Paul Johnson says SEC’s superiority all about perceptions
Paul Johnson says the SEC isn't the overwhelming beast it's made out to be. (Johnny Crawford)
The same week that the top of the BCS rankings are punctuated with three SEC teams and the overwhelming shadow beast of Athens prepares to bring its football team to Georgia Tech, Paul Johnson said precisely what we’ve come to expect from him.
To capsulize his thoughts: Whatever.
Johnson, whose weekly news conferences can be relative standup comedy dotted with sarcastic jabs, was unusually low key Tuesday. But afterward, he addressed perceptions of the SEC’s Godzilla to the ACC’s Bambi, which filters down to the annual Georgia-Georgia Tech game. This subject has been one of Johnson’s pet peeves since he arrived at Tech in 2008 (and won at Georgia in his first season, after the Jackets had lost the previous seven in the series).
“It’s all perceptions,” Johnson said. “People will think what they’re going to think. There’s nothing I’m not going to do to change their mind.
“Personally, I think the conference thing is way overblown. How are you going to evaluate? Are you looking at the top two teams in the conference or are you going to take the conference as a whole? There’s four SEC-ACC games Saturday. Let’s see what happens. Who’s favored in the Clemson-South Carolina game? Who’s favored in the Florida-Florida State game? Wake-Vandy? I don’t know. But you see what I mean? Now, if we’re just talking about Alabama and LSU, that’s different.”
Johnson makes a point. While you can make a case that the SEC is the nation’s superior conference, the strength at the top – and certainly five consecutive BCS titles – exaggerates the differences between conferences from top to bottom. Not to diminish the accomplishments of Georgia during this nine-game winning streak, but even the most ardent Dogs supporter recognizes that the East Division is down this year.
Perceptions certainly play into this week. Johnson figures to milk this for all its worth to players. He’ll talk about how nobody’s giving Tech a chance, how Georgia’s already looking ahead to the SEC title game, how the Jackets have punched the Dogs in the mouth before and they certainly can do it again.
“Every coach does something,” he said, without getting specific. “You always take anything you can find or post, things that you think will get your guys ready to go.”
This is Johnson’s fourth season. Tech’s senior class is 34-17, including 1-2 against Georgia. In 2008, the Jackets won 45-42 as an underdog in Athens. In 2009, they lost 30-24 as a favorite in Atlanta. In 2010, as a 12½-point underdog in Athens, they accumulated 512 yards in offense but committed four turnovers and trailed 35-34 (on a missed extra-point attempt) until a touchdown by Washaun Ealey with 1:29 left.
The point being, there hasn’t been much difference between the two programs over the past three years.
Two years ago, Tech was where Georgia is at this week. The Dogs will pay for the SEC championship next week. In 2009, the Jackets had secured a spot in the ACC title game. The Georgia game was secondary in importance (as foreign a concept as that may be).
When asked if that played a role in the loss, Johnson said, “I don’t think that played into it at all. That was the week we had the NCAA [investigators] in here. That played into it a great deal. That played into it far more than [looking ahead to] the ACC championship.”
This year, there’s no question. This is Tech’s final game before a bowl. Johnson spent part of Tuesday reaffirming that while he thinks the Dogs are good, it’s not like Tech has been facing middle schools.
He was asked about the strength of the Dogs’ defensive line. He responded with some praise but added, “I don’t know. We’ve played some really good players. [North Carolina's] Quinton Coples is a first-round draft pick. [Clemson's] Brandon Thompson is a pretty good player. This won’t be the first good players we’ve seen.”
He was asked about Georgia tight end Orson Charles. He responded with some praise but added: “We’ve played against other tight ends who are really good. The tight end at Clemson [Dwayne Allen] is probably an early-round draft pick in the NFL.”
Johnson realizes his words won’t change perceptions. But the last thing you’re going to hear from him is any suggestion that his overshadowed program from the overshadowed conference can’t win Saturday. And, truth is, the past three meetings have affirmed as much.

I guarantee if Johnson ever got a job coaching an SEC school, he’d talk about how great it was to finally coach in the best conference in America. He’s an arrogant, obnoxious blowhard and when he voices his snarky little opinions, my response is the same as your one sentence second paragraph: whatever.

The top 2 teams in the SEC are excellent. The next two are pretty good. The bottom 8 are fair to pitiful.
The top 2 teams in the ACC are pretty good. The next two are better than average. The bottom 8 are fair to pitiful.
Outside of LSU and Bama there’s not a whole heckuva lot of difference in the two.

Uga sucks and their schedule is a fn joke. With the exception of Boise and SC (UGAG lost to) the rest of the schedule is against teams with a combined record of like 3 – 25. I mean, Vandy, KY, MISS St, Ole Miss, New Mexico Whomever, Coastal Carolina, Auburn, UF even sucks. GT will be the 3rd best team the mutts have faced. GT wins this one and LSU cleans UGA’s clock for the SEC Championship. Can’t wait to see it. THWG!

Great matchup for the dawgs. UGA is Good against Theron, has size and speed on def. Also, granthams second year facing the triple option will be helpful. Ga tech will have a tough time. 31-21 but really not that close. Tech scores on on a big pass play in first half.

The SEC winning 5 NC’s in a row is perception also I guess. It’s easy to see why Tech got 4 year probation for nothing. Johnson is arrogant. Let the ACC,big12,Pac 10 etc win 5 in a row, then crow. It’s obvious Johnson is Loyal to the ACC, and that’s fine…………But the SEC being the best the last 6-7 years is a little more than perception, and yes, we know SEC schools lose to ACC schools…

Maybe in order for the stadium to not be half red, which it always is, Tech officials can offer a free kiss for all Tech fans attending from a UGA cheerleader since there are literally no hot women that attend Tech? I think it’s a swell idea. Also, for us attending, do we need to have on our bulletproof vest on for our walk to the car? Don’t want to get mugged or shot on that dangerous campus.

How good is the SEC? 5 consecutive championships, by 4 different teams. 1/3 of the SEC has won the MNC in the last 5 years. That’s not tops heavy, that’s a dominant conference. Anyone who sees it otherwise is a damned fool or a blind homer.

Dawgs are either going to beat us by a mile or get stung in the final minutes. I don’t see room for a whole lot of GT dominance in this one. Determining factor will be GT’s defense. If Groh can scheme and adjust our young secondary into the game (like against Clemson) then the O will do the rest. If this is not the case, Tech’s chances are slim as always. No, we do not have the raw talent. We may never have that advantage over them. What we do have is a relatively exotic offense that is tough to simulate in practice, is efficient in the redzone (this year anyway), and provides defense through clock-control. Turnovers and special teams will be the subplots that have a big effect too.

Johnson is a funny character and a proven winner (#8 all-time winning percentage among active coaches with 100+ wins). The game is likely to be close and GT could win. The Dawgs will need to heed the advice of Larry Munson and “Hunker down one more time!” Watching the video of Matthew Stafford, Danny Ware, and Mohamed Massaquoi leading the winning drive in 2006 with Munson’s calls narrating would be a great addition to the Energy Bus as a motivational tool.

I really think Tech needs to come out of the gates in some other offensive formation. Like, start the game in shotgun, try a safe pass or two, then run the TO out of shotgun when the D has begun to back off. Then on the next possession line up Flexbone but throw it some more. It’s gotta be tricky or we’re gonna get matchup issues all night long.

Our hope is that Tech can play with the same effort and precision that they did against Clemson. If the Dogs play average, then Tech should win. If effort is not there or they put the ball on the ground or throw pop up passes, then it will be a long day. My hope is that they play well and inspired and make more plays. I just don’t see UGA being 9 out of 10 wins better than GT but they have made enough plays to make it that way. It is time that pattern changes!

1893 Reporter
November 22nd, 2011
4:53 pm
The day was November 4, 1893. A little history for you. The first match between Georgia and Georgia Tech.
I remember it like it was yesterday. We were gathered at Herty Field with our finest clothes, hats and smokeable tobacco. The ladies wore their shiniest of scarves and fluttered about like butterflies. Excitement was in the Athens air awaiting our rival’s arrival and the battle that was to take place.
The Georgia School of Technology (that’s what they called Georgia Tech at the time) Blacksmiths led by coaches Stan “Devil” Borleske and “Cheap” Casey Finnegan arrived by train and entered our fair city with arrogance and disregard for our lady residences. A few of Athens prettiest ladies drew faint at the sight of these bothersome and boorish city foot-ballers. They arrived to play our dear honest and trustworthy Georgia boys coached by Ernest Brown.
And so the game began. At one time early in the last half of the game, a Tech player announced to the crowd that he was the man of the match and that he would take the local woman of his choosing. A stone was hurled at this player, striking him a cruel blow to the head. He immediately ceased such announcements. At another time, after the coaches of the Tech team lifted the skirt of one of our fairer lady observers, one of the Athenians drew a knife and threatened revenge. The Tech coaches hurried themselves back to the game offering apologies and coins. Because of their vile nature, the Techs were poked and gouged with canes on plays toward the boundary lines. Some of the crowd had the privilege of the gridiron equally with the players.
True, that day the Blacksmiths defeated Georgia 28-6 on four scores by Leonard Wood, a thirty-three year old who did not matriculate at the Technology school. Travesty was called and agreed up.
The Techs as they departed our fair field announced loudly and to all that they had used a heterogeneous collection of Atlanta residents – a United States Army surgeon, a medical student, a lawyer, and an insurance agent among them, with here and there a student of Georgia’s School of Technology thrown in to give the mixture a Technological flavor. The scoundrels!
For this callous yet frank admission, our dear fans defended the integrity of the University by hurling rocks and other debris at the offending Tech players and chased the ill-mannered Blacksmiths back to their awaiting train.
Ahh, the days. A loss is made better by a hurled stone. I had not hurled any in quite some time. I will take a loss every eight years just to launch a few at the scoundrels.

There’s so little respect for our stadium it seems. Is anyone in red and black aware we STILL play on a field that John Heisman commissioned and helped to build with his own sweat? That was in 1913. 98 years on one field. Forgive us if it’s not a modern marvel of up-to-date seating layouts. It’s still the oldest and winningest stadium in your sport. Yes, yours holds 90k people and ours can hold 57k when brim-packed. But it’s not like there’s nothing to be said for the legendary nature of the place itself. I hope we NEVER move to another site just to build a bigger stadium. There are some advantages – our fans are closer to the field than nearly any other stadium…especially in the North endzone. It can still get painfully loud (ask Clemson.) We love it.

georgia has won the majority of the games and the majority of the games lately.

because
1) they have easier recruiting due to the academics.
2) they play in the almighty sec
3) they have top 5 recruiting classes year in and year out (but don’t more championships)
4) their athletic association is flush with $’s
5) their student body is three to four times larger than techs (thus a larger fan base)
with all that being said, if you don’t win…. you’ve underachieved.

Nobody says ya’ll are nerds; you just do not beat us very often, and your stadium will never be full unless you plug all the exits and fill it with WATER! The topic was SEC football, and even a weak east is better than much of the ACC. We ain’t talkin’ roundball,where the ACC comes back strong! Ya’ll may slip one in on us, but the SEC is the real deal in football, period! Alabama, LSU, Arkansas (all west, granted) and a much-improved UGA team will help carry the SEC while some teams are down……but comparing the ACC and SEC in football is like comparing a plow-mule and a thoroughbred in a horse-race. Forget the weak sisters….ain’t an ACC team out there that could beat any of the top 3 SEC teams.

“And, truth is, the last three meetings have affirmed as much.”
Are you serious? They have one win in three tries. And even fewer looking at the past decade … when UGA beat Florida a few years back, where you saying the same thing? Until they are able to beat UGA consistently, then they are inferior. Just like, it pains me to say, UGA has to beat Florida many more times to make up for the past 18 years. If anyone from Georgia spoke the way PJ does, I believe your articles would be very negative about his behavior. This guy is an embarrassment as the leader of the team.

Before anyone rebuts my numbers: UGA has 26k undergrads while Tech has 13k. So there…maybe for THAT stat you could say GT is “half the size” of UGA. But Tech is just not some tiny little science-only school while UGA is the huge liberal arts school anymore. They’re both getting bigger every year, and they’re both rising in academic prestige (although the point-spread on SAT scores is a widening margin in favor of Tech).

Hey, UGALY: I think you have a point. Other than the two losses to Boise and So Carolina, UGA’s schedule has been pretty weak. They have beaten a 7-4 Auburn, a 6-5 UF, a 5-6 MSU/Tenn/Vandy, 4-7 Ky/New Mex State, and 2-9 Ole Miss. Tech at 8-3 and nationally ranked is the best team UGA has faced since the two losses….

NO NO NO, we have no chance. I am surprise the spread is just 5.5 points. I heard someone on that Georgia 680 broadcast with Buck Belue last Saturday say all Georgia had to do against Kentucky is get on and off the bus to the stadium and they would win. And by golly he was right they tore Kentucky a new one He knew they would before the game even started as did the paper. Tech was fighting for its life against Duke while Georgia got off the bus with no problem. I am suggesting that Tech never get on the bus, leave em standing at the Dodd and save us the embarrassment, like house guest let em have the run of the place. The NCAA is good at punishing you for showing up with more than nature or their silly rules intended, I wonder what they do to ya for not showing up at all. The opposite of pay to play would be pay to stay away. Maybe they will reverse that sentence and give us back our ACC title that we are now pretending we didn’t win. A team this bad and this scared of the mighty Georgia ,surely hasn’t resorted to cheating, or is doing it so poorly it has little if no results. My daddy use to say if you going to cheat in a fight you sure better make sure you win it.

There should be no debate about the SEC anymore. Until another conference can win a National Title, the SEC will be the best. And it isn’t just about 2 teams, 4 different teams from the SEC have won a National title.
The ACC can hem and haw all they want, but until they can put forth a team like how FSU used to be in the 90’s, they will be a second tier conference in football. This is not perception, this is reality!
As for UGA’s schedule: there is nothing that can be done about that. Schedules are made 4-5 years out. At that time, there was no way of knowing that Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn would be this weak. Also, it’s not like Tech has played a lot of juggernauts this year. Oh yeah…UVA, Duke, Kansas, Miami….real powerhouses!! At least UGA has beaten most of the teams on their weak schedule. The same cannot be said for Tech.

If it was all about perceptions and not reality then Coach Kung Fu Panda would not have pushed BACK the Bama & Auburn Games that were scheduled to start up in 2012 back to 2020 and beyond in favor of playing crappy teams like ELON.
Many GT Fans like myself would love to see GT schedule SEC Teams other than Vandy or Miss St. (pre Mullen), I would love for GT to re-new rivalries with Teams like Bama, Auburn, Tenn , Florida, even Arky and L$U.
But CPJ would never do that, you see despite what he says in this interview, CPJ & DRad believe in playing Cupcake-city when it comes time to schedule OOC Games.
For crissakes W.Carolina is like the #120th ranked team in a LOWER LEVEL (crappy D1-AA), throw in 2-9 Kansas, and 2-9 Md. to go along with 1-10 W. Carolina and GT can never say anything about anyone’s schedule.

Since no team in the ACC even comes close to Arkansas, LSU or Alabama, the “top” of the SEC is out of sight of the “top” of the ACC.

The ACC is a hem and haw league. We are going to get murdered this week by the shock and aw of the SEC. Milk toast all of us, none worse than Tech. They almost disbanded us this year according to Jeff, not real sure why they didn’t. The real conference was picking over our bones, Richt showed up in town looking at CPJs office furniture thinking he and it would be out of business next year. We would be like University of the South or planet of the apes some day as people walked around a overgrown Dodd thinking at one time people actually played football here like they do in Athens. Have no idea what stopped all that, man it was coming down the tracks then poof not only is the ACC alive but they are picking up new members, weak ones of course like some kind of nerd fraternity but still alive. We are a second tier conference, maybe a third tier, but because of that, we are thinking of letting girls play next year, to make the NCAA happy, show we have reformed from our probation days,not hookers no pay for play but equal break the glass on the grass girls.

Really?…REALLY? You tekkies think you’re going to win, REALLY? The record against UGA the last ten years is 9-1. One of you Teck homos thinks that you’ve played a superior schedule. Yes, it’s true that the Dawgs lost early to two highly ranked teams. It is also true that teck lost more often, and only one of those teams is ranked at all. As if rankings have anything to do with who wins the game, it doesn’t. Even a teck grad should understand that. Yes, it is true that the option attack confused our defense enough to win in Johnson’s first season. Our boys were down that year because it was the end of a long, somewhat demoralizing season (pre-season #1 year). Our seniors have seen your offense 4 years now, no surprises. UGA runs away with it this year.

I’m not biting. Anytime you face this triple option and it’s clicking, you better look out. My Dawgs have given up big chunks of yards to this system, although I do think this is Richt’s best defense in 5 or 6 years. The team is big and fast, but over pursuing against this offense can cost you. If Murray is on, Dawgs win in a walk. If he plays like last week, anything can happen.

Kind of reminds me of two years ago, when PJ still had CG’s players. I ran around all week and especially the morning of the game seeing more Tech fans than I had ever seen before! I remember going to eat breakfast with my son, the morning of the game, and old men kept walking in with Tech hats on, and my son said “he had never seen anyone wearing a GT hat before”, I told him that was because Tech thought they were going to beat us, for the first time since he had been born, some 12 years ago. Tech fans were coming out of the woodwork wearing Tech Stuff. Well what happend??? UGA Runs the state, and we will again this year. Las Vegas says it’s a mismatch, PJ hopes it isn’t,, what do you think is going to happen? UGA defense plays at a totally different level than Tech. PJ will not win another game this season, too much time for whoever they play in their bowl game to prepare! Dawgs 30-Tech 17, right close to the spread!!!!!!!!!! And yes PJ, check the inner conference games over the last how many ever years you want to. The ACC has not been very good against the SEC!

Tech and their arrogant coach is a joke. Tech might not be the 2nd best team in the state. Ga.Southern would probably beat Tech. One thing the idiot Johnson forgot, when he said Tech had lined up against a pretty good d.e. in the kid from N.Carolina, and when he mentioned the D.T. from Clemson, and when he mentioned the T.E. from Clemson, he didn’t mention that UGA has better players than all 3 of those guys on the same team. P.J. is such a poor loser, and so are the Tech fans and players. UGA has more talent on defense than any team in the ACC, or any team Tech has faced since P.J. has been at Tech. He will find out Saturday, and can’t wait to hear his pathetic excuse as to why he got his ass whipped again. This guy is a joke, and an arrogant prick, that would never admit that his team and his offense will never win a big bowl game. Tech only wishes it had the talent UGA has on defense, and they can only dream about having a balanced offense like UGA. The reject Hill at tech would never see the field at UGA, and he is the best receiver Tech has had since calvin johnson. This guy should admit he has inferior talent on offense and defense. This isn’t Clemson the nerds are playing Saturday, this is UGA your big brother. Besides UGA owns Clemson as well as Tech, CLemson has lost it’s last 5 meetings against UGA. ACC=losers, always has, always will.

The last three meeting have come against Mark Richt’s shakiest UGA teams that had him on the hotseat. The ACC CHAMPION Jackets lost to a UGA team that had six wins going into the game. That same year, Clemson also lost to a six win South Carolina squad. In 2008, Tech’s reward for beating UGA was a 38-3 pasting in the Chick Fil A bowl to a 7 win LSU squad. Johnson tried this same line of talk in 2008 after beating the two worst SEC teams, Vandy and Miss St. Then he lost to a 6 win UGA squad with a sub-500 SEC record.
Johnson is a blow hard. He will play this trumpet all day long while scheduling Kansas, Vandy, and Miss St. At least Gailey had the nerve to schedule Notre Dame, BYU, and Auburn. Eat it up if you like, but the fact is, the ACC is terrible in non-conference games. Their bowl record stinks. They have only ONE BCS victory…ONE. Cincinnati pasted NC St…the same Cincinnati team that got pasted by Tennessee. Maryland got pasted by Temple…TEMPLE. Virginia lost to Southern Miss and needed OT to beat Idaho.
The ACC gets no respect because they haven’t earned any. Rivalry wins won’t help that either. Want respect? Go beat the top teams from other conferences…something the ACC has not been able to do.

Instead of running his mouth about it, maybe Johnson should schedule Bama, LSU, Auburn, South Carolina, or anyone in the SEC other than Vandy, Kentucky or the Miss schools. Everyone knows anything can happen in a rivalry game. If you want to see how tough the SEC is, go play a game against one of the top programs you dont usually play. Its easy to sit back, beat Vandy, beat Miss St., and win a rivalry game or two against a middle of the pack UGA team, and try to talk down the SEC.
Just ask Va Tech and Clemson who have played LSU, Bama, and Auburn over the last several years and have something like a 1-5 record.

What infuriates me about Johnson, is he makes comments like this without any base behind them. Its all a mental pep rally to distract from the fact his offense and style isnt good for more than 7 or 8 wins in an average football conference.
IMO he knows his offense cant recruit talent. Thats why when he loses he has to blame a block or two like his players just arent running his system right. It couldnt possibly be that the talent on the other side of the ball is superior and was ready to play him.
He makes bold statements about other conferences when he wont schedule any more than bottom feeders like Kansas and Vandy. Chan Gailey played legit top 10 UGA squads, not shaky 6 win squads or largely unproven squads like this years UGA team. Chan Gailey played home and home dates with the likes of Notre Dame, Auburn, and BYU.

We would have 100% lost if we didn’t let you score. By letting you score, we gave ourselves a small chance. I’m surprised that UGA fans can’t figure this one out. It’s not really advanced logic.

That sounds so pathetic. And as a Technical matter, you did 100% lose.

This is a reminder that we’ll be having our regular tribute and moment of silence on Saturday for Saint Jan Kemp, the courageous martyr who exposed UGA and Vince Dooley’s “remedial studies” fraud, a shameful scam that Mark Richt carries on today, almost thirty years later.
Please approach this special moment with awe and reverence as we honor her sacred name.

@AJ – I would actually agree with GTBob and so would Mark Richt. That move was the only hope Tech had of winning the ball game. If UGA had just dropped on the ball and not scored, they run the clock out.
But at the same time it underscores the fact that Johnson HAS to outscore teams. The defense which used to be great under Tenuta is a shadow of its former selves. Tenuta would have shut down UGA the last couple of years just like he did in 04, 05, 06 and most of the 07 game. 07 was the only hear UGA scored 20 pts, and those were far better teams than the last two UGA squads. The defense immediately fell flat in 08 as soon as Johnson stepped in. Has Johnson ever coached a team that could play defense? What do you think they practice against? The option?

Mike,
1) PJ agrees with you that LSU and Bama are superior (did you read the article?).
2) What would you do if you were the coach in the press conference…”Yup are guys just got whooped. They suck and everybody knows it.” Yeah that’s great motivation for the team right there. And I think the difficulty of the school is way more of a drawback to offensive candidates. What running back would not want to play for Tech? Great school and they would be the center of attention always.
3) “What infuriates me about Johnson, is he makes comments like this without any base behind them.”
Yeah exactly what you’re doing by saying “the fact his offense and style isnt good for more than 7 or 8 wins in an average football conference.”
This is PJ’s 4th year coaching…he still has 2 games to make the record this year greater than 8. Plus Tech had 11 wins in 2009 so what’s your explanation for that?

I don’t miss Tenuta’s defense at ALL. He could create chaos at times with his constant blitzing, but we got burned by ANY QB with an arm…I’m still holding out hope for Al Groh’s efforts. We’re REALLY young this year, but we’ve enjoyed moments of brilliance. We’ve suffered through moments of stupid, too!

@macrotech – I’m actually a Tech grad haha. Its my team too, and I have never been on board with this hire. Johnson has been at this a while…at Ga Southern and Navy. Miami, Va Tech, and maybe now Virginia are locked in on the option. That’s 3 divisional games. His teams dont play well away from home. With Clemson, UNC, Va Tech, and UGA on the same home rotation schedule, that spells disaster every other year.
Another Johnson quote I love “Most teams that beat us have more than a week to prepare.” You mean like a Bowl game? HAHA So now we are mailing in the bowl games which BTW Johnson is averaging one TD per game so far?

@bradrey3d – 1) Im not just talking about this years teams. Pick any SEC team that usually at least qualifies for a bowl. Anyone other than Vandy and Miss St. That LSU team he lost 38-3 to had a losing SEC record and only 7 wins overall…just like the last two UGA teams.
2) How about just saying, “My only concern is beating UGA, not whether the ACC is better than SEC. My focus is preparing our kids to play and beat our in-state rivals. They have a dangerous club, and we can’t afford to get distracted by anything else”
3) Jonathan Dwyer, Josh Nesbitt, Demaryus Thomas, Derrick Morgan, Morgan Burnett, and the rest of the highly stocked cupboard of young NFL level talent Chan Gailey left him.

mike, how can you say that any team we play on a regular basis is “locked in on the option”? VT hasn’t stopped us; we just couldn’t stop them. UVA didn’t stop us as much as we played a crappy game offensively. The only year that Miami “stopped” us was in 2009 when we played 3 games in 2 weeks and didn’t do a thing on either side of the ball all night long. UGA has beaten us the last 2 years, but they still haven’t “stopped” the offense. The only team Tech has played since CPJ arrived who actually “stopped” us on any kind of consistent basis during the game was Iowa, and that was because they were probably the most disciplined defensive team I have ever seen. But even in that game, we still had a chance with 6 minutes left, and if Nesbitt could have hit the side of a barn who knows how it might have ended. NOBODY is “locked in” on CPJ’s offense.

Tech fans, this simple. Your team has the same issue as Florida: Too many athletes, good ones, but not enough football players who make football plays. CPJ should easily get top rated RB’s, OL’s and dual threat QB. He is spending too much time finding diamonds in the rough and recruiting against Conference USA schools. No offense, just check the other offers from your commits so far and years in the past. Al Groh is wise, but he is too old (as fas as recruiting tactics goes) to get the talent you guys need on defense. I have no problem with CPJ’s offense, but he needs to upgrade his player profile. Nebraska before Bill Callahan should be your model.

The SEC and it’s fans remind me of a pack of little boys. There may be one or two dominate ones in the bunch that the rest stand behind and run their mouths about what they’re going to do, but if you pull the dominate ones ( LSU and Alabama) to the side all you have is a bunch of snot nose little punks. CPJ is right on. All you Georgia fans that want to run down CPJ, are idiots, and you’ve probably never coached anything more that a little league team, if that. If you pull LSU and Alabama out of the SEC, it would be nothing more than average. THWG! GO JACKETS!

LOL @ Ropemutt and all of you others who think we aren’t an obstacle EVERY YEAR now that CPJ is entrenched.
ACC Coastal > ACC Atlantic > SEC East
Don’t think so? See you here on the blog Saturday night!
Bama, LSU = great teams. Congrats for that. How’d ya’ll do against them? Oh you didn’t play them? You played a deadbeat Miss St. team that we waxed 2 straight years and an Ole Miss team that ducked out of our contract with em. Ask Vandy what they think of us? Oh that coach aint there anymore but his players are and they were 3 seconds and a scoop and score on a blocked punt from proving my point.
You are the state school, you offer all the easy degrees, you get the 5-star talents in a state that churns out the best of them yet 1980 is over 30 years away and you still think the next Walker is coming to your school. (Where is Jasper and what’s his name from GAC/Parkview now?)
Your “Voice” has now passed on like all the in-bred mascots you’ve been trotting out there.
The new “OWNER OF THIS STATE” is in place and after Saturday, he’ll be 2-2 since his tenure with nearly EVERYTHING coming back next year!
Go kid yourselves about how great you are, I’ll be back here Saturday night to say I told you so!

The SEC has a couple of excellent football teams, The rest are average. The ACC has a couple of good teams, and the rest are average. However, in the rest of the sports from basketball on down the ACC is superior to the ACC. And other than Vandy, the academics are sub-standard in the SEC. There are no schools that come close to UNC, Wake, and Duke. GT is much higher ranked than UGA. What are colleges for?? Getting an education of getting kicked out of school or suspended like the running backs at UGA?

Georgia had better come into this with their chinstraps on tight, ready to play some football. A lackluster offensive performance like we saw against Kentucky will not be enough this weekend. You can bet that CPJ will have his troops ready for blood.
That being said, CPJ does not “own” Mark Richt (he’s 1-3 against him overall, and 1-2 at Tech), and the Georgia team overall is better than Tech on paper.

DesignerJacket –I agree with most of what you said, but Tech’s offense is “relatively exotic..”???? What about option right/option right is exotic? Difficult to simulate in practice??? All they need to do is go borrow Clarke Central’s O for a week to run Tech’s O. That offense works great in high school and D-2, or whatever it’s called now. When they hired Johnson I said their offense would work for about a year and a half and that’s it. You were right that Tech will never compete with UGA as far as raw talent. Why? Because the offense that Johnson runs is not run in the pros and what high school kid that has pro potential would want to go to Tech and never get developed for the pros?

Being called arrogant by the most delusionally arrogant fan-base in the country…..how….uh…common.

Ranking Richt’s wins over tech in the last 10 years…
1. 51-7
2. Reggie Ball 4th and Dumb
3. Stafford to Massakwa
4. Tony Taylor recovering Ball’s fumble for a TD
5. Minter and Oliver stone-cold locking Calvin “2-Catch” Johnson down?
6. Justin Houston’s INT last season to seal the Dawgs’ 42-34 win
7. Reshad Jones picking off Jayblow Shaw to secure the latest win in ATL
8. Reggie getting kicked out of the second half while David Greene lit up the Tech D
9. DJ Shockley struggling but Greene coming in to relieve him and wrap up yet another Dawgs win!
I concur with the above!

“You show me one place where I wrote anything derogatory about the kids at UGA, the school, or the football team, or the coach and you won’t see me here again. I’ll be eagerly awaiting your response.’

Ah one can see if that week, that week that is so muc fun every year. Win or lose I will support the Jackets and look back on the year with pride. Can Tech win? Yes, they can, it will take a very good game in all phases of the game but we’ve seen the team is capable of such efforts. And, yes, GA can win the game as well. Very talented players and if GA plays its best it would be a very difficult game for Tech.
Despite all the of the usual comments/insults/ramblings from the usual cast of characters this is going to be a fun week and, I, for one, look forward to Saturday and the chance to see 2 teams lay it all on the line on behalf of their respective schools.

It is what it is. You can currently get 6 (SIX) points out in Vegas if you want to throw your money out there. That’s the line I “expected”. I watched both teams as much as I could all year long. I simply think the “intangibles” are on our side this season and will result in a GT win.
You bring in Nick Saban, or Les Miles………………
Look at our student-athletes in nothing but Under Armor gear on one side – put UGA’s on the other side.
Tell them they gotta pick a group to go with. My gut tells me they go without hesitation to UGA’s side.
Thus, the 6 (9 if you consider the Vegas 3 pts for being at home) pt spread.
I’ve seen it all too often, and this team will have NO distractions Saturday. It IS our Superbowl. Don’t think that it will be the case on the other side but I do think OUR KIDS and OUR COACHES have enough to overcome it!
Give em’ hell Jackets. I KNOW you will.

Then we find out that their players beat up their girlfriends, or they have the NCAA down their throats for failing to graduate any of those academically gifted athletes, Georgia waxes their yellow tails, again, and they shut up until the next season.

Are there really Tech fans trying to talk about empty seats? Really? Seriously, you lot should seek professional help.

Get out of the basement, smell the fresh air, turn off the WOW and maybe, just maybe, you can start to understand simple reality. Which in this case is….UGA is the big boy school…they get the big boy players and play the big boy games. Tech, well, is a joke of a school, with a complete fool for a coach who’s only saving grace is his conference is so WEAK that his gimmicks half work. Tech is also the only school in this state to EVER have a championship stripped from them by the NCAA.

Yes, the perceptions are that our coach on the hotseat is 1-9 vs Georgia tek, that Georgia tek has Lost 6 bowl games in a row after their game with us beating them like a drum, and that Georgia tek has gone on to not win a Major Bowl Game since 1955 after their game against us – that and that The SEC has won 5 Consecutive National Championships with this season all 3 of the top 3 teams in the nation # 1 # 2 and # 3 LSU, Alabama and Arkansas before Alabama beats Auburn to remain # 2 and while # 3 and # 1 square-off this weekend too, while we steamroll Georgia tek 40-17.
The only other perception is that today 5 of the top 14 teams in the nation are SEC Teams, while the ACC all cupcake conference has 1. That and the perception that Georgia tek is on NCAA PROBATION in FOOTBALL back-to-back REPEAT OFFENDERS of the NCAA Major Infractions database.

Satchelbuzz or sakofnuts whatever. You are obviously in a energy drink daze after ur 73 hour star trek marathon. Paul Johnson has got his a$$ handed to him almost every year. Just for the record ask Paul how many sec teams are in the top 5. What about that power house Clemson y’all beat? They aren’t looking so elite now are they? Tech will always be a mediocre team. Always has been.

Another failed attempt at saying the SEC is not strong top to bottom.
Johnson asks who’s favored in these games?:
Clemson vs USC, or 2 vs 5. How about Clemson vs Alabama, or FSU vs USC?
Florida vs FSU, or 7 vs 5. How about Florida vs Miami or NC State, or FSU vs USC?
Wake vs Vandy, please! that is #2 in the Atlantic vs #4 in the (weak) East.
I readily admit there is more balance once 6th 7th 8th place teams start matching up, but when the SEC #1 to #5 take on #1 to #5 of any other conference, it ain’t pretty.

Since Coach Kung Fu Panda thinks it is all perception than all you have to do is to “seed” the 2 Conferences vs. each other, i.e. SEC-1 vs. ACC-1, SEC-2 vs. ACC-2 and so, it would look like this based on the first 11- Games this season:
1) L$U vs. Va. Tech
2) Bama vs. Klimpson
3) Arky vs. U Va.
4) UGA vs. GT
5) USCe vs. Wake/F$U
6) Auburn vs. Wake/F$U
7) Florida vs. Miami/NCSU
9) Miss St. vs. UNC
10) Tenn vs. BC
11) Kentucky vs. Dook
12) Miss. vs. Md.
If you look at those matchups of “equal seeds”, most folks that know any thing about CFB would have the SEC going 9-3 or 8-4 at worst vs. the ACC, in all likely hood the SEC would go 10-2 vs. the ACC in this sort of seeded competition.
So much for “perception” Coach Kung Fu Panda!

Any SEC vs ACC talk is ridiculous. Every single non-biased observer of talent etc places them SEC=1 and ACC =5or 6.
Georgia has much better players overall, especially on the line of scrimmage.. Tech’s only shot is springing some possible pitch outs they sometimes hit for sprints. Tech will obviously also need some big breaks on penalties, missed fg’s, and they will have to play flawlessly hoping the Georgia players are looking past this game.
Other than that, Georgia Mauls them.

Correction for everyone, 5 straight BCS championships. At least two of which the SEC should not have even been there.

BCS should drop the C.

I think this conference arguement is dumb, but If you want to argue the depth of the SEC vs ACC, just look at the Chick-fil-a bowl. It’s the ACC #2 vs the SEC #5. And in recent years, it has been the SEC #6 or worse because the confernce is sending a team to the NC game every year. …and oh, by the way, the SEC is 4-2 since ‘05.

As for this game, it’s a rivalry game, so it’ll be close in the first half. However, I think the Dawgs take control in the second half and win by 14-17.
But I’ve been wrong before: they could win by 20+.

The key to this game: UGA has corners that can lock down receivers in one-on-one matchups freeing up the linebackers and safeties to come in and stop the run. John Jenkins and Kwame Geathers haven’t let anyone run up the middle this year and that won’t change. That leaves 7 or 8 guys to pursue the QB and pitch man most plays. This is how you stop the option and how Virginia and company did it.

“Except for the top two there is not alot of difference between the ACC and SEC”. Isn’t that like saying if not for Aaron Murray, the Packers are not any better than the Falcons? What he says is correct but what does that have to do with anything? The fact is Bama and LSU are in the SEC and nothing compares with them in the ACC. It isn’t like Bama and LSU are the only teams winning NC recently. It is there year and next year it will be someone else. Of course every conference has its best teams.

I also think it will be close (if it’s not close, I think that means a UGA victory…not sure GT’s defense will be able to stop the UGA offense). I’m going with GT 38 UGA 35. I hope that’s not wishful thinking.

I don’t think it’s wishful thinking, really. One of the big factors is the turnover battle. Georgia has won or tied on the turnover margin every game over the 9 game streak. This one won’t be any different. We are hoping Murray doesn’t get the yips and that our running backs don’t get butterfingers. You all should be hoping your pitch plays don’t get sloppy. It will be a good game for sure.

The SEC isn’t much if you cut a QUARTER of the teams out of the league. All that would be left if you take our a QUARTER of the teams are two top 12 teams…and if you take those two out….then it’s real crap.
For goddsake. The conference has 5 teams in the top 12. That’s one shy of half.
Let’s do an apples to apples comparison then. Take out the top three teams in the ACC and see what you have left.

I agree completely. Unfortunately, many people despise Richt even more since they see that he doesn’t seem to do anything wrong. It’s the same basis for all of the Tebow hate that’s spewed. Good men make great targets because have what a lot of people don’t (class) and they will do anything they can to bring them down, hoping that one day Richt will slip up one time and, in their minds, validate everything they’ve ever said about him.

I would point out that retiring a jersey is at least a college football tradition. Getting rings made is something high school teams do after a state championship.

The ring wasnt for the win it was the ring that was given at the bowl game that year and the seniors were asked for a few things they wanted on them and that was what they voted for. It wasnt given specifically for just the UGA win. Agree retiring numbers are a tradition but if you retired numbers for every guy that recovers a fumble in a big game then you would run out of numbers pretty quickly

For the most part, it was the opinion of Georgia fans that we all loved Richt, but if he couldn’t get things at least turned around in the right direction this year that he might have to go. Well, he has turned it around to say the least. All of the talk you heard from the media about Richt being on the hot seat wasn’t true. Sure he was at risk, but only if he had another 2010 season.

Have not got to see Tech play much this year but UGA has the same corners and 1 safety ( Rambo) that refused to tackle but every 4th or 5th play last year against Tech. The rest of UGA ’s Defense is much improved. So if Johnson is smart enough to pitch it wide and not to 29 Jarvis Jone’s side Tech should move the ball some. Maybe a high scoring game?
Joe

Also will say back when we had Clemson the next week in the ACC title game I did consider the ACC title game more important than the UGA game just for the reason that Tech is not in the position to go to a BCS game and wanted to see that more. UGA fans should think that as well. Its ok to think big picture in these situations and an SEC title is more important than beating Tech this year!

@Swarles Barkley – Yes it does help their self esteem to try and insult anything to do with UGA. That’s all this Johnson joke of a coach was trying to do. Build himself up by trying to tear others down. To hell with Georgia right. It’s the same inferiority complex that allows total idiots like this Supersize my order Mutts guy to run around these blogs spewing the sewage he does. As if Tech grads aren’t just people we give good money to to fix our cable.
You Tech fans running your mouth now will be back in the cracks and holes in the wall with the rest of the bugs soon enough. The Dawgs will win this one for Larry and win it big. Grantham’s 3-4 is the perfect defense to completely shut down the gimmick ball from the trade school.

Gotta give Johnson credit. He realizes that to keep the techie fan base happy, he needs to lip off about the teams he plays, especially Georgia. That way, when he keeps winning 8 or 9 and only beating Georgia one out of four, they won’t send him out on a rail. This is his last rodeo – if he can’t make this offense work at tech, no other school will touch him. But if he can keep the techie fan base happy with occasional wins, and throw his barbs, they won’t touch him.

@ Swarles Barkley – you are spot on. You can say whatever you want to about Coach Richt. You can say he is not the best head coach, not the best disciplinarian, not the best game-manager, whatever. But it really angers me when people try to call him a hypocrite or a fake. Mark Richt is a good man. He is the real deal as far as a man of faith and a family man. Does he give some players too many chances? Probably, but that’s because he believes in redemption and restoration. Does he hang on to assistant coaches too long? Probably, but that’s because he is really kind and forgiving and doesn’t want to see a coach lose his job and be humiliated for being fired. Mark Richt is not a perfect man and he puts his pants on one leg at a time, but trying to tear down a guy because he coaches against your favorite team is just wrong.

Richt is a great man in my book. Did he merit some of the criticizm?? Sure did. Great coaches adjust.

The lack of respect shown by the character of “the kids” coupled with the childish actions of the DC reflect your head man (and mine).

I see Grantham’s two “events” as completely different. I don’t care what happened, the choke gesture was wrong. No one can defend it.
The confrontation with Franklin occurred when Franklin began yelling at a player (I think Williams…) and Grantham intervened. Also, the video shows that Grantham stopped approaching Franklin when they were close enough to hear each other. It was well after Grantham’s advances had stopped that the Vandy security personnel stepped up and shoved Grantham backwards. Grantham was far from out of control and was merely showing passion for his team and supporting the players. I would want nothing different from a coach.

Paul Johnson will always be bitter about losing in the option game to Navy last year more than anything else. Still, it’s clear he is a bit bitter about the Dawgs and determined to get the best of them. He’s a good coach for GTech, but I still wonder if the option attack will lead GTech any higher than it has up to this point.

Exactly who here has said that UGA should be the favorite going into the SECCG? Who? If you point them out to me, I’ll tell you that they’re full of it. UGA hasn’t shown that they’re a dominant team. They will and should be underdogs. However, they haven’t been tested since the second game of the year. We suppose that’s their fault for playing egregious teams that flagrantly suck (AU – for all that bravado you spew about UGA/Walker being a one-man team, have you so quickly forgotten your auction property?), that risibly underachieve with blue chippers, (UF – that’s you suckah)…teams who are so thoroughly horrible and who make a joke of themselves just by suiting up… It’s not UGA’s problem that this is true.

When asked if the 2009 loss to UGA was because he was looking ahead to the next week, Paul Johnson’s response was…..
“That was the week we had the NCAA [investigators] in here. That played into it a great deal. That played into it far more than [looking ahead to] the ACC championship.”
If the SEC’s superiority is all about perceptions then how has Tech lost to the two weakest teams that Mark Richt has coached since coming to UGA. I couldn’t possibly have anything to do with coaching, could it?
I hope he has a ton of distractions this week with all of the backlash that he has created by flapping his big hog jowls.
Look at the bright side, Tech fans, after you team loses on Saturday, at least CPJ will have something else to blame it on.

ACC is a mirage in football BEFORE the bowl season every year. The AP WRITERS/COACHES keep them in the Top 20, as long as they can, then like with the VA Cadavers, they whup up on FSU and Clemson loses to pathetic NC State and so it goes.
The BOWL SELECTIONS will tell us how $$ relevant in the market place the ACC is. That is the Invisible Hand and end of story.
SEC teams WILL DOMINATE the very cream de cream of the MAJOR bowls and therefore the BOWL MONEY. Period. End of the story and end of the mirage. VaTech will possibly end up in the Orage Bowl and their bowl committte will cringe, as they did the year GT was slaughtered there back in 09.

LSU beat Oregon and West Virginia out of conference.
LSU has shown that they most likely have a better team, with quality road wins against WVU, Ore, and Bama. Is that a revelation and according to whom? Give us a break. There isn’t a knowledgeable UGA fan on this board who doesn’t recognize the faults of the Bulldogs this year. There isn’t a cognizant Dawg fan here who doesn’t realize that UGA was the fortunate recipient of the downside of the SEC schedule rotation this year. However, that doesn’t mean that they will automatically lose, either Saturday or in the SECCG. What it does mean, is at least they earned the shot at the consensus number one, which is something GT, AU and the rest of those decrepit losers can’t say. If the Dawgs lose…then Vegas will have been right again. If they win, you’re gonna look like an idiot because of your inexplicable certainty.

Poopdawg: All the pressure is on the winner of the LSU/Ark game anyway. Who will be surprised if Georgia, who started out weakly, who has performed inconsistently on the O-Line, drops the SECCG? I don’t know anyone who is a Georgia fan who will be. Now, if they lose to GT, there will be a bit more surprise, but most UGA folks I know understand that GT has a potentially dangerous offense. They passed the ball very well early in the season and, if they find that stroke again, could prove tough for UGA. However, I think the Dawgs’ defensive personnel makes the difference this season. It’s a rivalry. Anything can happen, but I like the odds for Georgia.

They are gone, and he is left with these 1AA players, who don’t have enough lead in their britches. It will be a great game, but please Tech fans don’t applaud a coach who is dillusional at best. This is the best defense he has seen all year. The D-line is the key. Look at LSU in 08, Iowa in 09, Miami every year, and Georgia 09, 10. Big D-lines pose huge problems for this offense. Get ready for the new Junkyard Dawg Defense!
Let us employ logic
November 23rd, 2011

GT fans allege that the SEC and specifically UGA “are no good” because the SEC only has three teams. Ok, why have about 5 or 6 or 7, 8 MNC teams come from the SEC over the last 10 or 12 years AND on a consistent basis? THIS YEAR, these USA TOP THREE teams have defeated other SEC TEAMS BUT NOT UGA. See? Arky has one loss but is still # 3.
IF the SEC was as lousy as you Tech fans suggest, like Boise State’s league, why are THREE TEAMS on TOP # right now?? Boise was dropping before they lost. Arky was rising in that same time period. See Ok State, Stanford and the rest. When they lose like Clemson has, they drop like stones. SEC OWNS NCAA football. ACC is a joke and look at the soon to be announced minor bowls that ACC teams go to say vs SEC bowl destinations.
Kids, read, learn the facts and apply logic or do not open your traps.
Remember this too: GT wins vs UGA and they land in Charlotte in the John Belk Bowl. Lose and who knows hwere they end up. Maybe the Waffle House Bowl on Buford Highway vs Marist HS. Winner gets FREE cheese grits.
UGA wins vs GT and loses in the Dome, they end up in the Cotton Bowl for mega money.
UGA wins vs GT and LSU or Alabama or Arky then they end up in the Sugar Bowl and play for gazzillions of $$. MNC could be on the line.
SEC rules NCAA ball, kids. Always has always will.
GT is small ball.

UGA will win the game, and Blue Fox above at 3:55 has provided the blue print on how they will do it.
Oh, there will be the occasional long pass that will burn the Jacket secondary, but they will see the advantages to keeping the ball away from Tech’s clock-controlling offense.
Tech will get close and either fumble of throw an interception and hand UGA the win.
UGA will then think how great they are….
Fact is, and UGA fans and non-fans know it, that it doesn’t matter if they play LSU or Alabama in the SEC title game, they will get torn up.
All the 9-game streak did is get the heat off Richt for a bit, but just wait until he gets out-coached at the title game and it will all start back up with a vengence.
The SEC east played more like the MAC conference this year anyway….

Georgia Tech is about as good as they are ever going to be
Georgia is about as mediocre as they are ever going to be. (To heck with 9-2, they have only played two games that wouldve been impressive wins, and lost them both)
Under these circumstances, the talk is that it might be a close game.
I can understand Coach Johnson being proud of his team and his players. But saying that the difference between ACC football and SEC football is just perception is like saying that the only difference between triple A ball and the big leagues is perception
Yes, in many years there is a team in the ACC that could compete week in and week out with the top tier of the SEC.
Anyway – it is not a coincidence ( or an error) that the three top ranked teams in the country are from the SEC.
Matter of fact, in reality, that’s probably been the case in at least three of the last five years, at the end of the day

Which brings up the real hum-dinger – what do you do if Arkansas squeaks by LSU?
If LSU beats Arkansas – then it’s pretty clear at this point that Alabama is the team that gets to play them for the title
If Arkansas beats LSU, then what? Whoever ends up being SEC West champ could then lose the SEC title game and leave the second and thrid place SEC West teams playing for the national title
But even assume the SEC West champ beats Georgia – who gets in. Can you penalize LSU for losing one game on THAT schedule, even if its at home? You certainly coudlnt deny Arkansas and say gee you beat them but too bad. My thinking is that if Arkansas beats LSU, then it’ll be a rematch between those two for the title. If LSU wins, it’ll be Alabama LSU.
And Alabama would have a beef – after all they’d be left out on the basis they lost a home game while LSU would be in despite losing a home game. I’d say LSU’s overall wschedule justifies that
If the SEC West winner loses to UGA (I just dont see it happening) then you could begin to discuss someone outside the SEC belonging the title game. It’d be Oklahoma State if they beat OU, but that happens about as often as Tech beating Georgia. Which leaves Stanford. Personally I think they’d get destroyed by any of the three.
We’ll see I guess
If LSU finishes this off, by the end of the season they will have beaten #2 and #3 twice each — WOW!

The Red Clay Canines take their 2nd of three trips to the states big city this Saturday to meet their in state pests, the Bees. These pests can certainly be annoying as they’ve been known to fly back and forth, with ease throughout the nest this year. But these dogs won’t be needing Orkin, as they’ve proved to stop just about everything in their path the last two and a half months. And these old dogs know a thing or two about running up and down a field and catching a ball.
That old Wreck from North Ave. will have a flat tire on the Flats this day as Larry Munson watches over….

Trust the AJC and JS to try and make something out of nothing to stir things up. The quote was “Personally, I think the conference thing is way overblown” and CPJ went on to say it depends on what the measure is – the top teams or overall conference strength. Of course this was translated into the 3 word headline “Johnson: SEC overblown” . Pretty sad AJC.

Hey look, CPJ is now posting on this blog. Stay classy coach. Here’s a pro-tip for you. Quit being just like your fanbase…which is clinically obsessed with the superior school from Athens. Eliminate all that hate and spend your time developing a offense a half decent player might want to play for and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to win another ACC title (that it until it gets stripped because you had to cheat to win in the ACC…LMAO)

There really is no bottom to the chasm that is Paul Johnson’s lack of class, is there? Georgia has been on a downward slide since 2008, but has still beaten Tech 2 out of 3 of those years, and beating us by 3 points is in no way “punching us in the mouth”. If you can win your conference division, but lose to a 6-7 SEC team (see 2010, e.g.) the facts are speaking for themselves in regard to conference superiority.
I pray for the young men on each team to be healthy coming into Saturday and may the best team win. One thing is clear, though: UGA has already won the class, integrity and character of the head coach contest. Paul Johnson could never coach in the SEC and will never get a chance. Sour grapes produce a sour whine. (pun intended)

the ONLY SEC v ACC game THIS year so far is Clemson v Auburn and Clemson stopped Auburn’s 17 game winning streak.
LSU has not played VT This year.
Wake(5-3) v Vandy(2-6)
Clemson(6-2) v So Carolina(6-2)
FSU(5-3) v Florida(3-5)
GT(5-3) v UGA(7-1).
Those are all about even in each conference.

Tech has lost its last 6 bowl games, while the SEC produced the MNC team in 5 of those seasons. The largest margin of defeat during these last 6 years for Tech was in 2007 to an SEC team (LSU) who lost its division to the team (Alabama) who lost the SECCG to FL, who won it all. In case you nerds (still) aren’t following, in 2007 Tech lost to an SEC East team and an SEC West team who both failed to win their respective divisions within the conference.
How is that for degrees of separation between GT and a real football conference?

Well said Cigar Dawg. But the sad reality is I think CPJ is just pandering to his fanbase. All it takes is reading these blogs to see that most Tech fans are arrogant punks who way overvalue their perception of their education almost as much as they do their football program. Funny but true, I just fired a Tech grad last month who just wasn’t smart enough to handle his job. And I’m just a lowly Valdosta State grad.

After reading all of the garbage on this website, fans, particularly UGA fans should be ashamed. For a bunch of people who do not care about Tech, they sure post a lot of ugly things and seem very obsessed with Tech. Don’t know if Tech can beat them or not on Saturday, but I do know that Coach Johnson’s boys will play hard. Other than a mediocre South Carolina team and a good Boise State team, UGA has played schools who are weak. This Tech team is not weak and will give them a game. THWG. Go Jackets!

CigarDawg proves my point, why would he be here making comments about Tech if he did not care about us. So CigarDawg, what year did you graduate from UGA? What was your major? By the way, Tech people do support their team, we just don’t have tons of people who never went to Tech support us like UGA does. I’m fine with that Most kids are not smart enough to get into Tech, so they do not chose us to root for as kids. Guess they figure that they could grow up and go to UGA.
By the way, if you have not noticed, Tech is again ranked in the top 25 in all polls. We have been to 15 straight bowls, had 14 winning seasons until last year. Not bad for an internationally ranked engineering school. Right now, UGA owns us, like Florida owns UGA. Guess you know how that feels! See you Saturday at Grant Field.

I hope your comrades come ready to play, and I really hope our boys do, too. You actually could win this one, just recognize that UGA is playing with very poor consistency this year and has been the beneficiary of a rare schedule filled with extremely bad opponents. I hate to say it, but UGA is merely the tallest dwarf in the league this year and, at the end of the day, how are you going to feel beating up on a dwarf?

Well, since 1990, Georgia has only beat Florida 6 times (in 22 tries). No one cares what happened in the 1960s. Most Florida fans do not consider UGA a major rivalry in recent years as UGA only wins once and a while. Not unlike Tech and UGA. Calling me names and talking about some family history hardly displays intelligence on your part. Bottom line is that UGA is a mid range major university with a decent football program. Whether you win Saturday or not, you will never be what you secretly want…to be the University of Alabama!

Lance, I graduated as a non-traditional student in 1999 with a major in Finance (Magna cum Laude). I lived in Athens for 12 years while working my way through, taking a detour by getting married along the way LoL!
I love the Dawgs and treasure my days in the Classic City, even though I spent my time with my nose to the grindstone trying to make a living, support a wife and finish my degree. I have tremendous respect for GT as an outstanding international university and I love to swap smack talk with the Jackets, all in fun, of course. I was born and raised in Georgia, so I am proud to pull for Tech as a representative of our great state (when they are not playing us, of course). I count many Tech alumni and fans as dear friends, which makes the rivalry even more fun. When all is said and done, it’s a game and I see no reason for real acrimony over it at all.
I look forward to seeing the mayhem, though I do believe this is a year when Tech has a good chance of taking us to the woodshed. I hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving and are only mildly disappointed when we beat you on Saturday – again

This bowl season is a great opportunity to prove or disprove what Johnson is saying. Of course, all SEC teams will go to a bowl game. So lets see how many they win.
The BSC really got fooled again ( what’s new) by having Arkansas ranked #3. A team that should have lost to Vandy ranked # 3 ??? I hope the BCS really gets stuck with this stupidity and sees Arkansas lose by 30 in its bowl game. All the BCS can hope for is that LSU plays someone from outside the SEC so that the “formula”, which the BCS itself dosen’t understand, can once again be defended as “the best we have”.

So using his own logic, the SEC took 3 out of 4 and Florida dominated the stats while losing the game. Oh well, not a Gator fan either. Johnson’s a classless jerk I would have hated to play for. Tell you what, take the #1 team from both conferences, the #2 teams, the #3 teams, etc. and let them play. I bet the SEC would win 80% + of the games and not just this year, every year. Sure, if you take the ACC’s #2 team and maybe the SEC’s #8 team the ACC might win but what does that mean? That’s usually the type of game that the ACC wins the few times they do. Just sayin..
