ATLANTA -- Just for fun, Paul Johnson offered a reminder of his glistening coaching record at Georgia Southern.Then he quickly added But thats all history now.Johnsons time at Georgia Southern, including back-to-back I-AA national championships, looks better than ever these days as he tries to end his Georgia Tech teams sudden two-year slump.Georgia Tech (3-3) will try to end a three-game losing streak when its takes a break from its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule to play Georgia Southern (3-2) on Saturday.Since the start of last season, the Yellow Jackets are 6-12 overall and a distressing 2-10 in ACC games. Last weeks last-second 37-34 loss at Pittsburgh , dropped Georgia Tech to 1/3 in the conference this season.Johnson has offered reminders that the Yellow Jackets first two losses came to Top 25 teams Clemson and Miami and there is still time to salvage a winning season. Even so, the visit from Georgia Southern prompted memories of his time with the Eagles as an assistant under Erk Russell and coach when losing streaks were extremely rare.Ive got really fond memories of the place, Johnson said Tuesday of Georgia Southern. When I was there we were very successful. I was looking at it today, I think my last two years there as offensive coordinator and the five years as coach we were 26-4 and 62-10, so we won a lot of games.Johnson was Georgia Southerns coach from 1997-2001. The Eagles won five straight Southern Conference championships and won national titles in 1999 and 2000.The Eagles have lost two straight games under first-year coach Tyson Summers, including a last-second loss to Arkansas State last week.---Here are some things to know about Georgia Southerns visit to Georgia Tech:POSSIBLE MILESTONE: A win over Georgia Tech would be a highlight for the Eagles, who began their transition to the Sun Belt and FBS in 2013 and beat Bowling Green in the GoDaddy Bowl last year. Following the bowl win, coach Willie Fritz left Georgia Southern to take over the Tulane program. A win obviously versus a Power 5 team and probably more importantly a team thats in our state is an important piece, Summers said. If we can find a way to win this one and be 4-2, itll be a step to getting us back on track.PEACHY TRIO: This will be the second of three games against state rivals for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets beat Mercer 35-10 on Sept. 10 and close their regular season at Georgia on Nov. 26.MATTHEW TIME: The Eagles had an extra three days since their loss to Arkansas State on Oct. 5, but Hurricane Matthew interrupted plans for extra practice for Georgia Tech. We were trying to take care of our families and our community, Summers said. We tried to have a little bit more time with our staff but really havent been able to do it with our players like you would think.BIG SCARE: Georgia Tech survived a late scare to beat Georgia Southern 42-38 in 2014. The Eagles rallied from a 35-10 deficit to lead 38-35. I think we kind of felt like it was over at halftime, and to their credit they came back with guns blazing, Johnson said. Weve got to be ready to play one of our better games. The two option offenses combined for 1,064 yards in the 2014 game.GEORGIA SOUTHERN COACHING CONNECTION II: Georgia Tech offensive line coach Mike Sewak was Georgia Southerns coach from 2002-05. Sewaks son, Nick Sewak, is a long snapper for the Eagles.---Online: http://collegefootball.ap.org Robbie Ray Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Chris Owings Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. http://www.diamondbacksteamproshop.com/diamondbacks-zack-greinke-jersey/ .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Jorge De La Rosa Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Taijuan Walker Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.Ben Ransom gets a behind-the-scenes look at the facilities that the British Olympic Association hope will be the launch-pad to another record-breaking medal haul. Be prepared or prepare to fail.Its an old cliché but its one that Team GB are living by as they get ready for Rio 2016. The plans are certainly impressive, with the British Olympic Association (BOA) putting more money than ever before into the preparation for an overseas Games. £1.6m of lottery funding has been set aside by UK Sport to fund the biggest pre-Games training camp a British team has ever had. In fact they believe its the biggest and most extensive training camp of any of the other nations competing in Rio. Lofty ambitions indeed.Two weeks before the opening ceremony, British athletes will begin boarding flights to Brazil, but having landed at the host city of Rio de Janeiro theyll jump straight onto another plane and fly 45 minutes north into the mountains. Belo Horizonte is a city that conjures up painful sporting memories for those who follow England, and in particular English football. Not only was it the scene of one of their most humiliating ever World Cup results in 1950 when they were beaten by a team of amateurs from the USA, the return 64 years later saw Roy Hodgsons England crash out of the 2014 competition after a lacklustre goalless draw with Costa Rica.Thankfully its a unified British team that will be touching down later this summer and when they arrive theyll be greeted by the best training facilities found anywhere in Brazil. The athletics track has the exact same surface as the Olympic Stadium in Rio, while Belo Horizonte is also home to Brazils only other indoor 50-metre swimming pool to meet international standards. Team GB will have access to a 50-metre swimming pool, one of only two pools to meet the international standard in Brazil Each and every competing sport will enjoy a similar level of meticulous preparation, with a fleet of shipping containers crossing the Atlantic right now bringing with them everything from canoe slalom start gates to full-size Olympic boxing rings. Even the hotel rooms here will get the Team GB treatment to make sure athletes feel right at home - with patriotic posters and Union Flag cushions on the sofas.Paul Ford is the Head of pre-Games training and explained to Sky Sports News HQ why theyre going to all of the trouble.Technical training is the first most important thing and after that were then looking at how we can best acclimatise, Ford said.Were only 45 minutes flight away from Rio so its got exactly the same climate, which allows the athletes to go through the process of that four-hour time zone shift and get used to being inside Brazil before they go into the village and do their competition.The other key part of it is bringing together Team GB because they might come here as British Judo or the British fencing team, but they leave here as part of Team GB ready to take on the world. The running track Team GBs athletes will train on at Belo Horizonte will be the exact same surface found at the Olympic Stadium in Rio In 2010 the BOA wouldve been forgiven for putting everything into making sure London 2012 lived up to all the hype.dddddddddddd However, in addition to focusing on their own backyard, a delegation was also more than 5,000 miles away visiting the training venues here in Belo Horizonte. To put it into some perspective, recent media reports in Brazil questioned why the home nation had not secured the facilities in Belo instead to give themselves the best chance of success this summer.Brazils loss is Britains gain and rather than looking at it as an expensive gamble, Team GB are confident the investment of time and money will pave the way for their most successful ever overseas Games. To do that they have to get a total of 48 medals, one more than they achieved in Beijing 2008. But having spent three days travelling around with the BOA delegation theres no sense of settling for that figure. Instead theres optimism that British performances in Rio could even push their greatest ever Olympic medal haul - when Team GB landed a total of 65 medals, including 29 golds in London. Sky Sports Orla Chennaoui brings us the latest news from Belo Horizonte where Team GB will soon begin their preparations for this summers Olympic Games As was the case in the build-up to London 2012 there are also negative headlines. Brazil is a country facing huge political and social problems, as well as a battle with the well-publicised Zika virus. Team GB want to leave their own human legacy in their home from home. Much of the training equipment being brought out and paid for by UK Sport will then be donated to local sports clubs in Belo Horizonte. And who knows, it might even be the small act of trans-Atlantic kindness that allows a young Brazilian athlete to fulfil their dream of going for gold in Tokyo 2020.That truly would be a legacy of Olympic proportions.
