The story of Georgia Tech’s football season has been written. With top 15 teams Notre Dame, and Georgia left on the schedule, Georgia Tech will not be winning another game.

This week saw a ton of upsets. Eight of the CFP selection committee’s Top 25 teams lost this week, including two of the Top 10. Of the 17 teams we had yet to eliminate last week, four lost. And none of those four teams are the sole elimination this week. I touched on this a …

This is really terrible: .@TalkinACCSports and I loathe the shot gun, short yardage, run by the QB or RB because everyone on both sidelines, the spectators and officials in the building, and the viewers at home know exactly what is coming. I’m …
