What’s going on in Iowa?
I figured I’d share some of the stories that the fine journalists in Iowa are producing about the Hawkeyes as they prepare to face your Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 5.
It appears QB Ricky Stanzi’s ankle is good to go: http://bit.ly/5PhRYk
Like Georgia Tech, Iowa has a few players who have to decide if they want to leave school for the NFL: http://bit.ly/6JBqVT
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz wants his team to focus on Miami: http://bit.ly/6iCUTg
——-
Tech coach Paul Johnson said he was pleased with the team’s practice on Thursday, which moved to the morning after three days of afternoon practices.

PITIFUL… good handle for a maggot fan… Georgia Tech was favored this year dimwit and it didn’t make any difference. It doesn’t matter who is favored it matters who wins numskull. One good year with a bunch of patsies on the schedule does not make a trend. Get ready for your regular bowl beatdown when you have play a non A-She-She patsy. 30 to 24 baby… glad it hurts so bad.

Yeah right Pitiful. You saw your future. 30 – 24. Paul Johnson will never fix your defense. He doesn’t have a clue what D is. Check his history. All he knows is that dead in the water TO. UGA will hire a damn good DC and at that point GT can kiss it’s azz goodbye. Paul won’t stay and with the recruits he’ll leave behind, Tech will be dead in the water for ANOTHER decade.

superDawg, THANK you for making a prediction…….your accuracy rate has been astounding the first half of the season……THEN the mutts started losing and you, like so many pup fans, tucked tail and ran.
“TheTruth”, haven’t you been keeping up?! NOBODY seems to want the DC job at uga…..everybody, with the exception of mutt fans has seen the writing on the wall…..might as well bury uga football next to all the uga’s that have passed! We’re closer to adding another National Championship than the pups are and you know it….it eats at you….it haunts you…..you ARE consumed!!!! Why else would you be on a blog that doesn’t have anything to do with uga?

And what’s haunting you macrotech is that you know that everything you just said is nothing more than false bravado. You saw your future in the last UGA game and it scares you to death. You know success is fleeting at Tech. You know UGA will hire a very good DC and you know what Paul Johnson knows about defense won’t fill a thimble. Your talent is mediocre at best and you can’t even beat UGA’s worst team this decade. Chan’s boys are leaving and it’s all downhill for Tech from there.
And btw. You nats better get down on your knees and pray to God that your team beats Iowa. If they kick your azz it’s going to be a longer year for you girls than it already is going to be.

According to Tim Tucker, UGA has sold 6,000 of it’s 12,000 ticket allotment for the Shreveport Bowl.
Four tickets, four hot dogs, four cokes anyone??

Macrotech=microbrain…. Tech closer to a National Championship…How can you be closer when you lost to us nit wit. The only reason you won 11 games is you play in the A-she-she conference and schedule 5 patsies that didn’t even have a winning sesaon. Nothing about you maggots haunts us.. this is all payback for the smack you guys talked for the last year. 30 to 24 losers.. glad it hurts so bad.. Get ready for your 5th bowl loss in a row.

I saw that Florida can’t sell its allotment of tickets to the Sugar bowl. I wonder if everyone is having trouble with bowl sales b/c of economy or if its the scheduling dates. I know it will be hard for fans to go to the OB being on a Tuesday after the holidays with school starting back and many returning to work. I myself could not go b/c of that.

“The Truth”, what I saw in the last game with uga was a dropped pass that could have extended our effort to beating the pups. I give credit to uga for the win, but you know your butt cheeks were tight enough to make your couch disappear during Tech’s last drive. Truth is, with the exception of a few games, these games prove to be tighter played and tend to go to the team with the last possession. 140 years of college football and uga can ONLY win two National Championships? Your mutts continue to underachieve and THAT is what haunts you. You mutts thought that ANY DC would jump at the chance to coach at uga…..not so much!
YOU EARNED THE RAZZING, say what you want…….here you are, on a blog that has nothing to do with the crotch sniffers of athens! Nice win, though…..I hear the weather in shreveport is lovely this time of year! Tech 4 to uga’s 2…….
superDawg, I’m LOVING how verbal you’ve become! Especially, since you disappeared half way through the season! For the record, if you’re going to tell me the “difference” between “prediction” and something….you MIGHT want to give me the ’something’….nice use of your own quote, “steamroll in flatten your ass and move on”…..do you EVER read you’re own post before submitting them or are you that poorly educated? You might want to consider changing your name to simpleDawg. 4 to 2…..not my truth; just THE truth!

superDump, again, you’ve proven my point! To answer your question, yes, there is something ‘wrong’ with that. You wrote, “Well another day passed until the next extermination…..”. There are a couple of options you might have used in the spirit of writing with ANY indication of an education. Like, “Well, another day HAS passed….”. OR, you could’ve gone with, “Well, another day’s passed….”. I hope this has been helpful. Perhaps, with a little more help, we’ll get you up to “fries”…..THAT’S when the big bucks will start rolling in!

I was at a holiday party tonight, talking with a group of folks about college FB. Some Tech fans, some UGA, some Tenn, some Alabama … and sure, once all school ties were revealed, there was plenty of ribbing from all sides about the past and future of each school’s respective football programs.
And then in dawned on me:: it was “good-natured” ribbing among civilized adults, who, despite their probable hatred for someone else’s school, were still able to carry on a descent and respectful discussion about college football.
I urge everyone to remember that the typical school-affiliated fan who posts comments on these blogs should not be looked upon as representing his/her school’s fan base as a whole. While many of the comments being posted are descent and civilized, twice as many are not. It is quite convenient to hide behind a generic blog name and litter the AJC blogs with daily trash and hatred. I doubt that any of these folks spew the same trash and hatred out in the real world. If they do … indeed what a lonely life they must lead.
Merry Christmas to all … Tech and UGA fans alike.

macrotech (microbrain), I bet you forgot all about that UGA receiver wide open behind your secondary that dropped a TD pass, and how about the wide open, all by his lonesome UGA receiver that Cox overthrew in the endzone. That game wasn’t nearly as close as the score. You mites are lucky you didn’t lose by 3 TDs.

A bunch of hardnosed farmboys against the softies from the ACC (two games in a row without a forced punt? should get kicked out of Div 1 for that) = a long day. How many top 10 D’s did you play this year. Your offense is cute, no doubt, but when you line up against men and not the skinny nerds of the ACC….. you’re entering a world of pain. Thanks to UGA for the blue print on swatting the bumblebees (as my daughter calls them)…line up, punch em in the mouth, get the W. You’re in for a long day. Go Hawks!

We saved our season Techie? You must have missed the part where we fired three coaches after handing you your overrated azzes on national television. You must have missed the part where we are headed to Shreveport for our bowl game. We are very disappointed with our season. What you Techies cannot get through your thick skulls is that we don’t give a rat’s azz in China what you have to say about it. You think that because you won the All Crap Conference that somehow your opinions carry weight. You think that because you are going to your first major bowl game in 43 years that you are now an authority on football. You think that because you are grossly overrated (hands down the softest defense of any team in the top 10 and one of the weaker schedules) and won 11 games that we care what you have to say. WE DO NOT. Know why? Because Georgia isn’t one of those 11 wins. Nothing has changed. All the hype and bravado and what did it get you? Another loss to Georgia. Now your nervous as all hell about who our new DC will be and it shows. After all of Willie can get it done agaist the great Paul Johnson how hard can it really be?
Good luck in the Orange Bowl. Maybe you will win and your seniors can put their 1-3 bowl record on rings.

Maybe some of you UGA fans should have come out to support your basketball team last night. They drew 4,000 fans, of which at least half were wearing orange and blue??? The Illinois fans drowned out not only the UGA fans, but the band during a time out. I thought that you guys supported all of your teams. Plus your coach had to go on the video screen to BEG your fans to buy tickets to the Tech game on the 5th!!
Unfortunately for him, most of the Tech fans who would help out and buy tickets for that game will be in Miami for the Orange Bowl.
