vatz22au 142 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Had more experience than Shockley right? 235085[/snapback] Yet Shockley out-performed him on just about every level. Ball is far from "seasoned" How many times has GT's fans called for him to be replaced? After half the games the last 2 years? Is that being too generous? 235086[/snapback] I figured seasoned meant he had experience as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltoomer 0 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Starting a totally new backfield in game 1 against a good GA Tech team with a seasoned QB... Whoh.....what? Seasoned QB? 235012[/snapback] Auburn beat the Bulldogs. Tech beat Auburn. And the Hurricanes. Next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say popular. I didn't say spectacular. I didn't say fantastic. I didn't say future Heisman winner. I just said seasoned because he had a good bit of experience as a starter. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURaptor 1,123 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm not 'scared' so much as I am concerned. Being scared of losing to WSU isn't what comes to mind. Concerned that CTT will see this as 'just another pre-season' game and starting off slowly does have me a bit on edge. I say we don't only have to win, but win big, in order to gain back ANY respect we had after 2004. By winning 'big', I simply mean by more than 10 - 14 pts. There's no point in expecting a 30 pt blow out. WSU won't be a push over ( Remeber a hapless GT back in 2003? 2005? ) We'd better not overlook this game. GT and Wisconsin are all we need to be reminded of what happens when we underestimate teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been the QB of Tech for the last 3 years. Has yet to beat us once and IMO I hope he gets a lifetime pass to stay as Tech's QB for however long he wants.

OKieAuburnDoug 1 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 the `02 game had a dropped td pass (Mix), and a horrific 4th and 1 spot @ the USC 12...take away those two and it's a whole nother ball game!!

Let me try again: the dictionary says that "seasoned" is a synonym (do you understand "synonym"? am I going too fast?) for "inured". Inured means "to make used to something by prolonged subjection". I'd say three years is prolonged. Ball was used to being quarterback. The clinker that you've spun in your web is to equate "seasoned" with "excellent" or "superior".

"Adequately" is sufficient. Ball beat Auburn. The "competent" part I also addressed in the "Auburn beat Georgia" note. Stand by your statements. That's a choice, not the truth.

quietfan 233 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I think our Georgia Tech loss was due to a rare slip in game plan by Al Borges because he wasn't quite sure how our post-Jason/Caddy/Ronnie offense would run. Everbody makes mistakes, but CAB makes very few and he won't do it again. The Wisconsin loss was an embarrassment that I attribute to our players reading their own press and not coming prepared to play. Hopefully they've learned their lesson and won't do that again either. I don't expect us to win by any ridiculous margin, but I don't expect us to be seriously threatened by WSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleDrill 178 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Since I am the one that originally used the term "seasoned," I can clarify by saying that I used "seasoned" in it's normal context and not an obscure one. This whole thread has taken a long and drawn out turn of silliness all because the interpretation of my statements was mistaken. Reggie Ball was seasoned in game 1 of 2005. Brandon Cox was a greenhorn, and it showed. That was my point. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
