The Georgia game was the biggest and most important. Not only did we break the streak, but we showed the nation we could play with the 3rd best team in the SEC and beat them in their house. The offense was explosive. To reach 9 wins and become the highest ranked ACC team scrounged up more national exposure than any other point in the season. Not to mention the recruiting gains that were made in that victory. Add to that the CFA Bowl birth giving us a chance to play yet another SEC team, at home, more or less. The win over UGA pushed us over the top of that slippery crest of the hill. Now the mo’ is really behind us.

I’d have to say the Georgia and Florida State games were both huge! These teams have had alot of success aganist us lately and we showed a ton of mettle by winning two games that could have been two loses. I couldn’t be prouder of this team!!

All of the wins are different, but I agree the UGA win was the biggest. It was also very important to get the FSU monkey off of our backs.

Of course, the GW game was important because every year there is one game that can derail a season, and this one almost did.

Lastly, I think the B.C. game early was really the key to our successful season. That B.C. defense was for real, and we went up there and probably stole one, especially since our offense was not nearly what it could be at that point. That game proved to me what I already had believed. We now had a coach that could “outcoach” another team for a close victory.

But I would have taken a 1-11 season if you had told me the “1” would have been over UGA.

Go Jackets!!

45-42 - My jaws hurt from the smile that will not leave my face every time I see a “G” on a car or a red shirt on someone. Quite a game. Miami was good from start to finish and great with national exposure but 45 - 42 still takes it.

I’m thinking the Georgia Game was the most important of the year (or 7 years). However the Bowl game on December 31st is now the most important game of the year. A loss in this game really would sting and might give people doubts about this team next year. However I think a win with what we have coming back on offense will contribute to people putting us in the top 10 preseason polls, which is a necessity to even have a legitimate shot at the National Title. This might sound far fetched, but I look at us to be competing for an udefeated season and all that comes with that for the next 2 years.

Of all the games we’ve already played, the win against Georgia was probably the most important because it was against the preseason #1 Team in the Country, a vaunted SEC Team, and our arch-rival that we haven’t beaten in a number of years.

I would also say that the Chick-fil-A Bowl against LSU is extremely important for GA Tech. Coach Johnson gets the additional time to work with the team; almost like an extra Spring practice session.

Try imagining what additional parts of Paul John’s playbook that can be implemented now that the team is getting healthy and really starting to grasp the new offense…

GA Tech will also have a National TV audience all to themselves on New Year’s Eve as they play against the defending National Champions. If Georgia Tech plays well, then they can be set up for a decent preseason ranking going into next year.

Nothing compares to beating Georgia: in Athens, national coverage on CBS, 7 year monkey off our back, huge impact in recruiting, kept Tech in east coast bowl game, accomplished #1 team goal.

Second most important win would be BC on the road. Showed the team what they were capable of and that Jonathan Dwyer was a game-breaker. I just think the team had to take tremendous confidence out of beating a strong team on the road so early in the season.

FSU was also huge, but that BC was the first clue that Tech really had a new sheriff in town.

Thanks, Ken. Good assessments of the wins. It hurts, that just one more win, over VT, UVA, or UNC, would have sent us to the ACC title game, at 6-2.

Probably the bloggers who are saying that the victory over Georgia was the best, are right. It has to make one smile, now, to read the sour-grapes blogs of UGA fans who are still down-playing the triple option, saying that it’s a “high school offense.” I actually read that one, last week. Pathetic. To sit there and admit your defense was beaten by a high school offense!

But I think the next, and last, signature win of the season is going to be over LSU, because some Tech players have said all along, that a season’s goal for them is wins in the double-digits

Based on your definition of important, “a game was important because it helped make the season what it was” I’d say the UNC and Virginia games were most important. With hindsight, those were 2 games that we had to win and should have won. If we win either one of those games, we go to Tampa, and maybe the Orange Bowl. Although this season was exciting and an overall success, a conference title shot and a BCS game would have been way bigger.

I think the FSU, Miami, and UGA wins were the most important because they really showed what our offense was capable of. The most important part of those games though were that they showed where our team was heading. I think those game confirmed that if we could play at that level every game we could dominate the ACC.

In some ways every game/win was sort of a season unto itself. The JSU game was sort of a “let’s clear the air” thing after the way the spring game went for the offense. The BC win was big. We beat a good team on the road in a come from behind victory after a 1st half when a lot of stuff went bad. The MSU and Duke games showed what the offense could do on the ground (MSU) and through the air (Duke). They also continued to show the strength of the defense. The GW game in some ways was a microcosm of our season. We made about 3 plays in that game that gave us a win (Booker/Dwyer pass, Booker scramble, Morgan blocked FG). That’s also a reflection of how close our losses were, one or 2 plays (Nesbitt missing Jones by inches vs VPI). To me though the 2 biggest were BC and Ugag. One big point about the Ugag game was we came back from a sizeable deficit. Except for the hand full of seniors that played, most the the kids that actually played hadn’t even lost one straight but getting the win over their biggest, higher ranked rival was BIG!!! Every win after a loss is big (we accomplished that 3 times this year) but beating Ugag gave us wins in 2 big games in a row. The last game is the one you remember most so winning the LSwho game builds momentum for spring practice.

Having said that, when the post-mortem of this 10 win season is hashed out (yes, I am predicting the win against LSU), the UGA game is BY FAR the most important game/win of the season.

I believe the wins against BC, FSU and UGA were pivotal for the new program under CPJ - games most people did not think we could win. More importantly, the most significant thing about this whole discussion is that, for the first time in a long,long while, we are talking about the most important wins of a successful season, instead of the disappointing losses. I sense a sea change on The Flats that is long overdue. The winning attitude and talent of Paul Johnson is something we have not experienced in recent memory.

As for fans of the mighty, preseason #1-ranked UGA, the shoe is now on the other foot, wondering “if only we had won the FL/AL/Tech game …” Their disappointment could not be more evident in the fact that they continue to prowl the Tech blogs, in a pathetic attempt to strike the blows their team failed to deliver on the field this season.

Not much depth on the team - give them the same injuries that UGA sustained this year and they’d be 6 - 6. Go ahead and enjoy it now - yeah, whoop it up.

I’m really not meaning this to sound demeaning. I just want an honest, intelligent answer: to those of you who would be happy with a 1-11 season as long as the win is against UGA, why? That makes no sense to me. As much as we hate Florida, I think most UGA fans would still take an 11-1 season with a loss against Florida than vice-versa. And Florida is in our conference, so they affect where we end up in conference play which is more important than our non-conference games. Wouldn’t you rather beat all your ACC teams and possibly play for a BCS bowl or would you really just rather beat Georgia? I’m honestly just curious as to the reasoning of this.

It’s even worse when the series has been as streaky as it has, and you have entire classes go through without beating UGA (or not beating Tech, in the case of Quitsy Carter).

We don’t ever hear it from, say, VT. We do hear it occasionally from UVA, which is the Tennessee of the ACC (perpetually underachieving, will mess up your season, lose to them too much, obnoxious as hell when they win, and they wear orange).

RAMBLE, I’m glad to know that was an imposter and not you saying we would be #1 next year. Please. We will be ranked higher than we have since maybe 1991 but certainly not #1 and maybe not even top 10.

Please, all Tech folks, show some rational thinking on these blogs. Leave the irrational conjecture to the Doggies. We had a great season, we have a great new coach who in 1 year wiped the stench of Gaileyball from the Flats. But we beat a UGA team that most have agreed was a huge disappointment only by 3 points. While any win is great, I wouldn’t say that was a beat down. What we did to Miami and Miss St. was a beat down.

Now on to the topic of the blog. The most important game of the season is the one coming up because a win will continue the momentum into next year, help with recruiting and put another SEC scalp on CPJ’s belt.

As for the previous games, the UGA game was biggest for the obvoius reasons. Next in importance was the FSU game because it came after the dissappointing effort against UVA and kept alive a chance for the ACC crown. Next in importance was the Clemson game because it proved we could come back to win on the road in a hostile environment. Good character builder for the team.

You act like GT is a “joke”; it must really suck knowing that your “precious” and “superior” Bulldawgs have lost approximately 40% of the games played against the “weak” GT Football teams (lifetime record)! I predict the GT vs. UGA record will be close to 7-3 in favor of GT over the next 10 years!

And those same UGA fans that laughed and mocked us last year after Gailey was replaced by Johnson are now sulking in defeat and it feels sweeeeeet.

The Florida State win was the second biggest win this year, ending an even longer winless streak of 12. No matter what you say about Florida state they still have talent and they are getting closer to being the old fla state every year.

This was such a special season for Ga Tech, and beating LSU would put the icing on the cake…

LSU is the most important by far. I am among those who’s entire year was made by the UGA win and who stormed the field during FSU, but if we beat LSU, it is a validation of our entire amazing season on a national stage bigger than the Miami game.

Murmurs are already stirring among the talking heads and pundits that Tech will become the ACC’s next elite (top 10) team. If we lose the Peach Bowl, flush those thoughts down the toilet.

The next game is the most important one.

Its definitely gotta be the UGA game. I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but allowing UGA to claim (along with us) the longest streak in this rivalry would have been mortifying. The historic nature of that win (esp. after halftime, when I experience what Georgia fans are really all about at Sanford) trumps any other win this season.

Tech’s 45-42 over UGA was the biggest. Now Tech has academic and athletic superiority. Bull Dawg nation has nothing. Not even the Bio-terror lab, which is going to Kansas.

Huh? wrote:

jabster, might it also have something to do with the fact that you have only beaten Georgia 4 times in the past 18 years? That’s not “streaky”. That’s domination pal.

Q.E.D.

The UGA game was most important because of the FUTURE. I saw the 1964 Tech-Georgia game when Dooley’s first team beat a strong (7-2) GT team in Athens 7-0. It set the tone for years to come. Our 45-42 victory this year did the same. Be very scared little dawgies!

Funny you could talk about the Miss State and Duke games without mentioning Jaybo Shaw.

KEN I know this is off topic but do you know what the story is with J. Evans the RB that left school before the season. Does he plan on returning?

I was just thinking how he would have been a perfect A-back with Jones.

I posted a comment yesterday and was thinking about how great the Florida State win was later. I was at all those close calls in the 90’s. Little Joe deserved a win with the way he played his senior year. I was reading all you other guys coments when I saw that LSU idiot’s comment. I wasn’t near as fired up over this game as I am now. Our high school offense is going blow thier cocky butts off. I just really hope Paul passes all over them too. Those where big words that lost to Bobby Petrino. Even Ga fans are admiting we have a coach now. One more Paul.

As a UGA Fan, I never said in my post that I was bitter about the loss to Tech. It’s a football game that none of us have control over because we are not on the field. What makes it a great game (Clean ol’ Fashion Hate), is that people from the GREAT STATE of GEORGIA can bash each other and still be friends and neighbors (and we all have friends & family who cheer for the other team (my Brother)).

All I was saying in my post was after 7 years, you finally have something to brag about. Congrats…….This Year!
