FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU; FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME. Georgia Tech, FIU, Duke.
I’m **** happy I played in the era I did, started from 8th grade through college. Enough with the coaches, the schemes, the administration.
In the end, it comes down to a football player stepping over that chalk line and entering a world where you beat the guy over you more often than he beats you, to be successful. Upsets are part of football, But if you allow subpar teams of other conferences with far less talent to beat you regularly, it’s more a statement about who you are as a football player - period.
There’s just no place to hide that, they own it - it's their 2019 legacy (a reduction in the Brand). Just like if you're in an infantry platoon (team) and down to the squad (position). In the absence of great leadership, your team leaders step up. When it hits the fan in combat, you fight (play) for the brother next to you who have shared your misery and your journey good/bad/indifferent. If you're not doing that, team leaders tune you up.
You guys go ahead and tear it up, but a team that could play with Florida, beat Virginia and "upcoming" Louisville, yet play so listless and bad against not just GT (that should have been the ultimate wake-up call and lesson for the ages), but repeat it with FIU or Duke is lost and devoid of many things - including team will.
