My Theory

The Georgia Tech football team has been abducted. By aliens.

Scoff if you will, but what else can explain Travis Bell, who kicked 15 field goals in a row last year, missing 5 in a row this season, including tonight's miserable 27- and 24-yard attempts? What other than alien abduction could account for our beloved #21, Calvin Johnson, not making the ridiculous catches that he usually does? (I find it slightly amusing, in the midst of my current pain, that any other wide receiver wouldn't even be expected to make impossible catches, much less be a disappointment to his team when he doesn't...)

I am firmly convinced that little green men have had something to do with this slump we've found ourselves in. Either they kidnapped the team and replaced them with low-grade androids; or they returned them, but only after doing horrible, horrible things to them with sharp, pointy objects.

Either way, our lovely, promising season is now a miserable failure. Sigh. Stupid aliens. Stupid Chuck Amato.

!!!

That's it! Chuck Amato IS an alien! It all makes sense now. Wait. No it doesn't.
