Georgia would have to give it away. But since I’ve been watching the Dawgs since ‘67 I throw the records aside and hold on for a big ride of an emotional roller coaster. I’m glad it’s in Athens this year.

Hey Jeff. Predictions aside (excuse the blasphemy), I have been reading much about the Big Ten and the more I read the more I think they are full of themselves. Apparently, Maryland and Rutgers are total winners who have been hamstrung by their respective conferences. But, in the comforting financial arms of the Big Ten, they will become the winners they were always destined to be. Give me a break! Despite the explosion of rumors and panic these two moves created, it looks to this unprofessional eye that the Big Ten is bluffing at the Finals table. What if, despite all rumors, everyone stands pat? Whoops Mr. Delany I say. News flash, NYC could not care less about football and cares less for Rutgers. Maryland? This Tech Boy says good riddance. Oh, and THWG!

UGA really does need to be focused on their championship game with Bama.
In their minds they’ve already won the game with Tech.

I never get tired of Lilly pics, and not because she picked UGA. She’s just such a beautiful dog.

Ah, Back to School. I never tire of 80’s movies references either.

Hope the Dawgs come out on top, but I hope for a clean game with no injuries on either side. All the best to all of our seniors, I’m really going to miss those guys.

Discount DoubleDawg, good to see you too! You think I have been quiet? Read a few pages of Jeff’s previous blog. As for the game this weekend, GT can’t stop anybody on defense and I don’t really expect that to change with UGA. If UGA forces GT to punt more than once then it should be an easy win. GT’s only chance is to win in a shootout, or get lucky with turnovers like UGA did against Florida.

So I gotta ask… All season long the UGA haters have forecast a loss for us in almost every game. As all of the Tech posters have stated: crazy things can happen. So here is my question: Let’s say the UGA beats Tech, squeaks out a close victory against Alabama, and then beat Nortre Dame for the MNC. What the heck will you say then? I guess all we will hear is that it doesn’t really matter. It’s only one National Championship. Bama was over rated. Florida was having a down year. The fix was in. The refs were paid off. The Dawgs schedule was too soft. Etc. etc. etc.

Does UGA get ANY credit if the stars align and we do win the BCS Championship?

CPJ really trending poorly the past 3 years. He got off to a hot start in 2008 and did well in 09. But he cheated in ‘09, so that acc title was thrown out.

The nerds love CPJ because he has his head up his a**. But that’s also his downfall. He doesn’t recruit well because of it.

CPJ won with Gailey’s players. Poor GTBobby spends all of his time attempting to diminish UGA’s wins as opposed to sitting on the nerd blogs calling for change!

There isn’t much the new AD could do. Most of the problems with Tech Football are at the school level. The administration is not all that committed to making Tech a serious football contender and therefore they probably never will be. One thing the AD could do is try to get some leniency on the allowed academic exemptions. That would provide some help but significant change would require a cultural shift.

I have watched every one of Andy Landers seasons. I know women’s basketball. I can tell you this, if he played in a gym considered one of the nation’s best, he would do far better. Several posters state every year on this blog that Andy Landers just has to go. I ask what their familiarity is with our team ? Have they ever watched a game to see how Andy Landers gets after his players to get the most from them ? Have any personal knowledge of the game ? I don’t know what you know about Andy Landers, Women’s Basketball, or The Lady Bulldogs. But, I know what I know. And, what I know is that I would not miss a game, never. It is really exciting. We have top women’s basketball players, with a defensive minded coach, who has it going on.

National Championship ? No. He doesn’t have 1 of those.

Whether they go out and sign our own players and pay them to play for them because the year before they did not win any games, and we did.

Whether our guys are off at World War I fighting for them to stay here collecting players from every other school and claim how great they were while we and our coach were in France.

Whether again in World War II, our players are again off at war, and they once again put together a team of players who again are not Georgie tek students.

Nothing matters in all this world.

Play the FBI Most Wanted Criminal against us the whole entire football game.

Anything.

Beg.

Borrow.

Cheat.

Just to Hell with Georgia like their daddy used to do.

Just beat us.

Nothing else matters.

There is zero reason for us to playing this team.

Instead, what we should do is move the Florida game to the last game of the season, and play them HOME and HOME, or HOME and wherever they want to play their games – the stadium where the Gator Bowl has been held every year since 1946, or wherever they choose.

There is nothing to be gained by beating the brains out of the nerds.

Good Morning buckeye.

Happy Thanksgiving

What I said buckeye, was that there is not 1 single solitary Ohio State University football player who has ever done anything, while The Georgia Bulldogs have 5 players who have Won The NFL Championship Game Most Valuable Player Award. Your answer was Chris Spielman, an ESPN broadcaster – when all ESPN is known for is purposely building up 1 player Tim Tebow for example, or 1 team, Southern California for example at the expense of other players and other teams. They want to not report the sports’ news. ESPN Chris Spielman especially, wants to create the news, bend the news, shape the opinions of the sports’ world. ESPN wants to dominate the news. As a player, Chris Spielman what ? Won 1 bowl game ? He certainly did not bring any national championship to Ohio State. In fact, his years were the lean years. His NFL career, also brought his teams NOTHING. Every year but 1 his NFL teams never won a play-off game. No, Chris Spielman has done NOTHING, after being drafted in the 2nd round of the NFL draft and nothing at Ohio State Unversity either. Nor at ESPN. This is your best example. Charley Trippi, by himself, runs rings around anyone on Ohio State University football teams or what they did after they left Ohio State University, and he is but 1 of many key Georgia Bulldogs through the years who have actually DONE SOMETHING. Ohio State University ? Never. Not 1 player at Ohio State University has EVER DONE anything.

_________________

Talk about Ohio State University. Talk about Ohio State University. Where is Ohio State University ranked in the AP Poll. I’ll be back in a minute, buckeye warns us, leaving to go see where Ohio State University is ranked, forgiving them of what they have done.

Archie Griffin – 2-time Heisman Trophy Winner, never did a thing. In the NFL, he ended up 3rd string tailback on his team. One season he got nearly 690 yards rushing. I mean wow. # 24 NFL draft selection of the Bengals.

Vernon Gholston – New York Jets took a flyer on with the # 6 pick in the NFL Draft. Vernon Gholston made 34 tackles over 3 seasons and out of the NFL.

Art Schlichter – started 6 games losing all 6, never completed even half his passes, gambling issues led NFL to kick him out of NFL, let him back, more of the same, and ticket fraud. Currently serving 10-year prison sentence after being selected with the # 4 overall NFL Draft pick by the Baltimore Colts.

Exactly 1 year ago today, Ohio State University tailback Jaamal Berry was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct after police say he punched a man in the face and then bragged about it.

According to a list compiled by The Associated Press, 20 Ohio State players were arrested or faced disciplinary action for rules violations between Tressel’s hiring in 2001 and 2005.

A number of the arrests were alcohol-related, but one player pleaded guilty to robbery, and another pleaded guilty to felony charges related to drug and gun possession. Two others were suspended after being charged with marijuana trafficking and passing fake in-house currency at a strip club.

Tressel may wear a sweater vest, but that doesn’t mean he tolerates such thuggery. Quarterback Troy Smith, who this season brought Ohio State its seventh Heisman Trophy, was convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct after a 2003 fight in a campus parking lot, where, a woman reported, her jaw had been broken.

Ohio State University is known as well as a group who think they are special putting THE in front of Ohio State University, while most of their fans are bandwagon fans who have little to no affiliation with the school what so ever. But, we are supposed to talk about them in here. Insisted we discuss Ohio State University.

buckeye – happy ?

This is what Ohio State University is, and it is the perception of Ohio State University nationally. And, you run in here on the UGA blogs to demand we discuss it.

_________________
Ohio State University
_________________

Here is the national perception of Ohio State University :

Maurice Clarett : His rap sheet at Ohio State University prior to being dismissed from the team consisted of filing a false police report, academic misconduct, tumultuous life outside of football, including his dismissal from Ohio State, several arrests, and later, imprisonment. He also had spats with coaches on the sidelines and got into a public war with school administrators over various issues. Led Ohio State University to a national championship in 2002, when Ohio State University football players were selling their uniforms to a tattoo parlor for tattoos. There were no sanctions for Ohio State University over any of this. Until now, and now we’re supposed to look the other way and hand them the AP Poll because – well – the AP Poll voters (press) are supposed to IGNORE than Ohio State University has had all these advantages in order to build all these teams for a DECADE. It started with Maurice Clarett in 2002 and continued until their NCAA Probation 2012. And, of course, Ohio State University covered it all up. This is why Jim Tressel was fired.

He was seen yelling at his position coach during the Northwestern – Ohio State University game in the 2002 season. In December 2002, he publicly criticized OSU officials for not paying for him to fly home for the funeral of a friend. Maurice Clarett accused administrators of lying when they said he had not filed the necessary paperwork. In July 2003, Maurice Clarett became the center of an academic scandal when a teaching assistant told the New York Times that Clarett had received preferential treatment from a professor. Duh.

Maurice Clarett had filed a false claim that more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment were stolen from a car he borrowed from a local dealership in September 2003. Athletic Director Andy Geiger stated at the time that Maurice Clarett also took special benefits totaling approximately $20,000. There were no sanctions for any of that either. Maurice Clarett repeatedly misled investigators. Clarett later pleaded guilty to a failure to aid a law enforcement official.

Maurice Clarett signed with an agent before being denied the opportunity to join the NFL Draft, and the NCAA refused to reinstate his college eligibility on a number of grounds.

4.82 Maurice Clarett put up for his Combine 40-yard dash, and just up and quit the Combine at that point. He actually then asked Ohio State University, who refused to allow him to take part in a private workout for pro scouts in Columbus because it wanted to avoid a circus situation.

Maurice Clarett was drafted in the 3rd Round, and was released on waivers on August 28, 2005, only a month after signing his contract with no guaranteed monies. He never played even a single down in the NFL. Other teams could have claimed him and taken on his contract, then he was freed from that contract and was able to negotiate with any team, but no team expressed interest.

As his college and NFL careers tanked, The Miami Herald reported in September that Clarett was already $1 million in debt from legal fees for his fight with the NFL and other costs. They also reported that Clarett turned down the traditional signing bonus in the originally proposed contract from Denver wanting incentives that would get if he ran 1000 yards multiple seasons.

I am not even going to get in to all his arrests, mental health evaluations, police chases, guns, robberies, or his prisons.

Question of the week for all my fellow Jackets fans: Will losing to Georgia by 35 or more be enough for our insane school administration to finally fire the idiot who poses as our head football coach? Here’s hoping it doesn’t take that much.

Alabama crushes Auburn, Florida St. beats Florida by 11, LSU pounds Arkansas by 20 and Georgia beats Tech by 18 , Clemson beats Gamecocks by 8.
Its Georgias game to lose but that wont be by lack of performances on the Offense and Defense, it may come down to turn overs, penalties that help Tech and Special Teams.
Our FG Kicker is young and hasnt had alot of pressure kicking the winning FG, then our poor special teams that dont cover kicks offs well or punts could be a factor.
Penalties arent Georgias best friend either. Alot of dumb penalties have hurt Georgia and alot of our games with Tech have come from momentum swings.
You best believe that Tech has nothing to lose and so expect trick plays alot in this game, fake FG’s, fake punts, 10 yard kickoffs and reverses.
Their gonna blitz like never before on Murray hoping for an interception, fumble or a srtrip of the ball.
This is why “Nothing to lose Teams” gain momentum and upsets.
Dawgs have got to keep all this in the back of their minds. Tech wants an upset or dethroning of Georgia and will do anything to accomplish that feat.
Stay focused, be aware, be confident in yourself, execute and blow them off the lines. Stay in your lanes and not get sucked in by deception.
This is especially important for those CB’s and Safeties because Ga Southern had recievers 20 yards down the field.Seal the corners and up the middle and jam their running game and it wont be close.
Force Tech to throw and its over for them.

Georgia Tech has the nation’s highest average SAT score for football players, and also the highest average high school GPA.

UGA, on the other hand, has one of the very lowest SAT averages, as well as a very low GPA average. As a result, 88% of UGA players are “special admits,” when means that they can not meet the minimum educational and intelligence requirements for admission to UGA, even as low as that is. As a practical matter, most UGA players are functionally illiterate and will spend their lives on welfare or pushing a mop at a business that took pity on them and gave them a menial job.

Yes, it would be great if Tech was more competitive with UGA, but Tech fans are proud of our heritage of having intelligent, responsible athletes who go on to rewarding careers and contribute to society.

Contrast this with the very unintelligent thugs that UGA recruits. The 53 arrests over the last four years is proof enough, not to mention winning the Fulmer Cup. Most of these goons are tossed out after their eligibility is over, and many end up on welfare.

UGA is clearly just a football factory dedicated to winning at all costs, and most UGA fans are okay with this, with no concern about the embarrassment this brings to the State of Georgia.

Mark Richt is the architect of this situation. As long as he is paid a huge salary, he will continue to recruit the illiterate brain-dead thugs who he thinks will win. Unfortunately for UGA fans, he’s not remotely in the same league with the top coaches in the SEC.

So the bottom line is that Georgia Tech – win or lose – does so with honor and integrity, while the lowlife punks, woman beaters, drug users, and drunks in Athens continue to embarrass us all.

Good to see everyone in the holiday spirit, with love and kindness to your fellow man. LMAO! Can Tech win? Yeah, we can win. The math works against it…but. I’m not planning on a victory party. Based on my eyeball test this year, yeah, Georgia has slopped around a lot, but they still win the games. Tech on the other hand has performed worse than a D1a team. Bottom line: UGA believes it can win every game, and shows it. Even if the athletes were comparable (which they’re not) I haven’t seen Tech demonstrate it believes anything about winning. Not against even a mediocre team (VaTech, Miami, and, God help us, MTSU for crying out loud) If these two teams play 10 times, Georgia wins 9. Better athletes, yes, but mostly because they believe they can. Long day for us, I’m afraid.

Dawg Nation,

First of all, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Michael Snell and I am one of this year’s Battle Hymn Soloists, a tradition I’ve proudly been part of for 3 years – through the good, the bad, and the ugly that has defined Georgia Football in these last few seasons.

In recent seasons, students and fans alike have taken the initiative to organize unofficial “Blackouts,” sporting the black half of the Red and Black in a spirited effort to express the pride we have in our team and university which unites the entire Bulldog Nation.

While I understand that some of our fans are superstitious of this “tradition,” I believe it’s important to recognize that correlation does not imply causation – our team doesn’t win or lose because of the colors of fans’ clothes. And, if anything, this show of spirit further ignites the game day atmosphere in Sanford Stadium.

In the media, Dawg fans never get the pleasure of hearing about how intimidating their stadium is – how difficult it is for an opposing away team to succeed in such an “electric” environment.

Our football team – the one that has fought to a 10-1 record thus far – represents us well as one of the top 3 teams in the nation. And we owe it to them to be one of the top 3 fan bases in the nation – to give them a game day environment as menacing as they are.

I don’t know what the remainder of this season has in store, but any respectable Bulldog fan should know the stakes are high. And at this point in the season, anything can happen. This weekend, we expect our players to give it their all. It’s time for our fans to do the same.

It’s time to blackout. If our fans can pull together and proudly sport that menacing black, then I will too.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Do not be surprised if Oregon is ranked ahead of the Dogs next week,especially if Florida State beats Florida.It is too bad that Tech has such a poor record this year ,it will cost the Dogs in the polls ,because Oregon will get more credit for beating their in state rival Oregon State because they are ranked in the top 20.Not wanting to create unwanted drama ,just trying to prepare UGA fans for what the so called ESPN experts “Dr. Lou ,Mark May,Cowherd , Mike &Mike ,etc . etc.” will be pushing on the airwaves.

DDD & Just Saying. …………Georgia Tech had the nation’s best average SAT score for football players, 1028 of a possible 1600, and best average high school GPA, 3.39 of a possible 4.0. But because its student body is apparently very smart, Tech’s football players still scored 315 SAT points lower than their classmates.

Many schools routinely used a special admissions process to admit athletes who did not meet the normal entrance requirements. More than half of scholarship athletes at the University of Georgia, the University of Wisconsin, Clemson University, UCLA, Rutgers University, Texas A&M University and Louisiana State University were special admits. . . At Georgia, for instance, 73.5 percent of athletes were special admits compared with 6.6 percent of the student body as a whole.

The SEC is full of IDIOTS playing football. Look how many are in the BOTTOM 10.

I never said anything contrary to those stats… My question to you is this- how many players were offered by Tech that would have drastically lowered your averages SAT score? Some of the best players, with lower scores, were offered by Tech but they just chose not to accept. I am not going to continue doing research for you, so if you are really interested in this you should look it up. I am guessing a little here but feel pretty safe that you offered more players that would have been special admits, but they just didn’t accept your offer. I could be wrong, if so… prove it.

Yes TECH did offer a few that would have had to go through the Special Admit process. Most of those wouldn’t have been accepted and that is just how it is at TECH. Do we want some of those players? YES, can they help TECH? No, not if they have no shot of staying in school and on the field.

RMikel58, most of the people on here talking big time smack about the Dawgs are not GT fans for the most part. I assure you most of us true GT fans say a few things but we do not downgrade UGA like you seem to think we do. As far as your sports programs, no doubt in almost all but Basketball and Baseball you do dominate as you should. Let’s look at the size of the school and the requirements to get into UGA compared to GT, do they really compare I DO NOT THINK SO!!!!

You look at this game coming up Saturday and no way should GT win this game this year or any other year for that matter. Can it happen, sure and something is telling me that it might strictly because of what it means for both schools to win. UGA has alot more riding on this then the Jackets do but at the same time these Jackets want this game in a bad way to ruin UGA’s chances if nothing else. As far as people downgrading the University of Georgia well the past speaks for itself and what has happened under CMR in his 12 years.

It is not the University of Georgia or the Football team that most people do not like, it is the rude abnoxious fans or so called fans that follow the program that people can not stand. UGA has played two teams this year being USC and UF and are 1-1 so to say that UGA is worthy we will see in two weeks..

While a GT win on Saturday would make for a GREAT start to the Holiday season, unfortunately, GT rarely seams to pull off “the Baylor over K-St” kind of wins.

If the Jackets somehow keep the game close, or even manage to have a late lead, something fortunate will happen for the Dawgs on the way to their W. Fortune (i.e. Stafford pk-6, Samuels fumble) has only happened once for the Jackets this century vs the Dawgs. And I don’t expect it to happen on Sat. I’m really surprised that the line is only 13. Have the oddsmakers not seen GT’s D?

@Anne of Cleves:

To quote Disraeli: “Lies, damn lies and statistics.”

Here are the real data: Tech football recruits had an average SAT of 1028/1600, which is indeed the highest in the country. Georgia’s SAT average for football recruits is 949/1600, which is above the NCAA average of 941 for NCAA Division I programs–not in the bottom percentage.

U.Ga’s football players carry an APR (Academic progress rate) of 970, which compare favorably with Tech’s APR of 974 and is third in the SEC.

U.Ga graduates 69% of its football players, fifth in the SEC. Tech graduates 55% of its players, which is dead last in the ACC.

Your manufactured “data” are refuted by the facts. U.Ga’s players are most emphatically not “functionally illiterate.” In fact, the junior quarterback who will torch your feeble secondary on Saturday has already graduated, made over 1500 on the SAT and is working on his MBA. The fact that your program is not competitive is because of poor recruiting and inadequate coaching. Stanford is an academic institution that most would say has a better international reputation than Georgia Tech. They beat the number one team in the nation last weekend. It sure doesn’t seem like their academics have been an impediment to success. Notre Dame, another academically strong institution, is doing pretty well on the gridiron, as well. Stop hiding behind this manufactured “academics” excuse and accept the obvious: your football program is just not very good. And stop making up data about Georgia players and about Mark Richt, who has more integrity in his little finger than Paul Johnson has accumulated during his entire lifetime. The arrests you talk about are largely of the minor underage drinking variety–and they are made public knowledge because Coach Richt is an honest man and does not believe in covering anything up. At least we didn’t have any coaches smoking pot at work and getting a DUI, like a certain former North Avenue Trade School employee, or conspiring to sell over 100 pounds of marijuana, as happened with Reuben Houston a few years back (who was re-instated the week of the Georgia game a few years back). We didn’t have to give up a conference title because of improper benefits to athletes, like the Jackets did a few years back.

If you make accusations, you’d better be prepared to back them up with facts. Here are a couple of links:

At Heeldawg–UGA is a fine institution. Compare special admits for each football team and see what you come up with.That gives UGA a tremendous edge in recruiting.You lose credability when you talk about improper benefits costing GT a conference title. That happened over a sweat suit and a pair of shoes which were given back– kind of like the minor UGA arrests.You sound like the other losers attacking UGA.

Fantasy- you offer many athletes who just don’t accept the offer… if they did you would have more special admits… Boston College, UNC, Michigan, Wake Forest, Virginia, USC, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Duke, and Stanford all rank higher than tech academically yet still recruit better than you do… do you think they don’y have special admits? You would have many more if your offers were accepted instead of rejected.

===============================

Every school you mentioned offers their version of “Rocks for Jocks” courses. Those schools have easy majors kids can take and graduate but still barely read above an 8th grade level. UNC had students and tutors writing papers and taking tests for players. A BS degree is more difficult than a BA degree. Take the time to look at the course requirements for the degrees TECH offers. There are no P.E. or Housing degrees at Tech.

So your excuse for the fact that your scholarship recruits are not suited for the purpose for which they are intended is that, despite the fact that Georgie tek tells us their high school GPA and SAT scores are the highest in the nation, less than half of them graduate in football with a 45 Federal Graduation Rate 2011-012 and 15 percent of them graduate in men’s basketball with a 15 Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012. And, they are the pits at winning.

It must really frost yours that you have to dream up such pitiful excuses.

Let me ask you this ?

Why do your scholarship recruits in men’s tennis graduate at a 88 percent Federal Graduation Rate ?

Oh, you have no answer for that ? Really ?

Georgia tek men’s tennis graduate at a 88 percent Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012, Georgie tek men’s swimming graduate at a 80 percent Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012, and men’s track and field graduate at a 74 percent Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012. In fact, all Georgie tek’s sports all graduate at a much better Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012 than your 45 percent Football and 15 percent men’s basketball Federal Graduation Rate 2011-2012.

So timeout runs in here and says the answer is that a BS degree is just too damn hard. Excuse me, every other scholarship recruit to Georgie tek except football and men’s basketball graduate just fine. It’s just your football players and your men’s basketball players are wholly unable to be suited for the purpose for which they are intended either on the football field or on the men’s basketball court, or in the same classrooms taking the same courses at the same time from the same professors with the same BS degree requirements.

How can this be ?

Aren’t these BOTH too, the very same 2 sports, football and men’s basketball, which are BOTH too the very ones in which Georgie tek is on NCAA PROBATION Major Infractions’ Database ? Yes.

Get out of here with your FLIMSY EXCUSES, time-out. You were not on the Debate Team at Georgie tek, were you time-out ?

# 6 school Stanford 26-11 men’s basketball, 9-2 football
# 8 school Duke 27-7 men’s basketball, 6-5 football
# 12 school Northwestern 19-14 men’s basketball, 8-3 football
# 17 school Vanderbilt 25-11 men’s basketball, 7-4 football
# 18 school Notre Dame 22-12 men’s basketball, 11-0 football
# 24 school Southern Cal 6-26 men’s basketball, 7-4 football
# 25 school Virginia 22-10 men’s basketball, 4-7 football
# 27 school Weak Forest 13-18 men’s basketball, 5-6 football
# 29 school Michigan 24-10 men’s basketball, 8-3 football
# 30 school North Carolina 32-6 men’s basketball, 7-4 football
# 31 school Boston College 9-22 men’s basketball, 2-9 football
# 36 school Georgie tek 11-20 men’s basketball, 6-5 football
# 63 school Georgia 15-17 men’s basketball, 10-1 football

None of your other sports and none of these higher ranked schools, better schools, have issues with their graduation rates of their men’s basketball and football players, nor their performance on the football gridiron nor on the gym courts. It’s just that Georgie tek’s scholarship recruits in men’s basketball and football, both on NCAA PROBATION Major Infractions’ Database, are not suited for the purpose for which they are intended, either in their sport, nor in their classrooms.

Why is that ?

Then, of course, there is you sitting there telling us that the reason why your football players graduate at 45 percent and why your men’s basketball players graduate at 15 percent is that the degree requirements at Georgie tek for a BS are just too tough.

Then, we look at every other sport at Georgie tek and see none of them are having any issues with the BS degree at all, including men’s golf, men’s track and field, men’s tennis, men’s swimming and diving- it’s just football and men’s basketball that the degree requirements for a BS degree are just too hard.

We’re told that at Georgie tek, the school is so severe because it is 1 of the nation’s top universities right up there with # 1 Harvard.

But, we look that up too, and no again the nerds have grossly exaggerated that too, and Georgie tek is ranked as actually a WORSE school than Duke, North Carolina, Northwestern, Stanford, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Notre Dame, Southern California, Weak Forest, Michigan, and Notre Dame.

And all those BETTER schools all do far better than Georgie tek is graduating their scholarship recruits in football and in men’s basketball than Georgie tek does, and they do far better than Georgie tek in football and in men’s basketball than Georgie tek does as well.

So, you will change to subject now to the people posting here now that we’ve completed debunked your utter lies, distortions, and flattering comparisons with the top schools all doing BETTER than Georgie tek in football and in men’s basketball and at graduating their scholarship recruits.

Quit trying to make excuses for your recruits in football and in men’s basketball. They are not suited for the purpose for which they are intended in their sports nor in your classrooms, and that is why they cannot graduate from a school so strict as Georgie tek, nor compete in their sport either – as you were told by

Georgia Tech has the nation’s highest average SAT score for football players, and also the highest average high school GPA.

UGA, on the other hand, has one of the very lowest SAT averages, as well as a very low GPA average. As a result, 84% of UGA players are “special admits,” when means that they can not meet the minimum educational and intelligence requirements for admission to UGA, even as low as that is. As a practical matter, most UGA players are functionally illiterate and will spend their lives on welfare or pushing a mop at a business that took pity on them and gave them a menial job.

Yes, it would be great if Tech was more competitive with UGA, but Tech fans are proud of our heritage of having intelligent, responsible athletes who go on to rewarding careers and contribute to society.

Contrast this with the very unintelligent dummies that UGA recruits. The 53 arrests over the last four years is proof enough, not to mention winning the Fulmer Cup. Most of these goons are tossed out after their eligibility is over, and many end up on welfare.

UGA is clearly just a football factory dedicated to winning at all costs, and most UGA fans are okay with this, with no concern about the embarrassment this brings to the State of Georgia.

Mark Richt is the architect of this situation. As long as he is paid a huge salary, he will continue to recruit the illiterate brain-dead thugs who he thinks will win. Unfortunately for UGA fans, he’s not remotely in the same league with the top coaches in the SEC.

So the bottom line is that Georgia Tech – win or lose – does so with honor and integrity, while the lowlife punks, woman beaters, drug users, and drunks in Athens continue to embarrass us all.

I like the way Richt is so scared of Paul Johnson’s offense, when only having a week to prepare for it. Rather than schedule a week of before playing Tech, he scheduled a weak sister that playes the same offense. Absolutely no chance of losing, but better than playing a scout team of UGA players. As the beer commercial said, “Brilliant!” UGA 60 GaTech 21

Stafford SHOULD be fat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had he stayed for the full 4 years under CMB there would not have been enough money in the NFL to pay him what he would have been worth but he possibly would have settled for 49% ownwership of the entire NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember he was the FIRST DRAFT PICK which dumped Half A Zillion Dollars in his lap. Had over 400 yds. passing Thursday but Detroit HC got a 15 yd. penalty for throwing the Protest Flag a little early and it cost Detroit the game(Worse rule in NFL History that likely will be changed in the offseason)

Ole Fatt Matt is pulling Ole #81(Calvin Whats-his-name) along with him by getting the ball to him like nobody in Calvin WHN past was able to do. Calvin owes Fatt Matt Staff bigtime.

After/if both Georgia and Oregon with their in-state rivalries, no pollster in their right mind will vote for Georgia at #2 and not Oregon.

What is interesting about the Pac-12 is that if Stanford goes on to beat UCLA tomorrow, they will face each other again in the Pac-12 championship game. If UCLA goes on to win, they will face Oregon. Also, if UCLA beats Stanford, I see no reason why they wouldn’t move up into the top 10 in the BCS standings (if not the human-polls). Their two loses coming to Oregon State (currently #15 in the BCS and, inexplicably, Cal – what happened there, no one knows).

Anyway, I fully expect Stanford to win the Pac-12 and play Nebraska in the Rose Bowl, but Oregon to play Alabama in the BCS game, after being ranked #2, especially after Alabama destroys Georgia.
