Latest installment in Clean Old Fashioned Hate (Updated)
Clean Old Fashioned Hate reigns every week. (Collegeflagsandbanners.com)
I’ve seen this referred to as Hate Week II since Georgia and Georgia Tech meet in men’s basketball tonight, the Lady Dogs already having fallen to the Lady Jackets on Sunday.
But let’s face it, when it comes to the Dogs and Jackets, every week is Hate Week.
You’ve no doubt seen the supporters of the Institute show up in this forum from time to time, taking their shots at UGA. A year ago most of their posts were ridiculing Georgia’s bowl game destination: Shreveport.
Typical was a comment from a GT fan calling himself Toe Meets Leather, who opined: “I think the greatest challenge facing UGA will be concentrating on Texas A&M, given the tremendous distraction posed by leisure time in the great metropolitan area of SHREVEPORT! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. ”
Funny, I’m not seeing too many posts comparing the respective teams’ bowl destinations this year. Both teams finished with 6-6 records, but Georgia is headed to Memphis, home of Graceland and Beale Street and a short ride from the Mississippi casinos, while Tech is going to … Shreveport.
George O'Leary has a 3-4 record against the Dogs since getting rescued off that island. (Turner Home Entertainment)
At least Tech fans are consistent, though. They didn’t think much of Shreveport last year and apparently don’t think much of it now that their own team is going there; thus the school is offering discounted tickets to the Independence Bowl for just $14 to the first 5,000 purchasers. Maybe they ought to throw in a Coke and a hot dog.
Of course, there’s a slight Tech connection to Georgia’s bowl destination, too, as the Dogs will be playing the 24th-ranked Central Florida Golden Knights (there’s that color again) led by former Tech coach George O’Leary, who has a 3-4 career record against the Dogs that includes the infamous three in a row that got Jim Donnan canned.
As for tonight’s game, the home team has won all but one of these rivalry matches since the series returned to home-and-home in the 1995-96 season after 14 years at the Omni. The exception was 10 years ago when Georgia won at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. So Tech probably ought to be considered the favorite tonight, even though Georgia comes into the game with a slightly better record and the Jackets have lost two straight, including by 20 points to Northwestern. They also got beat by Kennesaw State earlier in the season.
Last year, Georgia upset the No. 20 ranked Jackets 73-66 in Athens (where Tech hasn’t won since Gerald Ford was president). Making it two years in a row would be a definite step forward for Mark Fox’s program and wouldn’t hurt in recruiting Atlanta kids, either. Also, a win on the road against the Jackets would be a big plus in trying to make the NCAA tourney. Along those lines, the game is being televised nationally on ESPN2.
Win or lose, though, Dogs fans can take comfort in the fact that Georgia’s not going to battle the distractions of Shreveport this year.
And Tech is.
You think Toe Meets Leather is still laughing?
Go Dogs!
UPDATE: Another thriller in the “Thrillerdome.” Great 3-point shooting by Dustin Ware, especially that last basket. But Mark Fox’s Dogs could have made it a lot easier on themselves if their free-throw shooting was stronger. That’s definitely an area that needs improvement. Still, a great win in Atlanta!

I do think it is important to point out that Tech fans were making fun of UGA playing in Shreveport when they were playing in a BCS bowl, while UGA fans are making fun of Tech playing in Shreveport when they are playing in Memphis. I’m not thrilled with Tech playing in Shreveport, but its not because I wish they were playing in Memphis.

$14? They couldn’t get 5000 tech fans to go to Shreveport if they gave the tickets away. The Joke by the Coke once again lives up to its name. All the Tech fans I know are still crowing about how they “outsmarted” and “outplayed” Georgia. Thank God football has scoreboards and not judges. And to the Techster crowing about the Tech women winning in basketball….yep…you sure did. Congratulations. That’s 3 times now in just 30 years, so your women are following in the steps of your football team. I in 10.

JaxDawg05 – Nesbitt missed a quarter and a half of last years GT/UGA game after UGA intentionally twisted his knee in a pile up. (That’s why it was funny to hear your fans cry about Fairley this year). It did have a big impact on last years game.
I do agree running QB’s do get hurt more often and all Nesbitt’s backups are smaller than him. Next year we may need 2-3 QB’s to finish the season.

How come no penalty was called last year?

I had no problem with what Fairley did. I’m only sorry that Ben Jones missed when he went after him on the next play. If Erk was still running the defense, Fairley would have left on a stretcher after the ambulance got brought onto the field.

DawginLex speaks the truth.
The Felton vs. Phewitt games were the worst displays of basketball I’ve ever seen. Pathetic…fouls, turnovers, missed f/t’s, etc…just horrible.
At least one team will have some fundamentals tonight, unfortunately it will be yours. I think y’all win and Phewitt gets booed like never before.
This will be the closest I’ve ever come to pulling for UGA. If the game gets out of hand, I will start pulling for y’all to run it up.
I hope we win, cause we are still going to get kill when the conference schedule kicks in.
Phewitt and his excuses will be gone and GT will start next season with a new coach.

Running quarterbacks are not very effective when they stand on the sidelines hurt. Also, I don’t think Aaron Murray was looking for contact standing in the pocket after completing a pass. Nesbitt should look for contact on EVERY play.
UGAG Heritage

Oh what heritage UGAG has:

Athletics Director resigning in disgrace
UGA President Fred Davison resigning in disgrace
UGA’ academic and athletic programs found by a Federal court
to have been committing blatant academic fraud
And here, for all to see is the REAL HERITAGE of UGA:
from UGA’s very own Dr. Leroy Ervin, who says it all in a manner so clear during the Jan Kemp trial, that no one can refute.
Secretly taped at a faculty meeting, then-remedial studies boss
Leroy Ervin told his staff:
“I know for a fact that these kids(athletes) would not be here if it were not for their utility to the institution… . They are used as a kind of raw material in the production of some goods to be sold as whatever product, and they get nothing in return.”
So much to be proud of.

Enough with the disparaging remarks about the city of Memphis. Congratulations, but watching the highly dramatized series, The First 48, does not make one an expert on Memphis. Having spent 4 years in Athens and seen plenty of Atlanta (including a game at Grant Field), I’m no more worried in downtown Memphis than downtown Atlanta. Heck, even Athens (which I love to death) has housing projects across from Brumby Hall. Did those people haul off and stab UGA students ? No. And neither will anybody in Memphis. Memphis is absolutely thrilled to have Georgia and its going to be a great time for locals, fans, and teams alike.
FYI: Memphis is the 40th largest metropolitan area (19th largest city) with a population of 1.3million. Shreveport is the 130th largest metropolitan area with a population of 391,000. Big difference folks.
UGAG Heritage
December 7th, 2010

Oh, and lets not forget this gem from good old UGA Alumnus Hale Almand’s opening statement to the Federal jury during the Jan Kemp trial:
UGA attorney Hale Almand, in his opening remarks to the jury, set an unfortunate tone:
“We may not make a university student out of him, but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbage man when he gets through with his athletic career.”
Such a lasting heritage for UGAG fans to be proud of.

As a Tech fan I have to agree that Tech fans are probably not going to the Shreveport bowl. Maybe im a bad fan but the thought of taking time off of work, to go to Shreveport La and watch a game against Air Force isn’t exactly appealing. Plus the game will probably be over in 2 hours. If GT gave me $50 and a ticket I think I would still stay home.
As for tonights game. I’m a little torn. I always want my team to win but a humiliating loss at home to our rivals could end up being really good thing for our program. So UGA, if you are going to win then win by a lot.

ATHENS, Ga., Jan. 3, 1985 — The University of Georgia said today that its football program had been placed on probation by the Natonal Collegiate Athletic Association for one year over recruiting violations. The penalty, the school said, would not affect television or bowl appearances.

Once again:
UGA attorney Hale Almand, in his opening remarks to the jury,
set an unfortunate tone:
“We may not make a university student out of him, but IF WE CAN TEACH HIM TO READ AND WRITE, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as A GARBAGE MAN when he gets through with his athletic career.”
You see, the lesson here is plain and simple…
Almand’s statement make it clear…
UGA had NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER and ensuring that student-athletes graduate. Illiterate players were PURPOSELY enrolled at UGA as
Student-Athletes for the……ONLY REASON……to play football and GENERATE MONEY for the private corporation called the UGA Athletic Association.
Oh what a proud legacy UGAG has.

Actualy the thought of two “football first” teams getting riled up for a basketball game is amusing.
When both teams have their basketball games sold out, say like Duke, Carolina, Ky or UConn let me know so I can get riled up about the game.
Until then, I will probably watch Memphis at Kansas, two real basketball teams.

This past season was the first of four consecutive seasons of disappointment. Say bye-bye to P.J. after 2013. As for P.H.; it might be bye-bye after tonight? Looking forward to a Dawgs win tonight so the Tech fans will have an opportunity to celebrate.

I think Paul Johnson’s decision to allow UGA to score on there last drive may have been the best football decision in order to get the ball back, but I bet his players will never forgive him for it. I’ve never seen that before in 50 years of watching College football. Then he was forced into playing the PASS for their drive. The one thing Tech has no ability to do. UGLY Game all around but a win is a win.
As for the Bowls, I guess both teams got what they deserved. One bowl is not better than the other,and both teams are lucky to get it, but look at it this way. You’re not playing on that Blue Turf freezing your butt off or going to the Emerald “Hold on to your Nuts” Bowl. May both teams bring back a win and have a better shot next year…except of course that last week in November! GO DAWGS!! Beat That Lying Irish Pledgerizer! Woof Woof

Both teams underperformed horribly this year so it’s a gift that they’re going to bowl games. To be perfectly honest, neither team’s fans should rub salt in the others wounds … .500 records aren’t anything to brag about and the only consolation prize is the ability of both teams to have a few more weeks of practice to prepare for spring practice and fall camp.
I’ll enjoy watching both of them play but I’m not pleased with the overall results … and no one associated with the programs is either.
On another note, how ’bout them Georgia Southern Eagles? Advancing to the quarterfinals of the 1-AA playoffs. Their new coach has certainly done an amazing job!

As far as ticket sales, most of the UGA fan base are a bunch of fat, stupid unemployed rednecks who live and die for Saturdays at Sanford Stadium while most Tech fans graduate and have moved away from ATL for their jobs.

It’s time for revenge.

Thus we, the great ‘Dawg Nation,’ get might get a little pay-back from the state of Florida.
However, given our current track-record against our southern neighbor, we’ll probably return from the bowl game with our little dawgie nads in our hands.
Win or lose, I’ll be watching the game on HD wide-screen (that the taxpayers bought) in Mama’s trailer — while getting drunk and sniffing my sister’s crotch.
That’s what we do. We’re Dawg Fans.

Now, if we can only beat Tech at basketball tonight and take the one last thing that they have any pride in away from them, my year will be complete.

Tech can not blame UGA or anyone else for their poor attendance. Attendance is like voting. No one votes for Tech. Some high schools have more fans. Face it, no one votes for Tech.
Tech is at best a mid level team that celebrates a 8 point loss. They get rings for winning once ever 10 years. Folks, that is mid level at best.

UGA man here. All I will say is give peace a chance. GT being in the Weedeater simply says it all.
Last year, GT’s geeky fans invested heavily into the negative rhetoric about the Independence/ Weedeater and well, um, Instant Karmas has hit you in the face.
Um, ah, um, one alst thing GT ………………..y’all have yet to win a bowl in years and years and CPJ is looking so bad on the antional stage, with that thumping by slow Iowa. AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
GT has been to two major bowls since the mid 1950s. 19667 Orange Bowl AND the 2009 Orange Bowl and BOTH were losses. 1990 Citrus? Well, the year that Coloorado won ther NC, the Cirus was about like the Gator Bowl or maybe today’s Liberty. It has just cahnged its name form Tangerine to the Citrus and was not major.
So, name one other MAJOR BOWL that GT has been to besides the 67 and 09 Orange bowl in 55 – 60 years?? Major is Rose, Sugar, Orange and Cotton and Capital One or Outback of Fiesta.
You cannot count the Sun or the Emerald City, ALamao or the old Bluebonnet or the Boise Blue Carpet or the Gator or the Chic Fil A or the Music CIty or the Poinsetta or the Aloha, or the Mienike Car Care, etc.
I love it.
Basketball anyone??? "We are a basketball school", say the GT faithful
December 8th, 2010

Where are the GT ” well, um, we are a basketball school anyway” crowd when you need them to abuse???
At some point, GT will come to grips with the fact that their program in football and BBall has slipped from their one year perch. Sadly, with Mark Richt doing some superior coaching damage to CPJ, it is painful for them to deal with that reality.

You Dawg fans who keep razzing Tech enjoy yourselves all you want. The thing is… Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons. College sports are fun to follow, but the biggest reason for going to college is to get an education.
UGA fans don’t seem to care about anything but football, and they don’t care if their players are enrolled in silly majors that no parents who are paying the bills would send their kids to UGA for. The very few football and basketball players who graduate have no job opportunities and end up unemployed or working in menial jobs that hardly require a college degree.
Georgia Tech is a real school with serious academic standards, and that includes scholarshipped athletes. UGA has a long history of being a party school, where parents send their kids for an easy degree, even if the degree itself is practically worthless.
Jan Kemp exposed the crap going on at UGA with athletes being enrolled in courses a ten-year-old kid could pass. That was almost three decades ago, and nothing has changed. If anything, the abuses are more blatant today. Way too many illiterate morons are being recruited, and the very high arrest rate shows clearly that Richt does not care if his players have any morals or self-discipline.
The bottom line is that most Tech fans have very good jobs and productive lives that don’t depend on Tech’s football record for their happiness in life. It would be great to beat UGA more often, but when you put scholar-athletes up against moron-athletes, it’s usually no contest.
It’s pretty pathetic to see UGA fans who typically have never been within miles of a college classroom and who live or die with UGA’s weekly results on the football field.
So keep on posting your “30-24″ all you want, especially since you’re home with plenty of time on your hands. I wish you well, maybe you’ll get lucky and get your old job back at the Waffle House before your unemployment checks stop coming.

Besides the 1967 Orange Bowl ( bitter loss to SEC team ) and the 2009 Orange Bowl ( another humiliating loss to slow, midwestern farm boys ) and the 1990 Citrus ( in 90 it was not major bowl ) and maybe, maybe the 51 or 52 Sugar Bowl, name ONE OTHER major bowl that GT has been to in 60 years.
The gator and Chic Fil A or Peach or Blue Carpet or Bluebonnet or the Liberty or the Pontiac Bowl or the Obama Is A Loser Bowl ( this one IS growing in strength ) and the Sherwin Williams Primer Paint Bowl count as a major.

Bobby Dodd is the namesake for the football field at GT. Apparently, he was some sort of legend. I did view his 1960s Sunday am tv post game show as a kid and really enjoyed him and that moron Furman
( my son played for GT and was a full scholarshop NON athlete ) Bisher talk about the Saturday loss to either Auburn or LSU or UT or to Alabama or some school out of conference like Rice.
Name the MAJOR ??? BOWLS that he took GT to from 1950 to 1967. I recall him losing to Florida in the 67 Orange and that was his last game ever. Bitsey Grant had a chair for him and his bottle of Jack Daniels, after that.
So, beyond the 51, 52 era and the 67 Urange, where did he take GT? I recall his loss to Joe Pa in like 63 or 64. Humiliating that was for him.

Got a Call said, “from the Shreveport Home Owners Association, told them that the local residents did not have to park their cars behind their houses like last year because Tech did not HIT AND RUN THIS STATE” … because their mommies will be dropping them off at the gate and picking them up for an after-game consolation at Chuckie Cheese.
A UGA man's photo memories of the last 12 months
December 8th, 2010
11:45 am
Photos that are priceless:
The faces of the two GT grad Navy pilots when their commanding officer called them into his office about their dumb buzzing of Grant Field and their faces when they were STRIPPED of being aviators.
The face of CPJ when Caleb King and W. Ealey sprinted past him time and time again in 09
The face of CPJ in 09 when UGA defeated GT without AJ Green and Kris Durham stepping onto the GT playing field.
The face of CPJ when the Blair Witch Shank went wide.
The face of CPJ when he learned that Aaron Murray has three more years.
The face of CPJ when he read that UGA fans consider Grant Field as their second home field and is frankly much preferred, because we can enjoy imported wine and cheese LONGER at home, then cab it.
The face of CPJ when he saw his highly vaunted passing attack fail in 09.
The face of CPJ when he saw his highly vaunted passing attack fail in 2010.
The face of CPJ when the GT president DRILLED INTO HIM that losing by 8 IS WORSE, than losing by 1.
The face of CPJ when he learned that GT would be in the Independence Bowl.

UGA intentionally twisted his knee in a pile up.
lol. So it’s gone from his ankle to now his knee? rotflmao
Nope, he twisted his ankle himself. Even the AJC had the article where he was interviewed about the injury. He missed something like 2 plays? 3 plays? You make it sound like he was gone for half the game LOL. Am sure Bill can pull up the stats as well as the AJC quote from him.
But don’t let facts get in your face else you’ll trip over your long nose from lying.

Um, ah, how many of you haters ( either UGA haters or GT haters ) are actual alumni of either school??
The name calling reveals to me your IQs. It also reveals your level of emotional maturity and places it at age of 15 -20. I suspect that most of you are at home on Mom’s PC, eating chips, drinking big Uranges and banging away on her PC when YOU should be out looking for a career.
Most GT grads, like UGA grads are busy at work. Me? I am a UGA grad and retired.
Stay on the football jokes, etc but abandon the personal descriptions like fat red necks or unemployed morons. Stay on the GT basketball stuff or UGA basketball ……………….like last night!!!
If you have not attended a major college like UGA or GT then ………………….you missed out.
Go Dogs.

GT when they played Eric Zeir
December 8th, 2010
12:41 pm
I do recall a GT shot toward Zeier’s knee as he stepped into his pass and the GT man tried to roll over on his knee. The TV showed it over and over. Many of you fans will likely recall that. It was worse than the AU Fairy roll over shot on Murray. It was nasty and should not have happened. Eric was ok, i recall.
In the H Walker era, he was routinely taken out of his last game when UGA was up in the 3rd like 34-0. Dooley was told by Coach Mike Cavan that GT tacklers were spitting in his face on his last drive, Dooley put him back in and he ran for TWO MORE TDS!!! BOOM !!!!
GT has never been known as a totally clean, football team. Doddy ran a clean program but hs players all had stand ins for their more difficult classes. Ask any GT football player in the early 60s about Billy Martin’s IQ or Lothridge’s. There were others too.
My family was very close to the GT team MD orthopaedic guy in the 80s and 90s and he often said that 75% of the GT players were dumber than rocks.

Too funny!! All these nerd techie fans posting on here are so pathetic. Since they can’t boast about their dwindling athletic programs any more the only thing they have left to claim is their so called academic standard. Every time they start spouting off about their “superior minds” and “great jobs” just tells everyone else how insecure and shallow they really are. If you don’t care that much about athletics then why are you on a UGA sports blog spouting off your putrid and miserable hate speech? Go find a loser tech engineer blog!

To all the Tech fans and alumni attending the game: (all 7 of you)
Shreveport does not allow blow up dolls in the stadium. Your companion will have to remain in your vehicle during the game.
If you bring them into a restaurant, they do not count toward the head count of customers at your table. In other words, if you want a 4 seater table for 2 nerds and 2 dolls, you will get a 2 seater.
More information to come as the game gets closer.

I am still amazed by the morons who still believe that Tech lost because of a missed extra point! If you can get 8 points from a PAT, you are in a different sport. The fact of the matter is that both teams tried to fumble away chances to win the game and UGA made enough plays to win the game.
Deal with it!

Hey Mick Flanigan.
Since you proclaim yourself to be so smart, why don’t you update your cut and paste?
Your score says 30-24 and that is so last year.
Be on the cutting edge.

Two of my most satisfying rituals:
1. Morning cup of coffee, newspaper, and a great BM
2. Beating whatever athletic team GT puts on the field against UGA
Regularity is the key to happiness!
So, I'll ask again
December 8th, 2010
3:10 pm
GT has attended two ( 2 ) major bowls in 60 years. No, the 1990 Citrus Bowl then was in the league of a Gator Bowl or Peach at best and therefore NOT considered then a major and is marginally one even today.
A major is the Rose, the Sugar and Cotton, the Fiesta (only in the last 22+ years ) and of course, the Orange.
So, name one major other than the Orange that GT has been to since 1950.
I would also prefer the number of major invites too. Like 1- Sugar or 2- Orange or 3- Cotton, etc. I care less about the Dairy Queen Bowl or the Gator or the Weedeater ( 2 for UGA ) and the Music City ( 2 UGA?) and the Liberty ( 3 FOR UGA ) all minor bowls.
Got it? This will illustrate the recent success ( Urange in 09 ) and the historical and LONG TERM success of the GT program.
Please do the same for UGA, to be fair. Any takers??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??
To answer this challenge, will forever put and end to this” GT is a power house and always has been” rant.

So, I`ll Ask Again: GT went to the Sugar Bown in 1957. I attended that game. Also, I believe they went to the
Orange Bowl 3 times in 1952/1967 and 2010. The Cotton Bowl may also had GT once in the 1950`s. Not sure about this one.

Hey, UGA friend

Friend, I count four major bowl trips for GT using your history and that is not counting a Cotton Bowl. I do not believe that they played in a Cotton Bowl in my lifetime, I certainly could be wrong. I was born in 49. I wanted the bowl comp to start in 1950 in GT’sso called golden era.
My point was that UGA is superior to GT’s dubiousmajor bowl record. I am not aware of any 1950s era UGA/Wally Butts major bowl trips but counting 1960’s Orange Bowl with UGA vs Missouri, the 1966 Cotton Bowl and the 68 Sugar Bowl and the 75 Cotton Bowl and the 76 Sugar Bowl and the 80s Walker era 3 -Sugar Bowl trips and the mid 80sCotton Bowl defeat of number 1 Texas 10-9 in Dallas and then the Richt era Sugar Bowls ( 3) UGA is superior and the major history reveals it.
GT has 4 major trips to 12 for UGA.
UGA using a bowl history as one guage, UGA is 3 times better than GT and UGA for about 30 more years in the SEC, than GT as an Independent or ACC member.
UGA has three times the fabulous major bowl history than GT was my point and this says it all.
Go Dogs.

December 8th, 2010

I have a second cousin on the Mississippi State University baseball squad. He is from Memphis, TN.
He just emailed his Dad, who is my age and so I heard from him about a rumor over in Starkville. It has Mullins leaving for Florida and then, MSU will chat with Paul Johnson of Georgia Tech. The triple option has worked well for MSU over the last 25 – 30 years and they would welcome a coach of his ( CPJ’s ) caliber.
I would expect CPJ to take a MSU offer. He would love to compete in the SEC and if he bolted GT now, he would inherit Mullin’s kids that posted a win over UGA and are in a nice bowl. With Nesbitt leaving, now is his time to bolt.
This job surpasses any Vandy rumors because at MSU, he could win and he could get kids to play there.

But the greatest thing about all uga fans, alumni, magazine majors, coaches, professors, staff, and anything associated with uga, is that all of you SUCK big time. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
