There’s a fine line between truth and sarcasm.

Just like on the Intertubes, sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between the two when Paul Johnson’s mouth is engaged:

Georgia Tech is a 6-point underdog to Georgia and has lost nine of its last 10 to the Bulldogs. After practice Monday, Tech coach Paul Johnson sarcastically played the woe-is-us card.

“They’ve got a heck of a team,” Johnson said. “Won nine in a row, SEC East champs. Hopefully we can stay with them.”

Johnson interrupted a question about his players not needing much motivation this week by saying they are “probably scared.”

And why would that be?

Said Johnson, “We haven’t beaten them in a long time.”

Of course, we shouldn’t discount the possibility that he’s being both honest and sarcastic at the same time.  The man’s a genius, you know.

    He is truly a paradox wrapped in an enigma.

    It’s Paul Johnson and Tech; assume the worst and you’ll never be disappointed.

    I truly don’t want them to get a better coach, because it would mean recruiting competition for the offensive players we covet, and potentially increased difficulty in beating them. I truly believe that Georgia will be able to hold them in check under Johnson more often than not (save for the disastrous 3rd quarter in 2008, so far so good).

    That said, the man’s an ass, and I don’t suffer his kind of foolishness easily. I hope we beat them by 70 on Saturday.

      This is what happens when you try to put together an institution of higher learning without any sort of department of arts or letters. You get a bunch of jagoffs with internet access who can’t even devote more than 30 seconds to coming up with a better hate poem than one that attempts to rhyme “blog” and “cock”.

      Let me know where you’ll be Saturday, Headley, because I’d love to hear you recite this one out loud and see if you can make it work. But mostly I’d just like to point and laugh at you as we bitchmake your school for the 10th time in 11 years.

        Football must be the only thing you guys look forward to in life. That is what I see from all of you “dawg” fans. Between this blog, tumblr, the rape jokes, harassing high school athletes, and God knows what else, how the FUCK do you lawyers get anything done???

            Thanks for taking care of the camp, Lone. Sorry, I wasn’t here for the polecat invasion. But I’m here now. Where are the little striped-ass smelly nerds? Remember, there are nerd wannabees all over Atlanta and they try to act like the older 12th ave scared women belonging to Trader Post-Johnson.

            Tracker Red Blackman sure to find them. He is leader of Dawg Soldiers. Must go. I smell smoke signals. Maybe Apache-Mexican squaw, Mary Juanista, nearby. Adios, Kemo Sabe.

          Well, internet tough guy, you might find that your trolling is more enjoyable if we actually know what you’re talking about. For example, when we make fun of Tech, we generally post links so that everyone can enjoy and be in on the joke.

    The man is an a**hole. And he coaches Tech. He has, however, enjoyed a more successful career (in general) than many. So, presumably, he knows a little something about how to motivate his charges. I’d say that’s all this is. Let’s do our talking on the field. The 2011 Auburn model worked well for me. Let’s go with that.

    Guys, feel how you want. But the man has won two National Championships and about 6 US Military President’s Trophys. He was tutored at Erk Russell’s knee and has Al Groh and Andy McCollum working for him.

    The facts are – Tech is a very dangerous and well coached team.

    The facts are also – Tech’s talent ain’t much and Peanutbutter n’ Jelly is an Insufferable Ass.

        If he were Erk’s disciple and a defensive genius instead of a jackass running the wishbone (and some flexbone) and pretending it’s something much more eloquent, maybe I’d be more impressed. My high school runs a more complicated offense. Hell, MOST high schools do.

    He dresses in yellow and black
    with a chin like a gunny sack.
    He bellows and blows with less-than-eloquent prose
    for athletes he surely does lack.

    He’d love to think his team is hot,
    but Steve Spurrier he is not.
    Throwing insults around like a man-boobed clown.
    Me thinks his foot has been shot.

    He’s provided fresh motivation
    for all of the Bulldog nation.
    The performance against Duke made his own mother puke,
    yet he still speaks with fork tongued oration.

    Tech is most certainly the enemy.
    Barbs and insults there fans will send me.
    Perhaps the coach should win a few before he has nastiness to spew.
    It’s clear he suffers from Bulldog envy.
