“Georgia Tech’s SoS for all games this year, shows that Tech’s Opponents have a LOSING RECORD by several games.”
WRONG. Not spectacular, but so far our opponents are 39-35. Funny: If you BEAT 8 out of 9 of those teams, it helps reduce their overall record that much more! If you only beat 4 of 8: Not so much…
(In other words, against teams OTHER than GT, so far our opponents are 38-27. Not quite as good as UGA’s opponents cumulative record, but UGA losing to FOUR teams so far sure helps that total for those opponents!)
I’ll be the first to admit that UGA FINALLY scheduled ONE tough OOC game this year — other than GT that is — and actually ventured out of the Southeast during the regular season! Congratulations…was that so hard? (Well, I guess the losing-by-2-touchdowns part was.) So kudos on your oh-so-tough schedule, and on going a perfect 0-3 — and counting — in your games against current top 25 opponents. (Yes, GT did have ONE loss was to a ranked opponent…But we also know what it’s like to BEAT a ranked opponent.)

“37-39 record of all teams on Georgia Tech’s schedule this season.”
WRONG. 39-35 so far — like I said — and if you add the last 3 regular season games, the current sum total of all of this year’s opponents is a winning record too. (At least it is if you actually know how to add properly, that is. I know that at least * some * UGA fans are capable of that.)

And as plenty of people have pointed out, GT’s schedule is one of the more difficult ones, as tabulated by experts who actually use, you know, FACTS. But I know you don’t let mere facts get in the way of many of the opinions on your little diatribes. Of course one fact is that playing GT helps UGA’s S.O.S…much more than playing UGA helps GT’s S.O.S. Why is that?

“SEC has 3 of the Top 9 teams in college football, and the ACC has ZERO.”
Two questions:
(1) Guess who the #10 team is?
(I’ll give you a hint: It rhymes with “Georgia” and “Tech”…)
(2) Where’s UGA ranked? How many spots after you get past all of the teams in “others receiving votes” ?

“Georgia Tech has NOT played and will not play any one. Miami of Florida has not played and will not play any one.”
Yeah, VT and Oklahoma sure are pushovers. And by saying GT “will not play any one”, you are saying that UGA isn’t “any one”. Well done, genius! Well, I’m not that much of a hater, but I can actually agree with you on that little observation about UGA…

“You will do this after you play a totally unranked ACC team from the Atlantic Division in a conference Chumpionship no one will attend, or even watch.”
We do have a couple of games to play first. If we make it there as we should, I will go along with tens of thousands of others. If it happens to not be a sell out, we will still enjoy it. Don’t understand the huge obsession about posting endlessly about “not selling out” games. I understand the point you are * trying * to make, but it’s just desparate, pathetic hatin’.

“You cannot even sell out your own stadium for the 1 game against a team only ranked because they didn’t play any one either, like Tech.”
So…You are saying that VT playing Alabama (or Nebraska, or Miami) doesn’t count as “playing any one either” ? Riiiiiight.

“to come down there in the slums of Atlanta where all the crime and drugs are and buy a ticket to your lousy scheduled games in a sorry-butt conference”
Just suffice it to say that Atlanta sucks so much that 5 million people (and counting) choose to live here. If you aren’t one of them, so be it. Sometimes GT sells out, and sometimes we don’t. And I’ll enjoy the tailgating — and winning — with tens of thousands of people who are not so miserable, hateful, and obsessed.

On a happier note, I agree with GT 9: “Time to get paleolithic on the Deacs and grind them into an unnameable substance that even a dog wouldn’t lick.”
Great stuff! And thanks for almost making me laugh-’n-spray sweet tea all over my keyboard…

Oh yea, last thing… the LSU loss last yr comes from the fact of not only the talent difference n favor of LSU but the fact they had a MONTH 2 prepare for the offense when teams typically only have a week or 2

Given that they expect GA Tech to win out, crushing UGA in the process, and LSU to lose to Alabama those comments are merely an extension of SEC homerism. GA Tech has gained their respect by playing SEC teams out of conference and, with the exception of LSU, putting a whooping on them.

The SEC homer does not see a 12-10 Alabama win being an ugly win that makes Alabama look weak, they see it as an SEC defensive struggle at its finest, demonstrating how the SEC is the best conference in the FBS. So when CPJ led GA Tech goes 4-1 against the SEC and in their wins score 38 (08 MSU), 45 (08 UGA), 42 (09 MSU), 56 (09 VAN), and what they expect to be an unholy stat line against 09 UGA the strength of the SEC is then transferred to GA Tech.

See in the homer mentality, Johnson’s Spread Option offense does not expose vaunted SEC defenses as being overrated, on the contrary the value of the vaunted SEC defense is imputed upon GA Tech making it one of the best offenses in the country. In less than two years the standard line is transformed from Johnson’s offense being a high school gimmick offense that can’t stand up to the SEC, to Johnson’s offense and his team being one of the best and well coached in the nation. While this appears bizarre at first, the homer mentality easily explains what has happened.

In the words of Josh Nesbitt, “How about them Jackets?”

As a Tech fan I will not get into arguments of where Tech should be ranked until the season is finished. I have been a fan too long and seen Tech stumble to teams they should have beaten. I just hope Johnson can change my perception as well as the nations.
