That Wake game came back for me in full force on the 2-point conversion. Of course we could at least use the Ted Roof excuse in aught-two. This year it was John Tenuta “Sooper Genius” who looked absolutely bewildered on in the box as they ran play after play where poor Gerris had to cover a guy clearly faster than him, because we blitzed the fucking CB again.

The worst part was listening to Pam Ward and that other fucker talk about how this game will get pro-scouts interested in Brett “Pop-Gun” Ratliff. I don’t think I saw him throw a ball over 20 yards the entire game. He was just accurate and poised. Two words that will never be associated with Reggie Ball in this lifetime.

Wake Forest ‘02 is what that reminded me of. The same play over and over and over and over and over and over with the same dumb look on Gailey’s face. This GT team makes me sick at times, actually … most of the time. Ugh. I need to borrow Joey for a day to fully communicate my displeasure.

An ACC team playing in that unbelievably crappy bowl in the first place is a whole different issue. Boise and San Francisco?!?!?! HEY SWOFFORD, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT AND REMEMBER YOU HAVE FOOTBALL TEAMS IN THIS CONFERENCE. Seriously, you already have BOISE and decide to add another trash bowl? WHAT ABOUT WORKING ON MAYBE AN OUTBACK BOWL BIRTH OR SOMETHING?

Doug,

You also forgot:

Wake Forest in ‘02 – The So Counter Traps Are Like Post Routes Game

Clemson in ‘03 – The So Games Are 4 Quarters, Who Knew Game

I’m tempted to but VT in ‘04 up there since we completely collapsed in the 4th quarter and quit moving the football, but it wasn’t an unprepared game just a crappy one.

Orson,
Since we’re going into a new year and all (i.e. fresh starts…), how much will it take for you to replace that image at the top of the page of S. Superior???

Happy New Year, hear’s to a great 2006!

I, too, watched the Utah-GT game just to have something on. Over on Paul Westerdawg’s blog I compared it to the college-football-junkie equivalent of an alcoholic raiding the cupboard and drinking all the vanilla extract, but in this case I was treated to a truly stunning outcome — not stunning in the sense that Utah won, perhaps, but stunning that Tech just got so completely posterized.

I don’t know that Gailey’s biggest problem is his average-ness on offense — plenty of teams run completely boring offenses in D-IA and manage to do fine. The biggest black mark against Gailey, as I see it, is that there’s always going to be at least one or two embarrassing, surprising, season-kiboshing games every year in which he completely fails to prepare his team or get them motivated (Georgia and Fresno ‘02, Duke ‘03, North Carolina ‘04, and now this). Of course, follow the chain of causation for that and you end up on the desk of Dave Braine, who’s basically told Gailey (and the rest of the fan base) that mediocrity is A-OK. It’s kind of like he’s Peter Gibbons in “Office Space,” post-hypnosis: “I’m just gonna go down to Bobby Dodd Stadium and have a football season, and if you want to win ten games and go to the ACC Championship that’d be great, and if not, you want to go 7-5 and get a shitty bowl bid, that’s OK too.” With that kind of attitude, it’s no wonder Gailey has gotten the impression that one or two completely half-assed performances are totally acceptable (not to mention consequence-free).

Of course, as a Georgia fan, I’m loving it.

Does this mean that Pope Urban I has officially expurgated the Chan-man from the Gator books?

If CG can work such wonders with a month to prepare, I can’t imagine what he’ll do with 9 months before the opener with ND!

Chan Gailey who?

See, you’re right!

Since I can�t accurately describe the level to which Chan Gailey has perfected the art of being a complete shit-for-brains, I�ve asked Georgia Tech alum Jeff Foxworthy to riff on this for me. Sure, he may not be that funny, but he�s made 100 million bucks cracking jokes, and I�m busting away on a blog for Jack F. Squat. Screw it, I�m going to go have a drink with Ron White. Take it, Jeff�

If, because of sheer football idiocy, you�ve been banned from ever returning to both Dallas and Miami, you might be Chan Gailey.

If Lindsey Lohan knows more about conducting a drive than you do, you might be Chan Gailey.

If your offense reeks so bad that even the loneliest dog wouldn�t hump its leg, you might be Chan Gailey.

If Florida Gator fans deny your existence, you might be Chan Gailey.

If you are going to get sued by Jeff Foxworthy for cribbing his bit, you might be the guy who really hates Chan Gailey.
