That’s because Auburn and FLA are UGA’s true rivals. Tech is just that annoying little brother that keeps saying, come on, let’s play again until you finally let him win one so you can go to bed.

I think it means a lot in that, unlike a lot of those other rivalries, we have to see each other almost every day of the year. The rivalry splits offices, and often families, into factions. I think the Tech program is back to where it was in the late 90’s (hopefully even better). The UGA program is definitely strong—even with this down year. I think you’ll start to see this game matter tremendously in years to come.

Wow, Carter, if you are a UGA grad as I have read elsewhere, then the mindset must really have changed with younger grads in the past ten years or so. Now me, I’m class of 1981. To me and those around my age, as well as alumni older than myself, this still ranks as one of the all-time classic rivalries. Bill Cromartie didn’t call it “Clean, Old Fashioned Hate” for nothing. Ask Furman Bisher about this. It may not mean much on the national scene any more, but it still counts for bragging rights, and that means a heck of a lot. Yeah, we say “to hell with (fill in the blank)” now for most of our rivals when we sing “Glory, Glory,” but it’s still so much sweeter to sing the original “AND TO HELL WITH GEORGIA TECH!” GO DAWGS!

Once again, I don’t think the the topic of this blog was well thought out. Of course it doesn’t register nationally—does Tennessee/Vandy mean anything to anyone outside of the state of Tennessee? Tech is not and has not been a consistent winner in football and therefore, from a national perspective, there is no rivalry. We have already discussed what it means to the fans and players of both teams.

Here’s a topic Carter: Does Mark Richt’s religious beliefs hinder or help him as a coach? How do recruits respond? How do players past and present feel about him being an Evangelical? How do Alumni feel about that? I would love to hear from Musa Smith now that he is out of Richt’s system what it was like for him being a part of the 2002 team. Would he have come to Georgia if Richt was the head coach when he was recruited?

Perhaps, it doesn’t effect his coaching style at all. I think maybe it does. I watched the game on t.v. Saturday and heard Coach Richt say that while the win against Auburn was great, because of his faith, he was okay with the losing too. How do y’all feel about that? Just wondering….

kind of a silly premise for an article, don’t you think?

National significance for a rivalry game is always defined by the rankings of one or both teams going into the game. Texas-Oklahoma, Georgia-Auburn, etc….those games typically mean more in terms of the national spotlight, because most of the teams involved have been ranked pretty high in the past several years.

But that doesn’t mean that this isn’t an important game for UGA or Tech. Bragging rights within your home state are no minor thing. Ask FSU or Miami whether this year’s win meant less to them than in years past. Or tell me that FSU isn’t going to be just as excited this year to try to beat UF as they’ve been in most every other year. Bragging rights are HUGE for college football, especially with in-state rivals.

Come on, Carter. I know you have deadlines for these blogs, but you should know better than to come at us with this waste.

I know it is a rivalry and that it will be a good, tough game. It typically is, year in and year out. But, that’s what these games are for (the jokes and whatnot). But, Ga Tech doesn’t have a win against UGA in, what 16 years, right? I mean, since the NCAA took all Ga Tech’s wins away for cheating. Other than that, it still has been 5. Thus, a rather lopsided recent history.

Carter you managed to post another idiotic topic. We’re GEORGIA fans. We DON’T CARE about national significance. To us EVERY game is significant. Tech is special to us. They are such nerds, geeks, whiners and losers that it is embarassing and humiliating to lose to them although, thankfully, it rarely happens.

Take this picture of Ramble ON! for instance. How would you like to go a WHOLE YEAR listening to his crap if Tech won the game. Please CMR. Give us a break. Beat these bugs. Beat them bad.

In reponse to “letsdiscuss”, I believe you may have taken coach Richt’s statement out of context Saturday. He actually said that win or lose he would praise the Lord. That means more to more to me than the score or what stats are reported in the paper the next morning. Georgia, we have a real man of character leading our football team and I believe it can only help us in recruiting.

Since Tech left the SEC after the ‘64 season, this game has gradually gone from REALLY important to only somewhat important. Prior to ‘64, the game could decide the SEC champion. No more. Therefore, the TECH-GA game is not viewed by most GA fans as significant as GA-FL, AU, or TENN. Those games DO determine the kind of season the ‘Dogs will ultimately have. I do think both sets of fans consider it important, but for different reasons. Plus, it’s never desireable to end a season on a losing note. I only wish TECH was still in the SEC where they belong. Why doesn’t someone do a story on why TECH decided to get out of the SEC?? No question in my mind Coach Dodd lived to rue the day he promoted the idea of leaving the SEC. No matter, it will be a wild game.

Born in Savannah, grew up in J’ville so the Reptile game has always meant more. Today, if Tech was in the SEC and another Division, the game would have a lot more meaning. As things are today, Georgia has nothing to gain and everything to lose. Tech’s not considered a football power so most people think we should win anyway. We never have a big jump in the polls when we win and that’s more important than ever and if we lose it could knock ue right out of a possible chance to play for the NC.

Ben, That’s great that Coach Richt’s statement of faith means more to you than stats and winning records do. I am just wondering how the players and possible players feel about it and how “non-believers” feel about it. I am not saying it isn’t great that he is a man of character, I am just wondering how most people feel about the fact that he appears to put his faith above everything else. Is that a good coaching strategy? How does that play outside of the South? Surely there is talent outside of the South that would be welcome at Georgia regardless of what religion (if any) they practice. Do recruits feel that they would be welcome? That’s what I am wondering. Does Coach Richt have a killer instinct? Just asking…

OK one of you moron’s on here went under cover as ramblerambleramble who at 3:22 said he was going to play a round of golf, after he called me an idiot. Now, I’m sure he wants us to believe he has a house at County Club of the South, and is going to stroll out to his back yard and start hacking away with his GT caddie right behind him. Common sense tells me, (if I were to scratch my head about this) can anyone play a round of Golf in 2 hours? (benefit of the doubt, because right now its 5:36 and it’s completely black outside). This is assuming of course, your GT caddie was waiting at the tea box with club in hand. I would have thought this may have been Odell, after smoking one to many hits, but he said some things that lead me to believe he has the equivalent of a high school education.

Now godawg wants some, NO WAIT, you are godawg!!!! Ahhh makes sense now.

The thing is, no matter how good either team is, UGA always downplays the rivalry. For UGA fans, it’s more important that we beat Florida, Tennessee, and Auburn. Most of us don’t even talk trash to Georgia Tech fans because, well, they’re Georgia Tech. You don’t see us talking smack to Georgia Southern or Vandy or whomever when we beat them either. The only reason this win is important is because the GT fans, who for years have kept to themselves, are going to be annoying as real yellow jackets if they did win. One person likened it to an older-younger brother relationship. I see it as the cool kids against the nerds - the cool kids mock the nerds, but have their own lives and the constant struggle to be cooler than the other cool kids taking priority. The nerds, however, have nothing better to do than envy and hate the cool kids.

I believe Tech got back all of those wins on an appeal to the NCAA. I might be wrong. I do however think it’s funny that some UGA fans will say this game does not matter or isn’t a rivalry simply because UGA has held a definate advantage in wins over the last few years. However, in the exact same breath they will say that UGA and FLA is a big rivalry. I wonder if Fla fans will begin saying that game isn’t a rivalry anymore since they seem to dominate the series in the last ten or fifteen years.

it’s not necessarily a national rivalry like osu and meechigan because rarely are both uga and yech ranked in the top ten simultaneously. in fact, i can’t remember the last time yech was even ranked.

anywho……….consistently high rankings from year to year increase the intensity of the game.

also, the big ten is the media darling of espn, and they drive this rivalry and hype it to make it bigger than it really is.

I come from three generations of Tech ball players - beginning with my great-grandfather who played under Heisman. This became a rivalry early on in the two school’s meetings because of their close proximity to each other. Later, when both were in the SEC, it was as bitter a rivalry as you could imagine. When Bobby Dodd pulled Tech from the SEC because he refused to lower the academic standards of his athletes - a very public withdrawl I might add - his stinging comments added more fuel to the fire. Now, it’s more or less about pride for both - unfortunately for me, my UGA neighbors have gotten the better end of that deal here lately. Yet, we still see the legacy of Dodd in the academic accomplishments of our athletes. It’s a trade off that many Tech alum - and I’m talking about former players here - feel was the right thing to do. It’s a tradition that we see again in again and will witness once more this year when Calvin Johnson elects to stay on for his senior year to finish his degree - that’s how much our academics mean to our athletes. We’re not an open admissions sports program. Things are especially sweet when our “nerdy” players beat the hell out of those damned dawgs from Athens …

Oh yes because you assume all UGA grads live in Georiga. No sir, I, like Buck in the NW, live way out west in a state whos fans are even more ignorant than the average tech fan. A fanbase that spouts off even more crap than techies.. I live in Boise where the average bronco fan makes you ramble on look like some kind of actual scholar. So you see, while my GT caddy comment was an embellishment for your enjoyment, my round of golf started at 1:30 local time, and before you go spouting off that I didnt have a enough time to get to a course, relax I live on the course and I play in my red and black golf cart. So now thats out of the way let me tell you, despite living far from home, I’m a loyal Dawg fan and have made it back to every homegame this year, along with the Auburn and Ole Miss games as well. I will be home again next weekend to watch you and the nerd troup get sent home with another loss to the dawgs. by the way Im not godawg and yes I called you out as an idiot, a strong word, one I dont use often, but you make yourself such an easy target.

Exclusive: Richt says all assistants staying

Mark Richt By Josh Kendall Dawg Post Reporter Posted Nov 14, 2006

ATHENS – Georgia coach Mark Richt will not fire any of his assistant coaches, he told Dawg Post Reporter Josh Kendall in an exclusive interview Tuesday.

“I want everybody to stay,” Richt said. He also contradicted an AJC.com report that said senior quarterback Joe Tereshinski might start on Nov. 25 against Georgia Tech because that game is the Bulldogs’ senior day.

Tereshinski will not start, and there is no plan to play him any differently than in any other game, Richt said.

“Senior Day means a lot around here, but so does winning,” he said. “I hadn’t really thought about that dynamic, getting so-and-so in the game.”

Although the Bulldogs turned around the tone of their season on Saturday by upsetting Auburn 37-15, the question of staff changes was broached after a span of four losses in five games. Defensive coordinator Willie Martinez was the most notable target of fans’ ire despite the fact that his defense is ranked second in the Southeastern Conference this season.

However, when asked if all nine of his on-field assistants will be staying another year unless one of them leaves on his own, he replied, “Yes.”

In fact, Richt credits the makeup of his staff with helping the Bulldogs (7-4, 4-4 SEC) survive their rough patch and rebound with the victory at Auburn.

“If you’re letting guys go every year, then it’s tough for those guys to stay unified if they’re thinking, ‘Well, coach may cut me loose, I better get out of here before the ax falls,’” he said. “It’s hard to stay loyal if you don’t feel like there’s loyalty from the top.”

Richt himself wonders why so much heat has fallen on his assistants.

“You’re probab ly looking at the second-best run in Georgia football (in the last four years)and a great majority of these coaches have been here through the whole thing,” he said. “If something as simple as keeping from turning the ball over means we win two or three more games, does that mean every guy here has done a horrible job or this guy here has done a horrible job? I just don’t see it that way.”

The only assistant coach fired by Richt was Tony Pierce who was let go in the middle of the 2002 season for off-field reasons, but Richt isn’t afraid to make a move, he said.

“Everybody has to be accountable,” he said. “Everybody has a job to do, we can’t become complacent. I’m not going to say I will never let an assistant go, but I’m not going to do it to relieve pressure from me.

Tech’s academic standard didn’t seem to matter in the recruitment of AT Barnes from Cartersville. He will be a freshman next year in football, but graduated (or was supposed to) in 05. At UGA they send partial qualifiers to Hargrave. At Tech they let them in school.

Of course it matters. The Dawgs don’t lose to the Yellow Jackets much but when they do you get to hear about it all year long. I don’t know about anyone else but I haven’t forgotten the three year losing streak — hasn’t been that long ago. Before Mark Richt came along the pundits were talking about how Tech had passed Georgia in football and were the dominant team in the state. UGA’s a rivalry rich program but you got to beat Tech!

The game rarely matters becasue Tech is rarely good. Simple. We beat Tech so often that it is hard to rank the game as a big rivalry. It’s like beating up your little brother. You know you can. You go through the motions and it gets done. Even if Tech wins this year (HA!) it will only be the 4th time since 1991. If the Dawgs play up to their ability like they did vs. Auburn then they have no chance. Dawgs 27, dorks 10. Better luck next year geeks.

But, he could not beat Tech. But he had Quincy Carter(choke boy) too. But make no mistake, Tech is Georgia’s biggest rival. Here is a hint for the Tech game—stay after Reggie and you win the game. He has not been able to handle the blitz in any Georgia game. Later ya’ll.

BlogPolice, when Carter posts insightful topics, I compliment him on them. But when he makes inane statements like, “…where the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry ranks…in terms of national significance.”, he’ll get called on it. I mean really, Tech is ranked just inside the top twenty and Georgia is not ranked at all. Why would he think any of us would consider that the game has “national significance”? Oh yeah, I forgot, he considers us all a bunch of uneducated rednecks from a podunk school in a podunk state. Where IS CUZ?

It sure is appealing to join in the sarcastic comments towards Carter and Tech fans I think my fellow dawg bloggers have done enough. In regards to the game though here are a couple of my own opinions: This is always a pretty emotional game with a few too many stupid penalties and a lot of trash talking. I think the team that can limit these stupid penalties will have the greatest chance. Keep your emotions in check. Momentum, momentum, momentum; same as Auburn. I think saying we need to shut down C.J should go unsaid. Hopefully we’ll watch a lot of the Clemson game. I missed the UNC game but judging by the score C.J. either didn’t play or was shut down. Lastly, make plays and limit turnovers. A lot of this sounds elemtary but we havn’t really done a lot of this other than the Auburn game. I believe the biggest will be stupid penalties (personal fouls, pass interference).

So, I guess this ‘Carter’ person is just another one of them carpet-baggin’, so-in-so, writers that seem to delight in throwing a bone out in the yard and watch the dawgs - and jackets, and tigers, and gators, and blue-tick hounds - fight over it.

No, the game seldom has national significance because seldom are both teams ranked - and since Georgia isn’t this year, maybe that means we won’t have to give ‘em points (Techie’s, unlike Dawgs, are never too embarrassed to ask for ‘em). Whatever the game has lost over the years started with Tech’s getting greedy all those years back when they pulled out of the SEC…and later when they limped back in through the ACC - primarily because of basketball - it hasn’t given the football game much gravitas.

At the same time, ask any Georgia fan, which one of our ‘rivals’ do you hate to lose to worse…you’ll get the same answer. It’s Tech…and not because of any rankings, or championships, or bowl implications…it’s because of all the ‘other guys’ we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, Techies are the ones that love to rub our noses in a loss more than any others. Just lose to ‘em once in a blue-moon and they won’t let you forget it, until you smack ‘em down the next year. They seem to delight in rubbing your nose in it more than any of the others - well, Florida’s arrogant fans may be right there with ‘em.

So, does this game matter, you’re damn right it matters, and always will. My daddy and granddaddy would spin is their graves at the thought of my deminishing Bill Cromartie’s ‘Clean Old Fashioned Hate’ in any way. They always would say that they weren’t prejudiced…they didn’t care who beat Tech…and I think that’s a pretty good way to look at it.

Of course it matters. It’s one of the great rivalries of the South. The only reason it doesn’t get the pub that the ones you mentioned do is because there has’t been a whole lot riding on this game in years past. There is nothing better than a UGA/Tech game where both teams are in the top 20. Electric.

To be a great rivalry, you need parity and competiveness and over the last few years UGA has been pretty dominating. I say the same about UGA and FL, it is in my mind not a great rivalry as FL has won 15/17 and many games have not really been great games. Right now, UGA/AUB is the best rivalry UGA has going. Games are usually competitive with something on the line and both teams win their fair share and play well in the others stadium. I would also rank UGA/SC pretty high because it is always a crucial early season game for UGA. On a national scale, I love Michigan/Ohio St., maybe the best rivalry all time.

Here’s the deal from a Redcoat Band Alum… Even though Tech is ranked and the Dawgs lost to the bottom-feeders in the SEC, everyone assumes UGA will beat Tech. Even those die-hard North Ave. fans know, in the back of their minds, that everyone thinks UGA will win. If UGA beats Tech this year, there won’t be a big huge deal made. Even though the Dawgs have had a pretty poor season, they just literally destroyed Auburn, so the expectation is set.

If Tech wins, it’ll be bigger Atlanta news than the Dems winning Congress, even if they blow the ACC Championship and somehow end up in Boise again.

And, as always… “Glory, Glory, to Ole Georgia… AND TO HELL WITH GEORGIA TECH!” GO DAWGS!!!

Regarding an earlier post, Mark Richt didn’t say he was OK with losing. The sideline TV guy asked a question about Richt’s faith in a flippant way that trivialized Richt’s faith, and Richt wouldn’t let the question pass without stating that his faith is more serious than just rejoicing in good times. He said that win or lose, his faith remains the same, that it doesn’t hinge on good things happening. That’s a far cry from how you’re interpreting his response.

First/Last time “blogger” here. To even suggest that Tech is not a rival is ridiculous. Granted, since Tech’s move to Indy>ACC, the significance of the game (conference-wise) has obviously diminished. Nevertheless, this is one of the most-storied rivalries in the South. I am young and was brought up in the age of Tennessee and South Carolina (what?) actually being considered a “rival.” What a joke. Those are conference opponents, but not “rivals” as defined by Websters or a real Georgia fan. We have three true rivals. Do I really have to write who they are? Florida, Auburn and Tech. Depending on your location in the state, you probably consider one of the three the biggest. I am from South Georgia, now living in Atlanta. For me, I hate each one with equal passion. It merely depends on the week in which you ask me. This week I hate Tech. GO YOU HAIRY, HAIRY DAWGS!!

If Tennessee loses one, as you wrote about, they will have the same record at Georgia, plus UT has the head to head, so why would UGA get the better bowl? Good to see you are using your powers of addition and subtraction.

By the way, where is UGA ranked? Oh, that’s right, you haven’t been in the rankings for a while now.

I see O.J. Simpson is in the news again. Why doesn’t UGA hire him as a Defensive Coordinator. He would bring a killer attitude, and help UGA gut other teams. O.J. could carve up opponents, and slice through offensive lines to the other quarterback. O.J. won a Heisman Trophy, and while he was a tailack his cut-to-the-bone style would really help UGA — unless he is still too busy looking for his wife’s killer.

57-36-5 The Record which UGA leads 12-6 Conference Championships (UGA leads, Tech has 5 SEC, 1 ACC) Georgia has won more games Georgia has a higher winning percentage Georgia has more Heisman Winners Georgia has had more All Americans Georgia has been invited to more bowls Georgia has won more bowls Georgia has finished in the top 10 more frequently Georgia has sent more players to the NFL

The game has a life of it’s own and nothing ESPN says or doesn’t say makes any difference. To simplify it, having braggin’ rights is “FUN!” Remember fun?
