I read on EDSBS on the comment board that there is a 2pm press conf. at GT. It can only be hoped this is the firing of Chan. Word up to the blogosphere and this non-fact checked development!

Most Tech alumni can tell you about the paper that the Technique (GT's student newspaper) puts out the week of the Tech/Georgia game every year.  Over the years it's had assorted names like UGA Today and The Red and Bleak, but in recent times it's just called To Hell with Georgia.

Be sure to pick one up on campus tomorrow; you can find them in places like the dining halls, the Library entrance, the student center, etc.  Even if you go ahead and read the paper online, it's good to get one because they include a big red "To Hell with Georgia!" sign in the middle which you're encouraged to bring to the game.

To Dawg fans out there, I encourage y'all to read the paper as well.  The jokes are all based off the standard model of "U[sic]GA fans are dumb/rednecks/etc," but they tend to be pretty funny and clever.

Get some sleep, y'all, so you can get 'gating early.  And watch for the following video at pre-game; it's supposed to precede the flyover apparently.  Thanks to Perry (one of the pilots) for the vid, and for kicking ass for America as well as for GT.

If you're like me, then from time to time you'll show up a bit late to a game and miss kickoff and all the pregame hullaballoo. Don't let that happen tomorrow.

There is going to be a kickass flyby, and the pilots will be wearing some t-shirts straight out of the Ramblin' Racket store... Oh, and there's gonna be more jets than what you're probably thinking.

See y'all tomorrow and GO JACKETS!

I feel compelled to weigh in on the hate, in the only way I know how. Despite the nerdishness of GT students, girls love guys with big...wallets. Athen's you're on notice:

UGA Sucks

If I have to hear another UGA fan talk about how they have a chance at a National Championship, I swear I will rip his tobacco stained tongue out. Being top ten is of course not good enough for these over-deserving cows. Hey morons, maybe you should be more concerned over whether you are even going to the SEC championship. Let me shoot a quick list of every cog that needs to fall into place in order for this to happen...

-- Kentucky beats Tennessee.
- Georgia beats Georgia Tech.
-- Kansas loses to Missouri.
- Then Missouri loses to Texas or Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.
-- West Virginia loses to Connecticut OR WVU loses to Pitt.
-- Arizona State loses to Southern Cal or Arizona.
-- Georgia beats LSU in the Dome to earn the right to meet Ohio State for the BCS national championship.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I am surprised there are not a couple additional points like the sun aligns with Jupiter or magic gnomes shoot out of Mark Richt's ass. This would actually be entertaining. I actually had a UGA fan try to convince me that this is somehow supposed to give me something to cheer for while watching the other games. REALLY? Hanging on to the thread of a glimmer of hope that a 9 game folding (P.S. 3 of those games are highly unlikely) will propel the mighty UGA squad into national spotlight? I, unlike most UGA fans, do not need a reason to watch other football games. I enjoy the sport. They enjoy masturbating to themselves in the mirror.

Furthermore, I had to suffer through listening to two UGA fans behind me in line boastfully talk about how they cannot wait to beat OSU in the big game. WTF? Not only did these fans assume that they could win the 9 game entente, they were already juggernauting their way through LSU and OSU. Even if Lady Luck gave UGA the courtesy blowjob of allowing them to get to the SEC championship, they are nowhere near the program skills to even think they have the hope of beating Ohio or LSU. But then again, what was I to expect. I turned around and both of these epitome of social standards were wearing UGA camouflage baseball caps. They say... "Hey, I am a hunter and I like UGA too. I bet you have never seen that combination." I am surprised they don't make that hat with logos of PBR, M/D 2020, Skoal, and John Deere.

... Hoping to see a UGA fan cry by the end of the season on national television

UGA Cheerleaders do it doggy-style...

Speaking of which...  While visiting her gynecologist, a young lady informs her doctor that she enjoys participating in anal sex.  She asks her doctor if she's able to get pregnant with this act.  The gynecologist replied, "Of course, where do you think UGA fans come from?"

And here's proof...

This was a screenshot taken of www.uga.edu in August 2004:

Speaking of which, I'm surprised UGA even has a web site -- I've heard they have trouble stringing together three W's.

The question I've been getting non-stop since the UNC game is probably the same thing all of y'all have been asking each other: "What do you think about the Georgia game?"  Here are my thoughts.

As I put it back in September at Hey Jenny Slater, "For the past four years, the Tech-Georgia game and its result hinged on QB play."  (Check the site for my full explanation of that.)  I still feel that's true, and based on this season so far that puts the Dawgs in a much better position than the Jackets.  Taylor Bennett is a decent-to-good quarterback, not typically the guy we saw in last season's Gator Bowl.  Matt Stafford is a good-to-great quarterback, although maybe not the Heisman-assured player that many Georgia fans see through their red-tinted specs.

Even outside of the QBs, Georgia is clearly the better team based off of this season's performances.  The Red and Black have put together several solid games, although they also had a couple of lackluster performances... particularly the debacle in Knoxville.  Tech, on the other hand, has had no big-time performances as a team against a big-time opponent.

If we accept that the pups are a better team, the question is "how much does it matter?"  For each of the past three years, I would argue that Georgia was a similarly better squad, but Tech has held it within seven in each game.  And the biggest difference this year?  The Wreck is no longer led by Reggie Ball, who definitely lost a couple of those for the Jackets.

For the past three years, Tech's defense has done a great job of shutting down the Dawgs, and we will definitely need that again.  For a win on Saturday, I don't expect the offense to put up that many points (PLEASE prove me wrong!), and I think we'll need crisp play across the board to have a chance, from the defense to the QBs and receivers to Durant and T-Bell.

As I have been for years, I'm cautiously optimistic... GO JACKETS!

How does that joke go?

Something about how UGA grads hang their diplomas around their rear-view mirrors so they can park in the handicapped spots?  Well, in case any of those mental cripples from Athens misplace their diplomas, maybe they can put this on a hang-tag instead.

p.s. Welcome back to blogging, Jeff. I'm betting you'll change your mind once you've gotten several weeks at the new job under your belt and feel the constant need to kill some of those 40 hours as you watch the clock slowly tick towards 5pm.

In case y'all hadn't figured it out, I've retired from blogging.  Not one of those periods where there's no posts because I'm slacking, but like actual done-done retirement...  That said, I am now making a triumphant Jay-Z/Jordan-like return FROM said retirement just to hate on UGA for a week.  (Quick note: apologies to our loyal readers for the retirement, but blogging just no longer "fit" in my life; it's basically a non-paying second job.  And SBN will be recruiting to get a replacement blogger for this site.)

This week I encourage all of you to write your own vitriolic posts about that school in Athens.  Just post to the Diaries, and I'll bump stuff to the front page.  And, to me, this is not an exercise in classiness or solid journalism, but rather a time to celebrate Clean Old Fashioned Hate.  Be as ignorant as you please...  Well, be ignorant, but try to make it a little clever.  "U[sic]GA fans are rednecks who bark haha" doesn't really add much to the discussion.

So, in that spirit, and to kick things off, here is a version of "Glory to Old Georgia" written and posted last year by reader TechFan4Life.  Happy posting and To HELL with Georgia!

(Verse 1)
Once I was in downtown Athens headed to a bar.
A rolled up piece of paper hit me from a moving car.
I opened it and what I read sure didn't make me glad.
Holy SHIT now I'm a redneck Georgia grad!

(Chorus)
How the hell could this have happened?
I guess that's how they roll in Athens.
I'll never be the same.
Now I'll have to change my name.
To hell with UGA!

(Verse 2)
A little shaken up I went into the stadium.
The dawgs were down by thirty points, my heart began to drum.
The clock ran out I gave a shout "To hell with UGA!!!!"
Now I'm fighting the entire FFA!  

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I took the degree that had struck me and promptly wiped my ass.
It came to rest on the fifty of the Samford grass.
A red and black had snatched it up; I thought that he'd be mad.
With all 5 teeth he screamed "I'M A GEORGIA GRAD!!!!!"

(Chorus)

We may not have any new posts these days, but there ARE new shirts at the Ramblin' Racket store!  There are two new shirts for Mr. Travis Bell, an updated version of the "Real men don't bark" shirt, now with "To HELL with Georgia!" on the back, and also a "Mash on the Gas" shirt made by special request.

Be sure to scope the T-Bell shirts, they're pretty solid.

GO JACKETS!
