10 favorite Georgia wins over Tech gets an updating
Caleb King runs away from the Jackets in the 2009 win at Grant Field. (Brant Sanderlin / AJC)
Last year, in the afterglow of my unexpectedly enjoyable journey to Grant Field, I said I’d have to adjust the list of my 10 all-time favorite Georgia victories over Tech in order to accomodate the Dogs’ 2009 upset win over the No. 7 ranked Jackets.
There are a lot to choose from in compiling such a list, fortunately. As I noted last year, I’ve been fortunate to have followed the Dogs through a wonderful era beginning with Vince Dooley’s first team that has seen Georgia dominate Tech 34-12, with the Dogs twice running off seven wins in a row while the Jackets have three times won two in a row and had one streak of three in a row over Jim Donnan. So there have been many more great days for the Red and Black in the in-state rivalry than there have been bad ones.
But these are the wins over the insects of which I’m especially fond …
1964: Georgia wins 7-0 in Athens. The first of Dooley’s 19 wins over the Jackets in 25 seasons was played on a cold, rainy day Between the Hedges. I had to listen to Ed Thilenius call it on radio by my Dad was there and came home damp but extremely happy. A Tech fumble was recovered by the Dogs at the 22, leading to a winning score by Preston Ridlehuber. The Dogs went on to the Sun Bowl while the loss to Georgia kept the Jackets out of the Gator Bowl, which made the win even sweeter.
1971: Georgia wins 28-24 in Atlanta. This nationally televised game on Thanksgiving night was highlighted by one of the greatest Bulldog comebacks ever. Tech had jumped out to a 14-0 lead and led 17-14 at halftime. Led by Andy Johnson, a classmate of mine in junior high and at Athens High School, the Dogs roared back in the second half to take a 21-17 lead, only to see Tech regain the upper hand, 24-21. The Dogs got the ball at their own 30 with 1:29 on the clock and in one of the most memorable Georgia drives of my lifetime Andy’s running and passing moved them downfield, with Jimmy Poulos going over for the winning TD. As I was chatting with Andy at our 40th high school reunion a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help thinking about that night.
1975: Georgia wins 42-26 in Atlanta. Another nationally telecast Thanksgiving night game on ABC saw the Dogs, led by Ray Goff and Glynn Harrison, run wild over Pepper Rodgers’ Jackets in freezing weather. I was watching this at my future wife’s family home just two days before our wedding (Monday will be our 35th anniversary), and their next-door neighbor was a big Tech fan. We promised to touch base after the game. I got to make the victory call.
1978: Georgia wins 29-28 in Athens. The game that cemented Buck Belue’s place in the Bulldog pantheon two years before the national championship. The Jackets were up 20-0 when the freshman quarterback got put into the game late in the first half. Helped by a great Scott Woerner punt return, Belue brought the Dogs back and threw a fourth-quarter scoring pass to Amp Arnold that gave Georgia the choice of kicking the PAT for a tie or going for two points and the win. Dooley the gambler won.
1981: Georgia wins 44-7 in Atlanta. The Dogs were riding high with Herschel Walker, but somehow that week the Atlanta sports media latched onto the idea that Georgia was ripe for an upset and we had to put up with a week of hype for the Jackets. Belue put an end to that nonsense on the first play from scrimmage with an 80-yard scoring strike to Lindsay Scott. Oh yes, and Herschel scored four touchdowns.
1993: Georgia wins 43-10 in Atlanta. Another Thanksgiving Day game on TV. This is the one where a brawl between the two teams broke out late after the Jackets had been mouthing off throughout the game. I can still see Ray Goff pulling players out of the fray like they were children.
1997: Georgia wins 27-24 in Atlanta. Tech took a 24-21 lead and thought it had won the game, but Mike Bobo, who threw four touchdown passes that day, led the Dogs downfield, with four pass plays in 40 seconds. The folks in yellow and white still gripe about the interference flag that helped the Dogs along. I think everyone in my neighborhood probably heard the yell I let out when Corey Allen made that winning catch.
2002: Georgia wins 51-7 in Athens. Total domination from beginning to end for Mark Richt’s SEC champions. Probably the most satisfying performance I’ve ever seen by a Georgia team against Tech. And still one of the best days I can ever recall in Sanford Stadium.
2006: Georgia wins 15-12 in Athens. Tech was the ACC Coastal Division champion and No. 16 in the country while Georgia was unranked. You would have expected Tech to be the overwhelming favorite, but the oddsmakers liked the Dogs by 2. Probably because Reggie Ball was Tech’s QB and no team could get in Ball’s head like Georgia. I remember having no doubt the Dogs would win this game simply because the Jackets still had our favorite QB. It didn’t hurt, though, that Paul Oliver never let Tech’s celebrated receiver, Calvin Johnson, become a factor. My daughter says this is the most exciting game she’s ever seen.
2009: Georgia wins 30-24 in Atlanta. I had not been in Grant Field in decades, but my son took me as a belated birthday treat. Georgia uncharacteristically took the ball after winning the coin toss and set the template for the game by marching down the field on a 10-play scoring drive that saw the Dogs keeping it exclusively on the ground. Washaun Ealey ended up with 183 yards rushing on the night and Caleb King had 166, including a fantastic 75-yard touchdown run where the Jackets trailing after him reminded me of one of Herschel’s scores against Tech way back when. What a sweet walk that was from Grant Field back to the MARTA station amidst all those downcast folks in gold and white and blue!
I had to move a game down to “honorable mention” status in order to get last year’s game into my Top 10, and it was the 1995 game, where Georgia won 18-17 in Atlanta — coincidentally, the last time the Dogs had to beat Tech in order to become bowl-eligible. Hines Ward was still at QB and led Georgia back from 14 points down, with Kanon Parkman’s late field goal providing the difference. As I’ve said before, Ray Goff might not have been much of a coach, but he still managed to win five straight over Tech.

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching Paul Johnson scream and cuss at his jittery, inexperienced QB after turning the ball over 4 times against the Dawgs in 2010.
I was so proud of Richt for never letting off the gas pedel, and showing Tech that it was NOT ok to rip the hedges out 2 years ago.
The 48-13 win in 2010 is one of MY top favorites…….

I think the 2006 game won by the Dawgs 15-13 should receive some attention. The 1983 game where the Dawgs won 27-24 was a good one as well. Bill Curry had a lousy team that year, but I’ll be damned if his boys didn’t come out ready to play.
Actually I think this game could be a lot closer than folks think. I know on paper, many people think UGA should win this game easily. But wins have not been easy to come by for either team this year. This Dawg fan thinks Paul Johnson is going to have his boys ready to play. I think its going to be a good game. I’m thinking Dawgs by like a field goal!

Oh yeah, and I was there for the 51-7 game in 2002. I’ve never seen UGA put together such a dominating performance. Honestly, I really didn’t think we were 44 points better than Tech that year. But we were fresh off of beating Auburn and were on a roll. Tech got hit in the mouth early by a team that had a ton of mojo and they didn’t know how to respond. We could do no wrong and they could do no right that day( kind of like what happened to us vs. Florida in 2008 but in reverse). It was just one of those days!

Bill, did you really have to slip a Goff bash into the last paragraph? I know not all of Ray’s teams had the best records (although they were 10-2 one year). But Ray conducted himself like a gentleman, his players graduated, they stayed out of trouble, and they never quit. I know the wins weren’t always there and that’s important too, but I’d take Goff over Donnan any day. “Not much of a coach”? You’re better than that, Bill.

My favorite one by far was the 2004 game. David Greene got hurt and Tech came out on a roll in the 2nd half. DJ Shockley couldn’t get anything done that day, so with the game on the line David Greene comes back in and completes some big throws, including a huge 3rd down pass to Reggie Brown. Then Brandon Coutu hits a big field goal.

I was at that high school field in Atlanta in 1997, this of coarse was before the engineers could calculate the seating capacity, and what a game it was. I had sideline passes for the 2001 game decked in my red and black, Tech fans not happy at all, I was in the end zone when Tim Wansley picked off Godsey. Wansley spun the ball at our feet, oh what good times in Atlanta

I’ve never understood how anyone – even an alumnus – could support and take any pride in UGA’s football team. When you look at their history for the past 40+ years, how can anyone ignore Jan Kemp and the “remedial studies” scam, the Jim Harrick fiasco, the DUIs in the athletic office, the DUIs and other arrests of players, the #1 party school tag (i.e., the most drunk students), the suspensions and outright dismissals, the Fulmer Cup, and on and on?
As disgraceful and humiliating as it is, I don’t see many alums and fans demanding an end to this sordid activity. It sets UGA apart as the kind of school most people abhor, and it’s become an embarrassment to the whole state of Georgia.
Will it never end? Apparently not while Mark Richt is at UGA. Richt is perhaps the biggest hypocrite in the United States. But even with all the cheating and lawlessness that he ignores, he still can’t win the SEC.
There’s a reason why UGA is known far and wide as The Cesspool of the South.
UGA, runaway winner of the Fulmer/Richt Cup.

Hey Chip, my favorite win was Georgia’s 51 to 7 beatdown of Tech in 2010 in Athens. It was also Mark Richt’s last home game as UGA’s head coach. The fervor was short lived when we lost to Kent State in the Birmongham bowl the next month.

About 1974 when Andy Johnson brought them back with a late drive to win on national television turned me into a Georgia fan at the age of 10. Then, when I grew up, I realized that inasmuch as the football team represents the university under whose name they play, I became a Georgia Tech fan. Go Jackets.

Last year’s win will ALWAYS be my favorite….51-7 is next. Reggie’s throw into the hedges on 4th down is special. The 1971 Thanksgiving night come-from-behind game was great because I, like you, knew Andy and Poulas and those guys—and the 1976 game–in the rain–when we looked like we had fumbled away a chance for a winning field goal in the closing minutes, only to have Tech fumble it right back on the next play (10-7 win)—hell, beating Tech is like sex…the worst I ever had was fantastic…

Bill, I’m glad you mentioned the 1971 game with Andy Johnson; I thought I was the only one who remembered it. I was at my parents’ house on leave from the Navy. As a Tech fan (primarily), it was tough to watch the end of that last drive. I enjoyed watching Andy as a fullback in the pros for several years.

I ran my mouth just a little too much that day but I really enjoyed that UGA victory. I got to see many a more UGA games after that. But I surely do remember my first game.

Oh, 1978 and its no contest … it was my freshman year, it was on national TV when there was only one college game a week on television and the atmosphere was over the top. Its also the greatest college football game I’ve ever seen in person … it had everything. A comeback from way down, an interception return for a TD, a kickoff return for a TD, two two-point conversions when there was no OT option, and the winning touchdown came on a fourth down pass.
Later I obtained the recording of Munson doing the game … they went to a station break just before the last drive and you hear Larry send it to the local stations with the usual “this is the Georgia football network” but then there is a pause, and suddenly you hear Munson blurt out “there is no sense in going away because you KNOW it’s not gonna end like this!” and the local station did their call sign.
He was right, of course … it didn’t.
