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.

Who did Tech beat?
…your lawyer (surely you have one) would advise you not to ask questions for which you do not already know the answers…
…Tech has beaten 3 (spelled three) top twenty five teams…do you know the answer for the Daaaawwggss…my guess is you don’t…
…you are embarrassing yourself, bud…

If every UGA fan that thinks UGA will beat TECH this weekend will just send in a single dollar bill UGA can get Georgia State on the schedule next year. If you UGA fans don’t want to play GSu then the donations will go to bail out your players after a summer of drinking, driving, and girlfriend beating. Come on now DAWGS pitch ina and lets get an easy win or keep our boys out of jail. Are you with me?

Oops sorry I’m so used to you guys playing big time opponents like Boston College
And what were those top 25 teams. Oh thats right teams that don’t matter to the voters now do they
Its funny how the last 3 national title winners were 1 or 2 loss SEC teams
Tech has 1 loss, sure funny how powerhouse TCU, Boise, and Cincinnati are ahead of the mighty Jackets who played such a tough schedule and beat 3, I said 3 top 25 teams
Ph.D. of Pigskinology the only one embarrassing themselves is you bud
where did you get your PH.D. from fulton county tech

I will ask again. To all the Tech fans that are on the blog and will be at the game PLEASE bring a Red Rose and throw in on the field of bring it down to the UGA sideline and present it to the UGA Cheerleaders for them to place it where UGA VII’s House would be.
