Couldn't have said it any better brother lol. I despise everything related to that geek show! The way we're recruiting right now, they are years from even HINTING at being able to even COMPARE themselves to what we have to offer as a NATIONAL brand that is on a powerhouse level in the toughest conference in America. Why on earth something isn't done to make that conference better top to bottom baffles me. CU, VT, NCst, and SOMETIMES Miami are DECENT. Besides those annual "homecoming type games", who does CU play annually that is a top 17-20 ranked team or better for a WHOLE season?? Nothing but scrimmage games to pad wins, stats etc and then win 2 playoff games. THAT is what CU does, and why they are a success. Period. At least we get to play em in season in the future.
Yea I can just about see this one in my head already. Nostradamus said 90% chance he's a bug lol.
Interesting to read everyone's comments.
Personally, I reserve 90% of my hate for Florida. Maybe that has to do with being in school during the Goff/Spurrier years. The other 10% shifts year to year depending on who our main competition is. So it's been Tennessee and Auburn historically, but Alabama more recently. I've never been able to generate much hate for Tech. My brother went to school there. They're all nerds. They don't care much about football. But I'm pretty sure they have something to contribute to society. Even if it's not conversation.
God love 'em.
I can never hate any body of ppl more than UF. I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T STAND ANYTHING ABOUT EM. I own zero clothes with that blue color or orange lol. After them it's weird because for me it kind of differs annually. Weird I know. But USUALLY I hate Awbarn right below UF, then UTjr, GT, SCjr, CU, Bama, OSU, Michigan. Also really don't like LSU, Texas a&m, ole p1ss, Miami, FSU or OU.
Top bad guys are UF and AU. Use to be CU too back in the Danny Ford days. AU rivalry use to be intense but there was not as much disgusting about them. Now acting like little brother, recruiting our DL and WRs, and cheating makes it more so. Bama fans who identify their self esteem with something they have nothing to do with makes them competitive as being top bad guys.
💯%. I grew up an Auburn fan, and Alabama has never given me a reason to stop hating them, but Florida is so far away from Tech it’s not even funny. Tech is just an annoyance.
All that and didn't include Notre Dame. Smh
Clearly none of you have spent enough time in Tennessee to properly hate UTjr and their fanbase.
I despise Yech, but I’m cool with Collins trying to make them a bit better for a couple of reasons:
Mainly because demographics wise Tech was hemorrhaging whatever “fans” they still had. Between the apparent number of foreign students who could care less about football, the natural inclination of Tech students to prefer e-sports and D&D to sports, and Turkey Neck **** the life out of the few fans left, most of the joy of beating them and rubbing their noses in it had kinda left.
If Collins wants to give the nerds hope again then I’m all for it. Crushing the hopes of Nerd fans is the gift that keeps on giving for any Dawg fan who grew up in the Atlanta area. That’s probably why some of us hate Tech more than others. My best friend growing up’s dad was a muckety muck in the Yech admin and I have great memories of sitting in their seats at MR field at BDS watching the Dawgs truck the insects. The 51-7 beat down game was amazing because I watched it with mostly Dawg fans but a few Nerds thrown in.
From a practical standpoint I echo what others have said in that I’m willing to trade the possibility of a marginally better Tech team to avoid having to play and practice against the option in a lose/lose game every year. The ACC sucks so badly right now that they might even be able to boost our SOS which would be nice.
All that being said: To Hell With Georgia Tech!
Few probably remember the 1981 UGA-Tech game these days. First play was a fake to Herschel, then Buck Belue threw to wide open Lindsay Scott, who held up a “number 1” finger as he raced alongside the Tech bench for a TD.
AJC headline on Sunday:
”Bang! One Play, Call it a Day!”
Would be happy seeing many more headlines like that vs Tech (2018, 2017 and 2002 games come to mind).
I remember the game....I was 13 years old. The fake was so good, the entire GT defense bit on it and it left Scott wide open for the TD.
The day Tech causes Kirby to lose sleep, is day Kirby should go. Tech is no threat.
“I grew up an Auburn fan”
I don’t believe I woulda told that on myself, but congrats on the successful therapy.
They had to bite on it. Took the whole team to bring Herschel down.
To hell with sos. Their fans whining about being terrible is sweet music. Better even than listening to Chris Matthews incredulous crying.
