"Humiliating": The Atlanta Journal Constitution on the BG Win

So, the team might have moved on past Georgia Tech, but we have one more thing.

My favorite thing for years as been to read the opposing papers the day after we pull an upset like this.  It never disappoints.  It KILLS them to lose to us...which makes it all the most satisfying to me. Something like this.


So let's wade into the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

  • There’s no light way to put it: What a humiliating afternoon it was Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. 
  • This was the lowest point of coach Brent Key’s tenure. It was a pathetic showing for any program, let alone one with bowl aspirations.
  • “That was an embarrassing display of football,” Key said. “An epic of a failure as you can possibly have. All three phases, all aspects of the program.”
  • How disgraceful for a program that seemingly was trending in the right direction.
  •  A troubling admission from senior linebacker Paul Moala: “For sure (we overlooked this team). 
  • Woah nelly, the red flags. The words “lackadaisical” and “overlooking” are concerning. 
  • If the Jackets continue playing as they did Saturday, no bowl will even want them watching from the stands.
  • Except this misstep might be worse considering the circumstances – and that, again, Tech just should’ve been past this. The fans concurred, as their recurring boos indicated. 
  • “It was that far,” Key said, holding his hands to indicate how close the first-down marker was. “If we can’t sneak a football that far, we don’t deserve to win a football game.”
  • Bowling Green converted 10 of 17 third downs, including nine of 13 across the first three quarters. Last we checked, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes aren’t running that offense.
Ahhhhhh.  Let it wash over you. It never disappoints.  HA.  HA.
