Clemson (Permanent Crossover Rivals)

[FightWinDrink]

IIRC Auburn - Tech was never the oldest rivalry in the south; it was the second oldest, second to GA - Auburn

yes same year but they played Georgia first

also depending on how loosely you define a rivalry UVA UNC "South's Oldest Rivalry" also started that year

 

[Wrecked]

Keep the permanent rival and divisions but add two more conference games but have only division games count in your conference record, unless you need a tie breaker. I don't understand the logic in not playing more conference games now.

Replace UGA with Georgia State. It is a game GT should win most of the time and there is a good marketing slogan - "The Battle of Atlanta". We get to more (better) bowl games with better records. UGA gets less exposure in our home town.

I would like to step up our ability to compete with Uga and Clempson rather than entertaining ways to avoid them on our schedule. We could have better records by leaving the ACC and joining the MAC or Conference USA. Do we really want better records? Or improvements to our program?

No way. I want to play UGAg every single year. When we beat GSU, meh, I'm happy. When we beat UGAg? No words to describe that feeling.

And to answer OP's question, no. No I do not want to hide from Clemson. Let's make our program better. You guys want to play easier teams and win with how we are? Let's go to the Sun Belt!

The only way to get better is to play better teams. If you think it's hard to recruit now ( and it is ) start scheduling easy teams.

The ideas about the wussification of GT going on here are reaching an all time record.

Watching Georgia-Auburn. The talent gulf between our program and their programs is palpable...

I am fine with keeping Clemson as our permanent crossover opponent.

Replacing UGA with Auburn is wussification? Let me have some of what you are smoking.

Jake Fromm could get into Tech. My daughter went to elementary and middle school with him before we moved, and he was always getting academic awards as well as athletic awards. I am sure that he was an excellent student in high school as well.

Stop the straw man either or stuff. As you guys have convinced m e we are being caught by duke, Virginia - look at the record . We need more resources to pull ahead of the bottom dwellers.

Can you use plain English and proper grammar and spelling to explain what you mean? Otherwise,I do not have a clue.

Iceeater...I have had a few moments to mull things over and I don't know how to say this in any way that will be politically correct, but I got out about a dozen years after you apparently did. So I know how old I am and can estimate your age accordingly. So, if in fact your typing and spelling is due to an impairment or ailment of any sort, I apologize profusely and encourage you to contribute and post more often. My sincerest apologies. Congrats on your long standing support ogf our beloved Yellow Jackets.

Trent Thompson, Ruquan Smith, ect would never get into GT. Thompson could not read coming out of high school.

so, some of there guys can get in. Other's can't. Do I understand things correctly after reading your post and the one that you quoted?

I wouldn't mind having 8 years of not playing UGAG like GT had from 1917-1924.

Just put on a thong

This is news to me. Didn't know people who couldn't read out of high school could get 3.0 GPAs

When you have somebody else do the reading for you, you can.
