You say it’s your …
birthday.
Ok, well you didn’t say that. But I did.
For those who didn’t know, and sure most of yall did, coach Paul Johnson turned 52 on Thursday.
So, before we get to other stuff, I wanted to ask yall about cool gifts related to your favorite team. What’s the coolest Georgia Tech-related gift you’ve ever received or given, and why?
——————-
And, on to other stuff. In the practice report you may have read that Demaryius Thomas missed practice with a couple of injured digits. I wouldn’t sweat it. He’s been playing with since injuring it at the start of August. He’s just being held out as a precaution.
In other news, Kyle Jackson got to do some conditioning drills with the team today. I believe it was his first day getting to participate.
————-
Somebody asked for an update about Roddy Jones in the previous blog. Johnson said today that Jones’ cast will be coming off Monday.
————-
Someone also asked for an update on J.C. Lanier. He missed at least one practice earlier this week. To be honest, I didn’t get a chance to see if he was back today.
————-
Also in the practice report I wrote about the possibility of Tech having two 1,000-yard rushers this season. Jonathan Dwyer raised the possibility of three, but that’s more the power of positive thinking, I think. But who knows?
Anyway, I wanted to get yall’s take on the possibility that Tech could have two 1k dudes this year. Nesbitt and Jones each came within 10 yards of 700 last season. Who’s to say another year in the offense couldn’t produce another 1k rusher?

This is a fact: If the Rev Ricky can win the big ones (Fla, GT, Oak St) he will be out. At UGA now days 9 or 10 wins with losses in the big games will not cut it.
The only real football coach that would leave a wining BCS team for ND is one who is looking for the Mega Bucks and a quick trip to retirement. That may be Rickt but is not CPJ.

Dog Tards … You giving a lesson maturity.. funny stuff. Hey you never said where you graduated from. I bet it wasn’t Tech because I know lots of folks from tech and they sure as hell wouldn’t claim a loser like you.
I have time to do it because I own my own business regardless of whether you believe it or not and I agree that anyone who engages you and the like of stinger has gotten down in the gutter. You have time to troll blogs because you are cheating your employer out of work time by hanging out on these blogs. You and your buddy stinger are a fine reflection of what long term losing does to the mind. I know it hurts to be dominated but that is the way it is no matter how many insults you can come up with. Tech is a mediocre program with one decent season in the last 8 years. This year will be no different excpt UGA will reassert itself and you and stinger will fade into oblivion once again.

Who cares short puppy. You are the loser trolling other team’s boards. Based on how you act and what you say, I’d guess you are closer to an unemployed 16 year old child than some hot shot entrepreneur who is so bored with his life that he tries to rile up Tech fans in his spare time. Stay classy man.

DOG Tards… When tech fans get off Ga blogs I’ll get off this one. I got the info out of the 2009 UGA media guide although it really doesn’t matter does it. Georgia had more offense than teck and the difference in the game was a pick 6. Georgia’s offense scored more points than teck’s so put that in your next post. I am not bored with life at all pal but I do enjoy kicking your ass on this blog.

“Georgia’s offense scored more points than teck’s so put that in your next post.”
Right on, great W.
“When tech fans get off Ga blogs I’ll get off this one.”
What are you, like 5? Not too surprising that you base your own pathetic trolling on the pathetic trolling of others. Either grow some inter-nuts and tell us who you are and what you do that makes you Mr. Wonderful, or admit that you are just a bored freshman in high school.

Seems like Long Dawg spends more time on this blog than the Hummingbirds do at my feeder. Get a life man……Who cares if you own a business?……I don’t. One thing is for certain, the more you troll this site, the more obvious it becomes…..that college education didn’t do you any good son!!!!

Short Dawg doesn’t own his own business. He is probably about 15 years old. I seriously doubt he went to college. He is a red neck hillbilly. He is unemployed and is obsessed with beating Tech. He knows he may not live to see that happen again. Long live Paul Johnson.

SuperDawg,
Same applies to you as to ShortDawg , you redneck hillbilly. I doubt you went to college either. Just can’t take these Tech AZZ whippings can you littel girl? Are you giving away girl scout cookies with purchase of UGA game tickets? The more you kids act like fools the more I am going to advise Paul Johnson to run the score up. I agree with T.Boone Pickens on his prediction, but we will top that on you.

gt football is a 3rd rate program at best and is an embarrassment to the ACC. I can’t wait until November 7th.

Wake talking trash, now I have officially seen everything. You are gonna’ get a handful from Tech and hopefully even some of our brothers from Athens will chime in and make fun of you. What a joke.
