I have not been in 2 years. I do understand how boring these last 2 teams have been on offense though. I would look at it as more of a family event. A day to spend time with your son and eat...

It's probably a lot of things. We have a small base, the area we pull from is challenging, LSU is good, we changed game day traditions, most games are viewable from home, weather, fans are not happy...
I wonder if it affects casual fans. This is the only free message board so they would come here to get a gauge of how happy the Tech bandwagon is and whether or not they want to jump on it. The...
Is it possible that this board plays a role? This is the darkest most depressing site on the internet. The die hards are miserable here. (While the outside world thinks Tech is rolling). It's...
Sometimes Sophomores get better in their Junior year. I thought he had a good first 4 games this year. He has sucked in the last 3. Terrible!
I took last season off and didn't see a play. I've followed the team this year. The obvious problem is at QB. A good QB would have put 35 points up by halftime in this game. He's killing this team....
See? I'm a happy guy. 5-2 baby! 😀
Here's how I'm approaching it now: I'm not on this team. I will not let it affect my life. I hope they do well. Against UTEP today, I'm expecting a sloppy Tech win... probably 24-17, or something...
Kind of.... It's becoming that way. There's more peace in my life with that motto. I guess it depends on what you value. If you value winning over peace, you will never be satisfied with "good." ...
I'll wrap this up for me (hopefully) with my subjective opinion of Holtz. I think he is a thinker, and it hurts him. I think he overthinks this game. It's the opposite of Tony Franklin. Franklin...
Yeah, that's insanity when 9 wins and bowl wins isn't enough. (to me, but we are all different). I just ope you enjoy disappointment well. :)
Here's a tip to keep you from being so butt hurt: Take every win as an accomplishment. Assume the other team has just as much right to winning the game as Tech does. Even UTEP or NW State can beat...
Maybe other teams have talent too? You know we weren't favored to win either of those Championship Games right? And if we would have made it in 2015, we would not have been favored to beat WKU (and...
My intention wasn't to argue, but to present the objective facts because a lot of subjective disinformation was being spread and that drives me nuts. Tech fans act like we were Alabama before Holtz...
He's beat plenty of teams better than those 3.
What big game did Sonny win? I can only think of at Nevada in 2011 (#48) off the top of my head. His 3 P5 wins were against #133 Illinois, #84 Virginia (barely), and #110 Ole Miss. 0-7 versus teams...
I think it was poetic justice that Dykes inherited a Cal team very similar to the Tech team he left behind (they also lost 30 Seniors and ranked last in nation in returning experience)... and went...
"You" may not "like" the trophies he has, but they are flashy for the recruits:

Great is relative to Tech football. None of them were actually great. The 3rd best Tech team was taken to OT by Central Arkansas and blew some games like the 2017 team did (Houston, Miss St, USM). ...
Are you kidding? It's 10 year old volleyball season around here. :)
First, UTSA sat home with 6 wins last year, so nothing is guaranteed. Second, 2002 (4-8), 2003 (5-7), 2007 (5-7), and 2010 (5-7) would not have gotten Tech into a bowl game today. Those spots go to...
I agree it could be better, and y'all should want better, but Holtz has given you 4 of the Top 10 teams since 1998 in his first 6 years here (and one team wasn't his fault, imo). I think he's...
Not sure I'm following. Last year was the only 6-6 team we've ever had to make a bowl game. Remove that and Holtz still has the record. Add a couple of Bick's crappy 6-6 teams and they tie? I'm...
It's Sagarin Predictor Ratings. Non-biased, objective, based on strength of schedule and the final scores of the games.
Here's the rank of each team and which ones went to bowl games:
33. 2014 Holtz (Bowl game)
35. 1999 Bicknell/Crowton
39. 2011 Dykes (Bowl game)
52. 2012 Dykes (turned down an invite)
57....
