Tech fans giggle while UGA fans say, ‘Shut up and deal’
PJ cracks wise; Richt is unamused. (AJC photo by Pouya Dianat)
In times of plenty and in times of want, there’s always Georgia versus Georgia Tech. It’s a game that defines (and sometimes reconfigures) the sport in our state, and by way of public service we offer yet another installment — that’s my way of saying I’ve lost count — of our Field Guide to the opposing sets of fans.
• Tech fans describe the moves Roddy Jones put on Georgia defenders along the sideline as “the old okey-doke.” Georgia fans describe Tech’s stadium as “The joke by Coke.”
• Georgia fans still can’t get over Tech putting the score of last year’s Georgia game on their Coastal Division co-championship rings. Tech fans still can’t get over Georgia players selling SEC championship rings on eBay.
• Tech fans laugh really hard whenever Paul Johnson says anything mildly amusing. Georgia fans stopped laughing at Paul Johnson midway through the third quarter on Nov. 29, 2008.
• Georgia fans don’t take the ACC seriously. Tech fans think SEC superiority is all a figment of Tim Brando’s imagination.
• Two words guaranteed to make Tech fans mad: Chop block. Two words guaranteed to make Georgia fans mad: Excessive celebration.
• Georgia fans believe SEC refs have it in for the Bulldogs. Tech fans believe SEC refs do a fine job — especially that nice Al Ford.
• Tech fans think it’s funny the head of SEC officiating is a Tech grad. Georgia fans think it’s all part of a grand conspiracy.
• Georgia fans are incensed by PETA’s demand that the late Uga VII be replaced by a robot. Tech fans will be incensed if they don’t get the contract to build the robot.
• Tech fans are excited to see the Jackets so high in the BCS rankings. Georgia fans are excited to see the Bulldogs so high in the recruiting rankings.
• Georgia fans can’t believe Tech keeps extending Paul Johnson’s contract. Tech fans would be willing to chip in and help Georgia extend Willie Martinez’s contract.
• Tech fans are eagerly awaiting a rematch with Clemson in Tampa. Georgia fans are eagerly awaiting a rematch with Kentucky in Stegeman Coliseum. (Er, maybe not. Kentucky’s better in hoops, too.)
• Georgia fans cackled when Tech kept going to bowls on the blue turf of exotic Boise. Tech fans with long memories are hoping like crazy Georgia lands in Shreveport, where every night is surf-and-turf at Red Lobster.
• The Tech fan’s favorite moment of 2009: Josh Nesbitt stealing the ball from a Florida State linebacker. The Georgia fan’s least favorite moment of 2009: Joe Cox flipping the ball to a Kentucky lineman.
• Georgia fans can’t understand what has happened to Mark Richt. Tech fans think what has happened to Mark Richt has a lot to do with Paul Johnson.
• Tech fans get really miffed if their team doesn’t wear gold. Georgia fans get really miffed if their team wears black helmets.
• Georgia fans still make fun of Tech’s (lack of) attendance. Tech fans figure that’s the last resort of a fading program: If you can’t beat ‘em on the field, outnumber ‘em in the stands.
• This season has Tech fans recalling the Bobby Dodd Era. This season has Georgia fans recalling the Ray Goff Era.

And who did Tech beat, oh Clemson wow, VT, wow, Clemson gave that one to you, and Virginia Tech yea now they beat some power house teams this year, oh thats right VT did too
Blah ahh ahahh hhaaaa haa oohh ahhaahhhaa
Im glad to know that this phobia of yours with such a loser program will be over after Saturday. Then the following week I will send you a bottle of Jack Daniels so you can get drunk and believe your team was something after your loss to POWER HOUSE CLEMSON

Woe, Georgia should be scared!!
Dwyer got 7 yards on 5 carries against Miami.
The QB had 28 on 14 carries.
Powerful running game there, that triple option. Ha!

Tech has COMPLETE disasters in special teams against BOTH LSU and Miami. Look for Georgia to have special plays dialed up. Look for Tecvh to have some special teams collapses–they need a new Special teams coach, they’re horrible.

Jesse – There’s no use giving your time to these jacket fans. I have never seen so much jealousy. Everybody is worried about UGA, Coach Richt, the whole coaching staff and the players. One so so year and everybody is concerned. The Dawgs will show up Saturday as the underdawyg. Lewis Grizzard loved to be the underdawg and he was a Damn Good Dawg. Dawgs 41 Tech 38. You saw it here.

Major Dawg,
“I am amazed that even as we do not have a perfect season, everyone we have played has done nothing but talk about knocking us off”.
A 5-6-1 (D2 school) recoed is definitely far from “perfect.”
“Apparently, we seem to stir some kind of emotion in other teams that none of the rest of you do”.
Dude, EVERYONE hates the obnoxious dog nation. You are the only school in the country with SIX rivals (most have 1 or 2). EVERYONE hates you. Not just the refs but the Pollsters, Bowlsters too.
“I still haven’t heard anyone talking about knocking off Florida in the same way they talk about us”.
Because Florida can do something Georgia can NOT do. They can WALK THE WALK. You picked the wrong end zone to celebrate in dude!
“So, Thank you again about all the fine negative comments. Even as a non threat this year we are still getting under you skin”.
You definitely got that one backwards dude. Hahahaha.
georgia = 2008 Make Believe, Preseason National Champions (for a week)
