Coastal division tiebreaker update, Tech-UGAy gametime, etc.

I've got a busy afternoon and night ahead, so I'm gonna have to keep this short.

So it appears I was a bit off on my analysis of the tiebreaker situation...it appears we will be on the losing end of any three- or four-way tie situation in the Coastal (probably due to our 1-3 division record, 2-3 if we beat Thug U). Thankfully, the good folks over at TheLegacyx4 cleared things up a bit. For us to win the Coastal, three things have to happen:

(1) We beat Miami on Thursday night.
(2) UNC loses to either NC State (11/22) OR Duke (11/29)
(3) VPI beats UVA, after losing to Duke OR UVA beats VPI, after losing to Clemson

If all this happens, it would put UNC, UVA, and VPI at 4-4 and Tech and Miami at 5-3. Since we would have the head-to-head win, we'd advance to play the Atlantic division (which is also a mess) winner in Tampa in ~3 weeks.

Tech-UGAy Gametime Announced

Looks like we got an early-bird special for the annual Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate game. CBS picked up the game for a noon telecast. Kinda lame, but at least the UGAy fans won't be so rowled up from drinking all day.

The Bunny Returns...one last time

So I've been semi-pressured into being the bunny again for our last home game (not to mention my last game as a student), so it looks like the bunny is gonna happen. It'll actually work out pretty well since a) it's the whiteout (though I'll have my whiteout shirt on) and b) it's supposed to be in the low-30s/upper-20s by gametime on Thursday (personal forecast based on Weather.com report). While all the other fans are freezing on Thursday, I'll be nice and cozy inside the inferno that is the bunny suit :) So if you're there or watchin on ESPN, look for a bunny. Tech is 1-2 all time with the bunny (1-0 this season), so hopefully Tech can come through and even up the bunny legend before it sees its end.

I probably won't be posting again til Thursday, as it looks to be a pretty full week. Until next time, Go Jackets!
