You are an idiot! Bennett was, and always will be a better QB than Ball ever was and now pukGA cannot rely on Ball to win the game for them….to hell with wasting my breathe I will post on Nov. 25th after Tech takes care of business and you have to eat your words!

Okay, now I’m confused. Didn’t you, Mark Bradley, write a column last month or the month before in which you PICKED the Bugs to actually beat the Dawgs? I mean, if you’ve finally seen the light, then I’m happy for ya, but switching sides without acknowledging the mistake is not kosher.

Well said, M.B. It’s funny how the AJC finally found a magazine that had GT ahead of UGA and it was published. However, you didn’t see it mentioned when the other thirty preseason mags have UGA way ahead of Tech.

I think this is great. UGA-backers feel the need to justify why they better than GT.

In the weeks approaching this article, Bradley has hailed Ball as a four year starter and a joke Calvin had to bail out.

If you look at the pre-season rankings, they are much more skewed from top to bottom than they have been in years past. If anyone says they know what is coming this year, they are either lying or don’t know what they are talking about.

Mark Bradley: Pretty fair writer
Couldn’t or didn’t? Coaches decide who plays.
Nevermind losses to Vandy and Kentucky which hasn’t happened since the 70’s.
Yet still winning the division out-right which hasn’t happened since when? I’ll let you catch up on your reading. Get back with me.
An actual point. Interesting. But we are talking about THIS year’s team.
So would that mean that above average results with less than average recruits was a good coaching job? I’m confused. Go back to asking if Reggie can count to 4.
Completements on bringing a point from last year about stats. But that is not an analysis of why this year is similar or different.
…I thought your coach was Brilliant?
9 and we are comparing mascots?
Excluding the aftermath of the Vandy and Kentucky losses last year.
The difference is one superstar being replaced by an entire corps with depth.
Has nothing to do with this years teams. Thanks for the condesending attitude though.
Dittos from 12. Did you not eat breakfast this morning?
I’ve always thought passing to FBs and TEs are good things. Bond will fix that.
Again: 2007. We are talking about 2007.
I thought you’d have to be at 19 or 20 to explain the whole conference thing. Again—compare and contrast two teams for this coming season.
Not terrible. Average as toast for performance in the net result. He was arrogant and inconsiderate to fans. Hence the love.
I think that Wes Durham could take him. Even Wes’s dad could take him.

You’ve been wrong before. Prepare to be wrong now.

While you may be correct, no LOSS sticks in UGA’s craw like losing to Tech. You may care more about beating some teams (it’s called winning your conference) you hate losing to Tech more than anyone.

And I hate to break it to Bradley but at least five of his points were the same point - Gailey sucks. He repeated that is slightly different forms over and over.

GT Greg, if by outclass you mean:

Get caught, with intent to distribute, massive amounts of coccaine and marijuana.

Casing buildings in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. so Al Qaida can bomb them.

Flunking out of class before our bowl game.

If those are examples of class, GT Greg, you absolutely pathetic Bug, then I’m glad UGA doesn’t have that kind of class. Here are other things that Tech has that UGA doesn’t:

A 10 to 1 ratio of Boy Nerds to Ugly Girls (at UGA we have a 2 to 1 ratio of the most beautiful women on God’s green earth to guys).

Guys who mark the following dates on their calenders: DragonCon, ComiCon, or ANYTHING with the word “Con” in it.

Guys who spend their days playing Magic the Gathering and their nights stroking their sliderule.

Ugly girls.

Terrorists using the university to teach them how to be a better terrorist.

Guys who stage fake lightsaber battles.

Star Trek Marathons.

People who believe in the Force.

Embarrasing football team.

And I could go on and on. Class? Give me a break. It’s always the same BS from you Bugs: We have class (no you don’t). We have better academics (no you don’t). We make more money (no you don’t). We’re your boss (no you’re not). And it’s all bluster to cover for the fact that your sports teams routinely get beat by us. Tell us some more BS, GT Greg, you pathetic Bug… I beg you!

When did the AJC become a student newspaper? When did the AJC give a crap about where magazines picked two football programs…which wasn’t picking the two against each other BTW? Reading the AJC online sports section nowadays, I feel like I’m reading the local paper at a some vocational school out rural Texas or something.

These blogs, are just that, but seriously the hang up on Tech and UGA is borderline cheerleading here. Making stories about a freaking license plate, now comparing the seasons of rivals based on a magazine’s ranking of all of the programs in the country.

If you follow his method, his next article will be about the teen who was attacked by the shark while surfing deserved the attack because he was in the water. This would have been as ridiculous an article if it put down UGA’s coaches, players, fans, and mascots. Grow up Mr Bradley. The AJC shouldn’t be too happy with a journalist who drives away readers.

To sell papers.

That’s the point of this.

We’re all paying attention, all posting, so it’s working. I actually agree with GTGreg on this point—this is simply stirring the pot. Nothing more.

I disagree with GTGreg on the “outclass” comment, but, hey, what did you expect? We’re each fans of our respective schools. Nothing unpredictable there.

Justin’s comment is infantile and irrelevant. This is a football blog, not a forum for puerile adolescents hoping to justify perpetual underachievement by their football team by invoking vague and unsubstantiated notions of academic superiority. Try to avoid these flights of fantasy, Justin. They reveal your insecurities.

Tech-Georgia will be a close game, as (almost)always. I think Georgia will win because of superior personnel and superior coaching, all other variables being equal. But Tech will have a good team this year. An injury here, a turnover there, and Georgia could lose that game. It’s that close. the last thing the Dawgs can do is get smug about it. They do that, and they’ve lost the edge. Lose the edge—lose the hate—and Tech will win the game, just because they will want it more.

BTW, you heard it here (from a Georgia fan, no less)first—the Jackets will shellshock Notre Dame in South Bend. I’d be surprised if the Domers score a point.

For the Tech folks, this article by Mr. Bradley was not written to get our goat. It was written for the benefit of the Muttlanders so the AJC can sell more papers to the Muttlanders who just passed their GED and now can officially read.

Once more and again, the AJC is showing its true colors as the official fishwrap of Muttland.

Mark Bradley is the most two-faced columnist in the AJC, even more than Jay Bookman and Cynthia Tucker. As stated by other posters, his selective amnesia of what he stated in the past is overwhelming. He has to be a Democrat.

Now if the AJC was worth its weight, it would be all over Muttland for losing to Florida in everything. I mean they are the the Mighty Muttland, an elite national program aren’t they???

In fact, all 20 of Bradley’s efforts above could be reworked to compare Muttland to Florida.

And did you happen to notice all the touts to Muttland in Saturday’s sports section? What’s up with that?

Unfortunately, every decade Muttland seems to be able to have a good run against us. And guess what, every one came to an end. This one will too.

In a few months, Bradley will be singing our praises and talking bad about Muttland.

That is just what he does.

GT has typically had less talent than UGA for obvious reasons I will not get into on this post…but we have had coaches that get the most out of that talent…and I think CG has done a fine job with that.

It will be especially interesting to see what he does with the Steven Threets, Josh Nesbitts, and Sean Renfree that are coming in the future.

Mark, When it comes to pure coaching, I don’t really think you believe Mark Richt is superior to Chan Gailey. NFL teams come calling to Chan because they know he is a good coach. What Mark Richt has over Chan is presentation and in college football, presentation means recruiting, and recruiting means winning. If the two coaches swapped teams, you don’t think Mark Richt could win do you? I seem to remember some wonderful clock management by the great Coach Richt. There may be lots of reasons why UGA will win, but it all comes down to players.So leave off all the slams of Coach Gailey.

I agree that UGA is better than Tech at football, but please don’t try to make Reggie Ball seem like he was better than we think. Yeah, he won 29 games. Yeah, he “beat out” Taylor Bennett for the starting job. But let’s be serious, the guy sucked. Bennett’s easily an upgrade over Ball.

Let’s see. 95% of the troglodytes posting for da dawgs (idiots can’t even spell dogs) never took a single class at any college. What’s left is 4.9% that went to uga, or more likely ga southern, for maybe one year, tops.

After that you had to run back to your parents because you were too stupid, too drunk, and too drugged-out to compete with your 80IQ brethren.

To the remaining 0.1%, I salute you for obtaining what we call at Tech, toilet paper.

Tech isn’t the little brother. Georgia Southern is the little brother. We sent Erk down to Georgia Southern to get them going. We respect our little brother. We wait for the day when he can join the ranks of Div 1 and joins the Big East and become another football team in the state that Tech can’t beat. No, Tech is not the little brother.

This bores me. Georgia has 30,000+ students and liberal arts majors, not to mention something called “History of Sports” If they didn’t consistently beat Tech, with only 11,000 students and much fewer non-engineering choices, UGA fans should be asking themselves why they are such losers. Even given that, there are very few colleges, even much larger ones, that are consistently in the top 25-30 in each of football, basketball, and baseball. In recent memory, you’ll probably only find Texas has been as successful at all three. Decent seems to be the watchword of Tech athletics, and, given the constraints on Tech, and the pure numbers involved, football is always going to be the less successful of the three. That’s just the way it’s going to be, and so, as a Tech grad, I accept that we should be happy with 8+ wins and competitiveness in football. That’s just reality. Beating UGA once or twice every ten years is probably the best we can hope for.

Now, in basketball and baseball, we ought to be striving for something much closer to parity, and we largely have. Reality sucks, so, yes, Dawg-fans, we do take immense pleasure in your foibles against Florida and Tennessee, since those are the schools, as you all point out, that you should be concerned about in football.

BTW - I started looking for famous UGA grads who were not famous for athletics or politics (which we can all agree takes little talent) and I couldn’t find any decent list for UGA. Wondering who you would put in your top 5 graduates that don’t fall into those categories?

20 reasons Tech is way better than UGA in every aspect:

GT girls are better looking.
GT has more national football championships than UGA.
GT has more appearances in the NCAA Final Four.
The Yellow Jackets never had to play any home football games in Athens because the did not have a stadium. UGA had to play games at Grant Field because they did not have a stadium.
GT has the Ramblin’ Wreck Song. UGA’s fight song is a version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a Yankee war tune.
GT has Sideways the dog. UGA has UGA the dog.
GT girls are better looking.
GT 1390. UGA 1320.
GT has one US President as an alumnus. UGA has zero.
GT has more national football championships than UGA.
GT has Bobby Jones, Larry Mize, David Duval, Stewart Cink, Matt Kuchar, etc. UGA has Franklin Langham.
GT is in Atlanta. UGA is in Athens.
The Cheetah is across the street from GT’s campus. Starbucks is across the street from UGA’s campus.
GT has Kenny Anderson, Stephon Marbury, and Jarret Jack playing the point. UGA has Tony Cole.
GT shares a conference with the likes of Duke, UVA, and UNC. UGA associates with LSU and Alabama.
GT fans are alumni that actually went to the school. UGA “fans” cannot find the state of Georgia on a map.
GT has been in the NCAA Basketball tournament 15 times. UGA has been in 9 times.
GT served as the Olympic Village. UGA is full of most Georgia villages’ idiots.
GT plays the Budweiser song. UGA holds a couple of fingers in the air.
GT girls are better looking.

This article is terrible. About 5 of your points can be legit. The rest are based on nothing. Reggie wouldn’t and couldn’t throw over the middle the last three years and dawgs new it and took advantage. The reason Tenuta has so much respect is because he takes 2 and 3 star athletes and does great things with them. GEORGIA IS ALWAYS UNDERACHIEVING FOR THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THAT THEY HAVE. College ratings are about about tradition and that being said Georgia will start the season ranked higher, but I believe this team at Tech is special. The new coordinator is proven. The dawgs coordinator is not. Our d. don’t have really any questions, and our offensive line is full of hogs. I will say no more. When tech has a smart qb they are always tough to beat, especially with low I.Q. defenses like Georgia. “Me play for dawgs!!! Me make tackle.” HA HA

Um, dude, the fact that UGA is in Athens is a PLUS. Bugland being in the middle of all of that crime, gang activity, and insane congested traffic is supposed to be a plus? You’ve been breathing too much motor exhaust.

Bugland DID NOT serve as the Olympic Villiage. That was GA St.

And Go Jackets, you complete an absolute sliderule stroking idiot… the only good looking girl on Tech’s campus is a VISITOR!!! Y’all wouldn’t know a good looking woman if you see her, and then if you were lucky enough to see her you wouldn’t know what the hell to say to her because good looking girls DON’T SPEAK KLINGON!!!

Also… Georgia has Dominque Wilkins. None of those other scrubs you named were a top-50 player or HOFer. Wilkins is. We also had Fran Tarkenton, Champ Bailey, Hines Ward, Jack Scott, Marcus Stroud, Richard Seymour, Terrell Davis, Herschell Walker, David Pollack, Jon Stinchcomb, Mack Strong, Rodney Hampton, Ben Watson… and the list goes on and on.

Dude… you seriously need to get your head examined about a lot of things on your list. First among them being the girls thing. Dude, if you think the 10 girls who go to Tech are good looking, I really do pity you.

You were WRONG! Be a Man and admit it! And even though you may have seen the light we DAWG fans don’t need you. You haven’t helped UGA the last 6 years by pulling for TECH, so just stay over there.

Look, this is really very simple. Let’s break it down: UGA has at least twice the butts in the seats, more than twice the fans, more media coverage, MANY more majors which are attractive to women (which is attractive to guys and thus football players), many times more resources and a stadium twice the size of Techs, on and on and on. Who do you think will attract the better recruits year in and year out? It’s not rocket science people, UGA will and should win most every football game against Tech based on a lot of very OBVIOUS factors, mostly recruiting (look at the recruiting numbers over time). Anytime UGA looses, it’s about like Goliath loosing to David. Sometimes the underdog wins, most times they don’t. Is this a big mystery? People do not go to Tech, nor cheer for Tech because they think they “will be on the winning side in football against UGA”. They go to Tech because they want to get a degree that will make their mom and dad proud (a UGA degree is fine also BTW), also perhaps they live nearer to Tech than Athens, Etc. When you really boil it down and are truly honest with the reality of things, it takes a lot more guts to be a Tech fan than it does to be on the UGA gravy train. Anyone can root for the clear favorite (on average year in and year out, look at the records, it’s not even close), but it takes guts to stick with the underdog. Brag away Goliath, but David shows up ready to fight, even against the clear over-whelming odds. David is worth cheering for in my book every day over Goliath. If your going to root for Goliath, at least have enough class to not knock David for having the guts to keep coming back time and time again. David has HUGE amounts of character, when you REALLY think about it. Character is what life is all about and what America needs more of.

I have a question for hard core UGA fans: most years you get top ten recruiting classes full of 4 & 5 star recruits, while Tech recruiting (excluding last year) is generally 40-50th ranked with 1 & 2 & 3 star recruits, yet Tech is almost always in the game and sometimes wins? How can that be? Do the UGA players not try hard? Are the UGA players over-rated? I have never understood this. UGA should win every year without exception, period. For this reason, I feel the Tech players and fans are the true hero’s in the game every year, because they have character in the face of extreme adversity.

BTW - I have no issue with UGA grads being UGA fans (I know many who are very reasonable people), but the average person who roots for UGA is almost always a bandwagon fan who has picked the easy path…and in my personal opinion, picking the easy path has never been anything to brag about.

Mark you’re overanalyzing. It’s not that Georgia is not a good program it’s just Tech is looking better on the charts and should move ahead this year or next. Is the ACC bad because they beat each other up and the schedules look bad at year end or is it the SEC is good but still overrated. Tech beat Auburn two years running. Give us Vandy, Kentucky, Bama and the rest and we will win. What is truly amazing is Tech was competitive with the Nations 90 plus rated offense not because of Reggie per se but because of the scheme and the lack of passing completion percentages. Get Tech in the top 40 offenses to go with that defense and improved recruiting and Tech could be on the verge of starting where Bobby Ross left of in 1991. By the way then there were rated one of the top 5 programs to watch in the 90’s. Only to loose Ross not too shortly thereafter. This OC is the real deal with the real scheme. The talent is there is to win big.

Mark, When it comes to pure coaching, I don�t really think you believe Mark Richt is superior to Chan Gailey. NFL teams come calling to Chan because they know he is a good coach. What Mark Richt has over Chan is presentation and in college football, presentation means recruiting, and recruiting means winning. If the two coaches swapped teams, you don�t think Mark Richt could win do you? I seem to remember some wonderful clock management by the great Coach Richt. There may be lots of reasons why UGA will win, but it all comes down to players.So leave off all the slams of Coach Gailey.

Realistic Jacket,

Mark Richt would have already won few ACC champs and prolly an NC if he was at GT, like he did at FSU. Thankfully he’s at the right place. Chan is a good coach, he’s just not a good recruiter in my opinion. Richt/staff does a good job of coaching their players up and does a better job for game preparation vs. GT. That’s the reason why Georgia has been successful against y’all. It’s all about preparation and putting the “right personnel”(qb) at each position. Oh yeah, I remember a wonderful clock management vs. Tech… I believe we clocked ourselves to 51 pts that year… hmmmm… not too shabby. So, buzz off and leave our mistakes for us to correct. I’m sure you have plenty of your mistakes you need to iron out from these last 6 years. See y’all in November and you better ranked in the top 15…….

Should Georgia Tech be ranked higher in the preseason than UGA ?

.

34 percent Of course. 34.05% 4187.

.

58 percent No way. 57.77% 7103.

.

8 percent Not sure. That’s a tough one. 8.18% 1006.

.

The only question I have on this non-issue dreamed up by AJ-C “sportswriters” is why, if this is an “ACC city” and the AJ-C is supposed to direct itself to its readership and route for its “home town team” is why you can garner no more than one-third of the votes for the nerd nation allowing the nerds to vote every hour ?

I mean with 10 preseason polls out, 9 of which have The Dawgs WAY AHEAD OF TECH and 7 of the 10 having the nerds UNRANKED TOTALLY where does the AJ-C get off discussing such a non-issue daily forever when the Athlon Poll remains the ONLY ONE discussed by the AJ-C and came out two (2) months ago.

Couldn’t beat out Reggie Ball Now, Number 2 is funny.

Ramblin Wreck (train from 1892 as noted by the AJ-C with photograph, not automobile from 40 years later) camera shy, wrecked non-train Now, Number 9 is funny too. .

Number 13 last Tech coach to beat UGA largely responsible for �all those new seats� BS. Tech blew up half their seats and cut down the size of its stadium by half with that same Coach run out of town on a rail and not allowed to return after embarrassing Notre Shame AND putting The Georgia Institute of Technology ON PROBATION � which they still are CURRENTLY � marking the 2nd time Tech has been ON PROBATION.

I shall leave us with this one : Number 16 : The SEC is the nation�s best football conference. The ACC might be the fifth best.

I take that back. Yes, Mark Bradley (Kentucky basketball fan lost in Atlanta who knows NOTHING ABOUT ANY OTHER SPORTING TOPIC. ) you and the rest of the AJ-C Sportswriters picked Tech over UGA again last season.

� Number 20. I picked Tech over Georgia last year and was somewhat incorrect. �

What the hell is somewhat incorrect ? You�re always incorrect on everything. Forever.

I do believe that MB stuck a stick in a bees nest. YA know, one where they think they are better than everyone else but they really know, deep down, that they are not.

So, when does the three game ticket package come out that has us Dawg fans save your athletic dept, every two years? You weenies expanded a stadium that you rarely sold out, previously, but rely on us to help you out. Talk about some fuzzy math!!!

When do the full page ad’s go up to sell your tickets? I’m trying to remember the last time UGA did that? Have we ever?

The only real math you need worry about involves one number. Yesterdays date should help you that. :-)

Georgia Tech aspires to be UGA; it always has. For their first season, Tech lost every football game, a feat Tech has repeated now 7 entire complete seasons � losing every game. UGA did not and has not. Tech hired several of the UGA players and went to Athens to play in year two. That was the year that the AJ-C put the photo of the Wrecked Train front page : �Ramblin� Wreck returns victorious.�

Screams of greatness at academics fall upon deaf ears when Tech is the one who is ON PROBATION for academic cheating of its athletes in four (4) sports yet again this year.

This coupled with the HOPE SCHOLARSHIP keeping in-state scholars at The University of Georgia, has brought UGA great rankings in college public universities which UGA began for all such public universities in 1785.

Screams by nerds that the ACC has the better basketball and football than The SEC have also fallen upon deaf ears, as Florida sits there repeats in Basketball back-to-back for The SEC and while Florida also is NC in Football.

By BuLLdawg

July 8, 2007 7:59 AM | Link to this

As a matter of fact, what has transpired in the ACC�s smaller far-flung loosely held-together fragile conference compared to the dominant SEC since the ACC raped the Big East to travel for games from Boston to Miami every week � comparing SEC expansion in 1992 to that of the ACC � is that the SEC has National Championships in Football in 1992 Alabama, 1996 Florida, 1998 Tennessee, 2003 LSU won the BCS National Championship and now this year Florida has yet won again for The SEC the Football National Championship while the best the ACC can do is get no team ranked ahead of 5 or 6 SEC teams in the Final Polls.

So, they spend their days coming in here to tell UGA fans that they want to talk about National Championships with players they pilfered from Carlisle and elsewhere during World Wars UGA fought in and Tech stayed home with their V-12 to claim they were the best compared to us.

Tech accomplished a women�s tennis national championship this season, its 1st in any sport according to The NCAA and a sport in which Tech loses every time to UGA such as a 2-34 Tech record against UGA in women�s volleyball in all-time, while UGA has according to the same NCAA WebPages not just that only one (1) NC in any sport ever, but 24 including two (2) NC in women�s tennis � not the 1 by Tech.

http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/champs_listing1.html

So, they turn to baseball and say the ACC and specifically Georgia Tech are better than The SEC and UGA specifically. But, in this sport too, UGA has the NC and Tech not. And, in this sport too, UGA has a 193-147-2 record against Tech.

Can the Dawgs trade off for a better ACC team to play at the end of the year?

All of you Tech fans are riding on a cloud of hope, when honestly you have nothing to back it up. You lost your best receiver, your starting QB and your offensive co-ordinator. That’s a lot to lose. Your offense is going to have to amp it up, and without Calvin pulling double coverage your offense is going to have a lot less options. You think Bennett is better than Ball? Probably so, but who is he throwing it to?

When Tech establishes themselves again like UGA has under Richt, then you can start with all of the trash talking again. As it is now, you are nothing but loud mouthed fans of a second rate team.

Georgia 1 - NC Georgia Tech - 3 NC (However, each has 6 if counting NC’s noone else recognizes)

Between 1896 and 1963 when UGA and GT competed in the same conference;

Georgia - 3 CC, 3 Co-CC Georgia Tech - 7 CC, 6 Co-CC

Also, so you don’t have to post it - Georgia has won heads up by a wide margin - all Tech fans recognize this.

Finally, you always want to bring up that the AJC (or the Georgia Journalism Graduates work place) called a Train the Wrambling Wreck in 1892 instead of a car. Do you know what the Georgia mascot was in 1892? Where did the team play their home games? Let’s see what you know about your own history.

The Georgia Institute of Technology’s whole entire thrust has always been what they did prior to when Bobby Dodd removed Tech from the SEC having never not once beaten and always every time lost to Vincent J. Dooley . That and what they said was the case that The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the very top schools in the world today, and that UGA is NOT.

38 and 60, that is where it stands now.

And, Tech of course tried to rejoin The Mighty SEC only to be turned down by the entire SEC.

7 seasons of no wins at Football, Georgia Tech. 5 more seasons of just only one (1) win and another 5 seasons of just only two (2) wins for Tech in football. Tell me what Tech has been ?

I believe, of all people, I know.

What you think ?

So, Tech says that Tech has 4 NC and I give you the NCAA Official Records Book stating 6.

And, what of the NC of Tech ?

GT isn’t easy, but no i did not fail out. After I got my undergrad at Tech I wanted an easier path for my masters. Not that Georgia is a bad school academically, it actually turned out to be very challenging as well. But obviously tech is one of the most challenging schools academically, so I wanted a little bit of an easier path if I could find it. I am still a tech fan in football.

That loser Munson is going to watch the puppies get slaughtered against GT in his final year of calling games. He’s the most pathetic, most biased play caller in the history of all sports. He’s the benchmark, or should I say basement, for how bad an announcer can be. There is nobody worse in the entire country. All of my out of town friends who hear him for the 1st time always crack up at what an idiot that guy is. They can’t believe it’s not a joke. Adios loser!!!!! Enjoy the UGA loss.

Munson:

You capture what Tech fans like to make fun of with your comment:

“…UGA is better at football! That�s it.Period!!! Nothing else matters.”

Nothing else, like the real reason one attends college. It is obviously not to improve oneself academically and prepare for the future, it’s just to make it through the week for the football game.

Maybe if they truly catered to their quarter of million UGA graduates in their own readership they themselves repeatedly have stated their reserach shows instead of the 29,000 Tech graduates in their readership they constantly also point out, perhaps they would have more advertising dollars.

And, maybe one of the 24 UGA Graduates who is Governor of this state and always have been, also wouldn’t have to take them to task as well.

The sooner the fan base realizes this and starts to demand excellence from the team the better. Tech should expect excellence from the sports programs like they do academics. Where as it’s true Ugay can bot compete with Tech in academics they excel in the sports scene while Tech sucks hind t**!

Well Bradley has certainly obtained the results he sought. Doesn’t everyone realize all he and the other far left journalist wush to do is incite hatred and discontent with their stories. Sometimes this hate and discontent will be discussed at bars, dinner tables, work, etc, and may lead to violence, which gives them another negative story to write in the Atlanta Journal of Communism. They love your blogs. Gets their jollys off. Good, professional journalist have to research and work for their stories. When you have a deadline to meet and you don’t want to work at it with a good, meaningful article you just present one that gets the readers riled up and posting. What a wonderful way to make a living(if you can call it living rather than surviving). Please pardon my grammar and composition. My parents sent me to a Georgia government school.

As a Tech fan and an anti-Chan person, I couldn’t agree with you more.

Chan Gailey was an average NFL coach … what made anyone believe he would be something different at Tech???

Matter-of-fact, he lacks the leadership and management skills to be the #1 guy .. add the lack of ability and you have mediocrity.

Tenuta was hired by Dave Braine … I’d hate to see where GT would be if we had gotten stuck with the guy from KY that Chan wanted here!

Mark Richt is a better coach than Chan and last year was the year to beat GA and CHAN MANAGED TO SCREW UP AGAIN!

My Tech degree does also. Also, by far and wide more medical professionls attend UGA for their undergrad than Tech. All georgia pepole want to point to their Business School which is not the only strength that UGA has academically. I think Georgia shoul dbe pround of the academic improvements that have been instituted over the last two decades. My definition of recent is relative to what period of time you are discussing. For “recent”, it;s relative to the overall period you define. Georgia folks want to talk about the last six years since Tech won last seven years ago. All that matters in my opinnion is that Georgia has bragging rights because they won last year. Every game is a new game and last years team doesn’t matter. That’s why they play the game. This year is all that really matters.

Georgia Tech Recruiting Pitch Send your child to GT because: 1. He can get in touch with his feminine side.

Don�t worry about him becoming a father. No chicks.
He can get a great deal of practice updating his job credentials. All he has to do is check with Coach Gailey. He is constantly applying for other jobs.
No coaching change. No one will hire the dud.
It will be like playing in high school. No, you probably played with better athletes in high school.
He will not have to go to the shady parts of town to buy dope. The dealers are on the team.
Don�t worry about the grades. The GT way is to play ineligible players.
He will be called an engineer whether you major in it or not.
He will have the omnipotent complex. If you have a GT diploma you have the greatest sheet of paper on Earth. Engineers are the pillars of society. What a load of crap. You can use it to wipe your backside. The puke yellow will go well with the crap.
Finally, you can hope for basketball and baseball season. Oh no, the ACC hasn�t won a national title in baseball in over 50 years. Dang it, the SEC won the basketball title too.
Don�t worry about the dating lines or the online predators. He will have a dorm mate.
He will develop a life skill called blame UGA. When his team loses, blame UGA. When he fails in life, blame UGA. When he gets told no by girls, blame UGA.
He will not have problems with peer pressure. He will need some treatment for the inferiority complex. Don�t worry about the popular kids that shunned him in high school; they don�t go to GT. It�s kind of like the freaks making fun of the popular kids in school. That is their sole means of gaining inner validation because the popular kids will not recognize or accept them. He will brag about the minor accomplishments as a means of comparison to the popular kids. It�s kind of like what GT tries to do to UGA. When UGA whips them on the gridiron, you will hear the excuses. It�s ok at GT to be a loser; just blame UGA.
No pressure to buy recruiting or media guides. Most guides don�t list the 1353 rated kid in the state of Georgia. I know it�s not fair, but he won�t face recruiting pressure except for NW Idaho State.
No pressure to perform in front of large crowds. He probably played in front of larger crowds in high school. I know he will have to play at UGA twice, but the game will be over by halftime. Just tell him that half of the fans are female and that will ease the tension.
At least your kid can sneak away and drive to watch the Dawgs play.

UGA recruits illiterate thugs in all sports, then waits for them to commit crimes or flunk out before they replace them with more illiterate thugs.
If Tech had to play in the SEC, going 5-7 would be a normal season.
Mark Bradley’s last column was about whether or not hotdog eating should be a sport or not. He’s obviously hard up for anything to write about, so he re-hashed his Tech bashing column so that 80% of his readers would call him a genius. Its not hard to entertain rednecks.

Georgia as TWO (not one, you flaming retard) outright National Championships. 1942 and 1980.

Georgia has 4 other shared titles in which a a pubication or group bestowed the championship that year on the Bulldogs.

But here’s the thing… we don’t claim those titles. We claim our TWO outright titles.

Oh yeah… Tech claims 4 titles. 3 of which I believe are shared. 3 shared titles which you claim. So if we were to do what YOUR school does, Nolan… we’d have 6 National Titles to your 4. But we only count our undisputed titles.

So either way you cut it, whether it 6 to 4 or 2 to 1… we STILL outclass you and your pathetic team.

Munson is great because he’s biased. Georgia fans love him because he’s one of us. He worries, he exhorts the players to do better, he has his own set of talsimans and superstitions to fall back upon in times of crisis. He’s a hand-wringing worrywart with a gift for verbal illustration. But, most of all, he’s a FAN. Not just some banal, run-of-the-mill milquetoast announcer who tries to give props to both teams. He loves his Dawgs, and we love our Larry. And you don’t get it because you’re one of THEM. But we don’t expect you to.

But if you want to gauge Larry’s status among his peers—fellow broadcasters—just ask them. They all know him and respect him. He is, indeed, a legend. And your opinion of him is just that of a disgruntled fan who is tired of the bias that has made him famous.

When we win, so what we should have and if we lost(we won’t) Then it’s considered a big upset. The game doesn’t help the Dawgs a bit it’s only a chance to hurt our season.

I’ll give you one reason why you are wrong.

You are football ignorant.

Now I will elaborate. Out of your 20 reasons, you gave only one rational football reason. Richt is a better coach. Until Gailey beats him, I will give you that one. Stafford beats out Joe T and two other nobodys - I’m not impressed. Now for some real FOOTBALL reasons why GT will have a better year and yes beat UGA.

Most importantly - better in the trenches - both sides of the ball.
Best LB corps in the country
I agree the ACC is weaker, but this only helps the Jackets you moron. UGA does not have a chance against Tennessee, UF, and Alabama on the road. They also lose 2 out of 4 versus OK State, Auburn, SC, Kentucky. That’s five losses before they lose to GT.

What the heck does Larry Munson, freakin mascots, and last year have to do with which team will be better in 2007?

Let’s get one thing straight. I’m sick of hearing UGA fans talk about how they’d rather beat UF, UT, and AU. No way! That’s how you win your conference. Exactly like us Tech fans would rather beat Clemson, VT, and Miami. As for this year, I’d say the teams are pretty even. Look for Taylor Bennett to put up better numbers than Stafford this year. Stop praising a soon to be Sophomore QB that hasn’t proven anything yet except that scout.com rated him high after playing against nobody’s in High School.

Could any of you honestly say that you could get up mentally and or physically, and bleed your heart out for a coach that can’t make up his mind if he even wants to stay at the institution that he currently coaches at. The answer to everyones question about who will win next year is the same question that is asked of every player, talented or not, before every game, no matter who the opponent is. Who has more heart? Now again, would you be able to convince yourself to lay it all on the line for the coach at GA Tech?

Ok, I am Tech fan but I want all Dog fans to here me out. I get on boards all the time and keep it real. But this article was nothing but a bashing of Tech as a whole. Yeah, UGAy has beat us 6 straigt times. Coach Richt is a better coach than Gailey until Gailey beats the dogs. But he is my thing. The article says “20 reasons why UGA will be better and beat Tech”

Here is what I don’t agree with.

8.) Tashard Choice is a better back. 9th in the antion last year. But Lumpkin would be better if Richt gave him the ball. So he can’t pin that on Tech.

9.) U-GA posses for pics and the Wreck got wecked. What does this have to do with the game. Yeah, the wreck had an accident. No one can tell me they haven’t or someone they know hasn’t.

10.)Gailey more respected in the NFL d Richt by the Bulldog nation. What does this have to do antyhing with beating Tech this year. Seriously, I want a fan, of either side to tell me a legitimate reason why that will cause UGa to beat us. Please!

13.) Seating was responsible by the last coach to beat UGAy. So UGA is a bigger stadium than Tech. Again, noting to do with beating Tech. Louisville hold 40,000. And yet they still beat powerhouses too! WVU hold 45,000. And yet they beat us and UGAy. Hmm, you are making good sense now brother!

14.)Bond is replacing Nix. Better move. Bobo replacing Richt better move. Those are equal in its own.

15.) Gailey to 1 ACC title game and lost. Richt 3, 2 ships. What will this do to help either Tech or UGAy on the field. Someone please tell me!

16.) SEC = 1. ACC 4th or 5th. What will this do. FSU beat UCLA last year. Boise beat Oklahoma. So what does conf. really have to do with any play on the field.

17.) Reggie Ball won 29 games. Matt Stafford won 10. Whoop-de-doo. He starts out 0-0 in Sept 1st. Isn’t that all that matters?

18.) Larry Munson doesn’t play football. Do you think that him leaving will really cause the team to win or loose. you gotta be kidding.

19.) Past scores are nothing but records now. So what will that carry over to the field.

I broke down the main topics he brought up that didn’t make sense. Again I am a Tech fan, but I am also a football fan. And I am sure that some UGA fans will believe that some of these reason aren’t jusitfied as I do.

UGA may beat Tech. And Tech may finally snap the streak this year. Regardless, the AJC should put out articles that make sense and not so bashing to people. If he wants to post a UGA article, do it in Athens and on their athletic site. Not were its suppose to be biased. As a former player, I know that these instances won’t carry over. I know. I have been on the flats. And it sucked lossing to UGA in this very spand that he is talking about. Get your stuff staright before you put out crap just to make a buck. As far as this article goes, I am glad I didn’t pay to see this.

This is funny. Why do you tech fans care what he says. We are a football school. You guys are an academic school. When you beat us, it is a huge deal. When we beat you, it was supposed to be that way. Don’t compare national titles. I’d love to see you guys try to get through a season in the SEC. Almost impossible to get through that schedule and win a national title. Big props for Florida last year, as much as I hate them. Good luck this year. Please do dominate on the field. We could use the points in the BCS race after we beat you, which you know is inevitable.

GTMAN, I agree with you that a lot of Bradley’s assesment was for reading pleasure only. But you can’t argue with a lot of what he says.

And no offense, but you calling Bradley football ignorant, after making this comment below, is about as football ignorant as it gets.

“UGA does not have a chance against Tennessee, UF, and Alabama on the road.”

I’m not saying we win or lose these games, but are you really serious saying we have no chance in either? Put down the hookah pipe and please step away from the keyboard. Richt has never lost a game at UT, which is where we play this year. I’d say that gives us a fair chance in that one. And last time I recall us going to bama, we won that one too under Richt. (remember the “man enough game?). A decent chance there as well, and considering Saban just took over at Bama and steal dealing with left over Shula. As far as UF, yeah, they are our biggest hurdle, kind of like Georgia is to Georgia Tech. But have you watched any of the games in the Richt era against UF? They are always end of fourth quarter decisions, so saying we have no chance at all is abusrd. I’ll agree if you want to say Florida should be favored simply because they’ve won 13/15. But no chance at all?

Your comments are nothing more than an absolute flame of mass porportions.

Look, this is really very simple. Let’s break it down: UGA has at least twice the butts in the seats, more than twice the fans, more media coverage, MANY more majors which are attractive to women (which is attractive to guys and thus football players), many times more resources and a stadium twice the size of Techs, on and on and on. Who do you think will attract the better recruits year in and year out? It’s not rocket science people, UGA will and should win most every football game against Tech based on a lot of very OBVIOUS factors, mostly recruiting (look at the recruiting numbers over time). Anytime UGA looses, it’s about like Goliath loosing to David. Sometimes the underdog wins, most times they don’t. Is this a big mystery? People do not go to Tech, nor cheer for Tech because they think they “will be on the winning side in football against UGA”. They go to Tech because they want to get a degree that will make their mom and dad proud (a UGA degree is fine also BTW), also perhaps they live nearer to Tech than Athens, Etc. When you really boil it down and are truly honest with the reality of things, it takes a lot more guts to be a Tech fan than it does to be on the UGA gravy train. Anyone can root for the clear favorite (on average year in and year out, look at the records, it’s not even close), but it takes guts to stick with the underdog. Brag away Goliath, but David shows up ready to fight, even against the clear over-whelming odds. David is worth cheering for in my book every day over Goliath. If your going to root for Goliath, at least have enough class to not knock David for having the guts to keep coming back time and time again. David has HUGE amounts of character, when you REALLY think about it. Character is what life is all about and what America needs more of. I have a question for hard core UGA fans: most years you get top ten recruiting classes full of 4 & 5 star recruits, while Tech recruiting (excluding last year) is generally 40-50th ranked with 1 & 2 & 3 star recruits, yet Tech is almost always in the game and sometimes wins? How can that be? Do the UGA players not try hard? Are the UGA players over-rated? I have never understood this. UGA should win every year without exception, period. For this reason, I feel the Tech players and fans are the true hero’s in the game every year, because they have character in the face of extreme adversity. BTW - I have no issue with UGA grads being UGA fans (I know many who are very reasonable people), but the average person who roots for UGA is almost always a bandwagon fan who has picked the easy path…and in my personal opinion, picking the easy path has never been anything to brag about. Go Jackets!

Bradley, remember that at least 80% of the UGA players could not get into Tech. So, while UGA has a fine football team, Georgia Tech has a fine SCHOOL. And a degree from Georgia gets you a tractor or an insurance agency to run; A tech degree buys you a lottery ticket to be a CEO. And don’t give me your usual crap- I went to Tech, my brother went to UGA. I am retired at age 49, he is working for the IRS at age 60…even you can figure that one out.

2006: UGA 15 GT 12 2005: UGA 14 GT 7 2004: UGA 19 GT 13

Three straight years of losing by a touchdown or less. Don’t get too cocky. It’s not like Tech hasn’t come close to winning. How could this possibly be a gimme that Tech will lose this year? By the way, we did all of that basically without Calvin in any of those games. So don’t play that card.

So in the past 3 years Tech has come close to winning, eh Chris? Who cares? It’s still losing. You can lose by 1 point or by 5,000 but guess what. It’s still a loss and if I remember correctly Tech has successfully managed to do just that 6 years in a row now.

“He will not have problems with peer pressure. He will need some treatment for the inferiority complex. Don�t worry about the popular kids that shunned him in high school; they don�t go to GT. It�s kind of like the freaks making fun of the popular kids in school. That is their sole means of gaining inner validation because the popular kids will not recognize or accept them. He will brag about the minor accomplishments as a means of comparison to the popular kids. It�s kind of like what GT tries to do to UGA. When UGA whips them on the gridiron, you will hear the excuses. It�s ok at GT to be a loser; just blame UGA. #

No pressure to buy recruiting or media guides. Most guides don�t list the 1353 rated kid in the state of Georgia. I know it�s not fair, but he won�t face recruiting pressure except for NW Idaho State. “

SBJ,

You are about as ignorant as Bradley. Did you not understand the point about relying on the past to predict what these teams will do in 2007? I am basing my assessments on the talent and coaching combinations that each team will have in this year’s game! I think Richt is a great coach and a great man, but UGA lost too much last year to win in Knoxville, Jacksonville, and T-town.

Quit living in the past and hurry up - my pizza should have been here 15 minutes ago.

THWG!

Hey Texas Bug, I don’t know who told you that, but that simply isn’t true. Just more of the Bug Propaganda and outright lies that y’all like to tell yourselves to stroke your egos and give you excuses to use for why we kick y’all’s butt every year. There may be 10 out of 100 players on Georgia’s roster right now who might not be able to get into Tech. The standards are actually pretty much the same. In fact, Bugland created a business school just so they could lower their standards and recruit the better players who didn’t want anything to do with engineering.

So Texas Bug… stop lying to yourself. Remember… excuses are like @$$holes… you ARE one.

Texas Wreck:

Hate to break it to ya, bud, but 80% of TECH’s players couldn’t get into Tech is they didn;t play football. That’s called recruiting. If each of our schools had to play with players that met the normal academic standards that would get them admitted, we’d never win a game against the FSUs and Alabamas of the world. How many 6’7” 320 pound linemen with 1380 SATs (on the old SAT scale) and 3.8 GPAs are there out in the world? How many running backs with 4.3 speed in the 40 yard dash have a 4.0 and made 1270 on the SAT? There may not be any in the whole country. The idea that either Tech or Georgia can apply the same academic standards to its athletes for admission that it does to its regular students and be competitive is a delusion.

Texas Wreck, the two schools recruit the same athletes. Get over your superiority complex. It’s not rooted in reality.
