Alex and Derek at scout reporting on some big time visitors for this weekend. Hope we can get a decent atmosphere for Tech and pull out a W. A couple commits this weekend would completely change the outlook of the future for me. For those at the game, be loud!

The team needs to actually show a pulse and give the fans something to cheer about. I'm skeptical they are capable of doing that given the injuries on the defensive side of the ball.
I'll be there cheering loud for our current players and staff and the future players. Fans, players and coaches alike are extremely frustrated with this season but they haven't given up and neither have I. Compared to the amount of work these young men put in 247/365, showing up for 3 hours and supporting them isn't too much to ask for this fan. GO STATE!!!
I'm sure they will include that in the recruitment pitch... That is news for when they sign my friend.
Who knows?? Quote from Wally:
"I absorb myself in my job. When I walk in this room right here every day, I've got kids dependent on me, and I'm dependent on them. I'm trying to help them as much as I can.
"I know I can coach. It doesn't matter what you or anyone else out there says. They're not in these rooms, they're not on the practice field.
"I love my job every day. I love these kids. I've loved every group of kids I've ever coached. That's how I've stayed away from all the negative."
It's how Burnham will continue handling it for however long he's still passionate about the sport and the players he coaches. And he's still got that passion.
"Other coaches call me all the time," Burnham said. "From high school coaches back in Florida, to people in South Carolina and people around here — they like the things we're trying to do.
"That's the way I stay positive. Ten more years, I might have in this business — you just never know."
That "the same coaching staff" is getting a visit from these guys--especially Reynolds--is HUGE to me.
Goes back to what someone said a week or two ago about Jamie Pollard "investigating" whether recruiting is still viable, getting prospects to visit. I think we see the answer right here.
