just going to have to continue to adapt because so many college schools are doing it.
A Gata was arrested yesterday.
Article in the Fort Worth paper yesterday about how TCU still expects Kenny Hill to enroll there after transferring from A&M.
My first thought on seeing the headline was "oh yeah, I forgot about that guy."

He was a one game wonder against USeC breaking manziels single game passing record then he fell of the earth.
He'll be eligible when Boykin graduates so he may have a shot at TCU

Refresh my memory, which SEC school did this kid start at before being forced to transfer to Auburn because "reasons."

I'd say he made out pretty well!
Do incoming freshmen count for Fulmer Cup points? If so, UCLA is on the board (if they weren't already).

I'm glad he chose UCLA over us in retrospect. If he did sign with us only to be dismissed by Strong before arriving on campus, that would have been a major blow. I wonder if Mora will give him a second chance, assuming he doesn't serve prison time.

0-4 in BCS bowls. Fucking pathetic, Domers.
Even Michigan won a couple of BCS games.

Probably. Mora has no scruples.

After hearing Tebow was back in the NFL, I checked in on how Vince Young's comeback was progressing. Apparently it's already over as he failed to turn his combine application in on time.

No kidding.
Do Coaches count towards the Fulmer Cup?
Should have gone to the Pajole Motel 6. Learn from this, Mr. Pierre Ingram.
