Regarding fake punt late in game
Posted on 1/1/09 at 10:27 am

Had Tech been winning big and pulled it, how would this board react? My guess is most would be calling it a chicken shite move or classless, but since Les did it it seems to be ok. Personally I was shocked that GT didn't respond with an intentional late hit to Jefferson's knees.

There are fewer things dumber than creating threads about hypothetical hypocrisy that might occur.

The fact it is being discussed so much though? That fake field goal was GT only problem last night? GT did not play a good game and instead of ripping their team a coaching staff apart people are focused on the fake punt as if that was the game changing performance. Get over it already, no points were scored off of it, more time came off the clock and GT got pinned inside the 20 all the things you try and do when you are leading a game.

I bet many would be saying it was unsportsmanlike. It's a bowl game, though. It's a national spotlight game, recruiting is full throttle, our ranking in the final polls is affected, which also affects our ranking to start next year. I wouldn't have called out any team for doing this.
Style points matter.
If this was a game in the middle of the season, with no meaning, then I wouldn't have liked it... but this wasn't the case.

But it didnt happen that way did it. Miles and LSU had a lot to prove last night. Had LSU been ranked in the top 10 i doubt the fake punt ever happens. If you dont like it, then stop it.

like the fake fg Tulane did on LSU up 41-7 in '81 ?

IF I were a GT supporter, I'd be much more concerned about Johnson's dumbass decision to call a horrible fake punt inside their own 30.

get over it. Les already said he did it to keep possession and keep the clock moving. GT had no problem coming back and winning against UGA the last game of the season. If you understood football you wouldn't have a problem with it.

I was in the dome, and I thought it was a arse move, the GT fans were so pissed about it.
but thats Miles for ya, things go great but he still makes you scratch your head

Seems like Tulane pulled a fake fieldgoal on LSU in 1981 while up 45 to 3? I was pissed at LSU for not stopping it not Tulane for rubbing it in.

You're up by 5 scores and you fake it. That's chicken shite.

it will teach Johnson to keep his mouth shut during the week

It would have been unanimously condemned if the roles were reversed.
I didn't care for it nor Les's explanation for it. The only thing I can see is we were putting something on film for teams to think about next year.
Otherwise I didn't care for the call. But I'll chalk it up as a brain fart and savor the rest of the game that was great.

An OU fan talking smack about running up the score.

Running the score up because you need style points to get into the BCS NCG is acceptable. That's the only time it's acceptable.

You by that Mega? GT wasn't coming back.
Great win, kudos to Les, staff and the kids but that was a head scratcher.

so there's a double standard? Ok.
