Tidbits - GT vs. Gardner-Webb, Flag Football, Interview, "The Ratio" (not necessarily in that order)

So I got back last night from Boston after my interview yesterday with Mass. Electric.  It went very well (at least I thought, and I have certainly been wrong before) and I have a feeling they'll be offering me a job very soon (2 weeks at the most for a yay or nay according to them).  But I think things went pretty well for my first full-time job interview.  In the end, I know God will put me where He wants me to be, and that is incredibly reassuring.

Tomorrow marks the sixth game of the Yellow Jackets' regular season against the Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb.  I don't know enough about them for a solid pregame analysis, so I'll limit this to the following:

Key Questions for GT vs. Gardner-Webb

With possible injuries to Nebsitt and Shaw, who will be the starting quarterback for the Jackets?

It looks like Calvin Booker could get some quality PT against the Bulldogs this Saturday, but honestly it doesn't matter.  Dakota Fanning could start for us at QB and we'd still win on defensive touchdowns.  It'll be good for CB to get some snaps though, he's earned it.

Can the Bulldogs catch the Jackets looking ahead to Clemson next week?

No.  CPJ would not allow that.  But even if the Jackets were looking ahead to the showdown with the Tigers next week, Tech would still win by three TDs or more.  The talent gap is just too much.  In order for the Bulldogs to win, two things would have to happen: 1) Tech would have to be ripe for the upset and 2) GW would have to be used to winning (they are currently 2-3)

My prediction: Tech wins 49-3.  Starters out at half, but the second and third teams keep the heat on.  GW gets a late FG--Tech is definitely capable of the shutout but remember, it's very difficult to keep your opponent off the scoreboard at all in any sport, but nearly impossible to do it in two consecutive games.

The End of a Great Season...

The Big Cuddly Men's 2008 season came to an end this past Wednesday with a 26-18 loss to Backfield in Motion (CCF).  I was in Boston at the time of the game, so I couldn't play, but I was still cheering my team on from 1000 miles away.  From Jordan, our team captain, it apparently was a great game that came down to us not making a stop when we needed to and not converting a big 4th down.  They say you can't win em all, and it's true, but I'm very proud of our guys to playing the best flag football team at Tech down to the wire.  I suppose I am glad that we won the last game that I was in, but I am sad that I wasn't there to see our team play.

"The Ratio" - the GTGs

Swaff and D-Bay have done it again.  The GTGs, as they call themselves, have put out their third music video, known as "The Ratio".  For you non-Techies, the ratio refers to the high ratio of guys to girls at Georgia Tech, an anamoly among US public colleges.  The video was released last night and is already a hit on YouTube.  Great work guys and keep it up.
