COUNTDOWN 2009: 14

I miss Jack Handey.

Orson, you misspelled Dawgs.

Great picture!

But at least he went with the chihuahua who can actually count to 4. We miss you, Reggie.

Reggie? Isn’t that Joe Hamilton?

If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn’t open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.

Hell of a quarterback! I’ll always remember going to the GT – FSU game in 1999.

Ron Dayne my ass.

That is Joe Hamilton, not Reggie Ball. Just start watching football a few years ago?

Reggie gets a lot of crap that a student-athlete shouldn’t have to put up with.

That having been said, since he failed out his last semester, I don’t feel bad in the least saying that he’s probably the worst 4-year starter in NCAA history and he earned every single word of criticism directed his way.

Hooray Joe Hamilton, though. I’ve gotten the chance to talk with him before and he’s really a great person. Really nice, down-to-earth guy. I’ll always remember the 1998 GT-UVA game where we were down 31-10 at the half and came back to win 41-38 with Hamilton going crazy and Dez White setting the school single-game receiving yardage record with 243 yards (as I remember). Great, great game. I was 15 at the time and my dumbass 12 year-old little brother read a book the entire game. Didn’t look up once. He likes football now, though.

Arp. Reggie Ball. Arp. Excuses from lame duck Defensive Coordinators. Arp. Covering an ineligible wide receiver. Arp.

Joe Hamilton in Tech’s current offense would be completely unfair; they’d have to make him wear a lead flak vest to give defenses a chance.

Yeah, because Tech’s QBs fared so well last year and Jaybo Shaw is 100% healthy at present, thanks to practice. PRACTICE, to borrow a line from AI.

Granted, Hamilton might pick up tons of yards for a while, but once someone like Nigel Bradham or Quan Sturdivant gets a running start, Hamilton would suffer a much worse fate than Nesbitt, who could not play a 12 game season. Nesbitt has at least 40 lbs on Hamilton.

Senator Blutarsky has a great piece on Tech’s QBs in Johnson’s offense, who really have a bullseye on their chests.

NOT THAT I’M ANXIOUS FOR THE SEASON TO START, but wasn’t there talk about more posts? My guess is that activity picks up when the season does. Pro football in my neck of the woods sucks balls and is no help during the pre or regular seasons.

We’re still doubled up at the moment. Next week commences full-timin’.

NONE of Nesbitt’s injuries last season were caused by anyone from the opposing team

Did someone mention “ineligible?” Because when I saw this photo, that was the first word that popped in my little pea brain. Well, that and “academically.”

Arp. Bitches.

Re: responses to #4

And you guys claim to have a smarter school. Read the post. It says:

“At least they went with the chihuahua who can count to 4…” He was talking about Joe Hamilton you morons. The Reggie crack was just a hilarious addendum.

A.R.P. – Abundance of Running back Prowess

We’re coming for y’all this year. 14 days. G.A.T.A.

Helluva football player that Hamilton. I remember his Senior year, whenever they faked the option and he took two steps back, you could just raise your arms because someone was wide-open straight down the middle, touchdown. If that team had only had a defense, yeah I’m looking at you t"wo steps too slow" Brooking.

hamilton for heisman! man, 1998, first year at college and first year into college football. smith dorm was some kind of shithole. GO JACKETS, STING ’EM!
