Washington ready for Independence Bowl
Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington said he has been preparing as if he will start against Air Force in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 27 in Shreveport, La.
Coach Paul Johnson practically put to rest on Thursday any chance that Joshua Nesbitt had of returning from his broken arm to play in the Dec. 27 bowl game.
“I hoped that he would get a chance to play,” Washington said. “That was a hard way to go down as a senior. But I have to prepare the same way.”
Washington, a redshirt sophomore, has played well since Nesbitt’s injury in the Nov. 4 game at Virginia Tech. He is averaging 54.7 rushing yards and 53.7 passing yards per game. But in games he has started, he is averaging 96.3 rushing yards and 97.3 passing yards.

Okay, now I feel like a real loser with that “first” crap!
Sucks for JN being a senior and all. I’m pleased with TW’s play – he got better each start. Weird irony, but JN’s injury was just GT’s seasons of bad “breaks”. IMO, many games this season could’ve gone better had a simple break occured FOR the Jackets instead of against.
Oh well, it is what it is. Win the Bowl Game, and begin prep for 2011!
Go Jackets! Happy Holidays to all!!

It’s hilarious seeing comments when Georgia fans told Sanford to shut up, that he was annoying them. I guess being a moron doesn’t make everyone like you.

I wonder if anyone from GT athletic dept lobbied for the SAN Fran Bowl on Jan 9th? It would have been similar playing Nevada who beat Boise St with a similar offense. Guess not….Nesbitt deserved that effort with all he has done for GT. Nothing against Tevin, just hate it for Josh.

TW has done a good job taking over for Joshua. Keep it up TW. Its time we won a bowl game. By the way, tell CPJ that you can throw good passes and tell your receivers
to put some glue on their gloves. Good Luck.

Tevin Washington came in the Va Tech game with the lead…. and blew it. He was then blown out (badly) at home against a bad Miami Team lacking their starting QB. Then Duke (yes, Duke) gave him a run for his money. Then UGA gave him (and Tech) one of their “9 times a decade” spankings.
Yeah…. As a UGA Student I LOVE Tevin!!

Good lord Sanford Drive. Are you so unproductive in your life that you have nothing better to do than to flame AJC blogs. I’d like to see a topic actually stay on damn topic once.
What may have been funny once or twice is now annoying and limits any kind of intelligent debate. And before you give me the “other folks are doing it” YOU are the one annoying both sides of the UGA/GT blog.
Give it a damn rest already since the AJC obviously won’t moderate their own boards like every other board gets moderated on the internet. You are annoying and childish and need to just stop making UGA fans look like baffoons

Sanford Drive!
how can u say a QB blew the games when he did his job! others around him did not!
how does Washington blow a lead?? do u know anything about football? The D blew it and our special teams! It was his first game ever against a BCS team so yeahhhh and he tied the game up! Miami has a strong D and once again most of that fell on the D’s shoulders! So next time u talk about Tech on a TECH blog know what the hell u are talking about! And UGA didnt not kill us….. we rushed for 410 yards so im pretty sure uga has their own problems at 6-6

Confused asks, “what does 42-34 mean”
There’s a story about it that the Techies do not like to talk about, Confused.
In November 2008, the Nerds from Norve Ave beat UGA in football for the only time in the last DECADE (10 years), 45-42. After said game, they would flood every blog on the AJC, UGA or not, Tech or not, bombarding the comment section with “45-42 hahahahahaha”, among other simply annoying mouth thrashings aimed toward upsetting the UGA fanbase.
Well, it worked. During their year of glory, they successfully instilled as much HATE into most UGA fans hearts as Tech has had toward UGA for all of time. Since they annyed the living s____ out of us for that year, they are getting the treatment they dished out, 10 fold. They deserve every bit of it. UGA beat Tech “42-34″ this year, so the constant score you see is a reminder that they are the JV team in the State of Georgia.
I cannot tell you how much fun it is to see the Nerds get upset, and act like reminding them of a final score in a rivalry game as a means of bragging rights is the most classless and demeaning thing a soul could do. So as long as it upsets them, I will contine to dish out the same tratment they gave us.
It’s a double edged sword Techies. You hate us, and we HATE you too.
42-34 hahahahahahha

UGA and Richt “were duped into scoring the TD in the GT” game, Yeah, like 8 points made it a closer game. GT kids ………………8 IS a larger number to LOSE by than 1.
GT fans live in this lil alternative universe that they create …………… losing by 8 IS better and that Ethel St really IS a safe place to live and that losing 9 out of 10 games to Mark Richt is a sign that GT is getting better and that CPJ is fabulous in comparison and that UGA ’s gorgeous women love to marry GT men. That is a dream created by nerds.

By definition
December 18th, 2010
9:33 am
A football game is usually won, by definition, by the team who scores the most points. Indeed in my lifetime, while in HS, we played in some regional playoff games and in the event of a tie at the end of regulation time, the team with the best stats like first downs, total yds would win. Penetration rules would win out.
In the UGA GT game there were no such penetration rules in place. GT had about 1,300 yds in O and 34 passing yds. AHAHAHAHAHAHA
UGA scored 8 more than GT (even to this day poor CPJ thinks 8 makes him look smarter than a loss by 1) and so by any definition ………….UGA won and won for the 9th time in 10 games.
Not even close is the sad lil GT game with UGA. Oh, if you go off on the UGA – Florida series to make you nerds feel better …………………we ALSO OWN them over the entire series.
By the way, regarding Nesbitt’s bowl memories ……………..he has zlich. GT has lost ALL of them in his pathetic era. CPJ and bowls? Same stat ……………..loser he is.
Man, CPJ was really wanting to bolt in the event of the Mullen to Florida thing. Man, he wanted that MSU job. He actually thought that he would get it. Waddaya mean that Mullen is not off to U of F?? @%$#@
Poor guy.

Give them hell Washinton. These kid deserves the start and I hate it for Josh, but it is time to look at the future for GT. Washington really has to impress if he wants this starting position next year. This whole team needs to play with some serious motivation and go out with a win. I am taking nothing away from Air Force I respect what those kids do and are going to do with thier futures, but I really want to see the defense play lights out and get some 3 and outs and the offense to hold on to the damn ball and run it down thier throats.

Tevin’s rushing/passing numbers are deceiving. As the leader on offense, it is his job to get touchdowns. Ave. points per game under Tevin are down by 10 points. He is not sustaining drives into the end zone….

By definition, …….WHAT?! Have you EVER been confused as superDawg? Yes, uga won the game. In fact, you are correct in stating that uga has the overall win/loss record against us. I’m not sure WHY you pup fans don’t understand CPJ’s desire to let ya’ll score…I don’t know how many times explaining it will help…does this help? “Bark, bark! Bow wow…yelp, yelp, yelp”. One question; WHY, if uga is so great, do they have half the national championship trophies as Tech? Nice little collection of wins, though.

For people who constantly brag about how smart and brilliant they are, Techies sure do have some short memories. I mean, 2008 isn’t exactly ancient history. We all remember very vividly how obnoxious and unbearable Techies were after 45-42. All you have to do is dig up some old AJC blogs to see some of the absolutely assinine things that they were saying. Now Sanford Drive harmlessly posts the most recent final score and Techies get all up in arms like he slapped their mom in the face. They start running their mouths about “class” and act all high and mighty like they’ve never ran their fat mouths about UGA. I have never seen a bigger effing joke of a fan base in all my life. You idiots have no integrity or credibility. Brace yourself for a long and excruciating off season Techies. You’ve earned every minute of it.

how are tevin washington numbers better than nesbitt? anyone who knows football can tell nesbitt is better than tevin. tevin would be perfect at ga southern or some other FBS school but here playing with the big boys he is just too small. another PJ recruit who doesnt match up well with big boys of the acc and sec. he might have a shot against air force though as they are about equal. but in no way is tech better with washington or any other qb running that offense ther than nesbitt or someone like him.

I am completely obssessed with the incredible Georgia Institute of Technology. I realize that I could NEVER be accepted at such a nationally ranked school. I don’t care that my UGA lack of an education is so evident in the sophomoric posts and infantile humor that I use. I utilize dozens of screen names (dawgfan, Sanford Drive, 30-24, etc.) to give the impression that there are many Dawg fans like me.
My obsession is in evidence all over both UGA and Tech blogs. I post at all hours of the day and night. These blogs are the most significant expression in my life, which is the result of having no friends, no girl friends, no job, and no hope. I blame my own shortcomings on others which is why I enjoy spending so much time on these blogs criticizing Tech. My obsession is one of hatred, bitterness, and envy. I am dawgfan.

Nice post dawgfan. I understand your obsession well because I am dawgfan also. Ever notice how Sanford Drive and dawgfan support each other’s posts? That’s because we’re the same poster, or imposter to be accurate. Why do I obsess and spend so much time on these blogs spewing venom about the finest school in this state? It’s because I was rejected by Tech and I am determined to deride anyone and anything that represents Tech. It’s the only way I can get back at the school. I sit behind a computer screen posting taunts and inaccurate statements to be disruptive on these blogs.Because I can use multiple screen names I can have multiple posts to ‘pile on’ but the distortion and obsession is identical regardless of the name that I post under. I am a sad, pathetic and lonely person with nothing better to do with my life than post this type of drivel to fuel my obsession. If I did have a life I would spend my time doing other things. The proof of my obsession is in the frequency and hatred of my posts. I am dawgfan, I am Sanford Drive, and I am a loser.

If you must know, I live on the Tech blog because I am so embarrassed about my Dawgs. Did you know that we were 3-5 (a losing record for my fellow Dawg fans) in the SEC and 6-6 overall? I know that Tech as a 6-6 record also, but at least the Tech fans have a great school. UGA? We have a mediocre school with basket weaving degrees that everyone makes fun of including other schools. All we have in Athens is a football program that is irrelevant in the SEC and in the nation, and a girls gymnastics team. That’s it, that’s all that Athens offers. So, when the football team is god awful like it has been for two years people like myself have nothing better to do than to go on other team blogs and insult other teams. That way I feel better about my poor dawgies.

All I am left with is the hope (and prayer) that I can associate with a successful Dawg football program. But no, UGA has let me down again this year. So, I guess I’ll hang around here and feel miserable about the Dawgs and maybe I can taunt some of these Tech fans with my garbage posts. Would you like for me to post some scores and Shreveport?

First, I said that approx. 75% of the players on the two deep are Chan recruits. I went back and counted… Its actually 27 of 44 (which is 61%). But even still, the top two RB are CPJ recruits (Anthony Allen is a transfer that came because of CPJ). Top two receivers are CPJ recruits. Top KO returner is CPJ recruit. The #2 tackler on the team is CPJ recruit. I’d say CPJ’s recruiting is just fine.

On top of that I feel pretty inadequate as a Dawg fan with our football team down.

anthony allen came in thinking he was going to play for gaily and paul johnson convinced him to stay or he just chose to stick around, either way your team is not the same without nesbitt ,a gaily recruit, and you mentioned the top players on your team are pj recruits but where do those guy rank in the acc? saying your the top player at tech right now is not saying much.

Puppies, add 2010 Florida to the long list of top notch elite programs in need of a head coach that didn’t even look in Mark Richt’s direction. If UGA is so wonderful and prestigious, why have the big boys NEVER came calling? Do you think Richt wouldn’t drop you clowns like a bad habit if somebody threw some Florida money at him? Well, maybe not. He seems pretty content racking up wins against the Utah States and Colorados of the world. Oops, I meant Missy State, uh, I mean, well nevermind I suppose.

Ok, so I’m redneck trailer trash and my team the pitiful Georgia Bulldogs (see I can actually spell the mascot correctly every now and then) has had a losing season in the SEC and a losing season after the loss to come in the Liberty Bowl. Redneck Georgia fans like myself prefer to ignore our miserable state of affairs in our own program and try to feel better about our program by criticizing other programs. We hate AU now because we got smacked in the face by Cam and company. We hate UF because they literally own us like a rented mule with Alzheimers. I say Alzheimers because we conveniently forget every year about the prior year shellacking and forecast winning the SEC East and going to the SECCG every year.
UGA didn’t win a single game against a program with a winning record. Not One Single Game. Our only claim to fame this year is being the fourth best academic college in the state despite having the largest enrollment. We are embarrassed with the revelation that we are the nations least serious academic institution with our Top Party School designation. We are also embarrassed about being referred to by other schools in the SEC as THUGA due to the arrests of nearly a dozen players in less than a year as well as the DUI arrest of our married AD in the company of a mistress. UGA is also exremely embarrassed to be the recipients of the Fulmer Cup Award as the bottom program in the nation with the most arrests of our football players.
Frankly, the only thing that UGA fans can do now is to go on the Tech blogs and make fools of ourselves trying to convince smarter fans that UGA really matters. It appears that no one at Tech really gives UGA any respect and that is frustrating for fans like myself. I try to remind them of scores of past games and hope that might anger the Tech fans but it doesn’t seem to be working. Instead, it is the Tech fans that are laughing at me and poking fun at my insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. Of course, that just enrages me more and motivates me to spend my entire day on these blogs desperately trying to feel better about myself and my Dawg football program when the truth is that no one cares about UGA and UGA has disappeared completely from the national scene.
I’m trying everything that I can to upset these Tech fans but it just doesn’t seem to be working. I am a failure and so is my team.

The scores don’t seem to work and that only makes us look like adolescents. We use Tech $ux, nerds, trekkies, etc. and nothing seems to bother them. It’s just so frustrating being a Dawg fan these days.

Right, so all those CPJ recruits that I mentioned have somehow managed to unseat older more experienced Chan recruits because Chan was SUCH AN AWESOME RECRUITER, right? I will freely admit that recruiting D-1 talent was not expected to be CPJ’s strength when he came in. He was at Georgia Southern and then at Navy. He was brought in for his system. The AD at GT realized that GT is never going to be able to compete in recruiting with the likes of Alabama, UF, UGA, Auburn, and FSU on a regular basis. We area research-focused technical institute. We have higher overall academic standards, and we accept fewer academic qualifiers. No, our football players aren’t significantly smarter than most other schools, but they are smarter on average. In 2007, our football team’s SAT scores were about 100 points higher than the SEC average.
All that to say that I have actually been pleasantly surprised with some of the staff that CPJ has brought in and how our recruiting has seemed to improve every year since he got here. We’ve gotten some key recruits out of NC and VA.

and gt2011 i also read where you think that ga tech only lost on the scoreboard to uga. what are you thinking? the only way ga tech gets that much yardage is by running 93 plays. look at the avg yards gain and you will see uga avg just as much yardage as tech while running 48 plays . and uga still gained close too 500 yards. uga was never in danger of losing that game or the one before that because techs offense is not built to come from behind which tech was the whole game. uga scored at will. the only way that game is close on the scoreboard is because of teh three turnovers uga had. thats like taking points off the board. 21 points to be exact.

chans recruits were recruited to play in the pro style offense so its only fitting that pj recruits, that are recruited to run that armed forces style of offense, unseated chans player as they just simply did not fit for that offense. mostly chans linemen. again most of gailys recruits are gone, the good ones anyways. chan is a better recruiter as far as getting talent than pj but that is not saying much. chan had his work cut out for him at tech as the better players in ga most of the time will choose uga over tech 95 percent of the time.

Sanford Drive get’s it’s name from the TV hit series Sanford & Son, the story of poor junkyard owners in a bad part of town. What would be more fitting for UGA’s stadium than Sanford & Son Drive, home of the Junkyard Dawgs, from the University (sic) of Georgia, The Cesspool of the South. UGA shortened the name to Sanford Drive when students and alumni complained that they were getting laughed at and ridiculed so badly by other team fans. Yep, we are the true junkyard of the South!

I guess we will see how CPJ’s recruits will do. I will say that you already touched on why CPJ and his system are good for GT. As you rightly point out, most top recruits are going to pick UGA over GT (academics are usually the main reason cited by top recruits that pick GT over UGA). So why would we want to run a pro style offense and try to compete for the same recruits as UGA, Alabama, and FSU? Why would we want to run a Spread and compete for the same recruits as Auburn and UF? So we bring in a coach to run a completely different scheme and look at a different pool of recruits. That was a major reason why we also moved to a 3-4 on D, because we can look at different types of recruits for the front 7 than most other schools (although UGA moving to a 3-4 roughly three days after we did, surely didn’t help on this front).

I am really proud of UGA, Sanford Drive. All season they were able to play down to the level of their opponent (so did GT by the way). In the GT game, we tried everything to give you game, and you just wouldn’t take it. So we had to miss an extra point just to help you win. And even after you had the game completely in hand with no chance to lose, you still tried to give us one more chance that we never should have had.
If I were a UGA fan, I would be disappointed by the performance of the 5-star talent and disappointed by the poor coaching (Todd Grantham’s choke signal, REALLY, REALLY?!?!?) Tech fans can certainly be disappointed about this season, but we don’t have to be disappointed that our talent under-achieved or disappointed in our coaching.

It is anyone’s to win. CPJ always puts his skill players in a competition in spring practice. That’s how the QB position will sort itself out. Tevin has done fine but he will have to earn his spot on the roster next year.

I do not believe Vad Lee will be able to come in and start right away. He was looking at enrolling early, and if he’d would have done that, I think he’d would’ve had a good chance to start. But he is not arriving at GT until summer, so there is no way he starts next season. HOWEVER, I think Tevin is not guaranteed to start next year. We have some decent QB’s (Sims and Days) that could push him in the spring.

If you cannot take it, simply do not dish it. Tech will one day win this game again. It may be next yera, it may be several years form now. And based on what I see Tech fans getting so mad about, when that day comes, you guys better not even think about talking tash….. but you will….. so you better understand why UGA fans are doing it today – next Thanksgiving.

this game will let you tech guys know just how good or bad the recruiting is now that PJ is there. if tech is blown out then this will let you guys know that the players that pj is bringing in on offense are just what i have said all year..div 1aa or FBS players. even if the game is close it proves it too as GA tech is supposed to blow out aremd forces teams

I have to back up the notion discussed earlier about the new breed of hate that UGA fans feel towards the lowly bugs. Previous to the 2008 45-42 win by Tech, I never gave the bugs much thought. It was always good to beat them but most true football fans knew that UGA was the superior team in a more prestigious league and a win over GT was pretty much expected much like the annual bowl loss by the same.
However, once GT finally won a game the bug fans were so stinking obnoxious (ex Saint Simmons) for so long that its hard to not truly despise all Tech fans. Add a truly rude and bloated coach to the mix and the disgust is magnified three fold.
Thankfully for the good guys, the universe has returned to order and the dawgs can expect another long string of tech trouncings. (ok, that’s not a word)
I also have to add a long loud smirk to the idea of these tech football players valuing their degrees. Can you show me even one football player of late that received an advanced technical degree? I know the UGA players tend to go after the lesser degrees also but we don’t claim otherwise.
So there you have it…

I wonder if I’ll get to watch the game. Tech this year wears black stockings like Georgia. Now why decide to do that when Tech wore white stockings when Calvin Johnson played wearing that? What’s so wrong with wearing school colors? CPJ has to go back to school loyalty like his first year with the old gold. Why allow Missouri to always take it from us? Is there some deal made with them to let them wear it if we don’t for money they would pay us in exchange for a promise to wear only gold or vegas gold? The black is copying Georgia. Why not copy Auburn? They at least have Heisman as a link with us. We found a dark blue link with Auburn. We have white as a link. Switch their orange with our old gold. Our uniforms are not conservative enough looking and change each year too much. AU would have beaten the Hell out of us this year, just like they did against South Carolina who wore the same tapered mod side striped pants. So the older traditional Heisman-linked uniforms beat the younger mod uniforms. How about that. Well, a white background was mod for the traditional AU uniforms for that game. Tech should copy the Hell out of Auburn. Notice we aren’t ranked in the top 50 next year, and AU is.

I’m so much smarter than everyone and Tech AD is afraid to fire me, b/c he can’t afford too. So I’ll leave your program no better or worse than when I saved it; on my terms and when I’m ready.
