Two guys in the running for sportsman of the year were caught on a video clip taken at the Georgia-Georgia Tech game.

The sorry episode was billed as "Dad fight," although it's unclear if these guys are actually dads.

Georgia claimed a lopsided victory on Saturday. See AJC sports writer Ken Sugiura's post-game report card here .

It's unclear when the mid-game boxing match broke out .. but we're gonna go out on a limb here and suppose that neither the Bulldog nor Jackets fan base is real proud of the antics on display.
