It’ll be the first Georgia-Georgia Tech game at night in Athens
The football game between Georgia and Georgia Tech in Athens on Nov. 27 will kick off at 7:45 p.m. and be televised on ESPN, it was announced Monday.
The game will be Georgia’s first — and only — this season to be played in Sanford Stadium at night. The Bulldogs’ previous five home games started in the noon hour. Also, this will mark the first time a Georgia-Georgia Tech game has been played in Athens at night, UGA confirmed.
Georgia, which doesn’t play this week, will enter the game with a 5-6 record. Tech will be 6-5 or 5-6, depending on Saturday’s game against Duke.
ESPN picked up the Tech-Georgia game after CBS, which has first choice among games in SEC stadiums, chose LSU-Arkansas for its 3:30 p.m. telecast on Nov. 27.

Hey Are you serious? – Are you stupid?
worries that some players came on the field and yet doesn’t worry his star on defense is a cheapshot artist. Documented.
Pathedic fool.

“So Durham & Barnhart
Just said on the radio that the SEC will not Suspend ANY UGA player that broke the rules in the Fight and Rushing the Field during the Auburn v UGA game.
The SEC is a JOKE. They make rules and don’t even act like they matter.
UGA quit whinning about AUBRUN breaking the RULES and going after your QB unless you want Most of your starting O and most of your starting D to have to sit the TECH game. You had too many players break the rules rushing the field.
UGA fans will love the TECH game. It kicks at 7:45 on ESPN. Thank God I don’t go to Athens anymore. All the DRUNK UGA fans are the worst. Don’t even think there is another SEC teams fans that are as CLASSLESS as DRUNK DAWGS.”
Oh contrare Still @ the Bar – There is always you and the team you cheer for, guessing Auburn. Its ok, enjoy that win, cause it’ll be gone soon enough when your school gets put on probabtion again for buying Scam Newton… 0-12 is gonna make me laugh, oh man is that gonna make me laugh.

Doesn’t really matter what happens on the field, your childish posts just prove that Georgia has already beat you.

UGA sucks and the fans are too stupid to take it out on their team or their Saint CMR, so they cry and cry about Auburn beating up on them.
That’s the problem – UGA players/fans ain’t got any balls.

Insecitous
Big Bad Bruce was asleep for most of the game. My Akita would eat you alive with all that noise and action. BBB aka Uga VIII is a fat inbred slob. Wait that is what the UGA fans love him so much. RUSS had some attitude, but UGA can’t support anything that is not ALL WHITE except their football players on Saturdays.

Though the South is generally laughed at for it’s overall ignorance, racism, and stupidity most that attended the colleges and universities here have a grasp on the English language and grammar.

I didn’t see what some here saw, I guess. There wasn’t any “cheap shot” against the Auburn QB: the player that hit him was blocked into him.

A man’s fairy tale:
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess,
“Will you marry me?”
The Princess said “NO!”
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up .

Good luck to you guys…. This is going to be an ugly game, and the team that plays better defense should win. You guys have a bright future with your qb.
Hopefully we will compete with you guys in your house, but im not really counting on it. Murray will light up the tech secondary like x-mas lights.
Have fun. Really surprised with the kick time to start, but glad its not on espn3 haha

Tech will lose by 4 to 5 TD’s and I am a tech fan ! With no defense and a second string QB it will not be close . I am very disappointed to say the least but I will say it “we suck” on both sides of the ball – We will be lucky if we beat Duke.

Dirty Dawgs? Lack of class on Georgia’s side? I think so.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/517057-georgia-auburn-gets-ugly-why-richt-must-go
Fairley tackles Washuan Ealey after a gain of about 3 yards. During the play UGA’s number 61 Ben Jones holds the jersey of Auburn’s number 93 Mike Blanc and pushes him out of the play. Then in a pre-mediated manner Jones immediately pounces on Auburn’s number 90 Nick Fairley and grapples with him on the ground. On the video you can clearly see Jones punching Fairley in the abdomen as he pins him on the ground. Seeing this, Auburn’s Mike Blanc and Stevens pull Jones off of Fairley. UGA’s Washaun Ealey gets in the middle and starts shoving and punching Blanc. UGA’s #60 Clint Boling then jumps in the middle and starts punching any Auburn player he can see, all while he continues to thrust himself into the Auburn side of the line of scrimmage.
While Boling is punching players, Auburn’s Goggins pushes him away from the Auburn players that Jones is attacking. While shoving Goggins away he shoves the face mask of Boling. Then Washaun Ealey, already suspended this year for going to jail, punches Goggins in the facemask.
Of course, in the Professional manner of SEC officiating, the Referee calls the punch on Goggins and ejects him for the deliberate actions of Mark Richt’s players, specifically Ben Jones, Ealey, and Boling. Then, while the SEC officials explain the penalty, Mark Richt has the audacity to come out on the field and tell the Ref that this is what happens when you don’t call the personal foul on Nick Fairley on the previous play.
But wait, it is not over. Two plays later, UGA runs the ball to the right. During this play, UGA’s #60 Clint Boling goes after the knees of Auburn lineback Craig Stevens. Also, #71 Cordy Glenn, blocks Auburn’s #93 Mike Blanc in the back and out of the play while holding his jersey. UGA’s Glenn continues pushing Blanc out of the play and Blanc starts pounding the chest of Glenn in the same manner as lineman punch during a pass rush. Glenn continues to shove Blanc after the whistle blows and tries to shove him into the UGA players bench.
Of course, in the Professional manner of SEC officiating, the referee call Blanc for a punch and ejects him from the game. Once again, as the result of Mark Richt’s out of control players and program a second Auburn player is ejected from the game.
So, I guess Mark Richt got what he wanted, two players ejected. Instead of graciously accepting his loss, he lashes out and instructs his players to involve themselves in behavior demeaning to the University of Georgia and the rest of College Football. Instead of graciously accepting defeat, his jealously will likely cause 2 Auburn players to miss the first half of the Auburn Alabama game. Mark Richt’s jealous rage could affect the outcome of that game and the outcome of the BCS.
Worse, Mark Richt has lost control of his program. Richt has had over 11 players arrested, one of which, Ealey, was in the middle of and instigated these actions. The lack of institutional control has been reflected for over 5 years now and shows its head amongst the game, the players, penalties, coaching, and on to the fans and worse yet, the students. I have over 5 stories (I’ll spare the details) of UGA fans harassing me at a UGA Auburn game. Two of these stories occurred after watching UGA players dance and stomp between quarters in an effort to show off. In addition, I have witnessed first hand Georgia players punching and gouging players in the pile.
I can’t figure out how Richt is able to portray himself so well off the field, but portrays himself so poorly on the field. Lastly, I can’t figure out how the Georgia football nation has not figured it out as well.
In conclussion, Richt has lost control of his program. For the benefit of Georgia and college sportsmanship, it would be best if Richt regained that control.

The Dawgs won’t need Aaron Murray against Tech. They can simply run the ball at will like Miami did two days ago and UGA did last year at Grant Field.
CPJ has a tall task ahead of him but this week they need to focus on Duke…

Does no one realize Tech can party & drink as well. Granted, we obviously can’t compete w/ the # 1 party school in the country but we do better than U give us credit for.
I believe that UGA can beat us w/o attempting a pass. Just run for 400 + yds
