Clinch + Gani + Alade = Joy

Three combined for 64 of team's 86 points. Team shooting over 50% on FG's doesn't hurt. On to Florida State!

Wait! What?! There's MORE Basketball?

You mean we play basketball? Today? Oh. I thought you were kidding.
Oh wait, you were serious! Here in Atlanta? It's the ACC Tournament? No way. Who do we play again?


At least one more game on the schedule for the season. We play Clemson somewhere between 2:00-2:30 PM today. Can Tech pull of the win? We have seen stranger things happen (see last year in Atlanta....a tornado, the SEC on our court, etc) Lewis Clinch believes miracles can happen!

Either way, one member of The Legacy crew will be in attendance cheering on Georgia Tech for at least one more time this season. The winner gets F$U in the the second round, clearly an easier foe to upset than UNC, Duke or Wake Forest.


Here's the ESPN Preview of our game.
ACCSports take a look at the entire tournament
And finally Larry Hartstein blogs it.

Let's make some magic.

Boo Clemson Tigers, Hurray Beer!

Cheers to a possible GT victory over Clemson! A toast to all Tech fans making the trip and a toast to all the Clemson fans who found out they were dating their cousins this week! WOOHOO!

The Road to Clemson

To GT fans on the way to Clemson today:
Be careful. The roads are littered with the burnt out cars of Clemson fans. That's right, as the GT bus passed by Clemson fans' cars, all passengers inside spontaneously combusted. This happens once a year as GT enters the Palmetto State for its annual trip to Littlejohn. South Carolinians can only handle so much greatness and the sheer epicness of the GT team bus excited the molecules in their bodies just enough to cause spontaneous combustion. Yes, Clemson fans are pyrophoric as we would call it in hazardous waste management. Any time they get a little excited about their teams, implosion is inevitable...CHEERS TO A POSSIBLE GT VICTORY. To Hell with Clemson.

Beat Clemson

Let's get serious.

Clemson Thoughts

It's one of those days at work right now so look for updates later this afternoon. But for now, we all know the game was exciting as hell. What are your thoughts and opinions on the game? the future? the players,etc?

Post in the comments!

Clemson Preview

Well it's Clemson Week, let's watch something that makes us all smile



Ahh yeah that's better, much better.

Date: October 18, 2008
Time: 12 Noon (bleh)
TV: ESPN
Will The Legacy crew be there?: Hellz yeah! Dane and I roll in Friday afternoon!


So we all know about the turmoil that's gone on in Clemson: Tommy Bowden is fired, interim coach fires the OC, and Cullen Harper says things he shouldn't be saying in public. What chaos! What a disaster for tiger fans! At the beginning of the year, I said that we were going to lose to Clemson and probably lose to Clemson big. Now, I am not as worried. More confident of a win honestly. On to the what-if's!

Clemson wins if: The 3-point stance makes that much of a difference, Dabo Swinney pulls wild cards out of his ass, and the team bands together to try to salvage the 2nd half of the season. Clemson may still hold the athletic advantage over the Jackets but do they hold the team advantage? The answer is uncertain. What about Willy Korn? The running combo of him and James Davis (AKA Thunder) will have to be enough. In regards to passing, if there is a passing game, Block-C is praying for Aaron Kelly to come through.

Georgia Tech wins if: They take advantage of the Clemson turmoil. No way Monday was a productive practice day. That gives them only 4 days to practice and prepare for Georgia Tech. Josh Nesbitt is back. Jonathon Dwyer is chompin' at the bit to prove that he is for real and that Gardner-Webb was a fluke. Tech wins if the D-Line stops James Davis (no C.J. Spiller!) from the running game. Willy Korn flakes ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuut. I have very little doubt that we come out unprepared for this game. Lord knows how much Paul Johnson beat our team into the ground this weak, mentally and physically.

Sidenotes: George O'Leary was in Dabo Swinney's shoes back in 1994. O'Leary took over the Jackets in mid-season 1994 after B*** L**** was fired. His first game he coached was against Clemson. The Jackets lost 20-10.

My ridiculous amount of optimism continues and the Jackets take advantage of the mess and our defense carries the team...again. After Korn and Davis are stopped, no one knows what to do. Georgia Tech 24 Clemson 10.

So this week's Guest Blogger is Block-C. We both gave each other questions and our responses are on our respective sites. Be sure to go check out them and our answers out. Click here to go to Block-C.

1. Sounds like Cullen Harper kind of hated Tommy Bowden. Then again, Harper hasn't exactly been awesome. What is your take on comparing Korn and Harper, and how do you think Bowden handled the whole QB situation?

We don't think Harper really hated Tommy Bowden, we think it was more a reactionary statement to having just been thrown under the proverbial bus by Bowden. He's since backed off his statements, for what it's worth. Harper is a pocket passer with limited mobility. His accuracy is tough to gauge. It's high chiefly because of the number of short yardage passes we call. He's had a tougher time this season because he is more of a known quantity and because of poor offensive line play. Korn is a better all-around QB in our opinion, who has demonstrated great mobility in limited playing opportunities. If there is to be a great deal of pressure on the QB due to missed blocking assignments, Korn has the edge over Harper due to his running threat.

2. Dabo Swinney is the interim coach at Clemson. What, if anything special, does he bring to the table? What are his opinions toward Willy Korn vs. Cullen Harper?

Dabo brings several things to the table; some good, some bad. The bad, obviously, is a lack of head coaching experience. Another negative is that he's not had a great deal of time to settle into the interim coaching spot and to craft an overall gameplan for Georgia Tech. There are a great deal of positives here. Notably he was always one of the more popular coaches with players and recruits. His moves in his short time as interim head coach have been overwhelmingly positive: he fired woeful offensive coordinator Rob Spence, he kept Korn as starting QB, and he let line coach Brad Scott have his guys on the o-line go into a three point stance. (the last point is small but was a major point of contention with fans and some players) No idea on his thoughts or attitudes towards either player, but Korn is the starter. We expect Harper to get some PT as well.

3. Everyone at Georgia Tech is pretty high on our defensive line, and they have gotten alot of praise from past opponents. Can Clemson's offensive line handle what is probably the strongest unit the Yellow Jackets have?

This is the matchup that could stop Clemson's offense cold. Alabama's defensive line was extremely physical and shut down Clemson's offense. Certainly the line has learned since then, but this is really the worst (or best, depending on the perspective) place for an opponent to be sharp against us.

4. If you think Georgia Tech has any specific weaknesses that Clemson will try to exploit, what are they? Any specific players that we should worry about? Do you know where they will be sleeping Friday night?

We haven't scouted GT enough to know specific weaknesses. Sorry. I would say James Davis at RB for Clemson would be a player to key on, but the GT d-line may well neutralize him. Senior WR Aaron Kelly is due for a breakout game, but we've said that before about other players and it hasn't come into fruition. On the defensive side of the ball, safety Michael Hamlin has performed well and has 3 picks on the season. Freshman DE DaQuan Bowers should be fairly disruptive.

5. Pretend it is Saturday night, and as time ticks down, Clemson has more points than Georgia Tech. What did Clemson do in order to put itself in that position?

While it would have to be an epic game to wind down Saturday night seeing as how it's a noon kickoff (Editor's Note: Saturday night in Death Valley sounds more exciting), the prospect of a multiple overtime game can surely not be dismissed. If Clemson were to win it would likely be due to limiting the damage of the option attack while using a more inspired brand of playcalling than was provided by Rob Spence to actually not throw three yards behind the first down marker each third down, not run directly into piles of defenders over and over, and to make some halftime adjustments for the first time all season. Or we lose. Either one.
