Talk Like a Pirate Day

Tomorrow, September 19th, is "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

I've seen this around the interweb, and just have to say wow, it's one hell of a coincidence that it falls on the biggest day of the Tech's season. Will Leach require his team to communicate in pirate speak all day? And if so, does this cause communication problems which we can take advantage of?

Also, smartfootball has an excellent article, posted on Dr. Saturday, deconstructing the X's and O's of Tech's offense and how Muschamp will attack. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Deconstructing-In-which-Will-Muschamp-takes-Mik?urn=ncaaf,190307

Enjoy.

Vertical Passing Game

Does anyone else have concerns about our lack of a vertical passing attack? I guess i'm curious about whether it's a matter of taking what the defense gives us; lack of arm strength to throw deep and/or across the field (pots, deep outs, comebacks, etc.); lack of talent at receiver to run those routes; or has GD just been playing high %, conservative ball, hoping to open it up when he needs it?

Chris Whaley

I saw Chris Whaley in the stadium co-op at halftime. He was actually signing a few autographs for some old men, so i decided not to bother him (aside from staring at him for 10 minutes). To say he is huge is an understatement. As i was walking out i slowed down and told him to give em hell next year, to which he soflty replied "yes sir". Now that the two of us have become BFF, i've decided that he'll be our savior at RB next year.
