When Paul Johnson promised the Georgia Tech faithful that a top priority was to beat the Bulldogs, somehow I doubt they thought he meant these Bulldogs.
It’s part of a relentless effort on Tech’s part to find a Bulldog that the Jackets can defeat. In addition to SIAR, B! with the instate Dawgs, Tech’s taken on Fresno State – and lost – and will play Mississippi State in ’08.

UPDATE: The AJ-C officially confirms Tech’s schedule and without any apparent sarcasm tells us that “Tech has one of the toughest conference schedules in the ACC”. Oxymoron alert!
Get The Picture 
Don’t forget the Emanuel County Institute and Mary Persons High School in Forsyth. Of course, they have more D1-A players on their rosters than Tech does now, but maybe experience would win out.

They could play GMC JUCO, but they would probably get spanked by kids that are en route to REAL D-1 Schools.

Off topic, I know, but Urban told Omar that Mattison was not leaving. Omar is quoted as saying as much. The discussion is all over the Vault…

How would the Jackets do next year in all competitions if we dropped them into the GISA?

They should also consider Carrboro, NC’s world champion Bouncing Bulldogs.
