Collins Hill junior Charles Perkins’ commitment to Georgia Tech is firm. But that fact hasn’t slowed Vanderbilt and Wake Forest from courting the 6-foot, 195-pound running back.
“After I committed to Tech [in February], I got offers from Vanderbilt and Wake Forest,” Perkins said. “They continue to recruit me, even though I’ve committed to Georgia Tech.
“They both call me and send e-mails. They’re also sending handwritten letters to say they’re still going to continue to recruit me.”
And he continues to receive letters from Georgia, Michigan, South Carolina, Stanford and Wisconsin.
Perkins will return to Tech’s campus on Friday for the first time since he committed to the Jackets. He’s scheduled to participate in an invitational track meet at Tech next weekend.
He’ll return to Tech later in the month to attend several of the Jackets’ spring practice sessions.
“[Tech assistant] coach [Jeff] Monken said he wants to get me down there to watch practice,” Perkins said.

Charles, don’t let CPJ bully you around. Go look at any school you want. Every other kid does. If Georgia Tech is insecure and doesn’t feel like its product speaks for itself, then drop them. Come to mighty Georgia where we win CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Poor Charles. Kid didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he committed to the scumbag Johnson. Dawg Mania is exactly right. This KID shouldn’t allow himself to be pushed around and bullied by an insecure coach that knows his shtty program and shtty facilities and sh*tty campus can’t sell themselves. So he has to threaten these children like an angry, sour old man,. This clown will be fired in 3 years, book it!!
LOL, hey Jackets, when’s the last time Tech has won the ACC outright??? They play in a joke of a conference and they can’t even seriously compete in it. And those 23 more wins we have against the douchebags seems like plenty of winning to me :)

Tech fans show their ignorance and stupidity on this blog daily, that’s why it’s so entertaining. Richt has beaten Johnson out of every recruit that they’ve both wanted. It’s actually Richt 27, Johnson 0. Hill was all Dawg til Richt called him the night before signing day and told him that UGA got the real receiver they wanted and he’d never see the field.
But keep telling yourselves lies nerds. It makes for good copy.

Scratcher,
You’ll notice that Tech’s claim to the ‘90 title is bogus for several reasons. You played a pitifully weak schedule. Not only did you play a high school team like Tenn-Chatt, but you played in the God awful ACC. We faced 3 conference champions, you faced none. You tied a horrible North Carolina team that wasn’t even bowl eligible. That’s the same thing as losing to them. Our only lose was against a solid Illinois team that was bowl eligible early in the season on the road bye one point. Your tie occurred much later in the season. We played in the Orange Bowl that actually still exist, while you played in a short-lived bowl that was a joke and complete failure. So please, spare us.

FACTS for 1990 Buffalo Chip:
1) Colorado lost a regular-season game to Illinois. 2) Colorado cheated to beat Missouri. 3) The Coaches Poll (aka, UPI Poll in 1990; USA Today Poll today) voted the undefeated Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets #1 in 1990. 4) That same Coaches Poll is used in BCS rankings in the here and now. The AP Poll is not. 5) As far as the BCS Championship Game is concerned, the poll that voted Colorado to its questionable share of the 1990 MNC no longer exists.
CONJECTURE for 1990 Buffalo Chip: 1) Paul Johnson will have Georgia Tech in a national championship game before Colorado.
You Tube Documention: Colorado Lies and Cheats
FL Dawg: Classy post. Looking forward to Good Ol’ Fashioned Hate garnering greater national attention as both of our programs advance. I know a lot of Dawgs and Jackets harbor only ill will to their in-state rivals, but I am not among them. If Coach Richt and CCoach Johnson can close the recruiting borders, our rivalry can ascend to a level similar to what Visor Boy and Dadgum did a decade ago: two in-state, Top 10 teams playing for national supremacy.
THAT is what the Saturday after Thanksgiving should be about.
Elliot: Those footsteps you hear? That’s not Tech catching up with you. That’s Roddy Jones leaving you behind as he takes another pitch to the house.
See you at The Flats this fall.

Uh, 1990, think again. You had the 5th down and a horrible/late/behind the play clipping call that saved the game for you. You also had a loss that year. We were undefeated. Otherwise, yeah, you’re right, everyone recognizes you as the national champs. YOu even have a controversy named after one of your games.
Does anyone else find it amusing that someone from the Big 12 North cracks on the ACC for being weak?

Since the other bases seem to have been covered fairly well concerning the Buff’s and their share of the 1990 title (the loss, the fifth down, and the phantom clipping call on The Rocket’s TD return), I have some more fodder for discussion. CO’s opponent in that particular Orange Bowl was Notre Dame. A team that time and time again is overrated and gets inflated bowl invitations because every catholic in this country is a Notre Dame fan. Notre Dame got the Orange Bowl bid because they travel better than Tech, not because they were a better team. Too bad we couldn’t have settled it on the field as it should have been. The next thing we need to discuss is the “short-lived bowl” Tech destroyed Nebraska (a team from the Big 12 North) in. It was called the Citrus Bowl. It changed to The Capital One Citrus Bowl, and was one of the first major (keep in mind, major pretty much means New Year’s Day, not BCS) bowls to drop the original name altogether in favor of the sponsor’s name: The Capital One Bowl. Ask a Georgia fan if their New Year’s Day victory over Michigan State didn’t take place because the bowl was “short-lived”.

Hey RealityYech, I don’t believe UGA seriously competed in the SEC last year. What was theit pre-season ranking and where did they end up, regionally, locally and nationally? Check it out and wait until next Nov. to predict scores. You surely know that you do not know who wins the game until the game is played. Even you are not dumb enough to claim you can do that.

Let’s see, UGA had just as many wins in the far superior SEC as the tools did in the weakest BCS conference in America. UGA finished 3rd in the best conference, while the scumbags finished where exactly?
UGA finished as a top 10 team yet again. I seem to remember Tech finishing far behind.

Colorado Loses & Cheats is clearly just bitter with the AP since they’ve never voted for the Bees to be number one. But as usual, according to his flawed Tech logic he should admit that Tech really didn’t win their 1952 title that they claim as well. Since his beloved Coaches Poll, along with the AP, both had Tech finishing second behind Michigan St. This is one of many reasons Tech is one of the most shameless and hated programs in in CFB. They claim finishing second as being a National Champion. Pathetic.

Actually, the flawed premise about MNCs was presented by “1990BuffaloChips” regarding what was and wasn’t considered a MNC title in 1990.
In her post alleging Colorado to be the 1990 champion, she fallaciously claimed the title to be solely CU’s.
All “Colorado Loses & Cheats” pointed out were facts to the contrary. At no time did “Colorado Loses & Cheats” ever claim that GT warranted sole possession of the 1990 title.
The difference here, you wonderfully ignorant mutt, is that “1990BuffaloChips” didn’t want to recognize a shared national championship. She got called out on that by “Colorado Loses & Cheats.”
Nothing wrong with a shared MNC. Nothing wrong with the AP poll or the Coaches Poll. Tech still has more MNCs than the mutts.
BTW, you really need to learn a lesson from FL Dawg. Perhaps some day, after you have been properly crate-trained, you will be allowed to run with the big dawgs. But not today.
For now, feel free to continue with your futile attempts to nip and yap away …

I had no idea that BOTH the AP AND the Coach’s Poll had declared Michigan St. the champion that year. And he was all trying to make like the Coach’s Poll is the end all authority on the matter. In typical Tech fashion I’m sure he has a perfect excuse as to why their OPINION in ‘52 is wrong, but in ‘90 100% correct. So f’n sad!!!
What’s that, the second title that Tech has wrongfully tried to claim as theirs? What a sad, sad school and fan base. You have to pity them really. That’s just embarrassing.

What’s really pathetic is the FACT that you got called out as a hypocritical liar on all your handles. I don’t see any “made up” facts, just FACTS.
On your one handle you try and argue that the Coaches’ Poll is the final say on who’s number 1 or not, but when someone stated the FACT that in 1952 (yet another title Tech didn’t win) the AP and the Coaches Poll both voted Tech number 2, NOT number 1, you got your panties in a wad.
But if you can produce something that says otherwise then please do, but if not then STFU and take your medicine, liar.

The only people that claim the 1990, and especially the 1952, titles for Tech are their own fans. For Tech to claim the 1990 title is like USC claiming the 2003 championship. Colorado had 22 outlets declare them champ, Tech had 17.
And the 1952 claim is just ridiculous. Both the AP and Coaches Poll declared Michigan St. the number one team. State had 26 total outlets in their favor while Tech had a measly 15.
Yes, Tech is the worst program in the country at claiming titles that aren’t theirs.

Sure there are those that lay claim to questionable championships within the fan base of GT. As a dawg fan, you’ll NEVER respect any accomplishments that Tech has. Hell, uga won’t acknowlege the wins Tech got against them during WWll! Do you spend your entire time keeping up with ALL the other programs in the country and their attitudes towards championships?! Count up all the NC’s and Tech STILL beats your little pups! Under the present regimes….Tech is 100% in victories NOW. You’re a very unhappy person and i believe you could use a hug!

Speaking of Tech’s 1917 title macro, and their “wins” against UGA’s club team since they actually did the right, patriotic thing and suspended their men’s athletic teams so they may bravely go fight in the war, the ‘17 title might be the most shameless of all of Tech’s false claims.
Not only did UGA not have a football team for couple of years during the war, but numerous schools all across the country suspended their men’s athletics during this same era. But guess who didn’t….Tech. Tech hid behind the fact that the military was using their campus as a base and managed to keep their entire team intact, while other schools did the right thing and took time off to go fight for their country, something Tech did not. Thousands of vets were ashamed and angered at Tech’s pathetic, unpatriotic conduct and have never forgiven them even to this day.
So yes, laying claim to wins over club teams made up of those few that didn’t fight, against the entire original football team of one school is downright despicable. Taking advantage of those schools that were willing to sacrifice is disgusting.
And by the way Einstein, the games you thought you knew you were referring to took place during WWI, not WWII like you probably heard from some other ignorant, uninformed, disgraced, angered Tech hack that doesn’t know what he’s talking about just as much as you.

ryan and macrotech,
You guys are actually solidifying U&G’s comments even more I believe. He obviously confused his eras, but his comments are completely true.
Through 1917-24 a lot of schools did in fact dismantle their sports teams, including UGA, which conveniently Tech won the NC in ‘17 during their absence.
And his comments about Tech’s methods are actually a welcomed spin to what really happened in ‘43 and ‘44. Tech used guys that weren’t even students at Tech, but rather at the officer training center that was based on their campus. They had football captains from Bama and Vandy playing for them for crying out loud.
Great insight U&G and great points. You are absolutely correct that Tech is well known for claiming others titles and for flatout cheating.

WHAT A MORON: Just when you think one UGA dimwit has taken stupidity to a new level, another one (you in this case) breaks the record. Tech was the ONLY (get it, only) undefeated team in 1990. Nebraska begged for mercy as Tech pounded them in the Citrus Bowl. Colorado lost a game and had one given (the famous 5 downs) to them. But, above all, the COACHES poll awarded Tech their nat champ. Any other poll is irrelevant. As far as 1952, if you were around to know what was going on then, you’re too senile to be blogging or did you just read that BS you stated in your post.

I get the “We won the coaches poll in 1990” thing. But….has anyone looked at the coaches poll from 1990. IT WAS BY ONE VOTE!!!! I wonder which coach made the difference?!?!?! It’s still fair I suppose, but not very convincing. Obviously most coaches in the nation(with the exception of the coach AT TECH!) saw the body of work during the entire year and thought CU was more deserving. Whatever. Join the club Tech. Alabama and Notre Dame have both won a bajilion kajilion national titles by your standards!!! And as far as recently, congratulations. Enjoy the year you had. A four loss year, barely beating your instate rival that has dominated you since the 60’s, not winning your conference, and getting embarrassed in your bowl game? Success(?) At UGA, a three loss year, top ten finish and top five recruiting class, and keeping all your assistants despite lucrative offers from other “competitive” schools? Disappointing? Let’s all say it together……Seven MORE years? I wonder who will coach Tech three years from now? All teams have to do from now on is watch LSU game film. You’re not sneaking up on anyone anymore. CPJ should write a personal thank you note to Chan for recruiting so well, given his circumstances. The honeymoon is over nerds. Good thing you guys didn’t schedule Garner-Webb this coming year! No but seriously, keep ragging on UGA for reminiscing about their UNANIMOUS 1980 title, and their two conference titles this decade, and their having beat you 7 out of the last 8 times…..and and 14 out of the last 18! And not having lost to you since that infamous 1990 “run” if you (as any sane fan rightfully should) reject an appellate courts decision not to vacate the 1998-2000 games for PLAYING INELIGIBLE PLAYERS!!! Oh, and sincerely from the “jacket nation”, thank you appellate court, especially since all evidence points to the fact that future Arena League “star” Joe Hamilton was one of those players, and your welcome for precedent to FSU. And also thank you Bulldog Nation for filling our stadium every other year so we’re not embarrassed EVERY game for having hundreds of empty seats. And thank you ESPN for televising our Thursday night games against Maryland. It’s hard enough to compete for market share against Georgia’s SEC schedule, and obviously you understand how hard it is to compete with the Atlanta Hawks, and we appreciate that.

Hey wreck,
So since the Coaches Poll is all that matters, you guys didn’t win the one in 1952 either since the Coaches voted for Michigan St. Glad to hear a Tech fan finally admit that’s one of several false claims to a title by your beloved school.
Tech played one of the weakest schedules in the country in 1990 and tied a pathetically bad Carolina team that didn’t even make it to a bowl, late in the season. The Buffaloes lost by one point on the road to a solid Illinois team that DID play in a bowl, early in the season. That’s why Colorado received the most votes and is considered the real champ from that year. Take 20 other teams from that season and give them Tech’s schedule, they’d all go undefeated. Give the same teams Colorado schedule, they lose at least 3.
Nuff said….

So Tech claims wins over UGA from the 40’s when they used, not only navy officers in training that didn’t go to the school, but ALSO star players from other teams!?!?!? Wow, there is no low too deep for the bees!!!
Looks like Tech’s only honest title was from 1928 or whatever. Their 1917 title came at a time when UGA didn’t even have a program, and most other schools had dismantled their athletics. Way to hang your hat on that one!!
1952 Michigan St. received the most total outlets declaring them the champ by a landslide. Including both the AP and Coaches Poll. And 1990 Tech finished behind CU but still try and claim that one as well. Ha, objectivefan you’re exactly right!!! UGA’s lead over the tards is actually more like 25 since Tech had to forfeit their wins during 1998-2000!!! What’s up with cheating at the “MIT” of the south?
Even your employees are cheaters and felons!!! LOL!! Too funny!

wreckedagain!, you sure do like to argue arguments that could NEVER be validated outside of fantasy. Such a pitiful place you must live in. The argument of, “blah, blah, blah…” is as valid! WhoCaresIfTheyreNotOurPlayers, uga has had such a stellar history on this side of the law…..seriously? I agree, that Tech doesn’t need to be claiming the ‘52 title; it’s Michigan St.’s as far as i’m concerned. ‘90 was clearly a split championship, but i’m proud of that squad and have no shame embracing our right to that championship or the other two! You pups didn’t expect to lose to Tech this year, but you did! The venom that you guys are coming up with now is MOST laughable….YA’LL LOST!!! Only by 3 points, BUT YA’LL LOST all the same. This year, you’re losers! Next season will play itself out. You can start crying for CMR’s head if ya’ll repeat as LOSERS. GO TECH!!!

Wow macro, you started throwing back at 4 o’clock? I’m about to begin my night as soon as I get off here. Isn’t everything we discuss on here “fantasy?” The only reality any of us can state as fact is that UGA owns your arse by at least 21 games. Throw out the two years in the 40’s where Tech didn’t even use their own athletes and the 6 seasons starting in ‘98 where Tech cheated, you can say with a certainty it’s more like a 25 game lead.
I’m quite entertained how any other year pukes like you wouldn’t care at all to talk about the head-to-head series, but how many times you finished number 1, or 2 since your school has a history of claiming titles they didn’t earn. But this year it’s all about the head-to-head, well, the most recent head-to-head. Nevermind the past 20, 100 years.
I do pity you Tech fans, I really do. To have to live with so much anger and jealous about your big brother down the street must be a miserable existence. I understand why you start drinking at 4.

Dear, ‘marco is drunk’, it is with a sober mind that i spoke before and it is with a sober mind that i speak now. As a Tech fan, i’ve enjoyed talking about the past and all i could get from you turd eaters was a head to head argument. NOW, all you leg humpers can do is talk about the past, as exemplified by your little ramblings. PLEASE! Make up your little minds! All this talk about ‘who’ won some championship that happened years ago is a waste of time. It’s the sports version of politics as expressed by Fox or CNN! It’s all in the eye of the beholder. As a pup fan, you’ll NEVER respect our championships and as a Tech fan I’ll ALWAYS know that we have more championships than ya’ll do. The overall record between these two teams leans heavily in favor of the mutts. HOWEVER, this past season we closed the gap by one! Perhaps, this is the beginning of a new trend in Ga! You guys know this is a real possibility….hadn’t seen you folk worked up like this is while! FEELS GOOD! GO TECH! (Hope this was early enough for ya!)

Wow, drinking solo at 2 am? You Tech fans are sad, sad people. I’m simply making the argument for you macro. Like I said, and which you didn’t disagree with, EVERY other year we get history lessons from miserable, angry Tech fans (never about the head-to-head series mind you) and now since some people have educated us on the REAL reason why Tech has (claims) more titles than UGA you get your panties in a wad and only want to discuss the most recent game. Why is that macro? Why are Tech fans ALL OF A SUDDEN wanting to talk about something entirely different???? Explain that for us please.
I think any honest, patriotic Tech fan (if any exist) could only claim their 1928 title as legit, assuming they know the histories involving all of them. So not only does UGA own you head-to-head by a quarter century worth of wins, but they also have more titles than you, and have won a championship that they SOLEY possess more recently than you. I get that you’re mad, really, but don’t you think you should move on and find some meaning for your life???

Macro is hungover (new names EVERY post….as clever as any dawg COULD be i suppose), you suggest that we SHOULD be talking about the head to head match up, right? YET, you sit looking in the rearview mirror of football’s past. A little creepy that you think you know that i’d be drinking….you’re looking into the wrong house you little peeper! History, is often blurred by opinions and missing variables. The civil war is still argued as to ‘why’ it happened. WHAT i’m saying, is that you’ll NEVER recognize Tech’s championships as demonstrated by your posts. I’m not offended by this and could care less about what anyone outside of Tech says about Tech. As a fan, I embrace three national championships with the most recent one being in 1990. Now we have the BCS and that’s supposed to make things less blurry. Personally, I believe that there needs to be a playoff. But, you and i both know that won’t end speculative arguments. I welcome the chance to talk about the head to head matchups and will be available EVERY year, win or lose. The panties that are all wadded up belong to you little p** that, seemingly, recognize that Tech is on the way up and your pups have seemed to have hit a plateau of falling short of espectations. What would you have to hold onto if Tech started to dominate the series? Apparently, it’s the thong of a possible reality that has you guys all twisted. The meaning for my life is MUCH greater than any of this…. Having served my country, I am patriotic and respect the freedom of schools to field a team or not….in combat, I assure you that the LAST thing that i was concerned about was a game or it’s ability to free civilians minds of the horrors of war! Those men that played served their country in the best way they could. I’m done with this book. Peace ;0)

Macro,
You seem to be relatively intelligent, and fair, in most of your posts. I think anyone who is a fan of CFB history, and actually knows what they’re talking about, believes that GT has a very hard time with claiming 4 titles, or even 3, as you state. Some schools are notorious for going out of their way for claiming titles that most would raise an eyebrow or two at, and Tech is definitely one of them.
Tech fans like yourself unconsciously give UGA waaaaay more props than you’d ever imagine yourself doing. You are all basing this notion that “Tech is on the way up” based on the fact that Tech squeaked out a 3 point win over UGA. A game that consisted of several VERY questionable calls against UGA, a UGA team that was riddled with injuries, a UGA team that had been without it’s best defensive player all year long, so on and so forth. The preseason number 1 UGA team wasn’t the team that Tech faced. Heck, it wasn’t even the team that GSU faced in the opening game. But it’s quite a compliment for a fan of an opposing team to say they’re world beaters simply because they “beat” UGA once in 8 previous tries. So thank you for your respect and very high praise for my school.
But a friendly reminder. Tech plays in the weakest BCS conference and still couldn’t make it to even the conference championship game. Tech was humiliated beyond belief against a 5 loss SEC team (a team that UGA destroyed) in their own backyard.
So I think you need to wait and see what your team does during the next several seasons before making such outlandish proclamations. In my humble opinion, as a football fan without bias, I honestly don’t see Tech ever winning their division, let alone the ACC. This of course won’t bode well for Johnson and he’ll simply fall victim as the most recent coach to commit career suicide down at the flats.
And the fact Terrence Moore has an article in the AJC stating that GT will be a perennial powerhouse from here on out only makes me all the more confident that my assumption will be proven as a reality.

Sunshinestatedawg, we shall see in time. It is the silly ‘future’ telling that i scoff at most (i don’t believe in crystal balls or the reading of tea leaves). Tech IS on the way up. We weren’t supposed to win, nearly as many games as we ended up winning last season. LSU clobbered a Tech team that showed up ill prepared. I don’t believe that CPJ will be looking at a bowl game as a ‘rewarded vacation’ ever again. We’ll be better prepared or he NEEDS to go! Tech got away from what had brought them there in the first place….our first four plays were passing….it was a bad time to try all of that. Our little ‘high school’ offense is a potent one! One slip on the defensive side and we eat up a lot of yards quick! Add the passing deminsion to the triple option and you’ve got a defense that is playing on their heels. Tech executed poorly in the bowl game and they paid dealy for it…..not likely to happen again. Afterall, didn’t you guys beat LSU? In regards to the ‘questionable’ calls and injured players…..whatever…..that’s ALWAYS what the losing team claims. Every team deals with those! CPJ was nine and four his first season…. HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED! Honestly, wouldn’t you want this contest to be MORE contested? Time will tell, but as a fan of college football; I’M ENCOURAGED at the prospects! Terrence Moore is DUE!!! I’m pullin for him on this call! GO TECH!!!!

Macro,
You say you scoff at “silly future telling” yet you’re predicting Tech is on the way up? Hmm…ever heard of a contradiction? A lot of what attributed to Tech’s success last year can be summarized into two major points. 1.) The ACC was very subpar, as usual, and never had a clear frontrunner all season long, and 2.) Johnson’s offense had the ever important element of surprise. We saw how effective it was against two healthy defenses like UNC’s and LSU’s. To discredit LSU’s beatdown of your team is in poor taste. Johnson didn’t dismiss the game or not take it seriously, he simply ran into a better team that was actually prepared and healthy. And please, no other preseason number 1 in the history of college football has ever sustain the amount of injuries, and loss of key players, that UGA did. Anyone who is being honest and is knowledgeable about the game, would be impressed that UGA managed to win 10 games last season.
Personally I think Johnson is a fine coach. Just as I thought O’Leary and Gailey were as well. Tech just isn’t an institute that can compete on a regular basis. They will have some flashes in the pan like last season every 6-8 years, but I think that program will remain in the mediocre state that they are in. You can laugh and roll your eyes at that, especially coming from a UGA fan, but the difference between UGA and Tech is that UGA is right on the edge of becoming a legit top 5 program every year. They are already a top 10, but they just have to get over that hump. And it doesn’t help that UF and LSU have essentially come out of nowhere either. Tech doesn’t have to worry about one team in the ACC being world beaters every year, unlike UGA who has to worry about 2, and now possibly 3 with Bama.

Whats funny is UGA fans saying Tech played a weak schedule in 1990 but have no problem with their weak schedule in 1980. Look at how many ranked teams they played in 1980 - exactly one, ND. We played several including the then number one team on their home field. The only other team UGA played in 1990 that might have been ranked in the current 25 team format was Florida.

Here’s a quick history lesson for you George. There is ZERO dispute about the 1980 National Championship. Both polls had UGA finishing number 1.
Just like how Michigan St. had a lot more media outlets voting them as champ in ‘52 (26 to 15), Colorado had 22 outlets declaring them champ compared to Tech’s pathetic 17.
In 1980, not only did both the AP and Coaches name UGA the champion, but the second closes team was Pitt with 13 outlets, compared to UGA’s 23.
Wow, you played the THEN number 1 team!?!?!? Yeah, that “then number 1” team ended the season with more losses than UGA had this year, you goon.
UGA’s 1980 team played the same amount of 8+ win teams as your number 2 Tech team from 1990.
Btw, for you to say UF wasn’t a real top 25 team in 1980 is essentially admitting you agree with most of the college football fans in the world, in that Tech didn’t win a title in 1990. Since it was the Coaches Poll that had UF ranked in the final poll in ‘80. The same poll that you Techies claim as the only REAL poll that matters from 1990. What a hypocritical douche….

Once again, thank you for the HUGE compliment you’re paying my team. For Tech to a barely defeat a very downed, injury riddled UGA squad and to act as though they won the Super Bowl is a MASSIVE compliment that I’m sure UGA fans will never be able to match for your Jackets.

If UGA bi0tched and moaned as much as Tech, and tried to declare every irrelevant poll that claimed they’re the champion, UGA would have at least 8 titles. But no, they’re too classy for that. UGA could and should claim 3 at least. They have more of a stake in the 1942 & 46 championships than Tech does any of their made up titles.

SunShineStateDawg, your ‘explaination’ of why Tech did so well was a poor one filled with speculation and dribble….IF the ACC is so bad, then WHY did it beat your ‘superior’ sec head to head? The ‘element of surprise’ that you speak of SHOULDN’T exist if the triple option is a high school offense….EVERYONE should ONLY go back a couple of years as a reminder on HOW to deal with it. (What makes the triple option so good is that you ALWAYS have the ‘element of surprise’!-you NEVER know WHERE the ball is going to go). In regards to your ‘no other preseason #1 team never….’ comment; DID YOU RESEARCH this or are you spouting WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE TRUE? Sounds like ANOTHER uga excuse to me. As to CPJ and his attitude towards the bowl game, HE said that he viewed bowl games as a rewarded vacation. This isn’t verbatem, but you can use your amazing researching skills to find it. The clarity that you thought you shared was as clear as mud. Sampson, ALL i’m hearing from your beloved pups is ‘bi0tching and moaning’! GO TECH!!!!

Macro, you don’t handle criticism very well, do you? Your anger is clouding your better judgement. The ACC, as a conference, had their best season EVER last season. The SEC, as a conference, had one of their worst in recent memory. The ACC was only able to to go .500 against them (6-6) last year, with 4 of the 12 games against Vandy and Miss. St. That speaks VOLUMES as well you know.
I’m sure you understand macro that defending the triple o requires for your defense to be disciplined. If you stick to your assignments you’ll stop it. UGA did this with their makeshift defense the entire first half. One bad quarter cost them the game, along with the help of the refs. We all saw what a healthy defense could do against it in the Chick-fil-a Bowl. No, it’s a well known fact that UGA was the most unlucky preseason #1 team in the history of cfb. I welcome you to show me a team that was perhaps more unlucky, but we both know you won’t find one. Every coach says a bowl game is a reward. Are you kidding me? Your desperation in making an excuse for the “Ambush at the Dome” shows me just how scared you are for your team from that point forward. As well you should be.

Yet again you’re making ridiculous excuses. There’s no reason for me to list every coach that has said playing in a bowl game is a reward because it would take too long. Every coach that has played in a bowl has made that claim. Look it up. I asked you to prove me wrong about any other team having worse luck than UGA and you, naturally, refused my challenge because you realized you’d lose. Give it a rest, anyone that watched the game realizes it was the 3rd quarter in which UGA gave the game away with a cute little ribbon on top. Perspective and ignoring realities are two entirely different things. The latter applies to you.

The fact you’re so desperate to spin the “Ambush at the Dome” into something else shows me, and anyone reading this, how pathetically scared you are of the bees future.
Still waiting on your proof that another preseason number 1 has endured worse luck than UGA. I figured you’d dodge that one as well. Techies are so predictable.

Not sure where you went to school, but judging from the fact if you got your world history education from the trade school you’re probably as uninformed and clueless as the worst President this nation as ever known, that being Jimmy Carter. But the Civil War was fought for one reason and one reason alone. The South wanted to succeed from the Union. I’m sure you’re equally stupid liberal teachers probably brainwashed you with some sort of propaganda, if you even bothered to pay attention, but that’s why the CW was fought.

OK so in 1952, tech might have finished no 2 in the regular season, but they beat ole miss 24-7 in the sugar bowl. Michigan State was ineligible to play in a bowl game that season because they had just joined the big ten conference. But since polls ended on November 29, they were left as the national champs. 3 polls released one week after new years day of 1953 had tech one place in front of MSU in the number one position. this gave tech the claim to the national championship that year, and was Bobby Dodd’s first and only national championship.

Georgia Tech will continue to improve on offense. There is a reason the triple option was the primiere offense in college football during the 70s and 80s. Georgia wont be able to stop it this year if they still lack discipline. Also UGA will lose its opener to OSU, LSU, FLA, and an upset loss to Tennessee. 7-5 this year for the bulldogs.

Why do you refuse still to prove me wrong? I made a statement about UGA, you disagreed, but refuse to offer your proof that I’m wrong? We’re all still waiting. Again, you’re lack of intellect is astounding. Kids today, if their teachers are being honest, are taught that the Civil War was fought for one reason only. I think you were confusing perception as to why the war was fight at the actual time it occurred. Any athletes, coaches or faculty arrested yet this week?
“sudheer,” Michigan St. was voted national champ by both the AP and Coaches Poll in 1952. According to all Tech fans on here, the Coaches Poll is really the only poll that matters. State also played and defeated Notre Dame that year, who finished number 3. Just the icing on the cake as to why the AP and Coaches Poll voted them champ and your bees number 2. Deal with it and move on. Stop claiming titles you didn’t win. It’s embarrassing as a football fan.

That would be as stupid as saying, “In the history of ncaa, there has NEVER been a preseason #1 team with as much bad luck….”.

Of course, one could ONLY speculate how the pups would’ve done with the OTHER quarterback calling the plays….

Did your buddy, the zoologist ALSO tell about dawgs eating their own turds?! typical mutt fan jumping into a conversation late and THINKING they know something….. HOW PATHETIC!!!! i’d ask you about which ‘poll’ you were holding onto, but with a name like peaches….i’m guessing you don’t have one!

Glad you finally admitted that you were wrong. Even though it was evident to everybody reading this, but glad you stopped pretending. SunShineStateDawg -1, Macro - 0. Now all you have to do is state you can’t produce the proof that another preseason number 1 had worse luck than UGA. See, when you challenge someone macro that’s what you do, you PRODUCE the evidence that proves how they are wrong. But see, you can’t do that because we both know that I’m right. LOL!!! Now you’re blaming it on the LSU QB?!!?!? LOL!!! I don’t recall any of LSU’s QB’s being on their defense when we pounded them for 52 points, LOL!!! What a pathetic moron! You really are desperate, aren’t you? Wasn’t Jordan Jefferson a true freshman making only his second career start? LOL!!! You probably should have thought that excuse all the way through, macro, before you actually typed it out, LOL, now you really look dumb. Well, more dumb than usual anyway.
P.S. - Who are you trying to fool? We all know the chicken processing plant you work at doesn’t have windows :)

AND you’re back!!!! FINALLY found someone that doesn’t have their internet locked!!!! STILL can’t seem to get my order right, though! Moron?! You’re a LITTLE backward on the “PRODUCE” statement….. I’ll type this slowly in the hope that you’ll FINALLY get it- Y O U M A D E T H E S T U P I D S T A T E M E N T … . Y O U B A C K I T U P! ! ! ! ! Talk about Tech fans making bogus claims…. “SunShineStateDawg -1, Macro -0”?! Find a SINGLE post where i laid claim to the ‘52 title…. AGAIN! Making lame statements without the research! Jordan Jefferson was a true freshman starting ONLY his second start. He’s a great athelete and could take LSU to back into the elite of the sec. This kid, very easily, could have kept their offense on the field MUCH longer than the Harvard kid could….THEREFORE, the 52 points that you boast of, might have been a little less possible. Speculative, but to those that exercise ANY level of intelligence-this makes sense (i’ll understand if YOU don’t get it). Chicken plant? You’re STILL peaking into the wrong person’s window! HOWEVER, i’d take the stench of chicken processing plant over the smell coming from your outhouse! Tip: SOME leaves are NOT good for wiping! Poison Ivey has an adverse effect! Tech found some last season that wipe REAL well!!!! these last for AT LEAST a year!!!! ;0)

Chilli, welcome to the discussion. GLAD to know that we FINALLY have the authority of debate in here! When someone makes a bold statement, THEY should back it up with facts. SunShineStateDawg MAY be right….not sure how he’d go about proving his statement….the burden is not mine. Regarding the attitude towards bowl games…..EVEN the Tech players commented on how much MORE laid back the practices were for the game than from the regular season. You remember the regular season don’t you? We ended ours with a victory over your little butt sniffers! As a typical Tech dork, I welcome all you wife-beater wearin’, green teethed jawwin’, baccy chewin’, mud boggin’, trailer parkin’, pbr’n, cousin matin’, leg humpin’, bail jumpin’, bare footin’ mutt fans!

Yes Chili, chad’s copout and pitiful excuse as to why they got AMBUSHED AT THE DOME is beyond normal tech spin. Every coach I’ve ever heard who’s played in a bowl game has used the term “reward” to describe it. He might as well say that since the game was during one of the 7 days of a week, that is why they lost, LOL!! So either way, he’s making the “greatest coach in the history of mankind” sound like a moronic idiot and he didn’t even practice at all. Chad is so desperate for an excuse that he’ll hop on excuse train.
Still waiting for you to prove me wrong little guy!! What, are they not giving you enough internet time down at your chicken processing plant and the public library has finally kicked you out for looking at gay porn? LOL!!! You’re so pathetic that I almost pity you. Your boys got destroyed by a true freshman QB making only his second ever career start. LOL!!! Jefferson will probably lose the job this summer to an incoming true freshmen recruit that they recently landed. So you basically got prisonraped by a kid that will never start for LSU again!!! Man that must “sting,” huh little guy?
I hope you get a good night’s, well, DAY’S rest little buddy. I’m so sorry they made you work overtime last night, LOL!!! Gotta hate those hourly paid jobs!!!

SunShine….you have GOT to get off that double shift action! HOW much could a single wide cost you?! You don’t like my reasoning as to Tech’s ‘ambushing’, but you’re going to sit in the land of excuses regarding 1- pups couldn’t live up to their preseason ranking of #1 BECAUSE they were the ‘unluckiest’ team in the history of the ncaa, 2- the mutts lost in their OWN kennel by an overachieving team that was ONLY expected to win three or four games all season BECAUSE of injuries. 3-those same butt lickers lost to that same overachieving team because of ‘questionable calls’. Your hypocrisy is no surprise and the pity is yours alone. Truly, i believe that you live in a ‘black and white’ world; the problem is, you’re blinded by all the grey! What’s your excuse for the Florida and Alabama games? Injuries? Questionable calls? Your words will never ‘sting’ me as they are as sharp as a kickball. Yours’ is the realm of pathetic and you are boring me. Sunshine, you’re still peeping into the wrong window!

Chad, oh my bad, “marcotech,” obviously works at the Waffle House. Look at all the times that he posts. He has more than a handful of posts on this article alone where it’s at 2, 3, 4:30 in the morning!!! And he never post before noon. So take it easy on the winner. He works hard and clearly gets picked on by numerous customers wearing UGA gear that make fun of him constantly. You know the types, the young people that come in to a WaHo in the wee hours of the morning drunk with their friends having a good time. Since “macro” doesn’t have any friends and is stuck making Patty Melts all night he’s targeted UGA with is frustrations.
Keep this young man in your prayers….

Voice of Reason, your skills at deductive ‘reasoning’ are AMAZING! I notice that you’ve posted within 40 minutes of the same time on two seperate days…. using your logic, is it safe to assume that you’re outside your neighbor’s house during their evening trip to the liquor store? Gettin’ your little quips in as fast as you can. I notice that your comments tend to be short…. EVEN with the single finger typing technique, shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to share your dribble. That leaves you with 10 minutes to tend to yourself while cruising longwalksonbeacheswithsmallboys.com! I understand why you can’t come up with anything of value to say…..other than the “keep this young man in your prayers” comment. I welcome all prayers!
P.S.- you’re wrong (i imagine you’re used to this) to say that i don’t post before noon. on this line of post alone, i have one at eleven twenty seven.

finally you respond. sudheer, you realize that Colorado got nearly a third MORE outlets that voted in their favor in 1990, right? And that’s with a loss, compared to tech’s “undefeated” season. Why do you think that is?? Hmm???? Because Colorado played a REAL schedule while your bees played a AA high school schedule at best. And to claim a title during a time of war when a lot of programs suspended their freakin’ teams (like you UGA in 1917) is just downright disgusting. No wonder tech is the most loathed program/fan base in the nation.

LOL!!! VoR you are exactly right!!! The hours makes total sense! More sense than my chicken processing plant assumption. Good Lord macro, 4:30 am?!?!? When are they going to promote you to the day shift?? LOL, I’m still laughing out loud at that one!! Great call VoR!!! I do love me some Waffle House!
Macro, when are you going to show us some other preseason #1’s that had worse luck than UGA? With your WH schedule I’m sure your time is limited, but I’d love for you to prove me wrong. My “excuses” for the Bama and UF losses? Here they are: Bama - They weren’t prepared for a smash mouth offense in Bama and fell too far behind in the first half to catch up. Had they played the first half like the second they would have won. UF - We lost to the much better team and defending Heisman winner. Plain and simple. GT - Even with our injuries and lack of usual starters, we still had the better team on the field but couldn’t tackle worth a crap. They were positioned perfectly, but forgot how to wrap up. And the 3 horrible calls obviously played a very crucial part since the game was so close. Now, tell me your EXCUSES for each of Tech’s losses? And please, do better than saying the coach called it a “reward” or because the temp. was 3 degrees warmer than what they typically practiced in :)
I’m sure you won’t be able to read this chad until you get off from WH tonight. I’m guessing anywhere between midnight and 4 am, LOL!!!! If you weren’t such a douche I’d offer to help you to get a real job, but….you’re a douche and deserve your miserable existence :)

SunShine!!!! SURE do love me some sunshine!!!! I’m good on the job front, thanks though! ‘Weren’t prepared for smashmouth offense’…. what were they prepared for?! A knitting compitition?! Thanks for admitting that you’re as full of excuses as anyone else, though!!! Lame as THAT one was! I’ll agree with you on the UF excuse…they’re a great program! Regarding Tech’s losses- anyone of intellect would be hard pressed to ignore all the turnovers in each of these losses. LSU? I guess ‘we weren’t prepared for their smashmouth offense’ OR defense….. Your statement of ‘positioned perfectly’ rings a little hollow, though; poor tackling was an issue but it was the HORRIBLE angles that the mutt defenders took that killed them. With all your posturing and hot air…..TECH WON!
I’m blessed with a great career that allows me the freedom to comment whenever i want to. I confess, however, i’ve always been a night owl. I DO love me some late night waffle house! All-Star breakfast is my usual when i stop by. Why do you guys shut down the shake machine every night when you’re open 24 hrs?!

SusShine, why did you even bother giving the WaHo employee of the month, a serious assessment of your take on the losses? You had to know he’d still be a typical yech prick. I agree with your takes on our losses, however, I think our biggest problem, even more than the injuries and bad calls, was overwhelming lack of discipline. We were incredibly undisciplined all season long, and I’m sure you noticed how we were targeted by every officiating crew out there through out the year thanks to the celebration during the UF game two seasons ago. For whatever reason the refs took that personally and made UGA suffer for it the entire year. And yes, our guys were in position every time during the yech game. You never saw a single play where a yech player was running by himself. There were always UGA defenders there, but like you said, they just refused to wrap up. I think they all rubbed butter on their hands at halftime. That’s the only thing that makes sense.
Mac, being a nite owl is one thing, but sorry chump, no one on here is going to believe for a second that you have anything near a serious job if it allows you to sit on the computer posting your idiotic ramblings at 4:30 am during the week. Don’t get me wrong, in this economy you should be thankful for work of any kind, even at WaHo, but to call that a “great career,” LOL…..riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!! I was serious about the tip, which one do you work at?? Hopefully the make your nasty ares wear a hair net, even though you’re prematurely balding :)

Peaches,
I figured I’d give him a chance to see if he could carry on a civil conservation since he asked me a serious question, but you’re right, I should have known better. All Techmites are bitter, envious tools that would give anything to have the tradition and success of UGA. That 25 game lead in the head-to-head series makes them insane I think.
I totally agree with you, but I sort of thought implied the notion that we didn’t have any discipline with the poor tackling and ill preparation for several of the games. But you are right, something was lacking in the intensity and urgency last year. I hope Richt going back to how he was his first season on the job does the trick.
Poor, poor macrotech/chad, you have so much anger in your heart. You know it’s not healthy. As far as your pitiful excuse on “turnovers” last year, anyone with “intellect” would realize and understand there’s a difference between just turning the ball over and FORCED turned overs, like Tech experienced against Va. Tech. They MADE Tech turn it over. And Tech actually had the same amount of turnovers against the Cavaliers as they did, so that’s a wash. And North Carolina just straight beat dat arse!!! So I guess anyone with “intellect” would say the only reason UGA lost was because of turnovers then? I mean, if that’s your only excuse for Tech losing then I guess the same can be said of UGA, right little guy? Any Einstein would know that when you turn the ball over more often than your opponent 9 times out of 10 you’re going to lose. Hope you’re having a good day at the Waffle House!!! Make some wonderful pancakes!!

Sunshine, THANK you for FINALLY understanding my point on excuses!!!! For a while, i was beginning to think that you were peaches using your name!!!! I appreciate your words (though i don’t agree with all of them) and your passion for those dawgs…..you’re not as blinded by it as your friend peaches. Mine is a peaceful soul and enjoy no anger at this time. Certainly, i would NEVER let words from strangers get me too worked up. My anger is reserved for greater causes than college football. Borrow a Bible and read Proverbs 3:17. Peaches, you’re a typical mutt fan that believes the entire world is out to get your little hiney sniffers! The pups “were targeted by every officiating crew out there through out the year”…….i believe you are dilusional! Also, not everyone has ‘hours’ that they must satisfy to receive a paycheck. I’m blessed to be one of those fortunate souls! Keep your tip; i’d wager that you need it more than i do. Sunshine, do they EVEN serve pancakes at WAFFLE house?!

gaeorgia tech was the BETTER team the last time the teams met. Georgia may have had more talent, but they didn’t have the heart. So talk your team up again and wait for the season to start. I’d like to see if Joe Cox can survive playing first string defenses in the SEC. Chan gailey isn’t coaching on the flats anymore. Georgia won’t start any streaks soon.

wrong as usual macro. I didn’t just come to that conclusion out of the blue, numerous commentators and talking heads throughout the year had the same theory. The yech game alone proved how lopsided the officiating was. Even the most unbiased of yech fans would agree the calls against UGA in that game were bogus. Intentional grounding when he threw it within 5 yards of a receiver?!? Right! Please, like buddy said above, there’s no real job anyone can have that allows them to stay up til almost 5 in the am. So you clearly do something that any bum off the street the can do. That much is obvious.
Sudheer (or mac’s other handle) you must not know anything about sports if you think it’s impossible for the lesser team to ever win. UGA was heads and shoulders better than Tech last year. Even with their backups’ backsups being forced to play, they still had the better team on the field. Take away some bad calls, and make a few tackles and UGA wins rather easily. We all saw what a healthy defense can do against yech in the Chick-fil-a Bowl. Actually I like SunShine’s “Ambush at the Dome” title for it!!

peaches the better team always wins. there is a difference between better and more talented. The better team makes the least mistakes and makes plays when they need to. UGA couldn’t do that against tech last year.They may have been much more talented, but tech was better on that day. Always making excuses. Yeah if tech played a little better in all the other quarters besides the third they would have blown uga out by 50. You can’t use hypotheticals. Things happen and the BETTER team will always end up on top.

The better team always wins? How do you figure? And how do you explain the fact, using your logic, that UGA was the better team than LSU yet LSU was better than yech? Hmmm??? So when UCS lost to Stanford a couple of seasons ago, Standford was the better team? See, I made you look foolish just like that. It happens every season where the better, more talented team will stumble and lose a game. By either giving it away (like UGA did against yech) or simply have a horrible day, like Bama against Utah. lol!! cute deflection, since yech was nowhere to be found in the first half. That game illustrated UGA’s errors, not the other way around. UGA should have won by at least 3 scores.
UGA lost to the defending Heisman trophy winner and soon-to-be National Champion. There’s less shame in that than getting arseraped by a North Carolina team that hasn’t done jack, ever. Or even a 5 loss SEC team in your own backyard.
Gotta come with something a little better than that :P
