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.

Dwyer--the 7 Yard Man
November 26th, 2009
5:49 pm
How bad can you be? 7 yards on 5 carries against Miami? 7 yards? Pathetic.
I could get 7 yards, backwards, in the snow, uphill, blindolded, in Atlanta traffic.
7 yards. That’s it? 7? Come on.
Pathetic dawg

Uh, Johnson ain’t never coached a Heisman winner. Richt’s coached a couple at FSU. none for your boy Johnson.
I think you need more than 7 yards a game to win that thing too.
Haaaaaaaa haaaaaa haaaa
Dwyer is a joke. If Richt REALLY wanted Dwyer, he would have got him. Georgia’s lineback Samuel could get more than 7 yards rushing. Pathetic. Tells me a lot.
Dwyer- the 7 yard man--run Dwyer run

I still can’t believe he only got 7 lousy yards on 5 ccarries with that 1 trick pony high school offense.

Maybe the beatdown Sat will LOWER dwyer’s draft chances to 6th round.
Imagine going for 7 yards against Willie? Who would want Dwyer after that?
Maybe he can play in Canada like Johnson’s other “RB superstar”.

It’s about time that the local media shows some love for the home team.
Next, it is really going to be funny to see all of the trash talking GA fans eat a lot of crow after Saturday as Tech will roll big in this one.
Once again, GA fans will be watching the TV as the Gators take another SEC and NC!

What has Georgia won since 1980 something? GT has won a conference Championship. So has Georgia. That’s it. You have NOTHING on GT except a few head to head wins (well, alot). But don’t compare history and tradition b/c it won’t hold water in your dog bowl.

Tech fans can bask in the glory of beating UGA about once every ten years. Then they have to crawl back in their holes for quite a while until they happen to win again. But the Tech flamers should remember, if things don’t work out with our current coaching staff, we’ll be looking for a new one. We might just look toward the “Joke by Coke”.

Who will be officiating the game, SEC. I hope it is not that crew that called the LSU game. I have watched Texas’s McCoy score and just about run in the stands and #8 from A&M score and drop the ball on the Texas defender. No flag in either situation. I would like to ask the official that cost us the LSU game to explain that to me. I don’t know which was the worst call I have ever seen, A.J.’s unsportsmanlike or the Angels tagging both Yankees out at third and only one was out. Worst two calls I may have ever seen in watching 50 years of athletics.
