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.

Last night I witnessed a macho Tech student attempt to punch a UGA fan in the face like St. Johnson ordered him too. Little did he know, that chica UGA fan could whoop some serious a$$!!! That tool had his grill rearranged!!!

Everyone, Joey Hamilton (Tech’s last and only hope for a Heisman) is currently panhandling at the Spring St. exit. I let him clean my windshield for me last night and gave him a few bucks for it. Please, swing by there if you can. I believe he’s living in the biggest box around the corner of Starship. Thanks.

Why doesn’t Tech give Johnson so much needed plastic surgery this off season. He’s going to trip over that excess skin dangling from his chin one day

You know it’s a bad season when the men’s hoop team gets a bigger signature win than the football team

To all you homophobic UGA fans out there, listen up!!!! Georgia Tech proudly supports the largest gay fan base community in the nation!!! We make up at least 25-35% of the male student body!! They are open-minded and welcoming, while you all are stuck in the dark ages and bigots!!!

On ‘Cops’ last night they were in Atlanta and I swear they were chasing Nesbitt, Tarrant, Jones, Bennett and Morgan.

You earned the razzing(alias Super Dawg) if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen you dumb ass piece of dog crap. This is a Tech blog and we don’t need idiots on here. You know the dawgs are a terrible hopeless team and going to Shreveport proves it. Texas A&M will beat you by 3 touchdowns. How does it feel to support a unranked team? We are going to a BCS bowl in the Orange Bowl and are ranked in the top 10. Now who had the best team and season this year??? The UGA game was not near as important to us as the ACC Championship game. We know we are better than you.

To all delusional disfunctional dawg fans (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), You are so afraid of Paul Johnson because you know your days are limited. Paul Johnson is moving our program in a direction that it has not seen since the 50’s. Mark Richt on the other hand is moving your program to a 7-5 type season on an annual basis. Get use to it, Paul Johnson is here to stay. Now it is time for all of you to get back to work. I want each one of you to clean the toilets, wash the dishes, sweep the floors, and forget about your breaks. You have already wasted too much time and taken excess breaks.

As usual YECH fans live in never never land.
30-24 is reality.

Your best team in a decade STILL lost to Georgia’s worse team in a decade.
Georgia OWNS TECH.
Deal with it.

How quickly you forget 45-42, so I will promptly remind you. Tech Owns UGA. Get use to it. I would be ashamed if I couldn’t win more than 7 games in the SUC.

JustUp, that’s it?! That’s the best you have? Bless your little heart! I point out the facts and you come back with “stupid” and a GED commercial? If you’re going to run with the big dogs, you’re going to have to stop pissin’ like a puppy! I’ll give you credit for avoiding “yo momma” jokes.

JC,………..WHO?!

Tommy, have you forgotten about lsu….you leg humpers were riding their coat tails pretty heavy all this season…..the pot calling the kettle black…..typical.

GTBandwagonMaster, the game isn’t until Jan. 5th. All the crap bowls will be played BEFORE new years……like the one in shreveport! However, I’ve got GREAT news for ya….you can get the internet ALMOST anywhere….we COULD be blogging from Miami. Shreveport MAY not have discovered the internet, yet….there may be a drop off on the blogs.

Joke by Coke, well hell……..SOMEBODY gave us those four trophies!!! Denial…..tis an ugly thing!

cajun pumpkin, AND uga fans should feel right at home in shreveport…..trash EVERYWHERE and no matter how much they beg them to pick up after themselves…..they can’t teach old dawgs new tricks!

just to recap, it’s simple……uga had more points at the end of the game! There are other excuses that will be tossed out there….fluke, Tech was looking past an irellevant uga as they focused on their conference championship….stuff like that. uga scored more than we did, though….thanks to so many of your kind friends….we get reminders.

Will we see you here often when you go back to finish middle school macrotech? I do wish you luck with that and as Jackette did, I also wish you luck getting your GED. It is Christmas so good luck.

GTBandwagonmaster, OR we could just use the ol’, “We’ve had the most injuries in ALL of college football” excuse! How about that #1 excuse?! “The sec refs are after us because we did a little dance”! THAT one seemed REAL popular this season!

If official. Time to strip the BCS automatic bowl bid from the worst BCS conference (the ACC) and give it to the far more deserving Mountain West.

How soon you forget 7-51. I look for more of the same next season after Gailey’s all ACC everything players go bye-bye.

Even though Iowa is twice as far away as GA Tech the Orange Bowl is expecting double the Iowa fans over the little Tech bunch.
