      I agree. My wife kept asking me “whats the big deal”, when I’m screaming at the TV–where these holes all year—why didn’t Caleb King run this hard all year—-why did it take 12 games to come up with this combination?

      UGA staff came in with a game-plan that maximized their strengths and look what happened.

    I felt going in that Georgia’s only hope was to keep it on the ground and dominate the time of possession.

    Tech turnovers were huge tonight, and the ground game minimized our weak point (Cox).

    I don’t know why we didn’t see more of this strategy during the season. Better late than never, I guess.

      And the secondary played well except for the long TD pass. You take away that 76 yard pass, Tech limited to 60 yards.

      We just looked like a different team. We looked faster, harder hitting, with better blocking and special teams, etc.

      The offense played great.

    Where has this team been all year? In the SEC. If it were in the ACC, results would vary.

    O-line and Chapas played like grown men. Interior D-line made Jonathan Dwyer their beeyotch.

    The euphoria. Oh my goodness. Just when I think it’s done, I realize that we beat a top-10 Tech team while being unranked.
    I don’t care that it kinda feels like I stole something, THIS TASTES WONDERFUL.

    good thing Gomer Johnson’s new party line was “we dont emphasize the UGA game, we have more important things to prioritize.” Otherwise, he and his Mustard stained wretches would be pretty disappointed right about now. Fortunately, they can look forward to playing Clempson next week in front of about 100 people for the “Winner Probably Comes in Behind Everyone But Vandy in The SEC East Bowl.”

    Nice playcalling by the Greatest Adjuster In Football History, the Genius in Cleats, The Man, The Legend, Gomer Johnson, on those last 4 Tech offensive plays. He looked like he was channeling Reggie BaLLLL. Thanks, Gomer!

    I know this year has been a hard one but, it sure feels good to be a Bulldawg on this Saturday night. It always feels good to hand Paul and the Tech nerds an arss whooping in there own backyard!

    What happened to the statement you made Paul about beating Georgia? I guess you got lucky last year! Oh well I hope you understands, no matter how good you are in the ACC it doesn’t really matter to the Tech nerds unless you beat GEORGIA!!!

    Another point………..
    I thought it was pretty funny that the two teams playing for the ACC Championship next week both got beat by SEC teams today! Not the best of SEC teams either, REALLY what does this say about the ACC, REALLY!!!!

    Why does everyone hate Paul Johnson? I like his personality. He is my favorite GT coach since Pepper. Hope he moves on to Notre Dame though.

    Did Paul Johnson err in throwing deep that last series? Seemed like he had his way rushing on the outside the 2nd half.

    Objectively, drunkenly speaking…

    Despite the AJC, 790 the Zone, all various fellators, and all various hangers-on, Georgia Tech is actually kinda sorta lousy. Georgia ran the ball a little bit more than usual, and two dudes ran for 350 freaking yards. Georgia gave Trek the ball back with a chance to win, and the Jackets just dropped it. It’s really, actually, kinda sorta time to just stop this rivalry; we’re leaving this decade with UGA up 8-2, and GT has done no better than 7-3 since, shoot, can’t even remember a decade. It’s over. The rivalry is done. I’m with the crew at GSB, time to put the lid on this a la Penn State/Pitt.

        I am sorry, he doesn’t know how to post what WE really think. He is so obsessed with hating on Willie he refuses to acknowledge the great effort the players and staff gave. Pray for him, his ego and hatred have become so large he has lost control. Much more important for him to be right than to feel good and celebrate a nice victory.

    This team needs Prozac. The highs have been high, but the lows have been LOW! Excited to end the season like that. Very proud of these dogs for playing hard at the finish, especially Joe Cox. As bad as he was the second half of KY, he looked solid, And his numbers would have been better if not for some key drops.

    Shocked at CPJ’s play calling to end the game… Definitely channeled his inner Reggie Ball on the last possession.

    Who decides we can’t keep Russ???????

    Who cares if he does not have a pedigree as long as the field?

    Who cares if he is of mixed color?

    He is 1-0 against Tech, 1-0 in one of the more important wins in the Richt era.

    Richt should insist on keeping Russ, and so should we.

    “Shocked at CPJ’s play calling to end the game… Definitely channeled his inner Reggie Ball on the last possession”

    I don’t think he had much choice, Boz. Tech didn’t have enough time to crank out a running drive; UGA had done a good job of bottling up long runs. Johnson was probably hoping for a pass interference penalty and just didn’t get it.

    Like

    • NebraskaDawg

      Agreed. That’s what it looked like to me with the straight dropback throws. Considering Georgia’s penalty problems, looked to me that CPJ was hoping for a pass interference (frankly I figured we would have give him one on one of those three throws, kudos to the DBs)

      Like

      • I thought so, too. One time out and 46 yards to go with a running offense? It’s kind of a gamble, though perhaps he could have tried to get to the sideline. Running plays eat about 45 seconds off the clock even when hurrying.

      This was a redemption game for quite a few people:

      Blair Walsh can kick into the end zone consistantly.
      Martinez had a solid gameplan (for once)
      R. Jones played great, Bryan Evans managed not to screw up, Cox didn’t overplay his throws (and was a victim of several drops), Caleb King is turning into a great back, D-line played well, O-line was great.

    “Reshad Jones=DGD”

    I agree. I think Jones has really improved his play all year. He’s blown some coverages, sure, but his tackling and overall level of physicality has really been much better this year. I hope he decides to stay one more year and turn himself into a top NFL pick.

    • I think Reshad has spent a lot of time covering BE’s butt in coverage, honestly. As far as BE “not screwing up,” well, I’d like to concur, but that long TD pass was 50% Vance Cuff and 50% Bryan.
