ATHENS – You may have heard Kirby Smart use his book metaphor a few times this season. Well, he used it again this week in reference to his No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (11-0) facing Georgia Tech (3-8) at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday (noon, ABC).

“It’s the next part, the next chapter, and what are they going to write about this chapter?” Smart said of his players. “I know our guys will be fired up and ready to go.”

There wasn’t a lot of discussion in the Bulldogs’ camp this week about throwing out the records or “Clean Old-Fashioned Hate” or Tech-Georgia being one of the South’s oldest rivalries. At 114 games, the Bulldogs have played only Auburn more (125 times) since they started playing football in 1892. And the schools can’t even agree on the number of times played. Georgia does not count the two losses that occurred during World War II.
