Lord I just realized it’s an AP article. So stupid it’s funny.

Ok no shit…Knoxville News Sentinel Headline: South Carolina Looks Smelley in Opener. Good God, have they no shame?

The two guys in the video are actually both graduates, one in Industrial Engineering and the other in Industrial Design. Check out their M-Train videos — these guys clearly don’t take themselves too seriously, and the video was fun… not sure it was opening game jumbotron material, though.

Next step for Tech: figure out if we can do anything versus a real football team. The JSU passing game last night made me feel a little Tenuta-y squeamish… I hope we figure out how to block those short out routes one of these days.

So we’re against all cancer but skin cancer? It is a 12:30 kickoff in Florida in August. Am I missing something?

Melanoma, carcinoma, some kind of damn -noma.

+1 to the Lazy Sunday reference.

I half expected to hear a “Chronic(what?)cles of Nar-ni-A” in there somewhere.

I for one am absolutely positive that “Topless Cheerleaders Against Cancer” would do a lot more for the cause

Especially if they swept up the dollars in front of them and gave them to the cause

So, did I miss the reference to UGA in the Tech video? They seemingly can’t do anything without somehow relating it to Georgia fans’ trailers, trucks or degrees in “Recreation and Leisure Management.” I must have missed it.

I look forward to seeing this “perfect option” (again) Between The Hedges. Should be a lot of fun.

Last point: since Tech’s new coach led Ga Southern to a National Title, will Tech now condescend to help “little brother” out and let the Eagles play in ATL? Certainly scheduling a I-AA isn’t a problem for the AD there anymore and I’m sure Southern would make the trip to ATL.

I believe the correct formula to express Beecher’s playing time is:

lim (Beecher Starting) = 0
time->next week

@ 25

They are Management majors. Go on their site and watch the M-Train video, it’s pretty damn funny. Or maybe it’s just funny to Tech students, I don’t know.

Yeah I thought it was pretty funny. A fairly well done attempt at comedy for a Lazy Sunday rip off. I mean the scene with the guy playing acoustic guitar along with Buzz fiddling is comedic gold. Though I probably would leave it for the website and not play it for a stadium full of fans.

Ok, how did GT students find the time between their 9 various engineering classes to make that video? Anyone?

@ #16

Anyone who wants a good laugh at a gigantic nerd trying to make fun of much more successful nerds who are good football fans, simply google “ertai” and follow the first (or second) link.

Just saying.

The all-white uniforms to “white out” cancer? Please. They chose white because it’s a noon game in Florida in August, and their opponents are from Hawaii, and will be wearing all black. Why not “black out” cancer or even wear all-blue against cancer?

I will give Johnson this, it does appear that this players at least know what they are doing with that type of offense. The option is not an easy system to master in one year, but his players seem (from what i can tell via highlights) to be coached very well. Now how they can compete talent-wise with the biggies, who knows?
