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.

Let’s clear the ar once and for all..Georgia(the administration and the vast majority of fans) do not want Mark Richt out as head coach. We are somewhat disappointed by our season and many look for a change in philosophy and scheme to turn things around. Richt will analyze this season and prior seasons and make the right decisions. Georgia has the talent in place and coming in next year to recover and win big. Disregard the howling of the fans who know little of the dynamics of a football team but only winning and losing. This is a sport played by young men and coached by men who make their living by coaching a game they love. Patience Bulldog Nation..the Dawgs will rise again!! Oh, and to Hell with Tech!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There once was a team called the dawgs,
Their delusional fans love the blogs,
They thought Tech would choke,
They should lay off the coke,
Cause then they would come out of their fog.

There was a pretender called Tech
Who thought they were worth Heck
But they confronted an angry Dawg
Who crushed the poor Techies who were on High on the hog
And left them beaten to pulp and the rest of nation laughing at the wanna be pretenders from Bubba Dump stadium

its all about championships, it always has been and it ALWAYS should be. Paul Johnson has a chance to win a conference championship in just his second year (just like Mark Richt). Neither, yes Neither has won a BCS championship( or gotten there). The difference to me is i think that Paul Johnson can get there. Mark Richt can not, i mean what more does he need. He has had the best quarterback in the country, the best running back in the country, top ten defenses, sunday caliber special teams players, repeated top ten recruiting, besides winning the big one there is nothing left for richt to accomplish and i dont think he can do it. And if im a AD at a BCS program, the first and most important question i ask is “Can this guy win a championship?” With Florida, Alabama, Tennesee,and LSU moving up in the past three years UGA is in for a real shock. They missed out on the cystal football granted a little bit is luck(2-loss LSU team Natl Champs).
