Midweek garbage football thread
« on: October 20, 2022, 08:02:17 PM »
Probably because the NFL has scared ESPN away from showing halfway decent games on Thursday night, but we never got this thread going this year. It's a horrible game, but having Virginia vs Georgia tech on Thursday night is like a bowl of your mother's chicken noodle soup.  It just tastes like nostalgia

Every Thursday WVU game has been great.  This matchup isn't as exciting.

I'd much rather watch Thursday night college ball then the crap the NFL plays on Thursdays.

GT dropping the option irks me for many reasons, but a big one is that their Thursday games could at least get kinda weird. 

It's also wild how their pace obscured some fairly interesting half-teams (better offense than you thought, much worse defense), but that's another story.

They injured a lot of players with the PJ offense in their day.  I hated it.

Of course now they are trying to play standard football and have zero shot.

Deion would up their recruiting, obviously, but Tech has some basic core academic requirements that will limit that significantly.  They do offer a kind of three year "plan" that avoids some of these requirements.  You'd never get a degree of course that way.  Maybe they could contrive another major like "consumer economics" (remember when the TV would show player majors?).  Last I heard, everyone there had to take calculus to graduate.

They have that doddering old crappy stadium and outdated equipment that still would exist.

From what I've heard (mainly from Andy Staples) is not the admissions requirements, schools can generally get around that, but that GT doesn't have majors to hide kids in once they are there.  Keeping kids eligible is the real obstacle.
