UGA in an upset? Tech in a blowout? Your thoughts, please
Here's vivid proof Georgia actually did tackle Roddy Jones. Once. (AJC photo by Pouya Dianat)
OK, folks. You know what I think will happen. (Georgia Tech 42, Georgia 27.) You’ve heard my phony-baloney rationale: Tech is the better and more consistent team. Now I’m asking: What do you think will happen?
Tech blowout? Georgia upset? Overtime at Bobby Dodd? (It happened 10 years ago, you’ll recall.) Questionable call proving decisive? (That has happened a time or two, has it not?) Roddy flying past Reshad down the sideline again? A phantom fumble returned for the winning touchdown? A fourth-down throwaway? Tim Wansley with a seal-the-game INT? Tim Jennings with a seal-the-game INT? Gary Lee with a kickoff return through the fog?
I’m fairly certain you’ve had enough of my blather. I’m also certain you have detailed thoughts on the matter. Please feel free to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is cleansing. Sharing is why I’m here.
I leave you with this one factoid: In the Associated Press preseason poll, one of these teams was ranked No. 13; the other was No. 15. Anyone recall which was higher?

Bobo calls a great game....Georgia wins
November 28th, 2009
11:20 am
Bobo seems mystified at why Georgia is committing so many to’s.
Mystery solved? Bobo’s playcalling. Call more runs, call plays where there are less defenders around.
How hard is that?

Yeha, Georgia Basher, Pro Florida guy likes to post hundreds f times a day on these blogs and:
1) Bash Richt’s Religion
2) Bash Cox
3) Bash Georgia
4) Promote Florida
5) Bash RB’s or QB’s
6) Make fun of the death of a beloved mascot
7) Spend hours a day coming up with Anti-Georgia 1 lines, submitting them to AJC, hoping no one’s smart enough to tell everyone here to VOTE AGAINST your dumb anti-Georgia 1 liners.
A REAL classy guy, this Georgia Basher dude, he’s here today again.

The worst thing that could happen to Georgia football would be for Georgia to win the game. Richt would declare the season a success and award pay increases to his coaching staff.

I don’t know who put Tech by only 7.5. The only way it will be that close is if CPJ puts in the second string at half time. Tech by a bundle…say 21.

The yechie nerd bugs posts is laughable. UGA will always be in charge of the states football. Today is when Dawgs make bugs pay for all the mouthing in the year.
Bugs is arrogant but stinkys. Just cause they wins in ACC they thinking they can hangs with a real team from SEC with speeds. But SEC is better than anyone and Dawgs would be ACC champs every year in and out.
The ACC is a sorry conference that don’t knows squat about footballs. Nerdie bugs schools is champs of Star Treking conventions not playing football. Dawgs is goning to whoops bugs into ground until begging for mercies.
Dawgs have figured out that kiddie offenses from last years and no surprising happens for flukey wins in 2009. We goning to beating down bugs bad enough to embarass horses backside Johnsons.
Yechies better start begging for mercies now because the beating down is less than 8 hours to come. Aint no pointy heads school that can play with the BIG DAWGS in the SEC. That’s why there staduim is joke by cokes.
Dawgs team is coming together to unloading whooping can on nerds. The ugly beating down will be nasty as we pays back the last years. Dawgs knows football winning and nerdie bugs is stinky high schooling team.
I repeats. Final score: DAWGS 55 – Nerdie Bugs 6

In its 2009 report, PayScale says the median starting salary for a University of Georgia graduate was $43,900, compared to $58,900 for a Georgia Tech grad.
UGA 43-58 GT sounds good, covers the spread

Let me help save your job CMR and save this Georgia team from any more embarrasment….2 things that must get done after today’s game….Hire Chris Hatcher as our new offensive coordinator. Offer Brian Van Gorder whatever it takes to get him back to UGA as our defensive coordinator. We have to make these changes tonight..Hatcher will bring immediate excitement and success to our offense and Van Gorder, well we all know what he can do at UGA….Today score..UGA in a upset 27-20. GO DAWGS!!!!!

In a rivalry anything can happen. I’ve seen GT play lights out as a big underdog to UGA. I expect the Dawgs to come out with a lot pride but in the end, pride is not enough and the good guys win:
GT – 38
UGA – 17
