Georgia Tech drubbed Miami tonight 41-23. Kenematics was taught and the backs of the Miami jerseys were peppered with cleat marks.  For those of use not striving to be astronauts and who don’t understand physics all you need to know is the following: The Ramblin’ Wreck ran for 472 yards and had nine rushes that gained over 20 yards. Domination!
Laptops were left at home and locked up with the women and children
So aside from the fact that Miami got embarrassed on national tv why am I so happy? Because Virginia Tech once again controls their own destiny to represent the ACC Coastal in Tampa. Â If we do anything except beat Duke and UVA expect this blog to reach meltdown status for the remainder of the year.

I’m going to be brutally honest, here, CGB. The possibility of our conference champion finishing 9-5 this scares me senseless.
This may be the worst team that Virginia Tech has fielded since 1997. I am deathly afraid of what it would say about our conference if THIS Virginia Tech team were to win the ACC.

@Tar Heel Mania
We would win the conference at 9-4, not 9-5. I am not really convinced a 10-3 team looks that much better on paper than a 9-4 team. I would reason it as VT already beat the two 3 loss teams (UNC, GT) and if they win the conference would have beaten another 3 loss team from the Atlantic.
Regardless I think it will confirm what everyone has said all along, the ACC has 12 very good but not one great team. It will be interesting to see which young team next year makes the leap to conference powerhouse.

You’re probably right. At this point, whomever comes out of this conference wouldn’t do anything to affect the overall impression of the ACC.

The only way the perception will change is if we kick ass during Bowl Season.

lol @ x(t) = x + vt + (.5)at^2
Georgia Tech, a learning institution.
(Just in case you don’t know, that equation is totally wrong. It should be y(t) = y + v(sin (theta))(t) + (.5)at^2)

I am not surprised that someone anonymously pointed that out as no one would really want to admit knowing that formula.

WOW.. seriously?

look it up.
you just got schooled. literally.

Yes, technically x(t) = x + v(cos(theta))t + (.5)at^2 (I take that they let out the cos and/or sin for simplicities sake). However, using the axes that they themselves have labeled, the a in question would be zero leading to the trivial equation x = x +vt. Since they clearly showed the parabolic path of the ball in the air, I’m guessing that they wanted to show the “reason” behind why a projectile takes on a parabolic path. y(t) = y + v(sin(theta))t +(.5)at^2 where a =g would be the “reason” why.
I don’t need to look up kinematics equations, I’ve actually graduated from high school.

You all are missing the point. Kinematics wrt to the forward pass is pointless as GT is an option team.
