Brent Key’s latest comments, game time change add plenty of fire to Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry
Most Georgia fans probably can’t recall how this year’s Georgia Tech game ended. The Bulldogs came away with a 31-23 win and quickly turned the page to Alabama and the SEC championship game.

Would be nice to have a blacked out black friday, but just don't see Kirby going for that. Maybe for the fans, but he won't change the uniforms. If it was the Tennessee tech game at 7:30 on a Friday, maybe. Just don't see it with how much he lives in this rivalry.
GT has always been a living, breathing example of an inferiority complex in my view. The Dawgs live rent free in their heads. Key's especially. He should seek help.
Go Dawgs!
Sorry to those who have seen me post this before, but I will die on this hill.
There should be a specific, established tradition for breaking out the black jerseys. Unlike the vast majority of teams who use them as gimmicks, black is actually one of our team colors. There's no reason that a black jersey shouldn't have just as much of a spot in UGA lore as a red one. If you make it a tradition and - here's the important part - actually stick to it, no one will have any more reason to write them off as gimmicky, or associate them with any particular negative result on the field, than they do with the red or white jerseys.
I propose that they be used for home night games. If the game is in Athens and kickoff is officially after sunset, it's a black jersey game. Regardless of opponent. Could be Massachusetts, could be Bama.
I think it would add a lot to the program, and can't understand why something along these lines hasn't been done yet.
E_Roc…Good post and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. Sadly, Kirby is going to be Kirby, not that there’s anything wrong with that,, so it’ll probably be red jerseys. Would be fun though! Go Dawgs!
Closing the gap? Hahahaha hahaha....
You hate what you can't beat.
Hate will never win, Ole Brent needs to focus on winning in the ACC….while it's still around…..once he fields a team that can consistently dominate in the ACC, maybe then focus on The Dawgs, who for the foreseeable future rule Georgia and the SEC. Then and only then will the North Avenue Bumble Bees have a chance to rule Georgia!
I agree with GtheGreek, Brent needs to worry about winning in the ACC before poking the Dawgs, especially since the last time the trade school gnats beat Georgia, I think Nixon was president. Although I could be wrong, it's been such a long time since the gnats were actually relevant. Seriously though, I'm glad Brent hates Georgia, it'll make swatting them gnats all the more sweeter. However, I'm thinking the game's billing needs to be changed from, "Clean, old-fashioned hate!" to something more realistic, perhaps changing it to, "The game where everybody sees it's the Georgia Bulldogs who runs this state!", or something to that effect. Because I certainly don't see that changing anytime soon! 😉
Go Dawgs!
