Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate moved to the start of the season to help even out depth and attrition issues?

It would help even the playing field so to speak
It would eliminate the depth and attrition issues tech seems to have because every team every year starts with a clean slate

It would be a very exciting start to the season and energize the tech fan base
It would be a break from tradition, but sometimes in college football traditions need to be broken. I hate Georgia with every fiber in my soul and I would love nothing better than to start the year by giving them some pain.

as I stated I believe by starting the year with georgia it would even the playing field and bring passion back to the series for both teams.

thanks,

The only way this would help is in the fact that a few UGA players will be suspended for the first game of the season. The problem I have with this is we can't beat them when they have injuries from a gauntlet of SEC play (never mind their SEC schedule has been soft.) I seriously doubt our abilities to beat them with a healthy team, and a full summer to prep for us. Either way we need to start winning this game more often than just one out of ten.

This guy has so many ideas for Tech haha

They do have half the team suspended for the opener usually. That would help

+1 I would support this change. It would also allow our fan base the ability to actually focus and celebrate winning our conference.

i think we should find a better method to try to beat UGA other than changing when we play them...

how about we do a better job recruiting, coaching, playing, etc...

Wasn't this idea tossed around for the Chick-Fil-A season opener a couple of years ago?

So what you're saying is...we would have a better record aganist ugag in the last decade if we played them the first game of the season? I'm pretty sure if we lost game number one to them all hope would be lost as a fan base, and until we can beat them every few year and win a couple in a row they will continue to dominate us in recruiting.

Sounds like the ACC is going to make the last week of the season a permanent rivalry game, with us against the mutts

I'm not sure how losing at the beginning of the season makes the season any worse than losing at the end of the season? That argument seems quite a bit of a stretch.

Because when we were having a ****ty season last year all Tech fans had to look forawrd to was a slight chance we might upset the mutts. No compare a season like last years except we get beat 50-0 at the start of the season. What game are we going to fall back on? Ohh yayy atleast we get a chance to beat Duke.

Good. Hope it ends this argument once and for all.
