Nobody likes a constant loser. I traveled from Augusta to Athen for the game My team as always is for the Jackets. We excel in all sports except football. Last year we started off with a 7-0 record the stadium was full. We would’nt be playing in the ACC title if the sanction on other ACC teams You want fans to support the home team Win Win Win In Business there is a slogan. Don’t get so set in your way that you can’t change. Win Win Win

GT girl. Athens is an hour and half from Atlanta with no traffic. We had 92,000 fans at the game and u average 35,000 at best outside of when the UGA game is in Atlanta so of course traffic sucks more and the commute is longer. Bobby Dodd stadium is not nice even with the recent improvements.

Lastly we don’t want u to feel at home and enjoy it as much because you are the away team and it is called home field advantage for a reason. You shouldn’t get harassed though and that is bad. Hopefully it didn’t happen Saturday. I was there and things seemed pretty tame amongst both sets of fans.

You lost again and badly but quit crying about game traffic and not getting seats on the 50 yard line as a visiting fan, lol

@SAT – Academics doesn’t make the University money buddy, football does!! Plenty of high academic schools doing well in football…..hell even Vandy did descent this year. Need to find another excuse for y’all sucking so bad. 42-10!!!

I truly feel sorry for any legitimate UGA graduates on here if this mental midget is typical of your fan base. Academics don’t make the University (which Tech is NOT, by the way — just as a note to the inbreeders on here who can’t comprehend that there isn’t a “GTU” in Atlanta, lol) money???? Oh really??? Shall we compare the endowmwent funds for the 2 schools? That is REAL money, not some pocket change from football — which is all it generates for UGA comparatively. And that money is 100% due to academics (hence why UGA has less than many junior colleges, but I digress because I understand that your tiny little brains can’t comprehend such things while you’re scoping out your teenage sister at the same time). But, just to appease life’s losers on here who only want to focus on a childs game played by infantile egomaniacs with a deformed ball, I will now address the state of Georgia Tech footbal:

We suck. Period. That’s about as much of a positive statement as I can make. I’ve supported CPJ for 5 seasons now, but no more. CPJ and his entire staff should be fired right now, and ALL football scholarships should be canceled. I didn’t see a single player on the field Saturday worthy of a scholarship. I was born bleeding white and old gold, but for the first time in my life I am truly embarrassed to be a Tech fan. That is twice this season that the team has just completely failed to even show up and have quit on everybody. And THAT is poor coaching and non-existant leadership, plain and simple. If you can’t get your team motivated to play their biggest rival, then you have absolutely NO business being a coach at this level. But what was most disturbing of all to me was how the Tech players responded. Or should I say, their complete lack of a response. I kept watching blatant personal fouls (being repeatedly shown on National TV just for added emphasis) being committed and no flags are thrown. I counted at least 4 times I saw a UGA defender pick up a Tech player and literally body-slam him AFTER THE PLAY WAS DEAD! And not a flag anywhere. But I’m not mad at the officials. I am DISGUSTED by the pussified Tech players who took it!! Any man of any worth would have made the pount of at least ending a few UGA players careers right there. Ogletree would never play again (or walk without assistance and articial knees) if I were the coach or a player. Ditto for Rambo. They would both be undergoing multiple reconstructive surgeries as we speak CPJ should have sent the entire sqaud over and HURT the UGA players AND coaches for that. But they are too big of wusses and UGA’s coaches have proven before a national audience what hypocritical scumbags they are. And some of you folks wonder why UGA gets absolutely ZERO respect from the football powers?? Watch a replay of that game — with particular emphasis on the ghetto-thugs on defense. No decent human being could support or respect such a bunch of cretins. They would all be dead or in prison if they hadn’t found a “school” with such low standards that even they could play ball there. But that’s what you get with special admissions!! But as much as I’d like to bash the knuckle-draggers in Athens, I’m 1000X more PO’d at Tech. I’ve been going to Grant Field for games since the mid 1960’s — but I won’t go to another one or even watch on TV as long as the coaches are retained and those wimps posing as ballplayers are kept on scholarship. My family and I have MUCH better things to do with our Saturdays — AND our money!!! I remember back in the 70’s when there was some very serious discussion about completely doing away with athletics at Tech (to focus on academics — where the REAL money is!). Perhaps it might be time to revisit that discussion, because if the idiots on the hill aren’t going to put any more effort or money into the program than what we are getting lately, they might as welll just do away with it completely because right now Tech football is a total joke. And the problem is the coaches AND the players!! The coaches suck, and the players are a bunch of pansies. The only “options” are to drop back and punt (start all over with the program) or just close shop and don’t even waste our time anymore. Either is an improvement over the current situation. CPJ, you’re a great coach — at the Div II or smaller level, but you are WAY out of your league in ANY Div-I conference. I never thought I’d say that, but enough is enough!!!

I agree on all your points Mark. I went to the game in Athens. I was given 35 yardline 6 row tickets by a good friend that’s a UGA fan. My fellow alum and I wore our gold but noticed that there were very few Tech fans. Tech fans and the team have given up on the old ball coach CPJ. For a school with such a rich academic tradition, why get a coach that isn’t smart enough to have a call playcall sheet on the field? Why does this guy not know that opposing teams look at film to break down his play-calling tendencies? Why can’t he recruit bigger offensive and defensive linemen? Why can’t he articulate the problem and take some responsibility without blaming players and assistants? Lastly, why did we stick with AD Dan Rad? We should have left him and not him leave us. I called for Al Groh to be fired before he got here LOL. He was a bad choice from the start and so was CPJ. The triple option works on teams that are physically slow or ill-prepared. After 4 years in the scheme, our opponents are ready for it. Without a big QB like Nesbitt, the option is dead. Just like it won’t work in the NFL due to speed, it won’t work against big boy teams. Take that back to Georgia Southern. As an undergrad, I was in Athens when we beat UGA once. We were so happy that we were going crazy. Then those “good ole boys” ran our butts back to Atlanta because nightfall was coming and you don’t want to be alone with a bunch of drunk angry Bulldog fans. But this time, it was just embarrassing. The best thing about that game was the Zaxby’s on the way.
