Burnett undecided about his future
Safety Morgan Burnett said on Thursday that he hasn’t decided if he will leave Georgia Tech early for the NFL.
A junior from College Park, Burnett has 77 tackles and four interceptions this season. Last season, he tied for the national lead with seven interceptions. It was the most by a Tech player since 1991.
Burnett said he will sit down with his family after the Orange Bowl on Jan. 5 and then they will decide what to do. He’s rated as the second-best safety by Mel Kiper, a draft analyst.

Shane: “If they play an Orange Bowl and no one watches …….. Did it really happen?”
The number of people watching Tech in a nationally televised BCS Orange bowl versus your awful Dawgs in a 4th tier bowl at 4pm on a work day in Shreveport won’t even be close. Another baseless flame made by an ignorant Dawg fan based on nothing but blind stupidity. Thanks for playing Shane, but losers like you and the Dawgs go to Shreveport.

“besides I know who you are remember me the one with the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP TAG on the front.”
You must have an old clunker superfleabag! It’s been since 2005 since you even sniffed at a SEC Championship game. Of the 18 SEC Championship games UGA has only been in 3 of them. Both Florida and Tennessee have represented the Eastern Division 15 of the 18 appearances, which is total dominance over lowly Georgia. Georgia is ranked dead last in the Eastern Division and 5th in total appearances in the Championship so Georgia is mid-tier at best in the series. Those are the facts supermutt. Now go and tuck that sawed off tail into your cyclops and do a little research before you spew your drivel.

morgan is def gone. Burnett looked bad because he had to cover wr’s for 4,5,6 secs. one of the best i’ve seen on breaking on the ball. 3 DL gone to the nfl hurt burnett. def an nfl player. wait until next yr when uga loses 3 DL. secondary will be hurting also. thomas will prob be back. he needs to learn how to catch and run routes. nesbitt is not an nfl qb. def back

Dear BullDawg, please go take your medication. Without your dope, you spend too much of your so-called existence on GT facts & figures. I am sure some of the crap you are posting is actual fact. But I just don’t to waste Personally, I don’t have the time or patience to rag Ga on every sport, player arrest, which coach should be fired, academic standing or probation . I am sure there are other things but I just don’t have the inclination of wasting my life on you or UGA.
30 to 24. We are going to have to live with that one for a while. Props to the Dawgs. They played a helluva game. BullDawg, try to remember it was the players that played that game. Not you. Try not to use we & us too much. It doesn’t fit you very well. _______________________________________________________
To the GT Jr’s : I am selfish . I want you all back. But to you guys I have 3 words. Sam Bradford’s injury. If you are a 1st or high 2nd, you should seriously consider leaving . Making millions beats the crap out of being unemployed. That means Morgan & Dwyer. Burnett will probably be a low 2nd rounder. His stock will rise with a Sr year provided he doesn’t get hurt.

superDawg, I know that you and I have gone back and forth on the Tech vs uga rivalry, BUT DAMN! Were you ’socially promoted’? NO WAY you got out of high school with that grammar and spelling. Tech 4 to uga’s 1. Tech in the top ten….uga is nowhere close. Tech is playing in the Orange Bowl…uga is counting on mapquest to get them to shreveport. Things for Tech are looking up and uga has fired their defensive staff! uga beat us this year….nice win! EVEN if we lose and ya’ll win…we’ll be ranked higher. Fact is, it’s good to be a Tech fan! Not so much for the pups! GO TECH!!!

As a neutral observer who just vists Atlanta once in awhile for work, I am more of a Tech fan simply because their football team is more fun to watch and their quarterback does not look like a special education student. However, if you get beat almost every year by your in-state rival, that just means they may have a better football team (except for this year…the game was close and had Tech’s QB not been injured, I think the outcome would have been different). That being said, UGA fans really should not be bragging about anything. Last time I checked, you haven’t won a national championship in almost thirty years. Your football team is a joke in the SEC right now. What is even worse, your institution is a laughing stock in the rest of the country. I have noticed two things both from attending games and from working with graduates of both schools. First, the graduates of UGA are probably some of the slowest people I have ever had to work with. Second, their fans are some of the trashiest and dumbest I have ever had to sit next to. So in the end, I would not brag about being either a graduate or fan of the University of Georgia. Just let the GT fans talk about their team without you rednecks coming on here and writing comments at a third grade comprehension level. Instead, I suggest spending your time thinking positive things you can do to better your community, regardless of where that may be (Bartow, Bibb, or whatever redneck county you live in). Thank You.

Ok so I am bored sitting at the house drinking a little bit waiting til it gets late n time to head out. Anyway Im watchn the heisman thing on ESPN and is it me or is anyone else tired of seeing Tim Tebow. I have always thought that he is one of the most overated players in the history of college football. Is he a very good college player? Yes. Is he one of the all time greats and a God like ESPN makes him out to be? I say no. What has he done that so many others haven’t? He won one National Title as a starter. Yea thats right folks he didn’t start a game in 06. To put it in regional terms if God forbid UGA had won the NC this year and Caleb King had gone on to be great and win another. Would we really give King credit for the numbers he has put up this year really infuencing a NC. And he has better numbers than Tebow did. So anyway I wanted to see what the Heisman candidate has done this year against BCS competition to warrant his vote. This does not include the SEC championship because a majority of the ballots were sent in before. Soooo here we go. He has thrown for over 200 yds only twice in 9 games 208, and 221 (vs. FSU) He has thrown 10 TD’s to 4 picks.(3 TD’s against FSU no picks.) Ah but his legs are what really make him because he is such a great rusher. Wellllll he has only rushed for over 100 one time in 9 games. His average yard per rush is around 3. (He averaged 6 against FSU). Oh but it is the rushing TD’s that count for the most. Yes it must be his electric TD runs. Well he has 10 in 9 games which isn’t bad. Definatly no great. Buttttt if you take a closer look of those 10 only 3 are of more than 3 yards. I guess those QB sneaks are pretty electric. Oh and I continued to allow you to see the stats against FSU because there defense is ranked around 112 if memory serves me correct. So anyway boredom is….well boredom. All I am saying is crown him one of the greatest of all time if you want for his “wonderboy” style and Jesusness(is that a word? It is now). The numbers just ain’t there.

Good afternoon superSlow. I’m absolutely impressed that you were able to make it through an entire sentence without a shockingly dreadful error. That demonstrates real improvement superDumb! Next, you’ll be able to put together two sentences and so on. Hey, you have to start where you’re at and move up, so good work! And, after you learn how to construct sentences you can advance to learning how to make logical points and actually expressing an intelligent opinion about something. That might be a stretch for a Dawg, especially for you, so I’m not counting on that any time soon. Just keep up the good work on sentence structure, grammar and spelling and who knows, you might be able to pass 6th grade next year.

What the GT-UGA game meant to Tech was a loss to a pitiful 7-5 team and giving desperate, and I mean absolutely desperate, UGAg flamers like you something, anything to crow about. It meant nothing other than that. And the facts are as follows:
Tech’s loss did NOT take Tech out of the top 10 in the nation. Tech’s loss did NOT prevent it from going to a BCS bowl game. Tech’s loss did NOT prevent Tech from having it’s best season in years. Tech’s loss did NOT hurt after we moved on to the ACC Championship Game and ultimately to the Orange Bowl. So, the net effect for Tech fans is that we only have to listen to ignorant rednecks count to 30-24 for those that can count that far. Other than that the Dawgs are absolutely silent because they have NOTHING else to say. bWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The game also MADE Georgia’s season! The significance of that is rather obvious. What it means is that Georgia is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT this year in football, not only in this state but also on the national scene. Georgia’s win did NOT catapult it into the top 25. Georgia’s win did NOT get it a better bowl game. Georgia’s win still left it with a mediocre 7-5 overall record and a miserable 4-4 record in the SEC. Georgia’s win did NOT get the team any national attention except for the dismissal of several coaches. The biggest headline in Georgia’s football season was the DEATH of their mascot. bWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Those are the facts bulldog fans, and EVERYONE in this state and the nation knows it. So, we can handle the 30-24 taunts easily because our bowl game still means something and so does our season. Contrast that with UGAg which has NOTHING to look forward to in their bowl and most Dawgs admittedly can’t wait until this horrible season is over. Believe me, Tech fans are excited and motivated about the Orange bowl and finishing in the Top 10 at the end of the season. We could care less about the losses to Miami or Georgia, because neither of those losses prevented us from being where we are right now. And we are VERY HAPPY to be where we are. The Dawgs can’t say the same thing. Again, those are the facts pups so deal with it!
