Sour Oranges!!
I was certainly dissappointed by Tech's loss in this years Orange Bowl. I thought they would beat Kansas handily! They fought hard but apparently not enough to come out on top. As I watched them play, I noticed that some of the playcalling was a bit, well for lack of a better term, stupid. They kept trying to go to the air and complete these long bomb throws when they didn't need to do that. It appeared to be "desparate" football when desparation wasn't needed. I sat and watched Brandon Orr run consecutively for 4,5,6, & 11+ yds in the 2nd qtr. I thought they would certainly come out running it down their throats in the 2nd half but no...they went back to that throw, throw, INT offense. If what you're doing doesn't work...change it! Brandon was certainly getting chunks of yards and should have been allowed to run until he dropped. Tech would have certainly done much better w/this. Kansas had no answer to stop him! If I can see this...why oh why can't the coaches? Well done Brandon Orr! I hope you got MVP for your performance. The team fought hard..the coaches let them down imo
