Ahh…I wondered when the athens journal constitution was going to get back to their roots…Bradley, you are a poor excuse for a sports writer. I would love to see you fired over this completely uneccesary article…Georgia may win this november but they play the games for a reason and not for idiots like you to choose the outcome. To Hell With Georgia and Mark Bradley!

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.

Your an idiot. Almost every point you made referred to last year. According to your logic the Cardinals will win the World Series this year, not going to happen. Georgia may very well be better than Tech but you need to come up with solid facts to back it up. I can’t believe the AJC still lets you write your irresponsible journalism.

1. Mark Bradley: Pretty fair writer

2. Couldn’t or didn’t? Coaches decide who plays.

3. Nevermind losses to Vandy and Kentucky which hasn’t happened since the 70’s.

4. 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.

5. An actual point. Interesting. But we are talking about THIS year’s team.

6. 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.

7. Completements on bringing a point from last year about stats. But that is not an analysis of why this year is similar or different.

8. …I thought your coach was Brilliant?

9. 9 and we are comparing mascots?

10. Excluding the aftermath of the Vandy and Kentucky losses last year.

11. The difference is one superstar being replaced by an entire corps with depth.

12. Has nothing to do with this years teams. Thanks for the condesending attitude though.

13. Dittos from 12. Did you not eat breakfast this morning?

14. I’ve always thought passing to FBs and TEs are good things. Bond will fix that.

15. Again: 2007. We are talking about 2007.

16. 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.

17. Not terrible. Average as toast for performance in the net result. He was arrogant and inconsiderate to fans. Hence the love.

18. I think that Wes Durham could take him. Even Wes’s dad could take him.

19. 1. Stay focused.

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

…did you have an intern write this?

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.

Oh and Redneck it’s “you’re” not “your” we kick YOUR a* at science and math I would hope YOU’RE at least good at English. Oh wait “dixie” ain’t English.

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.

Does that count the students in the endzone section throwing things at the girls in the band? does that count them hitting the girls with their gay little thundersticks? Class, real class there you social pariah. come hit me with a thunderstick. I dare you.

As a very big Dawg fan I think all ya’ll Tech guys should get off of Chan. He has proved over and over that he is a good coach. We at Georgia say keep him because he is the 2nd best coach Georgia has!!

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.

Bradley, like Schultz, were nerds growing up. Never getting any tang, and being picked on constantly. Mark is making up for his childhood, and following the crowd, like most UGA fans. Mark you are still a loser, whether you root for UGA or not.

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.

Georgia Tech is the “Pepsi Cola” of College Football in the state of Georgia & UGA the “Coca Cola”. Like Pepsi, Ga. Tech is #2 looking up to #1 UGA.

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. Tech is the red-headed stepchild that we enjoy beating the heck out of on a yearly basis. That’s what Tech is.

Mr. Bradley,

I must correct one slight oversight in your article. The game in which UGA scored 51 points against Tech was in 2002. That was Coach Richt’s second year at the helm.

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:

1. GT girls are better looking.
2. GT has more national football championships than UGA.
3. GT has more appearances in the NCAA Final Four.
4. 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.
5. GT has the Ramblin’ Wreck Song. UGA’s fight song is a version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a Yankee war tune.
6. GT has Sideways the dog. UGA has UGA the dog.
7. GT girls are better looking.
8. GT 1390. UGA 1320.
9. GT has one US President as an alumnus. UGA has zero.
10. GT has more national football championships than UGA.
11. GT has Bobby Jones, Larry Mize, David Duval, Stewart Cink, Matt Kuchar, etc. UGA has Franklin Langham.
12. GT is in Atlanta. UGA is in Athens.
13. The Cheetah is across the street from GT’s campus. Starbucks is across the street from UGA’s campus.
14. GT has Kenny Anderson, Stephon Marbury, and Jarret Jack playing the point. UGA has Tony Cole.
15. GT shares a conference with the likes of Duke, UVA, and UNC. UGA associates with LSU and Alabama.
16. GT fans are alumni that actually went to the school. UGA “fans” cannot find the state of Georgia on a map.
17. GT has been in the NCAA Basketball tournament 15 times. UGA has been in 9 times.
18. GT served as the Olympic Village. UGA is full of most Georgia villages’ idiots.
19. GT plays the Budweiser song. UGA holds a couple of fingers in the air.
20. GT girls are better looking.

I am really surprised at the article. I suppose that the Tech people that subscribe to your paper are such a small part of the entire subscription in total that it does not really matter to the newspapers total revenue. If so then I can agree, otherwise it is a really horrible blatant attack on a really fine institution in Atlanta.

Mr. Bradley: You have now passed from being a very good sports writer (with whom I do not always agree) to sheer genius. You have absolutely nailed it with this article, and I am glad to see the AJC tell it like it is. And to you Techies, I know reading this article hurts, and it makes you mad. But, you know its the truth. So, tell me, HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS?!!!!!

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

both the nerds and the terds will finish 8-4 end of story. Both are average teams at best. UGA will continue to be one of the most overrtated teams in the history of college football and Tech will just never be that good.

Wow… Go Jackets is completely insane.

I like how Bugs like to claim they have 4 titles (3 of them shared) and only list Georgia’s two OUTRIGHT, undisputed titles, without naming the other 4 that we’ve shared, bring our total to SIX. It’s okay, Bugs… we really don’t count the shared titles, either. To bad y’all count yours.

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.

Have fun at your Al Qaida meeting.

Mark should rename this to 4 reasons… Seriously there are only 4 almost relevant reasons for the upcoming season that UGA might beat Tech. Everything else he listed has to do with BS and the previous seasons and is completely irrelevant. I think Mark is a little dissapointed in Tech after he picked them to win the last 2 years. He got tired of the hate mail and joined the bulldog nation. That “nation” crap is so gay! Stop using it.
