Why do we let a post like this exist? Have you watched any UGA game this year?

Yea they dominated Texas and Tennessee. You watch those games?

And beat Kentucky who has 1 SEC win by 1, struggled against Florida while Florida was playing their 3rd string walk on QB? Blown out by Ole Miss and blown out the first half against Alabama. Beck has 16 turnovers in the last 6 games. Nothing they’ve done this years says they are going to win by 4 touchdowns.

And what do you consider “dominating” Texas had 3 turnovers on their side of the field. Easily the worst they’ve played all year and Tennessee was a one score game with 6 minutes in the 4th quarter. I guess some of you really do have little man syndrome to these guys.

I'm a tech grad (ME '84) and big tech fan and UGA hater (despise them). All that being said, is there any rational reason why we can expect to win? I realistically expect UGA to embarrass us (beat us by more than 4 TDs). Offensively, we seem to be near awful and so expect UGA to beat the brakes off of us next Saturday in Athens. Am I missing something? Is there any rational reason to really expect Tech to win?

I'm not exactly "expecting" Tech to win, but yes, we have a shot.

 

[bobongo]

Yes, I've watched every UGA game, always pulling for the other team to win of course. They seem significantly better than GT this year. Just wanting to know if there is really a good reason to believe we might win (apart from just blind fandom and of course hoping we win.)

I won't deny that they're significantly better athletes, but if you've watched college football over the years you may have noticed the significantly better athletes don't always win. Georgia Tech under Brent Key has pulled off six upsets over teams favored by double-digits, three of them over teams favored by 20 points. That qualifies the Jackets as giant killers. Georgia is favored by just about 20 points. Are they the next victim?

We lost by 8 to those bastards last year. We're better than last year. They are not as good last year. We've got a good shot!!!

I can’t see King being a factor except on an occasional play or two. It will be a huge challenge for Philo. Expect UGA to try and take him out like FSU did back in the 1990s.

I don't think Philo played against FSU back in the '90's.

I expect us to play loose. I expect uga to play tight. That’s not the usual way this game plays out but we have nothing to lose in this game whereas uga is still sweating out a playoff bid.

I disagree. But more importantly, you seem to be very pessimistic. Be positive for God’s sake. You be surprised how much it helps. If players feel like they can win they perform better. Fan attitude helps with this.

Maybe they’ll overlook us for the SEC championship now lol.


Here’s a question that’s very possible: Would you take the win against them in exchange for them winning another natty this year? They could lose to us, and win the SEC Championship and still get in. Obviously I hope we beat them and they lose the next game (and the next. And the next…), but it would be kind of funny to hold us beating them over their head in a national championship season.

Tech is going 8-4 in the regular season. The bowl victory you guessed it 9-4. Brent Key ACC coach of year and he'll be in the running for national coach of the year. I got go find some nice sunglasses.

Temps will be near freezing....we've played and won in that weather....they haven't. We have nothing to lose in that game and they have everything.

I plan on posting a picture of the scoreboard on here early Saturday morning showing the final score before they have a chance to erase it.

Say it with me...To Hell With georgia!

To Hell With Georgia
But I still prefer my way “ Fu@k Georgia and all their assh@le fans”

 

[Bogey]

I believe they will shut down our run game and our receivers will have a tough time getting open. But I believe in our team and our staff, so I think we have a slight chance, somehow. The staff needs to figure out the "somehow", that part is over my head.

They are a better team than we are, but we’re a pretty good team. ESPN says we have a 10% chance to win. I don’t think we should expect a win, but I definently think we can win.

Key is going have the guys 110% for this game like he has been the past two years. Expect a new page or two from Faulkner like previous years as well.

Uga struggled to get things going against us last year, and they have been in general in every first half this year.

If we can get a jump on them, I think we have a really solid shot. Our defense has been pretty solid all year and will give us every chance. Philo just needs to keep dropping dimes

Probably the biggest issue is ball control - ideally we play a game like Miami where we slow the game down. Harder to do without King. If we get in a boat race I don’t like our chances.

I take a win over them every day. I don’t care if they win a championship, that has nothing to do with us.
