Four Things to Do To Prepare For The Season

As we slowly approach the beginning of the football season there are a few things that need to be accomplished before the kickoff. Everyone will be getting their new grills and pimp out their pick-up truck, so I strive to bring you a few of the things off the beaten path:
 
  1. First I would like to applaud Coach Johnson on his decision to wear white uniforms at home. No this isn't Bravo so I don't care about the aesthetic feeling on the field or how each color motivates our fans. This isn't about the players, really would they play with any less motivation if they wore magenta?? No this is about the fans. Every Saturday Tech fans have the question of what to wear, which game did we do best and what was I wearing at that moment. It's complicated even further by the fact that WHAT COLOR IS OUR GOLD!?!?!?! IS IT YELLOW, GOLD, BRONZISH!! What in the world are our colors. AND THEN PEOPLE START WEARING BLUE!!! It is quite annoying. But now we have white home uniforms, so let's go for the WHITE OUT!! Think about how excited people get when they see some snow on the ground in Atlanta, we could make Bobby Dodd look like it got hit by a avalanche. There's only one shade of white, unless you go to Home Depot. (Eggshell is not a color, its trash)
  2. Speaking of snow, now is a good time to get caught up on the winter shopping. I'm sure plenty of fans were surprised when they had to travel to Boise for the Smurf Bowl, (Did anyone even go??) so in hopes of avoided that situation, start buying those heavy coats now. I think the bowl streak won't end, and if it doesn't it won't be in sunny S. Florida. A heavy coat would come in handy when traveling to San Fran., Boise or even Washington D.C.
  3. On your way back from JC Penny's make sure to stop by your drug store and stock up on those Tums, especially the fruity ones, they're like candy!!! With an offense that is still developing and a defense that can easily hold almost every opponent below 20 points, there will plenty of tense moments late in games. Expect a lot of 10-7 or 14-13 scores, especially early in the year. Those little white tablets will really help digestion, and that's a win-win for everyone.
  4. Staying on the Gastric Intestinal Tract, may I suggest consulting a local physician about inserting a catheter for those really tense moments. There are plenty of benefits for this out of the box medical procedue:
    • Coach Johnson's offense has been predicated on scoring quickly. He has been tops in the NCAA in average time of scoring drives. Do you really want to be in the bathroom when Dwyer puts together an 80-yard run? I didn't think so.
    • New Clock rules will be in effect this year. Officials are claiming the same number of plays will occur, just the game will take a lot less time. The prediction is 10-12 minutes being cut in average game length. Big plays will be happening more often and the time can't be wasted standing behind the guy with 'stage-fright'
    • It was easier before to take a break when Tech's offense had 2nd and 30 to assume we'd get our best player on the field, Durant Brooks, and allow for a little free time to visit the concession stand and a few other places. Now Coach Johnson brings his military academy mentality and the penalties will be down the tube. No penalties, no free-time. MORE SCORING!!!
Honestly, please don't do Item #4, but if you do when the police ask, make sure you say it was Mark Richt's idea.
 
So there you go, just a few things to remember when getting ready for Kickoff 2008.
