Old Blind Dawg, if that realignment were to occur, I would hope it would fix this horrible every-other-year home schedule Tech has now. I don’t see how this helps BC, but since it was written in the Boston news, I guess they think it does. I like the idea of having FSU on our schedule every year, since they are more-or-less a natural rival, definitely more so than Miami. It would keep our most natural rival (Clemson) on the schedule every year, and hopefully VT could be our permanent non-division opponent. Sounds pretty good to me, IF it were to happen.

Personally, I would think the best alignment would be a northern-atlantic division and a southern-atlantic division. Put Tech, FSU, Miami, Clemson, and two of the NC schools in the southern division, and all the rest in the northern division. Of course that would probably give VT an automatic to the ACC championship every year, since the northern division would be pretty weak. But it would make for a killer southern division, with rivalries not-unlike Tech’s rivals back when we were in the SEC. It would definitely help both attendance and recruiting.

Not bad my brother ….How about you?? I sure do wish my baseballl team would make some noise in our tournament & get put in tech’s regional but we took a step back last night getting beat @ home by Mercer!!! My stepson was happy tho….he’s finshing up his masters there this summer!!!

Doing good here too, thanks. I don’t want the mutts in Tech’s regional. We always fold in the regionals, and I wouldn’t want the mutts to be the cause of that….LOL I THINK Mercer beat Tech a few weeks ago too, but I may be wrong on that. At any rate, there are worse things that could happen

BYRDDAWG, that is in my opinion, the number one reason DRad needs to get behind some kind of move like this. It would definitely help Tech financially, because every year Tech would have a decent home schedule, not just every other year.

What happened on the series that was signed with Bama?? I really enjoyed watching the one Gailey had with Auburn too!! No need to put a Kansas on the schedule when you can add a UT, Auburn, Bama etc & renew the old SEC rivalries…..also that would cut down on travel costs for the away part and get ya a sellout on the home game!!!! Plus that would be an attractive game for tv!!!! what ya think????

BYRDDAWG, there was never any clear answer as to why Tech POSTPONED the series with Bama. Kansas is on the schedule because Ole Miss DROPPED Tech from a previously arranged series. I always wanted Tech to get back in the SEC, and we would have if not for Dooley’s veto in the early 80s, so the more of our old rivals that we play, the better.

Actually, that last attempt to re-enter the SEC might have been in the late 70s, rather than the early 80s. Bear was still alive and he was, believe it or not, Tech’s number one sponsor in re-entering. Never understood Dooley’s rationale in joining the Mississippi schools (who hated Tech) and preventing it.

Gee, sorry GT fans, we accidentally let a few of our worst inmates lock themselves in the library, so they had access to a few computers. Apparently they got on this forum; they’re posting under sigs like byrddawg, kenny powers,gt fanatic, aaron and some other names. You have to forgive them though, it’s a huge mental strain to be a uga fan. We’re about to break the lock now, so they’ll be back on their meds soon…again, sorry ’bout that.

BYRD, my cousin grew up in Augusta. He moved to Gainesville years ago.
I frankly don’t like any Thursday night game, but since attendance will probably be low for WC no matter when we play, Thursday night will at least avoid the competition and traffic problems caused by the Chic’ File’ Classic, as well as any other games in the area that weekend. It’s sort of a lose-lose situation for Tech; we had just better win the game and win big.

Always amusing to see how many UGA fans are more concerned with following Tech blogs than their own. Thank goodness the WCU game is at night. I wish all the early games were night games….just more comfortable and healthy for all concerned.

I don’t like Thursday games, but they do say the biggest improvement is from Game 1 to Game 2, and CPJ will have a couple of extra days that week to motivate and adjust. Wish we would stop playing WCU, JSU, SCState, etc., altogether, but understand the financial necessities.

It was the Mississippi schools that were the most vocal about not letting Tech back in. If
i remember right had they been on board then everyone else would have been ok with it. I think it was Johnny Vaught that was the AD at Ole Miss at the time and really hated Tech. It tmay have been Tech beat them so much but not sure.
No real reason was ever given for Mississippi cancelling the seris but may have been Nutt chickened out as he knew he had no shot at stopping the Option. I think he was nuttts thinking he could get to the championship game and didn’t need a possible loss to an outside opponent.
Dooley quit playing Clemson supposedly because of some realienment in the SEC. But the real reason was at the time Clemson had a habit of beating them.
He had to fill the schedule with someone and had he been beating them like before Danny Ford the seris would still be in place. In the long run it was probably a bad decision as Clemson would have probably a lot more than they won.

Tony, that was mostly correct, except the Miss schools hated Tech because back in the 40s and 50s Dodd refused to play them on a regular basis. Since Dodd ruled the roost then, they considered it a slap in their faces, especially Vaught. Regardless of the opposition to Tech’s re-entry, if Dooley had supported it, along with the Bear, then Tech would now be in the SEC. So essentially, Dooley vetoed Tech’s re-entrance; I guess he didn’t want Georgia to have to live in Tech’s shadows again, which until Tech left the SEC, they had.

Who cares how many posters there are on the mutt blogs? Since every uneducated redneck in the state is a mutt fan, obviously there are more there than on the Tech blogs. As to any Tech fans who post on the mutt blogs, we only have the words of people like you for it. Most of us who regularly post on the Tech blogs NEVER bother to read the mutt ones; I have absolutely no interest in them. And I’m sure the overall percentage of mutts who post on our blogs FAR EXCEEDS the number of Tech posters on your blogs. Most, but not all, of the mutts who post here are ignorant rednecks. Fortunately, a few actually have intelligence and are, or seem to be, pretty decent folks. Their comments are welcome, and the banter amongst us is that of friendly rivals.
