I don’t know what the Tradeschoolers are complaining about. Watch the CSS replay. You can see the white stripes from the ball in the pile, lying between a Tech player and a UGA player. The ref is standing right next to Tony Taylor and he’s looking at the ball. He didn’t blow the whistle because he saw that the ball was still loose.

That play isn’t even close to making up for the Jasper Sanks non-fumble.

I’m with you Bill. I hope they get it handed to them by Wake Forest and then by West Virginia in the Gator Bowl.

Could you imagine if Coutu had never gotten hurt? A few kicks and a few extra points made against Vandy and UK and the Dawgs are 10-2. All things considered, this year could’ve been a lot worse. I’m excited about the future though. Stafford is only going to get better. I like the fact that Coach Richt has decided to try letting Coach Bobo call the plays. It’s not that I think he is more knowledgeable than Coach Richt, but the perspective from the booth offers a sizable advantage from that of a sideline view.

Man, you win the game and you are still cranky and bitter. I realize that you have nothing to live for after football season, but to whine about a band is rather pathetic. Georgia has a music major and their band still has to steal a fight song from Auburn. That is good to hear about the basketball team. I didn’t realize that Georgia still played basketball.

MR did the right thing! I also understand why we were so conservative on “O” to start the game. I posted on one of the blogs this week that it worked for MR and Coach Bowden why wouldn’t it work in Athens. I do believe that Bobo will designe an “O” that’ll make use of all of the talent we have and lets hang on because we’ll see things we haven’t seen from the Dawgs. CB is a pretty intense type of guy and when he played he was an attack,attack and hit’m again QB. Great move CMR!

JT is right about really missing Brandon Coutu, especially in the Vabderbilt and Kentucky games. I’m not ashamed about the Kentucky loss, actually. They are pretty good this year and have one of the best offenses in the SEC.

Stafford wasn’t ready until recently and all those turnovers just couldn’t be overcome. He’s ready now and Georgia is where I thought they would be now.

Yellowjacket, it is obvious to everybody you are a poor, whiney loser and this game hurts you. Good. I want it to hurt you.

I was never worried about losing to GT as long as Reggie was at QB. Aside from the actual win best part of that game was holding Calvin Johnson to 2 catches for 13 yards. He had made the crazy decision to go to GT instead of UGA. I truly feel the Dawgs would have had a national title by now. Think about it. A top flight WR. Great defense. NFL calibre QBs. Even this year a freshman Stafford is ten times better than a senior Reggie Ball.

We lost the game, but there is nobody on UGA’s team that “owns Calvin Johnson”. That is an absurd notion. How can a WR do anything when his QB sucks this bad? Even the best WR’s in the world can’t be 5 feet open all the time. And that’s what it takes for Reggie Ball to get the ball to anybody. The true test of that fact is, who will be playing on Sundays, Calvin Johnson, or Paul Oliver. CJ is going to be a top 5 pick in April. I’ve heard NOTHING about Oliver playing in the NFL. If you’re going to gloat over your win, at least stick to the facts, instead of making s h i t up about our best player. CJ can’t throw the ball to himself.

There are not enough stairs in Sanford for Taylor and Battle to run for that dive in the end zone stunt. Both showboating stunts (what with our lousy kick coverage) put the opponent in great field position (both scored). Richt has to stop that nonsense right away. Although I am pleased with another wins over the lowly Nats, the stupid lack of self control penalties (Daniel Inman, Quentin Moses and the previously mentioned Taylor) are concerning.

Bill: You saw the same game I saw with your list of pros and cons. And, #12, you hit the nail on the head about showboating and other dumb penalties - and the consequences. Great to win anytime, anywhere, against anybody. I’m not really sure I saw that much double coverage on Johnson, except that we had a safety ready to come over to help. Couldn’t have had an extra man to pressure Ball if we doubled, and we did have some coverage sacks. The other Johnson is just as good, and he didn’t hurt us either. Our DBs did a fine job.

I agree. While I am very happy about the Auburn and GT wins. They were very unexpected. Our team seems to showboat when they make the smallest of plays. Coach needs to remind our players to act like they have done it before. Not to mention all these UGA fans are a little too cocky on how good we really are. I haven’t forgotten the Vandy game or the Kentucky game. Lousy efforts. So we win a couple games and now Oliver is the greatest player ever. Please, chill out. You think if we had Calvin Johnson we would be in the national title game?!? Are you crazy?

Oliver and all the DB’s excellent game! Thank you. Some of my favorite plays included the other #89 Johnson running those sideline routes and getting pasted w/o a reception. That happen a couple of times.

Stafford. Poise. The kid didn’t even flinch. Took us 64 yards, ate the clock up and made it look easy. I knew we had won the game when it was left up to Reggie’s passing game.

Just one complaint about playcalling- Bobo- We must keep Southerland on the field (if he was sick-ok), we must stretch the field more often, and if it is 3rd and anything Inman cannot be out there!

The showboating started in the first game with Henderson fumbling going into the endzone and hasn’t stopped.

I hope Martinez will keep this intensity. It looked like that was lacking in that horrid stretch.

We have higher standards, Ralph, so of course we complain when our receivers drop balls they should catch. Calvin may have been one of the top four, but he was much more highly rated than the others.

jackets fan, we don’t have to make anything up about your best player. Calvin Johnson has never been a factor against Georgia, this year or the previous two. That is a fact. Did your professors at Tech not teach you to respect the empirical? You either didn’t go there or didn’t pay attention.

You also make an ignorant statement about Paul Oliver if you think he won’t be playing in the NFL. He’s a junior but highly rated.

Clough (GT Pres) was talking about GT using its engineering school to develop a nanotechnology jersey that could not be held and therefore not be tackled. That is just the epitomy of a tech fan.

I’m not sure UGA ever used true double coverage with Calvin.

What I saw was Oliver on him tight at the line knocking him around and staying with him short. Oliver had safety help over the top for deep routes. It worked well. And oliver made excellent plays in the endzone.

My som commented that in the slot UGA didn’t do anything different for him. That was a little scary.

Calvin is a great talent and it amazes me that after 3 years GT cannot get him the ball.

In short, Oliver and UGA has owned Calvin. 3 years and no impact in this game!

GT fans, I hate to tell you this but yes, Paul Oliver does own Calvin Johnson. Two back to back passes to Johnson in the endzone broken up solely by Oliver, several more elsewhere on the field and a sweet interception to wrap it up! Ball only overthrew Johnson twice when he was open, both of which went right threw his hands (and one of them was out of bounds anyway). Here is your fact stat - 2 catches for 13 yards (one yard less than last year) and no catches in the 2nd half. And by the way, Oliver played Johnson 1 on 1 for the majority of the night.

Also, I know this wasn’t nearly as good as when Ball forgot was down it was, but it was just as smart of him to keep the ball for himself and not pass to one of your 3 wide open receivers in the endzone, costing you a TD and most likely the game. Good job there.

I would like Calvin and Reggie to answer one question for me, though. How does it feel to go your entire college career without beating your arch rival?

Good luck with the remainder of your season. Personally I hope you lose out. God help you next year, too! I can hear the “Can Chan” chants now!

Oh, here we go again. The Nerds starting to appear on the Blog talking about other teams beating UGA, (UF)I guess I understand that because it will be some time before your team will beat the Dawgs!

Look at it however you want Tech. CJ, though an excellent receiver, has done absolutely nothing against UGA. A lot of it does have to do with Reggie and some of it has to do with Oliver, but for the most part it’s your coaches play calling ability or lack of. Everything was a deep pattern. No screens, no slants.

I have a lot of respect for Tech’s football team. It’s the lack of football knowledge the nerd fans have is what kills me. You folks are totally clueless. Face it you lost, again. Talk about Florida, Vandy and UK all you want, but the bottom line is that you lost to the Dawgs for the 6th straight year…. Feel it!

Rule #1 is YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE TEAM YOU ARE RUNNING SMACK AGAINST.

And I believe we laid 50+ ON YOU tween the hedges. Besides, I was running smack on Buzz’s well engineered clippers that broke after two swipes.

Also, I am not “talking big”. I am disappointed in this season, as many fans are, as this is probably the worst of the decade. But we still beat you guys. Where are all of your little friends that were on here running smack about CJ having Heisman like day and Reggie being the man this year.

Congrats to UGA for putting together a perfectly executed drive to end GA Tech’s hopes of having its best team in years beat the worst Dawgs team in years (on a pure W-L basis only).

With the end of the regular season, I would like to bid a special farewell to OT Daniel Inman. Let’s reflect on his fantastic career in the silver britches: countless meathead penalties that were pure poison to successful drives (he’ll take two this past Saturday, thank you), a host of extra-curricular bar fights and other “undisclosed violations of team policies” that rendered our already depleted offensive line a man short, and a knack for missed assignments. While you were probably better suited in Tallahasse or E. Carolina, I’m glad you decided to spice things up in Athens. No other player in recent memory has made me angrier as a spectator or forced me to say, “Wow. That dumba** penalty might actually cost us the game.” than you, #72.

Paul Oliver does own Calvin Johnson, he shut him down for the second year in a row. As far as PO playing on Sundays, that is a definate. Coming out of high school he was the number one DB in the country by Rivals. This was his first full year starting, and take a look at Mel Kiper’s page of underclassmen. Oliver could turn pro and be a first round pick according to Kiper, however if he comes back he could be a top 10 pick. Now get back to work and come fix my computer - Your boss

Stafford has had to run the offense this season while Tebow gets to play a few plays and Mustain gets pulled 1/2 way through the season after handing the ball off to one of the best backs in the country.

I will be the first to say that Tech is not all that great on the gridiron, but nor is Georgia. UGA is mediocre, and always will be. You have not won a national title since 1980, and there is not one in your near future. You just are not that good, nor are we (GT).

Reggie is too small and cannot get the ball to receivers and we know that. But you see, we are not in denial. You guys have holes in your offense and defense, and don’t deny it. USC, Michigan or Ohio State could take it to you any minute and blow you out of water big time.

The bottom line is, when GT has a good season, it makes UGA look worse, because GT combines academic rigor along with athletics, whereas UGA combines football with football (i.e. Caleb King)

Buzzmeister,

I don’t know how many times this has to be stated for you and the rest of the Trade Schooler’s to understand.

CONSENSUS MNC’s are all that matter

UGA has won 2, & Tech has NEVER won a consensus National Championship. If you’re going to keep counting these partial MNC’s from the 20’s, 50’s, & 1990, then UGA has 5 (1927, 1942, 1946, 1966, & 1980) to Tech’s 4.

Further, UGA now leads the series by around 20 games.

UGA has won more conference championships

UGA has won more games

UGA has been to more bowls

UGA has won more bowl games

UGA has won ALL the original MAJOR bowls, Tech has not

UGA has more top twenty five, top ten, & top 5 finishes than TECH

UGA has more Heisman Trophy Winners

UGA has had more All Americans

UGA has more players in the NFL currently & All-Time.

As to your insistence of continuing to bring up Florida, here’s the difference:

We lead the series with Florida 46-37-4, despite losing “15 of 17”. And as is the case with Tech, we’re also more accomplished than UF in every possible form of measurement as well.

Buzzmeister,

Get over it! You lost! AGAIN! Stop talking about the past(NC) and except that because of your inferior coaching and QB you failed the past two years to make Johnson a legitimate weapon against us. Regaurdless of who was covering him. The academic talk can stop- stop being a dork. Both are fine academic schools. You talk of how mediocore UGA is, but how many times in the last decade has Tech won more than 9 games, When was the last time they won a ACC title. Pleae compare that to UGA record over the same time. Also in a down year we still will win 9 games. Good luck in the “highly” anticipated ACC Championship Game of Wake vs. Tech. Sure Swafford had this game in his dreams when aligning this “Mega-Conference” up.

Buzzmeister- Your an idiot. Take the loss and move on. Ranting about National Titles only makes the Tech nation look more pathetic than it already is. By the way, Rueben “Convict” Houston is an excellent example of combining great academics with football. I heard he is finishing his degree at Alto State Pen.

Still at a loss as to how we ‘paid’ the acc refs to influence the game. Man, that is weak. I guess we also paid them to call a personal foul on Q Moses so Reggie would have a chance to throw that final interception after the gift first down. And, apparently, others feel that Paul Oliver owns Johnson, since Oliver is the SEC defensive player of the week. No great accomplishment to beat the jackettes, but it is a relief.

Response to: How many times do I have to state this

You are correct on the Florida vs. Georgia series; however, Florida still owns you hands down over the past 20 years and will continue to own you. You are only as good as your last report card, and you currently have a D

However, in terms of national titles, the AP was technically the only credible source for titles since 1936 and UGA still only has 1 and GT has 4. I am sure the AD dept. heads at UGA will be in contact with you soon to start painting some additional bogus years on Sanford “Trailer Trash” Stadium, for you sir are the expert. How about some more stats!! Please share!!

There is one sport that UGA holds alot of overall titles in: womens sports (15), and just in case you need an address to confirm: http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/champs_listing1.html Now that is something to be proud of (Gymdogs)!!

I realize you think the SEC owns everything, but you are wrong. The top 3 schools which hold more national titles in all sports are UCLA (99), Stanford and Southen Cal and yes, are (Pac 10), and not SEC.

You can spit stats all day long, but the bottom line is your football program is mediocre and will be that way for long time. By the way, UCLA leads the way with 99 total national titles in every sport, including mens (70)and womens (29). UGA failed to even crack the top-ten. Now go lick yourself UGA.

Buzzmeister, seriously man do you have a substance abuse problem. I don’t think you are thinking clearly. Georgia’s football program is mediocre. So mediocre is 60 wins in 6 years. Mediocre is 2 conference titles in 6 years. Mediocre is playing bowl games every year before new year’s. Mediocre is basically Georgia Tech’s football program. Bowl game wins and miracle wins over the Dawgs all vacated and wiped off the record books for cheating. There goes the glory days. It’s like they never happened. If you could only get Bobby Dodd back. Throw on some leather helmets and go for the national title. Or maybe play every game at historic Grant field. A stadium that spews excellence and tradition. A tradition of being empty. I’m sure academics are a main priority in Atlanta. I’m sure every player that attends is competent and capable of completing all regular academic requirements. Don’t kid yourself Buzzmeister. You say that Reggie Ball is too small. He wasn’t too small the rest of the season. There were several open receivers he just flat out missed Saturday. He is just a makeshift quarterback period. He talks too much. He will always be known for never beating the Dawgs. No matter what else he does, he never beat who really matters. HOW ‘BOUT THEM GEORGIA BULLDOGS!

A lot of dawg fans gave him a hard time before he even took a snap, then kept calling for him to be bench. How did he handle it.

I would like to start off by saying that I offer my sincere apologies for the “total ineptitude of some guy impersonating a quarterback for an NCAA top-20 ranked, ACC Championship contender, BCS Bowl-Bound football team like the Yellow Jackets.

Had we (Tech) fielded a legitimate signal caller (Quarterback - one who leads his football team in proper handling of the football, passing efficiency and the ability to throw the football into the end-zone for touchdowns to win the football game) I can assure you that the outcome of Saturday afternoon/evening would have been more enjoyable to fans of both teams.

But, due to a “Nimrod” under center, that was not to be the case for this year’s annual event. I am sure that each of you wanted to see how your illustrious Bulldogs, Dawgs, or whatever you’re calling them this week, could stack up against the Yellow Jackets football team with a legitimate signal caller. But sadly, this was not to be the case. And the football Gremlins spoiled a perfectly good football game by jumping up the butt of one (hum, 1, how symboliclly inappropriate) who shall remain nameless for his own personal safety along North Ave., Techwood & Bobby Dodd Drive - and anywhere else in Midtown!

Therefore, realizing that for you, the home-team, to not have had an opportunity to engage in a legitimate “Intrastate Rivalry”, and to be presented with an equally challenging opportunity to negate the obvious outcome and what should have occurred, I offer may sincere apologies to each of you and say “I’m sorry!”

And I promise you that 365 days from now, this football team shall grant you the opportunity you so optimistically dismiss, to have the opportunity to secumb to your intrastate rivals that “Shall” have a legitimate player under center!

But for now, again, I offer my sincerest apologies for Saturday’s game!!!!

We don’t count the ones that aren’t unanimous because we’re not sniveling losers clamoring for undue national recognition, i.e. Tech. And for all of Tech’s “academic rigors,” they are still rated as the 38 best institution/university in the country. Georgia? We check in at 60. My point? Neither is an Ivy League school, and neither is a junior college. That argument lost all validity in 1973 when Pepper Rodgers completely “Harrickized” the Tech athletic department.

Do you think Georgia’s dominance over Tech is only in Football? Since 2000, Tech is 0-3 at Bobby Dodd and 1-3 in Athens for a collective 1-6 against U[sic]GA, including the latest six game losing streak.

Surely we must be better in Basketball. Wrong. In Men’s Basketball, Tech is 2-4 against the Cesspool including a 2-1 record in Atlanta and a 0-3 record in Athens. In women’s basketball, we are 2-4 against Georgia as well. We have split the only home and away cycle since 2000 with both teams winning their home game, but we were also 1-3 on the neutral court.

Well, I guess there is always baseball to look at. Since 2000, the beesball team is 12-14, but that includes a stretch in 2002 where the team won all five games against the puppies. We are 7-6 at home, 4-5 on the road and 1-3 at neutral sites.

Our softball team has been pretty good, so there must be some success there.

Since 2000, the girls have only combined for a 5-11 record against the puppies. This includes a 3-4 mark at home and a 2-7 record in Athens.

Our Tennis teams have been decent recently, there probably is a little bit of success there. Wrong yet again. The men’s team is 0-7 against U[sic]Ga losing all three home games and four in Athens. The women’s team hasn’t faired much better. They are only 1-4 against the puppies in the same time frame, including a 1-3 mark at home and a 1-1 mark on the road.

Have we had the upper hand in any sport? The only sport that I could find where we have had the upper hand was Volleyball. The Volleybees are 7-1 against U[sic]GA including a 4-0 mark at O’Keefe.

As a school, Tech is 18-20 at home, 11-25 in Athens and 2-6 at neutral sites among the sports listed. That combines to a 31-51 record since 2000. I didn’t look at swimming, cross country/track or golf statistics because of the nature of the sports.

I guess if UGA was as one dimensional as teck is, I would expect more losses. Teck, being fortunate enough to play in the ACC was able to overcome, something was glaringly obvious in Athens.

To: Buzzmeister

Nice game, and congrats to the Dogs. Well played, however the National Title Scores still stands at:

GT 4 UGA 1

Championships are what matter most, and we still hold the lead in this state.

Dog fans need to calm down, UF is still on your schedule next year, and you will have 2-3 losses next year, just like this year. Go Dogs!

Buzzmeister as usual you happen to be wrong, I’ve been reading on these blogs all year about National Championships. As for next year only God knows what will happen and stating we will have 2-3 loses is your opinion.

The official word from the NCAA (www.ncaa.com)is they don’t sponsor NCAA Championships in Division 1A for football. This now falls under the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and prior to this year there were various organizations such as the Associated Press (AP), United Press International (UPI) also known as the Coaches Poll, Berryman, FACT, Poling, Boand, National Championship Foundation, NY Times, INS, Williamson, Helms, DeVold, Houlgate, Dunkel, Litkenhaus, Sporting News, NFF, FB News, and Billingsley that named their National Champion each year since approximately the 1870’s. In going to the official site of the NCAA (www.ncaa.com) and clicking on the BCS link you will note that both schools have been named National Champions by at least one of these services on 5 occasions as follows:

Georgia Georgia Tech 1980- 11 polls 1990- 4 polls* 1968- 1 poll 1956- 1 poll 1946- 1 poll 1952- 3 polls 1942- 6 polls 1951- 2 polls 1927- 2 polls 1917- 2 polls *- UPI only Both schools have a long, distinguished and rich tradition of Championships in Football. But to throw out unsubstaniated information as fact is ridiculous. And by the way if you talk about AP and UPI being the only polling services that matter then Georgia has the only undisputed NC in 1980 as GT’s in 1990 was a spilt Championship as Tech was named by UPI and Colorado was named by AP.

As for Tech, as someone who pulls for Tech except when they are playing Georgia I can tell you and all the other Tech Fans on these Blogs to stop critizing the team and its players for there is an ACC Championship game this Saturday and they don’t need all the negativity. Please remember that there is a Championship to be won and a BCS Bowl game with a chance to go 11-3 and if my memory serves me correctly Tech has only won 11 games in a season once before and that was 1990 when they won a share of the National Championship with Colorado. So go Yellow Jackets

Tennessee makes the Dawgs pass defense look like a AA high school team (as did Colorado for that matter), but Georgia surrenders something like 80 yds COMBINED in the air to Auburn and Tech, both top-25 teams. Who can figure this out…

Bibble the answer to you question is pressure on the quarterback and defensive scheme. In the Colorado and Tennessee games there was no pressure on the quarterback. They played zone the whole game and the defense was on the field way too much as the offense failed to sustain drives especially the second half of the Tennessee game. In the Auburn, South Carolina and GT games we put pressure on the QB, the Offense moved the ball with some consistency and we kept switching defensive schemes.

Buzzmeister lets try this again as the previous post was not posted correctly.

The official word from the NCAA (www.ncaa.com)is they don’t sponsor NCAA Championships in Division 1A for football. This now falls under the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and prior to this year there were various organizations such as the Associated Press (AP), United Press International (UPI) also known as the Coaches Poll, Berryman, FACT, Poling, Boand, National Championship Foundation, NY Times, INS, Williamson, Helms, DeVold, Houlgate, Dunkel, Litkenhaus, Sporting News, NFF, FB News, and Billingsley that named their National Champion each year since approximately the 1870’s. In going to the official site of the NCAA (www.ncaa.com) and clicking on the BCS link you will note that both schools have been named National Champions by at least one of these services on 5 occasions as follows:

Georgia 1980- 11 polls i.e. AP, UPI,Berryman, FACT, FB News, FW, Helms, National Championship Foundation (NCF), NFF, Poling, and Sporting News, 1968- 1 poll (Litkenhaus), 1946- 1 poll (Williamson), 1942- 6 polls i.e. Berryman, DeVold, Houlgate, Litkenhaus, Poling, Williamson, 1927- 2 polls (Boand, Poling)

GT 1990- 4 polls* i.e. UPI, Dunkel, FACT, National Championship Foundation, 1956- 1 poll (Berryman), 1952- 3 polls (Berryman, INS, Poling), 1951- 2 polls (Berryman, Boand), 1917- 4 polls i.e. Billingsley, Helms, Houlgate, National Championship Foundation * UPI only

Both schools have a long, distinguished and rich tradition of Championships in Football. But to throw out unsubstaniated information as fact is ridiculous. And by the way if you talk about AP and UPI being the only polling services that matter then Georgia has the only undisputed NC in 1980 as GT’s in 1990 was a spilt Championship as Tech was named by UPI and Colorado was named by AP.

Osama Bin BuzzI got to thinking about your comments. I won’t be responding to anymore of your witty sly remarks, punk. You see this isn’t about football or even schools; it goes much deeper than that. You crossed a fine line. It’s about this trivializing the war the USA is in case you didn’t know we were in one. It’s about dishonoring the 2000plus men and women who have died in Iraq fighting this terrorism. It’s about stepping on my military toes which I served four proud and honorable years in, it’s about 2 of my Uncles I never got to know, and many others who died in WWII so you can take for granted the freedoms you obviously do. It’s about all the people serving currently fighting the battle over there that you find so humorous to joke about over here. It’s about making light of the 3000 innocent people, their family and friends who lost there lives five years ago.

I’m not going to talk smack or eat any crow for you boy. I’m just going to tell you, when you get enough liquid courage in your system next year in Atlanta, I’ll be more than happy enough to let you know where this “dork” is tailgating so you can get right in my face and call me or my school terrorist, OK.

I am amazed that the tech fans find satisfaction enough to be pacified by Georgias performance the last fifteen years against Florida after talking so much trash before the Auburn and Tech games. You guys may be brainy but you dont know s** about football or when to keep your lips from making fools out of yourselves. Yes it was the Tech fans who said we hadnt played anybody and look what South Caro. does to Clemson. You all said we would lose out and you would kick our butts this year. Nice Try!!! You were having a good year (in a dreadful year for the conference i.e. FSU, MIAMI,) but instead of acting like youd been there before you had to sing, make fun of Kentucky and Vandy ,but both of them could probably beat you -This Year- much less Post Calvin. Win close to sixty games in six years before you try to elect Gay lee Governor. Sonnys the man. Channel your gridiron stupidity and hatred towards Ga and try to beat the Wakes and Marylands since they are such powerhouses. Wonder what your record would be the last fifteen years against the Gators after looking at what the awful program at UGA has done to you. Get ready to stop an offense that is about to be top notch as recievers commit to come play with that Texan with a gun. Caleb is gonna run away from you as Moreno jams it down your throat. Brannan Southerland will knock the breath out of your linebackers for two more years. Better seasons are in the Dawgs future. Next year dont run your mouths and beat your wings off until you can turn this tide. I think Choice is a great player . Next year we will have four fullbacks and five tailbacks And Four QBs that could start for Tech. Best of luck trash talking bloggers . Hide behind your computers , and try to sleep through that recurrring dream of us picking you off in that potential tying drive. Groundhog day again. You talked but couldnt produce.

Hey Big Dawg, it seems like you are attacking G-Tech, but for now, let’s go without comparison to GT.

Most at G-Tech admit their football program is average, or below average, but you see that is where the difference lies; UGA never admits they are average, which you are and always will be.

However, if you want to talk stats, let’s bring up Oklahoma, USC, Notre Dame, Miami or Alabama in terms of titles or class. These programs are light years of your program in terms of championships and class. Matter of fact, I highly suspect if you take a poll of every fan in the SEC football system when rating the school with the most ignorant football fans, UGA will lead the way. Bend, and twist the historical data when you get it just the way you want it. Love it!

You guys love to relic in the past about Charlie Trippi, Fran Tarkenton and even Buck Belue, but you basically cannot run with big dogs and never will.

Face the music, it is over. Matter of fact, it appears to DC is out the door to FIU. Good luck finding a replacement willing to put up with the redbeck mentality in Athens, and I suspect that is why your DC is out the door.

If that means Georgia is “average,” than I’d love to know how you would classify Tech’s success in football. And your original assessment of “average” won’t cut it. I was thinking more along the lines of “pathetic.” Oh, and you still haven’t beaten Georgia in the last 16 years. I love it! Of the ‘98-‘00 “wins” that the bugs had to forfeit to us, two were won on botched calls (or non-calls) and all three were “won” with illiterate morons like Joe Burns and Joe Hamilton.

Richt had the Dawgs finish in the top 10 four of his six years on campus. How many times has TN finished in the top 10 this decade?

Dogs Suck:

Thank you! That was the funniest post from a Dawg Basher I have ever seen. You reference some top notch programs in your post.

During the past six years (the Richt era) UGA has more wins than AL and Notre Dame. It isn’t even close.

Georgia has a few more wins than Miami during this span.

Georgia has about the same amount of wins at Oklahoma (I think they have us by one or two)

USC has won more games than UGA. They have had some very good teams, but they play in a very weak conference. There is just no way to deny that. They would hold their own no matter where they played because they have dominated recruiting and have good coaches. I tip my hat to their accomplishments.

So, only one of the schools you mentioned really bests UGA from a number of wins standpoint. Winning is a pretty good measure of a program over a six year span.

UGA was average during most of Goff’s tenure… way way back in the early 90’s. Goff did get Georgia to a #8 final ranking in 1992, but if you want you can think of UGA circa 1991-1996 as average if it makes you feel better.

Vance and Blaes bring college experience to a thin lineup that is about to get thinner. We could stop now and still end up with the best OL class in the nation hands down.

Now that the Tech game is history, it looks like this blog has returned to normal, with the Jacket fans diving back into the closet. Most of the late arriving Bee Bums we’ve seen the past few weeks have disappeared, while the familiar anonymous Dawg-bashers simultaneously reemerge.

General Neyland, if that is really you, I’m afraid ‘zoo and I-DOG have you nailed. We’re lucky not to be 5-7? Heck, Florida is a couple plays from being 5-7 for that matter, but players play on and quitters, well…..you know.

Buck, I’m a partly cloudy kinda guy, but enough about my mental problems! I said earlier in the year that we were an injury or 2 across the front from disaster, and those guys were forced to play entire games without a break and held up well under the circumstances. But alas, Inman’s head didn’t hold up and the fatigue caught up to us.

Your boy grew up alot the last 2 games, eliminating the picks and showing glimpses of his enormous potential. The much-maligned receivers had a big hand (no pun intended) in that success too. The future looks bright, and the young men in the trenches will determine our fate. I can see us back in Atlanta for years to come, and I’m not talking about the Peach Bowl. Whoa! Thats a Blue Sky!

The fact is that UGA won an ugly game 15-12. UGA benefitted severely from what seemed to be a missing whistle on the Reggie Ball fumble. If not for that fumble, the GT defense probably pitches a shutout. That being said, Ball should have held onto the ball and there would be no controversy.

GT fans can move forward and defeat WF and move towards an Orange Bowl showdown with the likes of Louisville or perhaps LSU. Defeat WF and Gt fans can hold their heads up as having the better season that UGA, if that really matters to anybody.

Regarding the GT?UGA game, neither team really has anything to brag about, it really was a bad football game. i know that while GT was still up 1207, bragging was not on my mind, just finishing the dud of a game that it was and moving towards the ACCCG.

Like many UGA fans have been prone to say about Florida, Auburn and the SEC, as a GT fan I much prefer winning the conference and moving towards the Orange Bowl over defeating UGA, it’s not that big of a deal anymore. The Clemson defeat is what still bugs me about this season. In-state rivalry games are up for grabs more times than not.

I think we have all been way to hard on Martinez. To me this years defense is not any different than the past 6 years. They have been far more consistently great than the offense under Richt. Games that we have put up serious points the defense created turnovers and put the offense in great field position. Games we have given up a lot of points has been due to turnovers and to many 3 and outs from the offense.

In honor of one of Georgia Tech’s most famous alumni, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, I would like to present the premiere of my new one-man show, You Might Be a Georgia Tech Fan If …

If you sneak onto UGA message boards impersonating a fan of a team that actually did beat Georgia because your own team didn’t … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you’re reduced to coming up with woulda-coulda-shouldas like “You guys coulda been 5-7” or “If that hadn’t been a fumble we woulda shut you out” … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If your expectations of your own team are so low that your idea of trash-talking is, “You only beat us by 3? You should’ve beaten us by 30!” … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you have the nerve to whine about Tony Taylor’s scoop-and-score last week after what happened to Jasper Sanks in 1999 … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you still think anyone gives a rat’s behind about national titles that were won while Woodrow Wilson was president … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you make up fanciful tales about being the boss of numerous Georgia graduates, not realizing that the guy who owns your company is a Georgia grad … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you haven’t seen female genitalia in so long you wouldn’t be able to pick it out of a lineup … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

If you’re reading this in the computer lab at 1 a.m. on a Saturday while everyone else is out having fun and meeting girls … you might be a Georgia Tech fan.

Thanks, I’ll be here all night. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses.

I had it right all along. UGA fans talk about success every twenty years…hey this isn’t your down year…its your place….your down 20 years! Your team only fourished while the Vols and Gators floundered….that’s all. Peace out!

J-Train, as in the J-Train, from Stone Mountain. The same J-Train that was a top a recruit the never did shiza during his college career at TN. If winning 50 plus games in the last 5 years is a down period I will gladly take it. Shouldn’t you be doing dishes or something since you never graduated and didn’t make the NFL.

Ian Smith has been arrested again for underage drinking. He is supposed to be the Dawgs starting center next year. I hope Richt either gives him a 6 game suspension or kicks him off the team!

This is his second time. I believe in getting second chances but when you get busted at 3:30 am on a Wed. morning then let mom and dad foot the bill for not being dedicated to your team and education.

Tech-you’re right, we bought the refs! It wasn’t the p** poor play of your QB for the 4th year in a row. Or the fact that your start player had 2 catches for 13 yards. Seriously, you hung your hopes on a QB who threw it away on 4th down!! I seem to remember some no calls going ya’lls way too! The fact that he could become the winningest QB at Tech is a disgrace. He isn’t half the QB Joe Hamilton was! Face it ya’ll have yourselves a Quincy Carter and you’ll be glad to see him go just like every dawgs fan was glad when Quinthy left!!

Wasn’t Ian Smith just suspended for a couple of games? signs of a mis-spent youth but I was on Ag Hill at that age and things were a lot different then. I started posting to send him home but I stoped and posted this, because I want to give it a little thounght. My car was so well trained that it would drive me home from Allen’s all by it’s self. Got to know more.( it was a “stick”.)

Things were different then. I was told of course, that sometimes the police would pick you up and take you to the Clark County “free hostel” for students. the next morning Dean Tate would visit the “hostel” have a little chat and if wasn’t driving badly or taking swings at people, hhe’d send you back to class. So more info is what I need.

Great Pumpkin apologist, you got lucky as hell that we fell asleep in the 2nd half after mauling you in the 1st. Fake UT will not win more than 3 of the next 10 against the Dawgs, especially with Jim Bob Cooter gone(talk about a mascot!) Also “Daddy”, since you’ve been released the sheep in town have all been alerted as required by law with offenders as yourself.

Nice comment, but GT has a national title much fresher than your sorry a* title in 1980. VT will take your a* to the woodshed, and cannot wait to see it. Welcome to the ACC your candyass rednecks.

Welcome to the ACC????!!!!

Just what was that last week, a tuneup for the title game??!! Can’t get much fresher than that! If ya can’t run with the Big Dawgs, stay in that porch of a stadium you got! Speaking of that “porch” I heard Bobby Dodd Stadium’s name has been changed to Pluto’s Pound, since its been downgraded to a dwarf, and taken over by Dawgs!

If your pocket protector is overrunning with chewing tobacco, “your candyass” just might be a Tech redneck!

And twenty bucks says you come on here trash-talking with a handle like “gobblegobble” or “#1HokieFan.” ‘Cause that’s what you guys do. But does living vicariously through other teams really salve the pain of knowing your own team couldn’t beat the Dawgs if their lives depended on it? I’m gonna go with “no.”

Alltell Stadium holds 72,000 fans. The papers indicate “More than 15,000 tickets sold by Tech” (16,000?)and a “hope” that Wake Forest will sell their 10,000 (if so total = 26,000). So how can they report they’re 10,000 short of a sellout? Who picked up the other 36,000 tickets?

I know Jacksonville has a problem with homeless people, but do you think they really care to see the ACC championship?

Well, my problem with the UGA fans is they don’t know how to lose or how to win, and beating a team with a half a— QB is not that a big a deal. Florida has Tebo and Tennessee has Ainge. So, South Carolina has Spurrier and UGA wants only to bash a GT QB, who can’t pass, or call a game, hope you guys don’t bash Stafford, when he begins to struggle cus we know you will, the UGA fans are a joke.

Hi my name is Stu and I am jealous. I wish I was Georgia fan. I wish my team had a future. I wish we had Matt Stafford who is going to be an awesome quarterback. But we do have Taylor Bennett. Oh that doesen’t make me feel any better. Is it still to late for me to change my allegiance? I really need something to look forward to. Tech football and Star Wars are all I have. Please help me.

Hey Dawg Fans,

Virginia Tech is selling student tix on their website on Thursday. You won’t need a student ID to get in the game all you have to do is register on their website with your email address. Good luck!
