Nesbitt not likely for Independence Bowl
Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt will likely not play in the Independence Bowl, coach Paul Johnson said on Thursday.
He said Nesbitt saw a doctor earlier in the day.
“[That's] Probably not going to happen,” he said. “That’d be a real reach, I think.”
Nesbitt broke his right arm in the loss at Virginia Tech on Nov. 4. A senior, Nesbitt has repeatedly said that he hoped to return in time to play in what would be his last game, though he sounded pessimistic about his chances after practice on Tuesday.
Even if he doesn’t play against Air Force on Dec. 27 in Shreveport, La., Nesbitt would leave as the ACC’s all-time leader in two rushing categories for quarterbacks: yards (2,806) and touchdowns (35). He’s seventh on Tech’s all-time career rushing yards list. He is responsible for 55 touchdowns, fourth-most in Tech history.

doesg it really matter,
Did you find a job yet? I still don’t understand why they fired you from your fryer job at Hardee’s. I thought you were really proud of that job although you did smell atrocious. Maybe you can find another job with your UGA degree. And then again maybe not, since UGA students graduate with a degree and Tech students graduate with an education. But hey, what’s college for except partying, right? Why worry about academics when we are the nation’s Top Party School? Go Dawgs!!!

It is a bummer being a UGA grad and being completely stupid though. That really sucks. I am so jealous of you Tech fans. If only I was smart enough to get in.

Come on and be honest, the only work you’ve ever done in an office is as a janitor. UGA offers janitorial degrees don’t they? I mean UGA is the Cesspool of the South so it would only be logical that you would have janitorial degrees.

You Tech doofuses make me so mad. I worked 6 years to get my degree at UGA and I will not stand for you nerds to insult me. I am a Dawg fan. That means I can come on this blog and taunt you nerds anytime I want because all Dawg fans are obnoxious like me, get it? I don’t care if you’re smarter. I don’t care that you make more money than I do. I don’t care if you have bigger homes and nicer cars than I could ever dream of, but I will NOT stand to be told the truth about being stupid. I am sensitive about that subject because I have been told that my whole life. You would feel the same way if you were dumb like me. You guys really make me mad!! Meanies!!! Go Dawgs!

Glad that we could make a fool out of a UGA graduate. Come back anytime for your arse whipping young Spike, dawgfan, Sanford Drive, superDawg, GDBurdell, etc. You need some more screen names to hide behind so that we can expose you as the tool that you are. Don’t go away mad, just go away. Too funny!

Can you believe AJ sold his jersey for a few bucks? Which was dumber, the fact that he jeopardized his eligibility or the fact that he only got a few bucks for it? I mean this guy is supposedly an NFL caliber player. He sold out himself and the Dawgs for chump change.

Sorry but neither 42 or 34 is the correct answer to how many points in a three point shot. You lose… AGAIN. No wonder this was an official test question at the University (sic) of Georgia.

How many ineligible players did O’Leary have? Oh yea you Tech fans, don’t forget to eat at that waffle house in Shreveport you told us about last year. Ask for Violet, she is the best waitress. Her husband is a Tech graduate. He was a sports managment major and works on the pinball machines.
