Georgia Tech carries in-state recruiting momentum after Georgia win
Stephen Hill
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said Tech’s 45-42 win over Georgia, snapping a seven-game losing streak, has had an impact on the recruiting trail. ”Certainly, it doesn’t hurt when you can beat your in-state rival. It’s got to help. It gives you more credibility within the state. But it can’t be an one-time deal. We’ve got to be able to repeat it.”
“Georgia has a lot of advantages in the state, from perception or whatever. And a lot of it they created themselves. They’ve done a nice job. You try to find guys that fit your system, and there are good enough players in the state of Georgia that both schools can get good players.”
Johnson and Georgia coach Mark Richt have both said they expect to compete against each other more often for the state’s top 2010 prospects. “Have we got to come head-to-head sometimes? Sure we will,” Johnson said. “We did last year. Not a lot, but some.”
Stephen Hill was the state's only player deciding between offers from Georgia and Georgia Tech the eve of signing day (RENEE BROCK/Special to AJC)
“A lot of times you don’t realize how many times you come head-to-head because a lot of guys commit early, and you’re not going to end up recruiting them. Georgia is the same way we are. If you put out your feelers, and they have no response, then you’re not going to beat your head against the wall. If you think you’ve got a fighting chance, and someone is open [to listening], then you’ll go recruit them. Certainly Georgia had some guys in-state they signed that we looked at. And whether they admitted it or not, so did they. We had some other guys than Stephen Hill that they approached. They weren’t going to come out and say they’re recruiting them, and them not go there. It’s just the nature of the business.”
Hill, the wide receiver from Miller Grove, had a last-minute offer from Georgia, but ended up signing with Georgia Tech.

Stephen was considered by rivals to be the 99th best receiver in the counrty. Why come to Georgia when they got the 5th, 7th, and 29th best receivers this year alone, and the 2nd best last year. Its funny how he makes a great (maybe your best) recruit for tech and a scout team guy for Georgia. 7-1, 7-1, 7-1, 7-1

I’m just proud to say that CPJ has respect for UGA and CMR and aren’t treating them like pushovers. Hopefully CMR thinks the same of Tech.
Georgia guy: It’s funny how yall get the best recruits yet we beat yall last year. If you’re going to bring up the 7-game-winning-streak, I’m bringing up the 8-game-winning-streak, since they’re both in the past. 8-7, 8-7, 8-7, 8-7.

Hate to break it to you guys, but Tech scoring 26 points in the 3rd quarter due to UGA’s horrible tackling (if there was any tackling at all) is not a fluke. That’s UGA’s fault for not playing 100% throughout the whole game, and Tech took advantage of that and won.

It is funny how UGA fans bring up the past alot. Who cares if UGA went 7-0 against Tech. College football teams change considerably every year. So the recent past is the most relevant and Tech with CPJ (change of an era) is 1-0 against UGA. That is what all us Tech fans see. So you dawg fans can chant 7-1 until the end of time and we don’t care. It doesn’t hurt us.
And this “pull your scholorship” and “get a ring for beating UGA” stuff has to stop. You are just showing how much of an idiot you are. If you don’t get the story straight then like my grandfather told me “shut the f up”! It is obvious that either you are just too dumb to understand or you just choose to ignore key facts to these stories.

Besides beating Georgia last year (a team with 19 season ending injuries – thats 19 1st or 2nd team guys that did not even suit up against you) Thats like picking a fight with a blind man and bragging about how you whipped his butt. We were half that healthy when we hung 52 at LSU. How tech do against them across the street in the Dome. Nice Field Goal. What else do you have to talk about besides beating Georgia.

Tech won last year. That’s a fact. It’s undeniable. It sucks. Was it a fluke? I strongly believe so. But let’s look at the other facts. Your coach got his entire team rings for beating Georgia. Coach Paul Johnson’s words on the victory: “But it can’t be an one-time deal. We’ve got to be able to repeat it.” Thank goodness he’s not treating it like a one-time deal. Buying rings to remember the first win in 8 years is really sending the right message, coach. I have no doubt that LSU just made Willie Martinez’s job so much easier to handle the spitfire and hate that Paul Johnson has ready for the Bulldogs. Coach Johnson reached as deep into his bag of tricks as his pudgy little arm could reach to attack the Bayou Bengals in the Peach Bowl, but unfortunately for the “Foul Mouthed Genius,” LSU just gave all of Tech’s opponents the blue print for shutting down the highly overrated and antiquated wishbone attack.
What absolutely amazes me is a fan base like Tech’s has the audacity to jump on the blogs and act like they are the dominant team in the state because of their first victory in 8 years and a 3 point win to boot. Let’s be dead honest. You guys can’t sell out your own stadium that seats 30,000 less fans than ours. The majority of your fan base lives in the Metro Atlanta area for crying out loud. So it’s got to be marketing strategy, right? Next year your athletic department is forcing Georgia fans to buy season tickets just to watch our team wipe the acne ridden smiles off your greasy faces. Pathetic. I guess that’s your solution to sell more tickets but keep that half-full feel you guys are used to at Grant Field.
And let’s take a look at the Institute you are puffing your chests about. No offense to the Indian and Asian kids that are attending GT to become engineers someday, but these kids could care less about your football team. They’ve voiced their displeasure in the past by demonstrating at football games in front of the student center to let everyone know how unfair it is to close their library during football games. I was there. I saw that happen.
As for the rest of the predominantly male student body, are you guys serious? Have you ever really taken a good look at the student section on one of Tech’s Thursday night games? It’s just a bunch of 130 pound weaklings that are good at cheering because it’s all they’ve known. They wouldn’t know the difference between a thigh pad and a chin strap. Those kids are life-long athletic supporters. Seriously, saying you’re a Tech fan isn’t too impressive. It’s admitting to being stuffed in lockers in high school. It’s saying that dungeons and dragons in your parents basement on Friday nights used to beat the heck out of hanging out in public with girls. It’s like wearing a promise ring that says you’ll remain a virgin when you couldn’t get laid in a brothel with $100 bill underwear. Your student section looks like an ad for “Self-Esteem Camp.”
You guys can have “The Flats” and your 2 and 3 star recruits like Stephen Hill. I’ll take the southern belles, the college town, and the most perfect atmosphere on fall Saturdays God ever created to celebrate my alma mater’s dominance in the state of Georgia.

so tech beats uga by 3 one season after losing 7 straight then gets absolutely smacked down (3 points) less than 10 minutes away from their campus by the same team that georgia dropped 50 on in baton rouge. you’d think tech fans would temper the smack talk after such a poor showing on national televison against a team that they clearly expected to annihilate. way to finish the season. either way, aj green and marlon brown will have uga on the winning side of this rivalry in the coming years. the more teams see this triple option the better they will get at stopping it.

Paul Johnson, yes sir, “Georgia has a lot of advantages in the state.”
Like finishing Number 10 in the Final USA Today Coaches’ Poll to Georgia Tech at Number 22.
Like the 45 NFL UGA Bulldogs today.
Like UGA being Number 5 in Wins in Football for the last Dozen Years.
Like UGA being Number 6 in the nation in Attendance.
Like UGA Football Players having a far better NCAA APR Academic Progress Rate than Tech’s.
Like keeping our football players, when Tech’s players quit the Tech football program.
It did not help Georgia Tech one iota in Recruiting or in the Final Rankings that you won 1 football game in the last 8 against Georgia, as for the 8th Consecutive Year Georgia Tech ended up ranked WORSE in the Final AP Poll too than Georgia yet again.
Paul Johnson had NEVER BEATEN a Final AP Poll Top 25 team, ever, anywhere. Pretty amazing actually.

As long as CMR is at UGA, techies can forget about getting the best talent in the state of GA! As CRG stated…”Mark Richt is a brand”. The guy is just someone that kids want to play for and coaches want to coach for. Tech will get a couple here and there (where UGA is loaded) but that’s about it.

VERY WELL SPOKEN! I have been a lifelong UGA fan and wish MS and KM would have played for us next year. Can you imagine their stats with a better O line, defense and less injuries? Wish they would have learned from HW34 leaving early….Championships and Heismans??
I met coach Johnson while he was on a recruiting trip in SC last year. I was the Captain on a different jet. I am glad he is back in GA and was a GSU fan because of living in Savannah and always liked Coach Erk Russell! I played for Wayne County and was a friend of Barry Collier #79 73-75. Also, Lindsay Scotts hometown! My first time in Sanford Stadium was Band Day ‘68 Houston. Anybody remember Paul Gipson and a tie at 10? I listened to Larry Munson many years and in many places! Hope you enjoy your retirement, Larry! It will be interesting to see our performance next year and I bet we will be prepared for the Yellow Jackets at ATL, also the Gators at JAX! Go Dawgs!

The fact that he came in and one season, installed a new offense, a new defense, he was able to win 9 games last year and yes, beat ya’ll…IN YOUR HOUSE…shows that he is going to be a force to be reckoned with as long as he remains…hopefully a long time. Yeah, LSU kicked our butts..big time. And it showed how far we have to go. And we’ll get there.

Uga fans always distinguish themselves as such illiterate fools in these blogs.

I find the blog responses funny. Some dawg fans pick a few things to harp on over and over, and show just how stupid some UGA fans are. Let me preface by saying that I know there are some rational UGA fans, and that it is actually a very good school. I considered going there, as a fall-back to GT. Luckily I didn’t need the fall-back. Now for my list, the ignorant fans love to talk about:
1) LSU loss (but never think to maybe not go there with their own blowout losses, but oh yeah that is OK because those were quality opponents)
2) The “UGA” rings we had made (even though they were not for UGA but the bowl, and UGA was only one small part of the whole ring)
3) This offense will never work again, segue into CPJ has used all his tricks already and came up short against LSU, segue into LSU/UNC gave everyone the blueprint to beat us (ignoring the fact it was our first season running this and we will get better as well as increase the number of plays as well as get players better suited as we go along).
4) They didn’t really want/need Hill. Also he will be our star “blocker” but for them would have just been a scout team player. (We all saw this one coming, also no way we pass more and better with an additional top tier WR to throw to).
5) They had won 7 in a row, making our one win worthless. (They forget that we still hold the record at
6) A derogatory statement must be thrown in about our student body, including the lack of females and number of foreign students we have. (I cannot deny either of these facts, but do not understand what bearing they have on football, or why a large number of foreign students is a bad thing).
7) To add all of the above items up means that UGA will win this year, so there is really no reason to even play the game. It is assured UGA does not allow GT to win another anytime soon, and will likely break the streak record starting with this year. (This ignores the fact that all the variables have changed but they have trying to still run the same old equation…)

Tech hasn’t beaten us more than 3 times in a decade since the 1950s. It wasn’t like Tech was never going to beat us again when it happened this year. Sooner or later yall always win 1 maybe 2 every 10 years or so. It just shows how much we own Tech and how irrelevent they are that when they do win they give rings and all they can do is repeat their once a decade winning score. I can hear it now after we have beaten them like 5 more times in a row its like 2013 and so Tech fan will be on here going 45-42, 45-42. Get a life 45-42 is in the past now also Tech Girl it’s 2009 and the 2008 season is history many schools are already starting spring ball. When you beat us atleast 7 out of 10 every decade for 50 years then maybe you will have some ground to talk.

I guess UGAG’s 2 wins in the past 20 years (or however many) against the GATORS means more than Tech’s one win in the past 8 against the pups. And in one of those TWO wins, your hypocritical coach had to resort to gimmicry and BREAKING AN ESTABLISHED RULE to do it, not to mention playing against a Tebow who was at half-strength. If UGAG’s injuries were the reason Tech won this past Fall, then consider Tebow’s injury in 2007. If he had been healthy, even St Mark’s gimmicks wouldn’t have worked.

Maddog, you can’t dismiss me. I pay YOU to work for ME. So get off your lazy ass and do something useful for a change, or you’ll be doing what other dogs do—-eating your own excrement. Or are you still waiting for Obama to stimulate you?

Definition – if a 3 point victory serves as a “stomping”, “massacre”, “thrashing”, etc, then what was the 51-7 UGA victory over Tech a few years back? Massacre “squared” or “cubed”?? You boys brag about how tough calculus is so please figure this one out and get back to me, okay? You’re dismissed for now.

Maddog, you sure do like to use the term “You’re dismissed” a lot. Could it be that you have heard it addressed to you so many times that it’s just a natural reaction to anybody or anything you don’t like?

griffdawg, son’t think so, buddy. Tech’s victories were over much better teams than UGa’s. Try getting YOUR facts straight. Besides beating UGa (a 10 win team) Tech beat BC and FSU (both 9 win teams). Uga beat….ummm, Michigan State with 9 wins and no one with more than 8 wins after that. Your strength of schedule was strong because of your LOSSES to Bama and UF (and us, of course). But your wins were, as wlays,, pretty unimpressive. But keep that preseason Sports Illustrated pic up on your wall, buddy. Maybe it’ll happen for you sometime or other.
Also, those Dawg fans who mention rings (both schools give their seniors rings), injuries (Tech had as many if not more than UGa) and “pulling a scholarship” (it’s about integrrity, I know you don’t get that as Dawg fans, but *try* to imagine integrity in a football program)just show your tremendous ignorance. Unfortunately, most Dawg fans (not all, thankfully, but too many) are in this category.
To those Dawg fans who enjoy respectful competition, congratulations. We enjoy respectful competition and respect what UGa has built in Athens. But neither fan base should respect classless idiots on these blogs.

Supersize, I think that stinger up your jacket a$$ has taken its toll. A lot of GT fans are obnoxious (as are fans from every college), but you’re just plain crude. No WAY you graduated from Tech. I have many friends/acquaintences who are Tech grads and they are great. You can’t cut the muster!! Again, and finally, you’re dismssed. I’ll let you have the last word(s) ignoramous.

If it does CMR is a win or 2 away from dominating Florida.

Per Otto: “does 1984, 1985, 1989, and 1990 not count?

Huh? I was refuting a statment that GT has not won more than 3 in a decade since the 50’s. A quick review of Wikipedia showed those dates. I merely asked if that did not count. What does that have to do with Florida?

Tech Man: You should take your grandfather’s advice, nerd.
Other Techies: We own you. Sure, you’ll win once or twice a decade, the same way Kentucky will beat us once every ten years also. It just happens. You’ll celebrate and make commemorative rings and such, and then you’ll go back to being the JV program in Georgia while we remain a top program. Nerds.

Maddog, you got slapped a lot in school before you dropped out, didn’t you?
So, I’m watching this celebrity apprentice last night and I never realized how dumb Herschel is. Maybe if they started a show “are you smarter than a first grader” he’d be perfect. I’m putting the money on the first grader though.
…and he actually graduated from UGAg? What an embarrassment.
Oh yeah, 45-42!!!

Supersize, I do need to get on with my life. Many apologies for the egregious typo (similar to your earlier typo?). But let’s turn the discussion to coherent thoughts and sentences – an area where you are definitely lacking. You said “the last word is that the correct spelling is…”. WTF??? Forget dismissing, you’re irrelevant!

Right on, John. And JD, as bad as the Tech basketball progam is now, it is an understatement to say that Tech OWNS the mutts in basketball. Have you looked at that record. I think Tech has somewhere near a 20 game margin in the win column there. Tech stands a far better chance of someday evening the record in football than UGAG does in basketball, although obviously if either happened, it wouldn’t be in our lifetimes.

Maddog, I guess you consider the record in the UF – UGAG series irrelevant too, since you never addressed my comments about that or about St. Mark resorting to BREAKING AN ESTABLISHED rule (regardless of how petty a rule) to fire up a team that, at that point in the 2007 season had been scrambling for their lives.

Supersize – you mean like breaking a rule such as fixing transcripts for GT athletes so they could keep their eligibility and play during those glorious George O’Liary years? That kind of established rule breaking?? Our “breaking the rule” cost us a total of 30 yards and we still won the game. And your rule breaking cost you what?? LMAO. Please do try again.

Maddog, “you net worth”??? Another typo, I suppose. And I am surprised that you would diss Reggie Ball, since he was obviously the most valuable player for the mutts while he was in school. It’s for damn sure you wouldn’t have won without him….DAMN HIM!!!

Tech scored more points on UGA in one half than Alabama. Alabama put up 31 points. Tech put up 33. 90% of UGA’s points in that game went on to the NFL. Tech has 100% of their Offense coming back. your red headed step child “Cox” is a one and done this year also.
