Don’t worry James. I’m sure you couldn’t get into Devry. Like most Dawg fans.

Andre had an offer under the old coaching staff…but NOT the current GT staff…he doesn’t fit with what our current coaches want in a lineman. Jeff needs to get his facts straight before coming up with misleading headlines like “Lovejoy tackle picks Auburn over Tech”. That just isn’t true.

Best of luck, Andre. You are a fine young man and I know you will do well at Auburn. You did your family proud! Congratulations to you all, and to the coaching staff.

You have earned the opportunity to move on to the next level and I, for one, wish you the very best.

The guy comes from a great school. This is a good sign for Auburn. Hugh Nall does a great job with linemen. Georgia is a great situation for Auburn. Even after Georgia has there pick in Atlanta and Georgia, Auburn and other schools have plenty of great players to choose from. Part of Auburn’s past success against Georgia is the fact that it means so much to them to go back and win in their home state.

Congrats to Auburn, should be a good pickup for them.

Bobby, don’t you see that as more of a problem for the teams we have in state? I’d love it if schools in surrounding states couldn’t get any Georgians because they were all committing to UGA, Tech, Southern and State (and hopefully other programs in years to come…Kennesaw? Valdosta?). I’m waiting for a time when Georgia is a true football state (not just a football fan state). And that’s why I advocate bandwagon/sidewalk fanship of only in-state schools. Although that’s tough when some Georgians live closer to D1 programs in bordering states than to the ones that represent their own university system. Maybe one day prospects and fans in the southern half of the state will have higher-profile options close to them instead of having to look at Auburn, Bama, FSU, or UF. Northern half of the state has no excuse, though, you better be a Dawg, a Jacket or NOTHING!

Hmm…upon second read of my post I seem like too much of an idealist. Or maybe I just hate Clemson fans…

Wreck’EmTech…upon first read of your post you sound like a jackass to me. You talk like Auburn, Bama, FSU, and UF are directional schools with no football history. Every one of the schools you listed are “higher profile” football schools than Tech has been in decades.

Calm down, Aubbie1. I’m not bashing the Tigers at all (I save my trash talk for gameday). Just saying it’d be nice if the ticket sales stayed in state. And I didn’t compare anyone to Tech, so your outburst was completely unsolicited. I mentioned Auburn and the other three schools only because they’re the programs everyone in South Georgia seems to pull for. All I was talking about is that I’d like to see a day when maybe Georgia Southern or Valdosta State sees that kind of love so we can stop sending our players across the state lines. I know it’s a pipe dream…which is why I said maybe I’m too much of an idealist. Go take a deep breath or something before you respond next time.

Wreck’Em, You just wish tickets sales would stay in state so that dump of a stadium would be more than half empty (or in your case half full) for your home games. Maybe they can sell some more value meals… er I mean ticket packages of the 4 Cokes, 4 hot dogs, and 4 seats for $20 for your joke of a home schedule this year.

I’m from SW Georgia and am a lifelong and diehard Dawg fan. I also see a buttload of Red and Black “G”s on the front of car bumpers.

good pickup for auburn, they needed to get a big time player from georgia, since the last few years alabama, florida, clemson to name a few have recruited better in georgia.

Tech has a stadium? Sorry. Can’t see it from I-75, which is less than 50 yards away.

Wow, why do you guys have to assume that just because my handle is Tech affiliated that I’m here to argue? My points were almost completely aside from my fanship of Tech. Yes, I root for Tech. Since some of you want to make this about Tech I’ll give you my honest opinion of our program.

I think we need an A.D. that understands the Atlanta market better, we need to recruit in-state players better, we need to have players that are happy with their fans and fans that are happy with their team. Learn the new system, win some games, win that last game of the season, win a bowl game on a field that’s NOT BLUE, sell some freakin’ tickets, decide which shade of yellow we wear (even though it SHOULD be old gold), and on and on and on. Yes, our stadium is small, but so is our school. Rivalry isn’t about comparison it’s about fun-filled hatred. I would never posit that Tech should be as big as UGA nor should it be as popular. Personally, I’ll be surprised if Tech is ever worthy of the same bandwagon-fan effect that a number of SEC programs command. But my earlier points simply put forth the notion that maybe we could take better control of the Atlanta market, GSU could be a new attraction for South Georgians when it gets to the Big East one day (hypothetical) and State or some other school could pick up the leftover players and fans. Of course, I don’t see UGA’s dominance of the state’s merchandising and ticket sales ever diminishing much,and I understand that Auburn, Bama, FSU and UF along with Clemson, Tennessee and others have fan bases here that will never die out totally. But maybe there could be a change in those embarrassingly high numbers even just a little if Tech improved and more GA schools jumped into the D-1A B-Sub mix. Take it for what it’s worth. Sorry if it sounds like an inferiority complex. Maybe it’s the years of watching my school get trashed by barking rednecks.

Congrats to Mr. Harris. Mario Fannin and Byron Isom are Lovejoy grads and were probably an influence on the kid’s decision. A kid that big could definitely get a shot on my offensive line…

Let’s not talk around it. Picking Paul Johnson was the best thing Georgia Tech could have done for UGA and Auburn. Tech’s offense will be full of kids who come from Wing-T high backgrounds, which we know are dwindling by the week.

Thanks Dan.
