re: The Loss to Tech

We can debate it all day long but when the actual coach who made the decision along with homer media personalities who go out of their way to never put a negative spin on Richt.....along with 95% of fans say it was a bad call, perhaps the few who debate the other side are just doing so to play devils advocate. Does not change the fact that the overwhelming consensus, which includes the coach, is that the call was wrong.

Not playing devil's advocate at all. Of course CMR and others feel like that call was the turning point and it lost us the game. I get that and I understand why people think that way. I just don't agree with it.

I'll say it again, regardless of whether or not it was a bad call, all it did was help wipe out the win in regulation. It did not-I repeat again-did not lose us the game. The loss came in OT due to our defense being unable to keep GT out of the end zone as well as the bad throw by Mason to clinch it. If we kick it deep and they get a great return that sets them up for a FG to tie it, we still would have to win the game in OT. We didn't do that.

Even I agree that kicking it deep would have been a better call, but I say that with knowledge of how the game concluded. And I'll say it again: no one would question that call had we stopped GT and won the game in regulation.
