Midweek garbage football thread

Yeah, Tech does that as well, but the players have zero shot at graduation for the most part.  If they are elite, they can choose an SEC school or Clemson etc. and have at least a pathway to some kind of degree, if they are academically challenged.  It may be consumer economics, whatever that is.

In my day, it was "Spanish".

This is why I'd favor UGA dropping Tech on the schedule.  The SEC is going to 9 conference games eventually, leaving three left for OOC of course, if one is Tech, it limits options for playing the Wisconsins and Ohio States of the world.

(UGA already had to drop their OOC games with Texas and OU for other reasons.)

I really enjoy significant OOC games.  Tech isn't one of them.

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.

this can be easily remedied

if the admin really cares about football

[Cincydawg]

I doubt the Admin at Tech has sufficient interest in changing the Rules, and I'm not sure it would help much anyway.  Put Prime at Tech as a draw, great, he would attract a few players I think on style points alone, and maybe lose a few to academic stuff, but largely, players are going to look harder at programs with a proven track record and facilities.

NC State-Virginia Tech tonight.  Now that's the crappy ACC Thursday Night content I like to see

Come on. Don’t you think that field goal before halftime was exciting?

Mullen does a nice job as a color analyst.

This is the Thursday night content I'm here for.  I feel like the games were always bad, we were just so starved for football off Saturday, we didn't care

How did Virginia Tech fall off so hard, so fast?

Utah at Wazzu underway in fs1.   That's a swell match-up.  No rising tonight.

Shutdown Fullcast noted that since the SWC-Big XII merger, Wazzu has more 9 win seasons than Texas A&M

That VT lead vanished quickly.
