Whiteout! (my last game as a student too...)

Tonight's showdown between the Jackets and Canes (7:30, ESPN) at BDS marks my last time cheering on the boys in White and Gold as a student at this great school.

Instead of any sort of in-depth analysis, I'm just gonna post some links related to tonight's game, followed by a prediction and a snippet of my reasons.

Solid piece by Heather Dinich (ESPN's ACC blogger) about expectations for both teams coming into this season. No one really thought much of these two teams, but have gotten to the point where this is now a ACCCG-elimination game for both teams, who are a combined 14-6 (who'da thought?).

Apparently, Thug U isn't comfortable with the thought of cold temps, like what will be tonight at BDS. Miami freshman QB Robert Marve hasn't played in less than 57 degrees (earlier this year at Duke), so it should be interesting to see how their offense (which is currently 92nd in the nation in terms of total yards) fares in the ~30 degree weather. Granted, the bunny will be nice and warm while others are freezing :D

Our fan base needs to stop being stupid and suck it up and freakin wear white to the WHITEOUT. People like Tony Yetman of Kennesaw need to stop whining and start supporting our team. Seriously. This is just embarassing.

Lastly, great post by the guys over at TheLegacyx4 about the greatness of College Football. When you step back and look at the entire event of a college football game (not just the three hours of pigskin), it really is a thing of beauty. It's the second biggest thing I will miss about being a Tech student (the first being the people).

Prediction

Tech pulls out a win in the bunny's last appearance. I'm thinkin 20-14 good guys. Our D forces a few turnovers that Miami's offense can't overcome. We'll pull out a W regardless of who plays more at QB (though I hope Nesbitt doesn't overdo it so he's out of gas by next week's game at athens community college). The Whiteout helps too, making it tough for the Miami QBs to see our defensive players (they'll be in white too).

If you're attending tonight (or watching on tv, for that matter), be looking for a bunny in the student section! Not only is the suit white, but I'll have my Whiteout shirt on (which I picked up this morning). And last of all, WEAR WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll leave yall with a video of what happened last time Thug U came into our house for some pigskin...
