Where did I say that we've never done it? Here's an example of your team doing it and not being called for it. Thornton had to be helped off the field afterwards and missed the SECCG with Bama because of this.

It's always good times when someone speaks negatively about Georgia Tech.

Do you want tackling below the waist to be eliminated as well?
I'm glad Duke fans don't try to defend charge calls/flopping en masse like GT fans have to defend those dirty cheating career threatening chop blocks
I imagine that's because Duke actually wins championships every once in a while.

Here is a key difference. Teams are actually getting called for charging when they play Duke. GT isn't getting called for chop blocks. You apparently seem to think we chop block all the time and we are getting away with it. Almost every minute of our games are online right now. Give us a few examples of obvious chop blocks that should have been called. Otherwise, quit crying about it.

Good, good times.
You sound awfully sympathetic to the legion of chop blocking evil. You've already taught some Pop Warner kids to go high and low on sweeps, haven't you.
HAVEN'T YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. I teach kids what a chop block actually is. Even they can comprehend it while Duke and UGA fans struggle with the concept.
Georgia Tech sucks.
Since when did I compare Richt to Muschump or any other coach in the ACC? You said anyone in the ACC would be glad to have him. I said that's a low bar because ACC.
Whereas GT fans struggle with the concept of showing up for games

yellowjacket, please keep erupting at every perceived Georgia Tech slight. Perhaps we can get a few more of them today.
In the meantime, we have actual news. Jameis Winston's attorney wants to delay the FSU hearing, which is currently scheduled for a week from Monday (November 17).

Chop blockers are like droids at a Mos Eisley cantina, We don't serve your kind here.
And you should be ashamed to teach kids such a dirty cheating tactic and then telling them how to lie about it.
For shame.
And I'm saying Muschamp would still be inadequate a head coach, even in the ACC, whereas Richt could help another team win. He steals enough players from NC that he'd be a huge hit for UNC or NCSU.
I'm thinking January 15th or so would work for him.

When I was in high school my American and World History teacher would use the term Georgia Tech engineers when describing bad ideas and such.
Example: The army, obviously using those famous Georgia Tech engineers, built a fort on a swamp and then wondered why they had issues keeping things dry.
He managed to get digs in at Georgia Tech all the time when I was in high school.

Well if there is anyone who's opinion I really value on advanced engineering topics, it is a high school history teacher.

Can't really argue with this. GT will never have great fan support. It is what it is.
It was said in jest. He was a Georgia alum and liked poking fun at Georgia Tech whenever he could.
You should probably Go ly dow.

hi all! just (finally) got access to gaf today. long time lurker, huge college football fan, alabama alum (i know, hate me hate me) but i'm not a biased bammer like most of my schools fanbase. really looking forward so many other games BESIDES the obvious bama/lsu showdown.
anyways, my question to you guys is this: if k state pulls off the win tomorrow, where do you think they should be rightfully ranked?

They'll probably just take TCU's current spot (6th). K-State still would have @ WVU and @ Baylor to play so I wouldn't put them as a playoff threat as they'll more than likely lose to one of those teams. However, if they do survive that gauntlet they would deserve a spot.

K-State will have to win their championship game.
Bama-GAF is not unlike Packer GAF, but mre is much more likable than Eznark.
They should play Notre Dame

The big 12 plays everyone so there's no need for a championship game. It will be interesting if TCU and Baylor end up with the same record though. Baylor beat TCU and would become Big 12 champions because of that, but TCU will likely remain ranked ahead of Baylor due to Baylor's shitty OOC schedule. TCU at least played a decent Minnesota team OOC, while Baylor's toughest opponent was Buffalo.
Too bad we have no Virginia Tech fans here to confirm the hypothesis.

I would love to see ND play the winner of the big 12 every year during championship weekend.
I would have thought he would have won that fight.

Isn't the round robin format the one that frequently produces like 2-4 "champions" per year? With the "top champ" getting a big bowl or whatever due to poll ranking or other tie breaking factor like that?

Make it mandatory.
13 game SEC, ACC, Big Ten schedules GO!
Same in basketball, except home and home.
26 game SEC and Big Ten schedules, 28 game ACC schedule GO!

Seems like a lot of the consensus from the local media around here is Urban knows something. Saying he's never this calm before games, echoing back to how he was during 07 title game lead up.

I wish GT fans would just be honest:
"Yeah, we know cut blocking is dangerous and can lead to many injuries but it's how our coaching staff chooses to play football. We don't have D1 talent on our o-line and so our only option is to just throw ourselves at your knees."
"Yeah, we know cut blocking is dangerous and can lead to many injuries but it's how our coaching staff chooses to play football. We don't have D1 talent on our o-line and so our only option is to just throw ourselves at your knees."
Isn't this just how triple option teams work? Citadel destroyed us with injuries because of all the cut blocks.
What sort of thing do osu fans think he knows?
yellowjacket25

There are a lot of perfectly legal football plays that can cause injuries. Cut blocks just happen to be one of them that are used by nearly every team at the professional and college level. If you want to petition the NCAA to outlaw blocking or tackling below the waist then go for it. I personally don't really care. While you are at it, go ahead and ask them if 2 hand touch might be a better way to play, or maybe ask if your team can start wearing skirts during the game. If getting hurt during a football game is a problem for your team then get that group of pansies on your sideline to play badminton instead and quit crying.

im sure he definitely knows that he has to win this one to stay relevant among the 'elite coaches'. not saying that it will put him on the hot seat by losing by any means, we all know what happened to braxton and whatnot, but a loss tomorrow would be what, the 4th straight loss against a top 10 team? i know the cards havent exactly fell in his favor by losing his heisman-hopeful QB but he has yet to produce a signature win during his tenure there, which kind of negates the 24 game winning streak IMO

Calm down, guy. It's not my fault your team is ass terrible and needs to use dirty blocking every play.
Include everyone in the conference championship like basketball.
Winner is the one left standing.
