I think you’ll enjoy this
So, I was riding home from the Falcons game last night with a friend of mine and I got a call from a producer of the Scott Wetzel show on Sirius Radio.
He asked if I had time to come on. Sure, I said. I assume yall want to talk about Georgia Tech, I asked.
Yep, he says, my boss has picked Georgia Tech to win the whole thing.
Short pause on my end.
The ACC, I ask.
No, he says, the BCS championship.
Short pause on my end.
I turn to my friend Scott, who can hear the conversation, and say to him, Sure, why not.
A few minutes later I’m on the phone with Mr. Wetzel.
Yes indeed, he is picking the Jackets to win the whole thing, defeating Ohio State for the title.
He asked a couple of interesting questions:
Other than Georgia, which team does Georgia Tech want to beat more than the others. I said Virginia Tech, reasoning that they are the defending champs, and that Georgia Tech lost to them last year.
He asked which team does Georgia Tech need to beat to make people stand up and notice. I said North Carolina, reasoning that Tech defeated Miami and FSU last season, and lost to UNC. Plus, they would play them early enough that a win against the Heels, who are supposed to have a solid defense, would make people go hmmm. (dropping a little C+C Music Factory on you….I hated that “band” in college)
So, I’ll throw those two questions out to the floor. Tell me what you think, and why.

“Depending on the poll” blah, blah, blah,… you will never see 4 top fifteen teams. Put the crack pipe down. Maybe 6-7 azzwhoopins’.

The cheerleading squad missed you last night, they got a little dehydrated without the Gaytorade.

It was a radio host who liked Tech to win it all. Not us Tech fans. And from one man from the date of Georgia to another… Good luck to the Dawgs against OK State. Make them look bad and rep the state well. We want UGA nd GT to be 9 win teams when they meet in November and then we’ll see just how far CPJ has come. Heck, the “joke by the coke” played one heck of a joke when they too the sledges to the headges and WON! So we aren’t such a joke that most UGA fans think we are.
And I’ll be a man and wish GAWGA good luck against a Big 12 team. Let’s keep both teams in Georgia in the top 10 all year long. Let’s get ready for toe to meet leather.

Dogs are so stupid… I just hope they keep ol’ Martinez for a few more years, he’s dumber than Reggie Ball. Can’t he stop a high school offense?
I wonder what happens to “jesus freak” richt after tech runs up a 3-4 game win streak against the dogs. Exorcism? He’ll be on the hot seat after tech beats them by 20 and the dogs lose 5 games. Also, rumor has it, Joe Cox has Swine Flu…

Only at teck, where everybody is a math wiz, is one win a trend, a 3 point win is a beatdown and 9 wins deserves a commemorative ring. Talk about a program desperate for respect. It is pretty pitiful to see a bunch of fans so desperate. When you back a loser it starts to work on you mentally and all you have to do is read some of these teck fan comments to see how envious of the DAWGs they are. The envy is at a sick level. I predict a big upset of teck today by the jax state school for girls. Way to man up insects.

OK ST will go thru UGA like crap thru a goose. UGA loses to: OKST, LSU, UF, GT no SEC, no MNC, no BCS, no bowl win and no respect! UGA8 & 5. GT 10 & 2.

What did you all wear for opening night at Dragon*Con? Will you be wearing the same costume to today’s incredible game between heavyweights at Sanford II?

Paul’s Johnson, I didn’t get a chance to watch your game today. Could you tell me who won? Ha! Ha! Ha! By the way, we won our game and will move up in the rankings. You will drop out of the top 25. Long season for you idiots. Your QB and running backs are pathetic just like you and your momma. I just kicked her butt out of here and told her to never come back. She begs for my Johnson.

I knew those 2 losers (Paul’s Johnson & F. STinkwich would not be here tonight) In fact they may never come back. The only reason they may come back is because I can’t seem to keep their mothers away from me.Pauls momma is one sleazy looking lady. I hope she doesn’t tell her old man she wants me.

Glad we won the game, but it was a sub par performance. Scott Blair, you stink and don’t need to be playing Div 1 football. Nesbitt fumbles way too much to be a JR. quarterback. The offensive line his somewhat small compared to average. We should be won the game about 45 t0 zip. Jackets better be ready Thursday night or Clemson will smoke us.

One game at a time Tech fans and for us that means Clemson on Thursday night.

I think we’re getting way ahead of ourselves. I was at the game Saturday afternoon, and it was a fun game to watch, but I was left totally unimpressed. The defense was soft at times and the receivers dropped 4 passes that should have been easily caught. That, and the option looked fairly rusty. Nesbit was holding on to it when he should have pitched several times. If we play like this in a few days, this article is a moot point. Pre-season rankings are a bunch of crap and mean nothing. I don’t think you can have a realistic opinion until after we wade through Clemson and Miami. Here’s to improving drastically by Thursday and kicking Clemson’s ass. GO JACKETS

I don’t see how they are going to go in to Tallahassee and come away with a win. If it were not for the fumble on the goal line last year in Atlanta, Tech would have lost that game. In the 4th quarter, Tech could not stop the FSU offense. If Tech’s defense doesn’t get more endurance, they won’t be in any title game consideration.

Did you forget FSU gave you guys the victory last year with “the fumble” into the end zone. I would say the game in Tallahasse will be your toughest. Can’t say I am surprised you are looking past the NOles after their struggles but have you all blocked out that game from last year?
