The blog will be on hiatus for a week or so over the Christmas Holiday, but shoul be back around Dec. 30.
As a gift to Tech fans, I’ve blocked the score of a certain something-something from being posted in the commentary section of the blog.
However, I’ll unblock it when I return.
Safe travels, and I hope to see you in Miami.

UGA has 7 of the Top Players in Florida and all the top players in the State of Georgia committed to UGA. This after your 1 good year since 1950, and after our worst year in the Coach Richt Era.
Good Luck

Does anyone else see what I see? My god almighty, look at all the foreigners in this video! Was this the Taliban fraternity of Georgia Tech? AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!
Isn’t that cute. ‘Bat and Surinam are excited about their win over Georgia last year. Why would anyone voluntarily go to a school like this? There is VT, TT, and Southern Tech as options if you still want to go to a technical school. Probably won’t be in class with Islamic terrorists that way. Just sayin’.
Yeah, I’d be proud too Tech fans….ahahahhhaahahahahahahahaha

You know fellow Techsters,
While I am not a big Crimson Tide fan, Tide Alum has it right – all the UGA posters were not here 2-3 years ago when Tech program was mediocre.
Now that Tech has the 10-2 team, the Conference Championship Team, the Orange Bowl team, the spot UGA 18 points in Athens and then ran over them like doormat team. The UGA posters live here.
Think about it: The one thing that these UGA folks have to cling to is that they beat Tech this year. Their football team is 7-5, with just one big time win, GT.
I want these UGA folks to stay. They beat the superior Football program and that is ALL they have to cheer about.
Paul Johnson is the best thing to happen to GT since Bobby Dodd and the real UGA folks are crapping their britches about it. UGA fans post here because they realize that they are about to become an automatic win for Tech much like they are for Florida.
Can we get UGA as our homecoming patsy?
Keep posting UGA, please, please, please keep posting – I love ALL of your posts!

I’ll have what the above guy is having! Yep, Tech’s best team in 2 decades still lost to one of worse Georgia teams I’ve ever seen.
Yep, the future is bright indeed. Yes sir, PJ is already getting the next Nesbitt, Dwyer, and Thomas. Not! And he never win. All your studs are Gailey’s players…..if some go early, you guys are $crewed!
Don’t flatter yourself a$$wipe. We are here b/c of m,St.Simons, Yellow Fuzz, and Ramble On. At least I am!
Before last year, I never had to read their garbage on our blog and then we had to put up with those tools all freaking year long. Before that fluke of a victory, I never ventured over to these blogs. Why would I voluntarily associate myself with people like this. I left ya’ll alone.
Now, it is my(our) turn!
Some people actually enjoy blogging about the team and sport they love. Then opposing fans like me ruin it for everybody.

Merry Christmas and Happy Shreveport to the entire, azz hole dog nation!
1. Please be careful as you begin your trek across Northern Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
2. If you hit Texas or Arkansas please stop and ask for directions.
3. Please invest in a new road atlas. I hear they have them marked down at all Fred’s and Wal Mart for $4.88. And only $4.99 at Dollar General.
4. Please, before leaving, turn your watch back one hour and your calendar back 30 years. This should be pleasant for you as it will put you near the early 80’s which you own!
5. Please play your Harry Munson Glory Years 8 track tape the entire way over to get your juices flowing so to speak.
6. Please change your oil before you go.
7. Please remember to leave some road kill for those traveling behind you that are more needy.
8. Please DO NOT cook your road kill at any of the rest stops along the way (at least the first ones you come to in each state).
9. I know Georgia travels “well” but please also try to travel discretely.
10. Please, if anything falls off of your truck, just leave it. Remember, there are TWO Wal-Mart’s in Shreveport
11. Please try some of the crawdad stew at the west bound rest area in Vicksburg MS.
12. Please clean up your tailgate trash before entering the Shreveport stadium
13. Please do not leave the stadium in the 3rd or 4th quarter if your team is taking another BEAT DOWN
14. Please do not drive into Kirby Smart’s Birmingham subdivision on your way home.
15. Please do stop by Legion Field in Birmingham and claim your Papa Johns bowl victory for next year.
16. Please refrain from calling or emailing President Adams and Damon Evans until you get home
17. Please make sure your Cable bill is paid up so you can watch real teams play in real (January) bowls.
18. Please make sure your Rivals bill is paid up so you can feel better about yourself and your program before signing day.
19. When spring gets here, please share with us how great your new weedwacker is
20. You are always preseason national champions in my book!

It is truly shocking that UGA with majors like animal health, printmaking, dance, and film studies has a wider recruiting base. One thing Tech fans know- education first, athletics second. No need to live vicariously through our student athletes- simply applaud and appreciate their efforts. It is fun to watch the small minded UGA fans whose day is made on “that big ol’ lineman” we just signed. If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny.

Amen brotha!!!! The ACC is a disgrace to real college football fans all across the country. The fact that they even have an automatic bowl bid, after years of proving they are nowhere near capable of competing with other BCS conferences, is laughable.
I suggest, in the season’s spirit of giving, all the ACC football programs should voluntarily disband and give their equipment to the needy, ie; local high school football teams.

Sad to see so many ugly postings on this blog. It is obvious that most of these blowhards never went to a college, much less UGA or Tech. I guess when you have nothing to post about but the Shreveport Bowl, you have to go bother other people. Great year for Tech, great future for the program. Merry Christmas to Tech and Georgia grads alike, even the ugly wannabees on the blogs.

What an ignorant, rascist fool. To make comments about schools having too many Asian men is simply disgusting. Look, to hate a school is ignorant. All Georgians should be proud of the national and international recognition that our colleges bring. Why would anyone be so full of hate as to stoop to rascist remarks? Honestly, almost any college graduate would show more class than that. Shameful….

“The fact that they even have an automatic bowl bid, after years of proving they are nowhere near capable of competing with other BCS conferences, is laughable.”
Actually, the 3 conferences with the highest bowl game winning percentage (a great way to measure success against other conferences) are::
(1) PAC 10 at 53.6%
(2) SEC at 53.0%
(3) ACC at 52.4%.
Do some research before you spout off at the mouth. Congratulations on beating GT this year, but good grief … don’t get so giddy with excitement that you pi$$ your pants and sound like an idiot.

“What the hell is so great about beating 6 teams who are NOT even in a bowl game ?
That is not a great year.
Neither too, is LOSING 24-30 for the 8th time in 9 years against Coach Richt.
The recruiting details prove beyond all doubt that UGA will continue to be MUCH BETTER than Tech.
And, would you lame butt Tech fans (both of you) please post some more about DEFENSE, which Tech has NOT had ANY of since Paul Johnson FIRED JON TENUTA and replaced him with the linebackers’ coach at So Miss as your “Defensive Coordinator.”
I did NOT say Tech has TOO MANY ASIAN MEN, what I said is the fact is that Tech has MORE ASIAN MEN than Tech has ALL WOMEN on campus.
FACT.
Class ?
Now we are talking about Class in a Tech blog ?
Good Lord Above. Tech is renowned for the POOR LOSERS you are.
Tech students are not suffering from posts on their blogs giving it BACK to them, that which they sowed themselves pre-game.
Tech students are suffering all over campus, while you coach tells you to hit us in the face, instead it is the crime-ridden drug infested borders of your campus that causes Tech students so much suffering.
And your suffering continues as, your damn precious IMAGE, that somehow being Number 38 in the US News and World Report is something to BRAG about – while the fact is that Tech is WAY WORSE ACADEMICALLY in your student-athletes than at UGA.
ACC in bowl games ?
83-84-2.
And, if North Carolina doesn’t beat Pitt tomorrow, ACC will be 83-85-2 in bowl games.
If Boston College, does not beat Southern Cal tomorrow, the ACC will be 83-85-2.
And, if Clemson doesn’t beat Kentucky Sunday, the ACC will be 83-86-2 in bowl games.
The biggest culprit in the ACC of LOSING BOWL GAMES has been in fact, Georgia Tech who has LOST 7 OF THE LAST 10 TECH BOWL GAMES.
You are quoting the combined bowl records of ACC teams, in bowl games. Excuse me, the ACC gets NO DAMN CREDIT for winning a bowl game if the team in question was NOT IN THE STINKING ACC with a LOSING BOWL RECORD.

The team that wins gets bragging rights. Last year the Bugs won. And they got braggin rights.And they had the better team.
This year Dawgs won,had the better team( Tech just beating jax state and Duke and a cream puff schedule does not make you the better team)Beat Tech, and has bragging rights as the best team in the state.
Got a problem with that…there is a simple solution…Win next year.
That IS how it works. Except maybe at ESPN.Or the AJC.Or on the Tech blog.

“UGA has players coming in next season such as :”
Who cares how good your recruiting class is when you’ve shown the repeated recent ability to drag them down to playing at a mediocre level? Personally I wouldn’t be bragging about recruiting classes when it just makes your team (and coaching) look bad.
And yeah keep posting the score, it just makes you look even more bitter about your crappy season (and as much of a jerk as the Tech fans who did the same thing all last year).

Hard to believe that there are so many ignorant rascists on this board. To say ugly things about a school because it has Asian and students is unbelievable. It shows a lack of class. As I stated before, most UGA posters here couldn’t be college graduates because most educated people would never say anything about another race. If you are going to make these remarks about Jihadists and Asians, go find the KKK blog. You are ignorant and will fit right in with a bunch of Neo Nazis skinheads! Stick to football or get lost.

I know this is about football, but to the indvidual who questioned Tech’s academic credentials, look at the facts. Tech’s entering Freshman class had a 1345 SAT average score last year, more than 100 points higher than Uga’s entering class. Five of Tech’s engineering programs are ranked in the top 5 by US News. From personal experience, my son got admitted during early admissions at Uga this month, and he was deferred at Tech until spring. Don’t tell me that it is harder to get into Uga. Uga had 20,000 applications this fall and is hard to get in due to shear numbers. It is a good school, not in the elite class like Duke, Vandy, Wake, UNC, UVA and Tech. Oh, and we have a pretty good football team too!
