We don’t have to be defensive - it is well known what high academic standards Tech has. UGA is always defensive because they know where they stand against Tech on this issue. Sad but true. Write something about Radakovich! THWG!

In the case of Tech fans, we just like to remind people of what Tech student athletes have to work with: only a few dozen majors to chose from and they all take some form of calculus to graduate. Which is why Coach Johnson realizes that we will rarely be able out-recruit UGAG. There’s a reason it’s not called “graduating”, but instead called “getting out”.

I think Georgia fans would be perfectly content limiting the discussion exclusively to the 7 game win streak and the strong possibility of more wins in the future due to strong Georgia recruiting classes and the stability of Mark Richt’s coaching staff. Tech fans bring academics to the discussion because they don’t have a leg to stand on in the football discussion. Anyone who was around in ‘98-‘00 when Tech was actually beating Georgia knows this is 100% fact. Tech fans rarely had a word to say about academics back then. They only wanted to talk about football. That shoud answer your question Matt.

Truth be known, both are fine schools that this state should be proud of. If Tech fans were half as smart as they think they are they would realize that the schools have very little in common and comparing them is a waste of time. Its apples and oranges. No comparison can be made.

Its ashame that the only way Tech fans can build themselves up is to try and tear someone else down. I sometimes feel sorry for them.

I do not think any school that admitted student athlete Reuban Houston can point a finger at any other school regarding academics.

I do not think any school that played 11 academically ineligible football players over a 7 year period can point a finger at any other school regarding academics.

I do think those occurrances were not indicative of Tech academics overall anymore than that slimy sleazeball Jim Harrick Jr.’s basketball test was indicative of the academic expectations in the average UGA classroom.

But crap happens - and it has happened at both schools.

Finally, I remember an AJC article earlier this year reporting that both UGA and Tech met and exceeded the recently toughened NCAA academic standards. Failing to meet those standards now results in scholarship losses.

Perhaps the AJC should report which Div 1A schools had reduced scholarships, Matt.

And perhaps we (UGA and Tech) should both feel good about our student athletes’ performances.

However if Matt and the AJC are so concerned about academics, then they should post the average SAT score, the average GPA, and the average 5 year graduation rate for both football teams.

I would be surprised if Tech exceeded UGA in any of the above measurements. If that were so, the AJC would have already gleefully reported it after Carter Strickland finished having his orgasam.

And Techies, please do not say Tech is academically harder than UGA so your scores would be lower.

If you are not recruiting and signing HS football players that can do Tech work, then you are guilty of placing sports ahead of academics in your recruiting process, which is the very thing you say about us.

By CarolinaJacket

Pitbull, you make some good points. The fact of the matter is that both schools have some excellent programs. The advantage that UGA has over Tech is that a large university has many more options than does a special type school like Tech. This does not address the question of hard or easy programs, but rather choices of degree choice. Tech will never be able to compete with UGA year in and year out because they will never have the options available to incoming students that UGA will have. This just makes the challenge more demanding, but a good challenge is often what makes life the most interesting. Good luck to both.

OK then, moving on …

by looking back. To yesterday’s blog, which has me wondering:

Who is more defensive about the reputation of their school’s academic posterity, particularly as it relates to student-athletes? Is it the Tech fan base, or the UGA fan base? You people slay me with the way you carry on about that stuff.

Or, should I write up something about Dan Radakovich signing a five-year extension?

Maybe that’s because Tech fans have alot more experience when it comes to losing. They express themselves by their negativity and lack of support for their team. Like the guy yesterday said, their favorite form of expression is coming to the game disguised as empty seats. Wouldn’t it be better to just wear bags over your heads like the Saint fans did. At least they were at the game.

So that’s it? Tech players have to take “some form” of calculus and have fewer majors to choose from? This is what separates Tech from UGA? So according to Tech fans, if we remove the calculus requirment and add more majors Tech will be winning 10+ games a year, going to BCS bowls, and finishing in the top 10.

You guys better stick to building bridges and playing with your protractors. Logic is not your strong point.

CarolinaJacket and others who posted regarding the academic comparison issues, in looking at other states’ university systems and their football rivalries I begin to wonder if Tech has been mismanaged. The reason I wonder is because aren’t most other in-state rivalries between a large, mostly liberal arts and medicine-related school and another usually EQUALLY LARGE AND WEALTHY science, engineering and technology-related school? Or at least in the case of a “U of..” versus “State” case one would have an engineering program and the other the less math-intensive programs? I guess I’m looking at some of the most healthy rivalries that bring in big money for their schools like UT v. TAMU, UF v. FSU, Bama v. Auburn, UVA v. VT, etc. So maybe it’s Georgia Tech’s relentless pursuit of the MIT structure (which is fundamentally different since it’s PRIVATE and TINY), but the big question for me remains why is Georgia Tech so small? We could grow our liberal arts programs and try grow the school. But I think until we get more evenly matched in size and scope with UGA I think you guys are right that the points of comparison are few. I’m not suggesting we back track on the academic rigor we’re all proud of to get to a more Auburn level of sports and size, but we’re definitely not able to take the recruiting away from UGA without some key things like a nicer campus and more generalized fields of study.

That said, I said the other day on one of these that our rivalry is not about comparison. It’s about hate. So despite smaller size, an often under-achieving team, a comatose fanbase, and the nerdy persona isn’t it still within the realm of possibility that we could just HATE Georgia? Is that so wrong?

Georgia has actually improved their academic standing since the Hope Scholarship was introduced. If you think the degree is weak now can you imagine the “good ole days”.

That said I like the direction of the overall program. The only question is how does Basketball adapt to the players going to the NBA that seems have been a problem going back to 90’s. Price and Sally and Ferrell and Hammonds, etc…stayed 4 years and really developed. It’s a different ballgame now. As for Georgia it’s really not comparing apples with apples so it will be different.

Found the following web site which most college football fans will find interesting and wanted to share it with the other readers.

I was amazed by the overwhelming number of years in which multiple national championships were awarded in football by various organizations.

The site is http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/iafootballpast_champs.html

According to the site UGA has 5 national championships and Tech has 6 national championships.

Take a look for yourself. I think it show the weirdness of focusing on winning a football national championship in a Div 1A level school when the NCAA does not recognize any champion.

I think the important thing to take away from the site is there is a history of great college teams out there and you do not have to be recognized as THE national champion in order to take pride in your chosen team’s accomplishments in any given year.

WTH, as a Dawg fan, I heard the interview with DRAD on 680 yesterday and I was very impressed with his comments. I don’t follow GT in depth but it sounds like he wants to bring you guys back to the 90’s. You guys have a great school and it sounds like he wants to renew the football program. I wish you guys the best,except in November, and I work WITH(not for) some excellent Tech people and I call them good friends.

There’s so much football banter in my building, with people from all over the south east, it gets crazy sometimes, especially in the fall.

But that’s what most of us live for…….the Fall. This is the slowest time of the year for football talk, but we all find a way to somehow keep it going. We pretty much jaw at each other at least 3 times a week about who’s gonna kick who’s butt. But it’s all in good fun,, and it makes our work day go that much faster. And no, for some of you UGA haters, we don’t all work for Mcdonalds, but you know that. And you guys aren’t always Astro-physicists. But it’s all good.

**Clean Old Fashioned Redundance

Visited this site for information or commentary on Tech sports. Found neither.

Getting Tech and UGA fans to repeat tired taunts and skewed opinion can be invoked at any time of the year, it seems.

While I’m a Tech fan, I’m not an alum and have overseen my company’s recruiting of grads from both schools for years. Thus bringing a little objectivity.

It’s surprising how much ‘fans’ of each school seem as eager to attack the other without being able to acknowledge truths pertaining to their own school.

Techies run SAT scores and calculus classes up the flagpole no matter what the debate is about. And it’s amazing how many Dawg fans post onto Tech blogs … and pile on with ridicule and hate filled blather. Suggests a ton of resentment. Why? It only comes across as the rantings of a disgruntled loser in life.

For the record, of late UGA SAT scores have risen to the 1250 zone and the Terry school is now turning out a lot of attractive prospective hires. Big upgrade from 20 years ago. Tech still is in the 1360 SAT zone and prospective grads generally have their pick of offers… and generally are too cocky when it comes time to accept or decline.

Rather than Dawg and Jacket fans stupidly firebombing one another here, maybe a blog topic on: Tech football recruiting to date; or Tech season tix sales past vs present and what that suggests; or Tech PR and marketing, past vs present; or Tech bball recruiting (which is a HOT topic from now through August); or how the Oline and QB are picking up the new system and how long until they can make it work; or Wommack’s D vs Tenuta’s D; or Tech athletics’ financial bind and how much fans can be expected to dig down for; or etc,etc.

GT Hoops will be just fine. We have a good coach whos a GREAT recruiter and can assemble a hell of a team. I do agree tho that we need some fresh blood among the assistants…to help him with game planning.
I also thought wed do better than we did with Jarvis running the PT, but he WAS only a freshman, and we ran into a pretty hot shooting UNLV team.

We will NO DOUBT be a top 6 ACC team this year, and a potential top 10 team in fall 09.

All you fools on here that dont know anything about basketball should quit posting your negativity on the blog.

Focus on what you know about (football) Althought GT HOOPS is 10 TIMES closer to a National Championship than football will ever be as long as the BCS is around!

You really think thed pick a 1 loss ACC champion team NOT named Miami or FSU…. OVER a 1 or 2 loss USC, Ohio State, Texas, or the SEC champ??

Regarding the stuff between Tech and UGA academics, I’m a Tech grad and I don’t see the point. UGA entrance requirements have increased dramatically over the past 10-15 years and is now a tough school to enter. I think most of the noise we hear is from the UGA non-grad fan base which is huge. Tech dosen’t have that degree of “sidewalk” support. I live in South Carolina and see almost as many UGA caps and bumper stickers as Clemson. We attach everything to football success because in the south our NFL interest is slim. When UGA has the team quality they have had in the past 5 years, they will automatically receive huge support. Tech has got to step up and get to the next level on the field and all this will take care of itself.

Coach Polk, do a little research before you pretend to know what a Rhodes Scholar is. I’ll make it easy for you. Scholarships are granted with preference to schools THAT HAVE NEVER HAD ONE.

Bug: UGA has had 20 Rhodes Scholars (unless I missed one between 2000 and 2007). Please provide your research.

I am astounded about Radacovich getting a 70% positive vote for doing a good job. The overall program, particularly basketball and baseball, is not as good as it was before he came. What are my fellow alums looking at? Bill Curry would do a much better job and portray a much better image. Hewitt should have been fired already. He has a much worse ACC record than Gailey. Please alums be more demanding.

Wow, you pretty much just made a blog for people to come in and call each other rednecks, white trash, and nerds. Well played. I took part in this earlier, mainly b/c I was getting sick of reading all of the uga posts on the tech blog, but this is just ridiculous. When it comes to schools, Tech has better degree programs in terms of getting a job right out of school. They do not have the many “fluff” majors that UGA does, that may require a phd to even be considered for hire (pysch, sociology). But UGA has great business and journalism schools. This topic is stupid. Both are great schools, I think tech is better, but not by much. And in all reality, UGA might be a little tougher to get accepted in b/c of the influx in applicants. This is a terrible blog, holy crap. Bicker bicker bicker. I would almost rather have these comment sections blocked off, b/c only about 1 in 10 posts is relevant AND intelligent.

Techf@n,

Weren’t you the guy who wrote about Mark Richt molesting young boys? Give us a break. You fit right in with the other retards on this blog, so don’t act like you don’t.

Yep, and I thought it was pretty funny. I just don’t think that Winkel should be blatently encouraging everyone to write redneck and nerd over and over again. The least he could do is give us a legitimate topic to read, and THEN start bickering below it. Did you even read what I wrote, or just see my name and go from there Shirley? I never said that I wrote intelligent comments. Idiot

Yeah, I read what you wrote. First of all, you show how low class you are to think that’s funny. And you agree that you fall in with the other 9 out of 10 posts that are irrelevant and unintelligent by saying you didn’t write anything intelligent. Jeez, how stupid are you? Do yourself a favor, next time you catch yourself typing just stop. Better not to say anything and be thought a fool than say something stupid and remove all doubt. It will be great if this sports blog ever gets back to sports.

Matt - how ‘bout blogging about something intelligent? The 5% of losers who post back and forth on these blogs don’t need any encouragement…..
