Furman has beaten Tech in the past (80's), WCU almost beat them in the 1-10 season, Citadel has given them a game or two.
If App State can beat Wake... GSU can certainly take on GT. Akron, 1-AA isn't quite as pittiful as you make out. And, if GT was fielding an O'Leary team this season...your right...they'd beat us 90 out of 100 games. But, they're not fielding an O'Leary squad this season. They are fielding a mashed together group of unruly INDIVIDUALS and calling it a team. 6 starters flunk out because of grades. That, my friend, is trouble in the hen house.
Don't get me wrong here, I am a Tech fan. Have been all my life. But, I'm a GSU alumnus FIRST! ...and this is a smack board.
I watched Tech play last season... If that is what they can do with ALL their talent...I KNOW GSU CAN BEAT THEM. And if Akron wants a piece, they can try putting us on the schedule to.
The only team that has the brass tacks to give us a once-every-four-year invite is UGA. The ONLY reason they do it is the Erk connection. Nobody in 1-A every calls us. Our AD has to hunt every season to find a 1-A with and open spot....they STILL say no.
UK last season, no. Same with Ole Miss. UF won't play us again. Oregon State has publically anounced that we are never invited back. Chan Gailey himself said that GSU will never be put on the schedule.
That ain't disrespect, my friend, THAT IS FEAR.
