The Tech game cometh

Make no mistake, Georgia Tech is a big game:
It’s only the first game. It’s not the most important game of the season. It just seems that way, given events of recent years.
Or maybe not:
 “The good news is it’s not life-or-death situation,” junior point guard Charles Mann said. “We need a win, and we want to do whatever we need to do to win. ... (But) we could live with the results if we play hard and play well.”
Either way, Nemi thinks they're ready:
“Now we’re settled, and we have experienced guys who know what it takes to win,” Djurisic said. “As soon as we get thrown in the fire against Tech, or any other opponent in the preseason, I think we’ll be able to do the things that we need to do in order to win.”
Me?  Put me in the camp that says a loss isn't the end of the world, but a win sure would be nice.  Sounds like Kenny Gaines will go, although I wouldn't expect to see the same guy we saw last February.  I'd settle for a nice 10-12 minute spark from him tonight.

Georgia can absolutely win this game.  We'll find out soon if the team is ready to shake off the early season yips that have plagued them the last couple of years.
