I love this team and this coach. I hope to see CPJ roaming the sidelines for a long time. If I remember correctly, CPJ get some serious bonuses for some of thos goals. But I don’t believe for a minute it is about the money for him.

They have their priorities in order. Something Chan & Reggie never seemed to get. That is something that will only get even more ingrained the more in state recruits we get.

Beating Georgia was the correct #1 goal. If Tech proved good enough to whip the Dawgs between the hedges, they would be at the top of the ACC.

They have proven themselves and will go into the Georgia game with confidence that they can win the game.

They have won games over teams Georgia would have lost to. They would have played Alabama and Florida tougher than Georgia.

They are ready to win the game this Saturday.

And, from personal experience, it feels great to win that game in Athens.

It is not just another game.

With regards to the betting line in the game - keep in mind the line is not a prediction by a sports prognosticator of the outcome but merely the number of points needing to be offered to get an equal amount of money wagered on both sides. That being the case, the fact that UGA has a natural fan base that is more than double that of Tech’s, it stands to reason the line would be skewed somewhat in their favor.

UGA probably should be favored. I would think the realistic line would be 6 or 7.

Of course, the score at the end of the game will be a different story. This is the year a new streak begins.

GO JACKETS! THWG!

That is a ridiculous priority. Sure we want to beat UGA, but the ACC title is more important.

That line on the UGA- Tech game is about right. If UGA plays up they beat us pretty good. If they play down Tech is in it. Hate to say it, but our chances rest in the ability for UGA to beat themselves.

Don’t understand the Chic-fil-a predictions. BC fans don’t travel (shh UGA fans on Tech attendance) and the CFA bowl is usually good at parring up a good game. I see FSU, Tech or VT going to that one depending on the final couple games. Orange Bowl is VT-Cincy- VT wins CFA-FSU-LSU- LSU wins Gator- Tech-WV- Tech wins Champs- BC-Iowa - who cares

Observer,

Now is the perfect opportunity to put your money where you mouth is….this is your chance to make huge amounts of money…book the trip to Vegas now and put your money on your beloved insects and let them know you don’t need the 11 but would rather only have 6 points.

Beating Georgia to go to 9-3 and going to a good bowl game would be much better than sneaking into the ACC championship game at 8-4 just because V-Tech spit the bit against Virginia. Plus, the Jackets only have a say in ONE of the games, and that’s the one in Athens. I know, the Dogs have a higher ranking, and they are deeper, and they’ve had 2 weeks to prepare, and they are at home…but if Tech doesn’t turn the ball over more than once, the streak is going to end at 7. On the other hand, if the Jackets turn it over more than twice, you better hide your eyes because it’s going to get ugly.

NYJacket, are you kidding me? Tech beat teams Georgia would have lost too?

Georgia would be undefeated with Tech’s week schedule. Alabama and Florida are two of the 5 best teams in the country. Georgia is obviously not that good this year, but Tech hasn’t played anyone even close to an Alabama or Florida. Georgia beat everyone else they played, and would have beaten everyone on Tech’s schedule. I do agree that Tech could have played Bama and Florida tougher because Tech’s defense is better.

It will be a great game. Tech is looking really good, and my DAWGS are not, but be realistic man.

No idea who wins this Saturday as both teams have shown they are capable of dominant performances and shooting themselves in the foot. Tech is by far the younger, less experienced team, and Georgia has greater depth so it is no slight to Tech to be the underdog.

But this game feels like it will be much closer than 11 points because the teams match up well. Stafford and the receivers should be able to pick on Tech’s linebackers and secondary and the Jackets should be able to move the ball against the dogs D line.

Based on what I’ve heard dog fans complain about, neither team is very good on special teams. If Tech plays like they did against Miami last week, I sure like their chances to win a close game.

But if they revert to the UNC game and muff punts and kickoffs and turn the ball over, Stafford will make them pay.

I said it during Chan’s tenure and it still stands - - all the wins during the season mean nothing without a win over Georgia. That being said, I do like Johnson a lot and think he has it in him to beat UGA. Forget 8 years in a row - Paul will win 9 in a row!!!

It should not be questioned what the #1 priority is, Beat georgia. It is ingrained in us from our fight song to “what’s the good word”?

Tech is fortunate to have gotten Paul Johnson as our coach. He has instilled an attitude and swagger in our program that I haven’t seen since the Bobby Dodd days. uga will never win big with Richt at the helm, he’s a fine man but can’t control “most” of his 5 star athletes because they lack the discipline and dedication it takes to win championships, which can’t be won by pure talent alone.

georgia could very well win this Saturday, but I will promise you that Paul Johnson WILL not allow uga to own us as they have for the last 7 years. He takes it personally and will make it his mission to make it a rivarly again.

wordy, you don’t understand. The priorities were set by the seniors, not cpj. After 7 years of Gaileyball it was absolutely necessary for these seniors to reestablish the importance of this game. It is not just another game. These seniors knew that winning against UGA would cap a successful season. They knew that UGA would be ranked #1 early and higly ranked all year and to win against them will push up our ranking. And winning the in-state rivalry game goes very far in recruiting.

Now, let’s see this senior class go achieve their #1 goal. It’s been a great season and with 1 game remaining ALL of their goals are still attainable.

If I hear one more Booze Dog fan talk about their “tough” schedule, I think I will puke. Do you idiots realize how weak the dog schedule turned out to be, and how overrated the SEC is? If the dogs were to beat Tech, it would be their ONLY win this year against a ranked team. As it has turned out, their “signature” win was against a weak LSU team which will not finish in the Top 25. The SEC has two quality football teams…the rest are just average to poor, and that includes the dogs.

“They have won games over teams Georgia would have lost to. They would have played Alabama and Florida tougher than Georgia.”

Yes, the same team that squeaked by Gardner Webb and got blasted by UNC could hang tough with Bama and Florida. Whatever you say Techie. Good grief. One good win and these clowns are sky high and on top of the world. And its not like Miami is even worth a crap. Sure, they were ranked, but that had to be the most pathetic offense of any ranked team I have ever seen. They looked like a junior high team. Get over yourselves Techies. You have accomplished nothing this year other than marginally exceeding extremely low expectations. Whoopdeefreakindoo. Give Tech a trophy. Can’t wait to make it eight in ‘08. See you in Athens. Bring plenty of kleenex. You’ll need it.

we didnt have a chance to talk that long because he was getting called for his manicure/pedicure. i am not sure if we win this one fello dogs but i damn sure know richt will be looking good on the sidelines when he is pooping in his pants again.

That isn’t a very smart statement. The only losses are to the #1 (Alabama) and #2 (Florida) teams in the country. They both happen to be in the SEC.

Take a look at the top 25. It has been dominated by the SEC and Big 12 all season long.

At least we struggled against other SEC teams and not Gardner Webb. Remember that 10-7 game that Tech has to squeak out?

By who cares

I don’t mean to be a pessimistic fan, but I mean to be a realistic fan when I say….. we’re likely to get killed in this game. Remember 51-7? I do. I honestly believe that was the last time UGA even tried to play against us. The rest of the years have just been a mockery or lots of bored and unchallenged UGA players. Now they’ve got fresh bait (CPJ) thinking that we can win against them. We’re out-sized, out-talented, and we’ll be out-coached. The SEC is a stronger conference than the ACC and we’ve got to remember that. I love that we’re spirited and likely full of hate this time, but just be ready for lots of disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my team through the good and bad, but I am realistic to myself about the bottom line. And of course the bottom line is: If I had to put money on the game, I’d pick UGA +11 way over the Jackets

I would never put money on UGA because my blood boils in hate when I think of those trailer-trash-marry-my-cousin-lack-of-real-contribution-to-society-band-wagon dawgs. As long as we hit them in the mouth, I’ll still be a happy jackets fan!

Why do UGA fans insist on mentioning the Gardner Webb game as a gauge for our skill level? We had to start our 3rd and 4th string QBs. I don’t even know who UGA’s 3rd and 4th string QBs would be. UGA fans need to face it that our strength of schedule is not much different than theirs. Yes, you played two great teams (UF, AL), 3 decent teams (CM, SC, Vandy), and the rest 6 were poor. GT played no great teams (yet), 7 decent teams and 4 poor (Duke-although they beat Vandy, MSU, GW, & JSU). The game comes down to depth, GT doesn’t have it so we must have our starters. If we do then the game will be won on a couple critical plays.

Take it from a UGA fan, even if you win the ACC you will still be ridiculed without mercy if you lost to us AGAIN. A bunch of drunk monkeys could win the ACC. Nobody outside the ACC cares. I’m not even sure those inside the ACC care that much judging by ACCCG attendance numbers. Your entire football program is defined by one game and one game only. The UGA game. This will be just one of many big games against a big rival for Georgia this year. This is Tech’s only big rival. This is Tech’s only big game. Your entire season will be played out on Saturday at Noon. Nothing that comes before or after will matter, especially if you lose. I’d wish you luck but judging by some of the arrogant comments posted lately Tech apparently doesn’t need it. They’ve got this one in the bag against “average to poor” Georgia. Sure thing.

We had to start our 3rd and 4th string QBs. I don’t even know who UGA’s 3rd and 4th string QBs would be

We are down to about 7 offensive linemen. We just about lost a OL player per game. With 7 OL means that there are only 2 extra players because 5 have to be out on the field when we have the ball. We have players that were supposed to be red shirted this year having to play. Having to shuffle OL every week does make a difference.

OL & DL are the lifeblood to any football team. Look at Alabama. The biggest difference to their defense from last year to this year is Mount Cody. He is Grady Jackson size in college.

Matt- you should check out Jeff Sargin Rankings then-

The breakdown for SOS he has the ACC with 8 teams in the top 20 with 6 of those teams in the top 10 SOS.

The SEC has 4 teams in the top 20 and 2 in the top 10. UGA does have #6 while Tech has #41 which will improve after this weekend- ALL ACC Teams are in the Top 50. I have to admit at the start of the season I said UGA’s schedule was brutal-however that is when half of the schedule had alomst every team preseason in the top 25. The SEC is very over hyped for THIS YEAR! Truthfully-you could compare both conferences this year and you will see they mirror each other. I will say that the SEC’s top two are stronger than the the ACC’s top 2. Overall from top to bottom the ACC has a better conference this YEAR- I’m not going to start by listing who beat who-you can’t start doing that because then you would have one team who has not shot beating everybody- We will play the game this weekend and then see who comes out on top-I will say that most of these games have been close- I like Tech’s chances this year- I have followed both Tech and UGA for 33 plus years now-And yes UGA hands down has the better athletes-This Tech team has something they have not shown since O’Leary- HEART and that you can’t coach- THWG!!!

Tech will play close, they always do with that great defense they have. But in the end UGA is more battle tested, played in more big games, has better athletes, and plays with a level head in the game…opposite of how they approach the Florida game.

And to some of you that say Richt cannot win big games please stop talking. This man since 2001 has: - 2 SEC Titles - Won two Sugar Bowls - 5-2 record in Bowl games ( - 81-21 overall - Finished in the top ten five times - NEVER lost to GT

Say what you want about this season or what CPJ is going ot do at Tech but I say you guys can only dream that he has anything close to the success of CMR when/if he is at your school after almost 8 full seasons.

Gooo Dawgs, time to make it 8 in a row and 15 of 18.

What’s the deal with all this trailer park, momma, redneck trash talking. Someone is obviously speaking from experience.

The line is about right although it will be a closer game if both teams play well. That being, as with all ballgames, we won’t know until we play the game.

UGA would be undefeated with Techs schedule and Tech would have 4 plus losses with Ga.’s. That doesn’t matter so why blog about it.

This is about where I thought Tech should be at the end of the season. Actually counted on the homecoming game as a win, ouch. We don’t deserve to go to a championship game if we can’t win our homecoming.

As for the No. 1 goal, who could blame them, 7 in a row is embarrassing even for a technical school. Although any dawg fan will tell you that this game is the last of our 4 rivalry games. TN, AU, FLA is much more important than the tech game. Sorry but this one really is not that important.

wow..as expected, the gatech..”we are world” optimism is unleashed with the victory over miami. Nice win tech. The techies are now going to face a real offense with the best quarterback they have seen all year and receivers, not to mention a few running backs. Holding a freshman group with no real ability to be a qb in miami is no comparison with what you are going to face in Athens. Georgia’s defense isnt getting any respect but the gators only had 380 yards of offense..demps and rainey were held to less than 3 yards per carry. Tech is going to finally see a defense with some experience and a defense that has backups with enough talent to play as well.

Yes Yes Yes. A UGA win is the top priority for TECH. Why? It is common sense and the best business practice to Always take care of business at home first. The best football athletes in the world come from GA. Your talent pool grows when you win. Everybody wants to be apart of a winning program. That talent will help you win the ACC and BCS bowl games. Don’t get me wrong, winning the ACC is extremely important and TECH understands that. Building everyone else’s home before you build yours is just stupid. First, of all you won’t do it because you won’t have the talent. Then fiscally you will struggle because you don’t have the fan support. Beat UGA the next 5 to 7 years in a row or even trade wins for the next 10 years and you will see those seats fill up at Bobby Dodd with those Bandwagon fans that just want to be associated with winners. Then watch UGA cover those empty seats with a poster of the UGA MUTTS. Beater talent, More Talent signed, plus a Coach that eat, sleeps and breathes winning spells great years to come for TECH and Nothing but the blues for UGA. REMEMBER UGA AND TECH FANS, UGA HAS HAD SUPPOSEDLY THE BEST TALENT AND DEPTH FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. BUT YET, TECH HAD A CHANCE TO WIN 6 OUT OF 7 OF THOSE GAMES. UGA KNOWS IT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH COACHING. WELL, WE TOOK CARE OF THAT PROBLEM So let me leave all of you with the phrase of the year for the next decade and beyond. IT’S GREAT TO BE A YELLOW JACKET…I SAID IT’S GREAT TO BE A YELLOW JACKET!!! TO HELL WITH GEORGIA AND ALL OF ITS FAKE GLORY

Re: Schedules

Georgia has played an overall tougher schedule only because Tech’s three bottom opponents (GW, Jack State, Miss St) were significantly worst than UGA’s bottom three (GSU, Tenn, Ariz St).

Using to the Sagarin ratings, Tech is 4-2 against top 30 teams (Only Oklahoma at 4-1 has as many wins against top 30 opps) and UGA is 0-2.

After Alabama and Florida there is a huge drop off in UGA’s schedule.

So, don’t be so quick to dismiss GT’s schedule.

Roddy- UGA has played in two big games this year? Would you agree? They got hammered both games on National TV. I’m not taking anything from what CMR has done at UGA. CMR has had the talent every year to win and yes UGA will continue to win 9 games every year and go to a new years bowl-I just don’t see this team playing with PASSION- You look at Stafford on the sidelines they could be up by 30 or down by 30 and he has the same expression-yeah he may run down and high five someone after throwing a pass for a TD-but the UGA team has played with little passion all year outside of your LB Currin (not sure of the spelling) he seems the only one to play with emotion! I don’t care how battle tested UGA is-Law of Average tells you that CMR will lose at some point- and this could be the year-I’ve watched UGA fans call for Willie’s job all year-So even with the week to prepare-What makes you or any other Dawg think he will be ready for the “gimmick offense” if he can’t get up for your two biggest games of the year within your conference? CPJ has not proved himself yet, but if the first season is any indication of what is to come-I like the future of Tech Football. I never would have thought Tech would be 8-3 going into Athens-And truth be told UGA and Tech fans alike would not have thought that as well- AGAIN- Tech Believes and HEART!!

I think UGA will always get the better athletes. Lets face it, all kids want to (and think they will) make it to the NFL They really have no idea how bad the odds are against them making it but if you think you can make it through life playing ball why go to a school that would require studying. I know, some have to put in extra hours to find out how much a three point shot is worth but UGA has enough crip courses to keep most of players eligible.

CPJ understands that the UGA game is probably more important to Tech’s future success than winning the ACC would be. Consider the bump in recruiting GT would get in-state by beating UGA and ending that embarassing losing streak.

Winning the ACC and going to the Orange Bowl would be nice, short term, but beating UGA has the potential to lead to many more wins (i.e. ACC championships and BCS bowls) in the future.

Also, since UGA was the projected toughest opponent on our schedule this year, making beating them our #1 goal was hardly shortsighted or settling for a lesser goal. Beat UGA and we should have a chance to beat any team on our schedule (which BTW we have up to this point).

What’s funny to me is how tech fans just get on the blogs and make fun of all georgia fans for being “inbred” or “ignorant” or “trailer trash.” The fact it that yes, we do have our fair share of south georgia band wagon redneck fans that do not even know what a georgia diploma looks like (and if they do it was from 50 years ago). The fact is that according to most university rating systems, the University of Georgia is ranked higher than Tech. Don’t get me wrong, I have much respect for Tech as an engineering school, as both my father and grandfather went there and received great educations in architecture an civil engineering. The bottom line is this: UGA is now officially harder to get into than Tech. We have TWO Rhodes Scholars compared to Tech’s ZERO. And we are one of the leading universities in reaearch. I hate to talk about stuff like this on the football blogs, but honestly it is only in response to all of the cry-baby Tech fans who arent confident enough to talk about their footnall team, so they have to slam our very respected university. Tech fans just need to get used to UGA having a better football team AND a better school. As far as the game goes Saturday, I’ll say this: If it rains, that is an automatic advantage to Tech. Their style of offense will be more efficient than ours in the rain. The key to the game is TURNOVERS. Tech’s style of offense is turnover-prone, and if they cough the ball up Stafford and company wil make them pay. On defense I wil give the advantage to Tech. On offense, the advantage goes to UGA. And Special teams are about even. I guess you can give the intangibles to Tech considering all they still have to play for and being that they have lost 7 straight. I think Tech will definitely be able to score on UGA, but then again I don’t think Tech can stop UGA either. I anticipate a classic Georgia-Georgia Tech game, with UGA pulling out a victory on a late field goal. Final score: 31-28. GO DAWGS!!!!!

First the facts: Ugag has won seven straight but this is still a very hotly contested rivalry. Anyone that thinks all 7 of those games was domination is delusional. 2001 - pups run in a late pick to go up 14. 2004 - TECH down by 5 and 1st and 10 at about the Ugag 25 with about a minute to go. 2005 - Ugag up by 7 in the closing minutes with TECH at the 10. 2006 - pups score a late TD to win by 3. 2007 - 3 loose balls in Ugag’s end zone, if TECH comes up with 2 of those that’s a 14 point swing in a 14 point game. Either the sec is a little stronger than the ratings think or Ugag is weaker than a 13th ranked team. The evidence seems to point that the sec is down this year. Wyoming (who just fired their coach) whipped UT in Knoxville, Duke beats Vandy on the road, TECH stomps MSU (who carried LSwho to the brink), Troy nearly shocks LSwho on the road. Auburn, UT, Vandy, Carolina, Kentucky (until they played Ugag) have some of the most pathetic offenses you could ever see. After all is said and done, SOS, conferences, season record, won’t matter one bit when they tee it up Saturday in Athens. My pick - TECH 33 pups 24.

The number one goal is always the game your fans/alumni most want to win. I’d say that’s the Georgia game.

Georgia’s offense could give us lots of problems as we have a young secondary and linebacker group. They also have those crucial 2 weeks of rest/getting healthy. It will be a tall order for a young, bruised up Tech team to win… but I think they can. I think they will play hard for 60 minutes and leave everything out on the field. Go Tech!

A couple of thoughts on some of the stuff posted above - first, UGA beating Tech would have no impact on Tech’s ACC championship hopes…if UVA beats V-Tech, we are in the ACC Championship game, period. Second, and this is IMHO, I don’t agree with the poster who said Georgia is the better-coached team…for the 1st time since the Chan Gailey Debacle started, I think Tech has the better head coach. One other thing, I don’t know who a wet field favors…both teams have to run effectively to win, so it seems like a push to me, although others may see one team w/ a clear advantage.

Just a short note to Laxdog. For you to suggest that UGA outranks GT in academics is laughable. All you need to do is google the US News university rankings for 2009 and you will see Tech ranks 7th among all national public universities while UGA ranks 20th. As for all universities, public and private, GT ranks 35th and UGA ranks 58th.I would love to see what ranking you were referring to but it would not be as authorotative as the US News survey.

They instead are inrolled in programs like Food Science, Trailer Park Management, and Live Stock Management. Stupid athletes can make it into UGA, however Tech can’t even offer them a scholarship.

NYJACKET

Whose offense and defense had been installed for years when we played Auburn and Kentucky? Their offenses and defenses?

You might want to go back and check yourself on those. Auburn’s offense is some kind of hybrid offense devised after their attempt at running a kind of option attack in the SEC failed miserably and they fired their coordinator mid-season. Kentucky started a running QB for the first time this year and against UGA in as far back as I can remember. They were able to run, yes, but they were also able to pass, something GT has not really shown they can do. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try more on Saturday, though. Both Auburn and Kentucky were home games for them and if you think a team is not more jacked up at home than away, think again. I guess you being in NY (assuming you are) has gotten you a bit out of touch.

The only dominance for the purposes of this blog is the dominance UGA has had over GT in the past 7 years. That cannot be disputed. Not dominance in the games as much as in wins and losses, and that’s what really matters, now isn’t it?

It seems that you are smoking some of the good stuff with that post.

I agree that the ACC is better than it initially seemed to be. However, the 2009 College Football season has been about 2 things.

(1) the Big 12 quarterbacks (2) the SEC defenses

The rest has been filler. That includes the ACC. An inconsistent ACC has allow GT to stay in the hunt.

Even the SEC lower teams had decent defenses. I mean SC, TN, KY all had decent defenses. However, their qb situations kept the defenses on the field too much and they tired out.

Ole Miss is legit. Houston Nutt is a good coach. He is using the players that Ogeron recruited and making them a team. Actually, they are similar to GT. Both of y’all were underachievers under the former coaches, but the new coach has made the players play together. Denying Ole Miss as a legit team is similar to saying that you guys aren’t better. Last year is last year. Both teams have new coaches and new attitudes.

Talk to me on the eve of CPJ’s 8th meeting with UGA. Tell me if he has 3 BCS births, 2 conf titles, 5-2 in bowls, won 2 BCS bowl games, and has beaten UGA SEVEN years in a row!!!!!!!!!

Until then just sit back and enjoy being the 2nd tier football program in the state.

For the final time; ACC vs. SEC

3 teams from SEC in top 11 of this weeks BCS 3 teams from ACC in bottom 5 of this weeks BCS.

Check it out. Alabama 1, Florida 4, Georgia 11 Check it out. Florida State 20, Ga. Tech 22, Boston College 21.

Now explain how the ACC is better!

SlimG,

Nice to see how you’re only counting the top 3 teams in each conference considering each conference has 12 teams.

Your logic shows that Alabama and Florida are elite teams and that Georgia is good. That doesn’t prove anything about the SEC except that it has 2 elite teams.

Now lets look at the whole conference. SI’s ranking isn’t up yet so I’ll use last week:

Average Rank of teams in each Conference: SEC: 41.1 ACC: 39.9

So that would mean the ACC is better. Don’t like that? How about setting up an ACC/SEC Challenge where the best, 2nd best, 3rd best (and so on) teams play eachother? In this case the SEC would win only 4 games (Alabama, Florida, LSU, Georgia) and the ACC would win everything else (even Duke’s matchup with Tennessee).

But go ahead and use polls to decide the better conference. The ACC thanks you.

(Personally I’d go with a different topic like how terrible the BCS is or why defensive players can’t win the Heisman, or how terrible a commentator Lou Holtz is.)

By The Price is Right

November 24, 2008 4:55 PM | Link to this

When did the BCS rankings become fact? Ask Auburn what they think about that particular version of the “truth”.

The argument for the ACC is that they are are a better conference top to bottom (with emphasis on the bottom). We think our mid-tier and bottom dweller are better than yours - and unbiased computer rankings ,like Sagarin, back us up.

We’ll have a better idea about that come Saturday.

That same list of schools has Cornell(an ivey leauge school) ranked in the 70s….the real rankings are US and news reports where tech owns UGA. UGA has one good degree program…Journalism. Tech has top ranked engineering programs in almost every discipline,and not to mention a top ten computing college and top twenty managment college. I know so many people who got into UGA and not tech…in fact everyone who I know that goes to tech(in state) got into UGA on early admissions. Me included…our SAT averages range from 1260-1410 of 1600 and UGA’s are 1150-1280….and as for the rhodes scholarship. It is a liberal arts scholarship and Tech students dont have majors that are offered at Oxford such as pre-med and lit. I mean FSU has had like 5 rhodes scholars in the last three years(one a football player) and that doesnt make them a great school. How many rhodes scholars come from MIT and Cal tech?? none because they study engineering and Computer Science

I had to check in before the end of the day and what do I see but you calling me out for some insight. I guess you’ve still that got twinge in your pants from the streaking incident you brought up on Saturday. If I remember correctly, you said it reminded you of the heifer stall before college, or something like that. By the way, man are you old!

Anyway here is my insight: Both sides can talk all they want this week. The teams will suit and play on Saturday, and with God willing, my wife (or blow-up doll) as you call her, won’t be in labor and I’ll get to watch the game. You know, I bet you have experience with a blow-up doll and I bet she doesn’t constantly come up with new crap to do around the house. You might be onto something, LD.

Average sums it up. You guys have to go on average because nobody in the ACC is up top. Don’t see any of these stats that really matter except being No.1 or 2 at the end.

How much revenue do the bottom dwellers generate? Not much. If memory serves, some rule was made so the SEC couldn’t take all the BCS bowls. Share the wealth. HAHA

Where did the last two national champs come from?SEC

Average is what a tech grad strives for. Average job, average pay, and average benefits. Can you name a tech grad that has ever come up with a creative idea? They just want a job supervising a bunch of losers.

Don’t have a prediction for the game, Tech’s running back looks a lot like Turner for the Falcons, strong runner, didn’t see any of the Hurricane’s saftey’s or corners trying to tackle him either. Not recruited to tackle runner, recruited to defend the pass i guess. He’ll be hard to stop on Saturday though that’s for sure. Tech may have a hard time keeping up with AJ Green on the Dawgs side of the ball, he’s hard to stop also, Tech’s d-line gets pressure on Stafford could be a long day for the Dawgs. Don’t see either team strong enough on defense to stop the others offense. Should be a good game. Would like to see GT go to that ACC CG though.

Your correct, UGA hasn’t stopped a mobile QB all year and the scary part is the one from GT will be the best one we’ve faced this year. I’d say GT has more than a chance. Take our best game of the year to win.

you know those points don’t mean alot. Look at how few points was thrown out last week for the TT and Oklahoma game. 11 points will probally be down to 6 by gametime and thats for home field for the Dawgs, i was just curious what the over/under will be. Anyone??????

I swear. Tech fans and Georgia fans on these boards are both DUMB!

Tech Fans:

Your obsession with beating UGA is absurd and is part of the reason why you haven’t been able to do it recently. I understand your hate for Georgia, but realistically, winning the ACC usually should be a higher priority. Year in and year out the SEC is much tougher than the ACC and Georgia is usually one of the top teams in the SEC. On a yearly basis, if you can’t win the ACC, it’s very unrealistic to EXPECT to beat Georgia. Of course, upsets do happen and it is sweet to beat your rival. Also, this year the SEC is not that much above the ACC, if at all, and Georgia is a distant third in the SEC this year. And you also have to remember that this game has no outcome on the ACC race. Therefore, it is understandable why the two goals can be held separate, even if the order is out of whack.

Georgia fans:

You guys need to chill. I swear, you would think the program is in shambles. You guys are 9-2 with a chance to go 11-2 and the worst case scenario would be 9-4. Even the elite teams have years like that on occasion(LSU). I know the expectations for you guys this year were much higher, but rarley does a team start preseason #1 and finish there. Besides, the preseason votes were close, so it’s not like you were an overwhelming choice. Mark Richt is a good coach who has consistently had you guys in the top ten. If he keeps this up, you will have a title soon. And as far this weekend goes, I wouldn’t feel over confident about Tech, nor would I say that you don’t have a shot. This Tech team is probably the best team they have brought into this game since Mark Richt has been coaching you guys. Ok, no probably about it. They are. And you guys have looked a little lackluster recently. However, people forget that earlier in the season you guys were actually amazing in stuffing the run. Even Bama, who is very excellent at rushing only averaged 3.3 yds per carry against you. If you get some of that defensive swagger back, which can happen with the extra week off, you will be fine. This game should be a dandy, regardless of who wins. And it could go either way.

Russell,

Not so fast my friend. The SEC is probably still better than the ACC this year, but the SEC is clearly not as good as recent years or as good as it will be in future years. Tech and FSU, I do believe are the two best teams in the ACC this year and Georgia is a distant third in the SEC. I do agree that the win over Miami should be tempered a little bit. They had won 4 straight, but none of them were very impressive. And every ACC team has shown they can look awful at times this year. However, Tech did beat a good Miami team in an impressive fashion.

If they attained that goal then they WOULD NO DOUBT be atop the ACC…Because the Dawgs are better than ANYBODY in the ACC. sounds like good theory, but terribly flawed. Tech will not score over 14 points, Dawgs score 42 in a roll. Going to be a LOOOOONNGG drive back out 316 on the way back to ‘DA HOOD! Here’s what I can’t believe, CPJ has never played college ball. He has never even played Varsity high school ball. The closest he has ever come to “playing” has been on the video game “NCAA FOOTBALL”.

Tech 75: “Would love to see these teams play when both are healthy.”

I would not wish for that if I were you. Could you imagine J. Owens and G. Atkins in the middle of UGA’s D-Line with a rotation of Irvin and Weston? The Turkey Neck (aka Michael Johnson) would never stand a chance of getting around Sturdivant or Boling. Georgia has lost a total of 18 players to season ending injuries.

Georgia should win by 2 TD’s but it is Georgia and Georgia rarely covers……especially at home. As a fan, I say Georgia all the way. If I was a betting man, I’d take Tech getting the points.

Your beef should be with the AJC for treating you like 2nd class citizens. At the same time, your sophomoric diatribe is “high school” at best.

I would say that it is reasonable to expect you guys to beat Georgia more often that you have.

Hey Pensacola Mutt, Here is your comparison, Ole Miss beat UF in the swamp, and only lost by 4 points to the Tide. However they lost to Wake Forest who lost to Boston College and UM Hurricanes. Now you might have forgotten that GA Tech beat Boston College earlier this year but I know you saw the beatdown that the Jackets put on the canes last week, and yes that is the same Hurricanes that held the Gators to 26 in the swamp this year. How many points did the Gators score against the high and might SEC teams…..30,30,38,51,63,49, (but you remember that one) 42, and 56. The Miami Hurricanes held them to fewer points than any SEC team this year, and GA Tech had to pull starters to keep from breaking the record for the most rushing yards ever given up.

I wish you SEC worshipping Dawg fans would go to the Sagarin rating where you’ll find the ACC rated second behind the Big 12. The SEC is rated THIRD. The Sagarin is not a “vote for your favorite team” poll where writers and coaches vote for their buddies. Besides Tech beat Mississippi a little worse than Bama, and Tech put MSU away in the first half. I don’t know who’ll win Saturday, but don’t get too cocky Dawg fans.

TECH FAN TRAVEL ADVISORY: To all Tech fans travelling to the game on Saturday who plan on dining in the Athens area! If you don’t want you and your friends or family to be exposed to obnoxious Dawg fans, avoid any restaurants that offer an “all-you-can-eat” menu or any of those 99 cent menu joints.

I will just say this, Tech will win if we play with emotion and a passion for the game and the rivalry, which is unlike all of the teams under Gailey’s regime. Clearly, the Dawgs are better on paper, we all know that, Paul Johnson and CMR know this, everyone knows this we get it. My point is that you guys were clearly underachieving with the best recruits around and GT is overachieving despite every possible obstacle to us. We are not a lock, obviously, we are going to give you guys a run for your money and that’s all I’m going to say. Good luck. Go Jackets.

Brooks, The score in the NC game did not reflect how the game was played. That happens sometimes. The D played OK until late in the game when they were tired and we gave up the short field on turnover’s. The offense gained 425 yards and scored 7. If we played again, we would likely beat them. UGA is a strong, fast team, playing at home. We’ll need a couple of breaks on turnovers and some dropped UGA passes to win. I hope we win, but NO WAY UGA covers the spread.
