As you might expect, the schadenfreude on the Tech message boards is fairly epic – they’ve had a lot of practice, after all – but these are my two favorite threads so far:
- My friend, what you call the ACC’s circle of parity is really a circle of mediocrity. By the way, in case you weren’t paying attention, the score was SEC 3, ACC1 yesterday.
- If Tech fires Paul Johnson, who should be hired as the replacement? It’s a serious question that gets a delusional answer.
Best thing for me is that I’m sure they’ll be topped. Just give ’em time.
Get The Picture 
Can you imagine the carnage if Tech switches coaches and therefore offensive scheme? Small O linemen, no WRs, and no QBs who can throw is the team.

God, I thought the Jacket faithful were supposed to be smart! Now all I hear is delusional crap like getting Meyer or Saban? Seriously? They still think Johnson is a genius, but just needs to recruit better. Ya think? No matter what they do, their defense will always struggle against a traditional offensive scheme because it practices against the Vaunted Option daily and never sees a good offense in practice. One of the Tech guys is quoted in the AJC as saying they couldn’t cover Orson Charles because they “weren’t in position to stop him”. Goodness gracious, makes me want them to keep PJ forever.

I recall that not that long ago we were getting the same suggestions from some Dawg “fans”. By seeing it from afar, I hope all those silly shits get over their arrogant Monday Morning QBing and begin to appreciate a really good team and staff. Remember, were it not for Richt, with Bobo and Grantham, you could be whining the same insane crap. Many of us,however, enjoyed all the 10 wins while some of you were sounding exactly like Techsters through win 6.
A great coaching staff has coached this believing team out of chaos and into UGA Annals. May it continue at least one more week. And if you nonbelievers still get on the bus, I for one, would like to see your comments about next week’s game beforehand in case we lose. How about some matchups on D and O. And while we are at it, let’s see some outline of Bobo’s play calling during the Tech game.

Richt and Grantham maybe, but Bobo is still a cancer left over from Richt’s cronyism days where people kept their jobs not by merit but because Richt was too nice to upgrade.

Bobo is still not a top notch OC. He is not as good an OC as Grantham is DC, and we deserve top notch at both coordinator positions.

Also, the difference between the UGA job and the GaTech job is UGA actually CAN get anyone.

At this moment, Georgia is third in the conference in total offense and fourth in scoring offense. Considering that he’s had to break in a new group at wide receiver, live on the edge with the lack of depth on the o-line and juggle his running backs from week to week, maybe he deserves some slack, eh?

Here’s my favorite bit of logic from the ACC circle jerk of parity:
“If they had to play more games against the Big 12 and Pac 12 (their two biggest challengers of the past 5-6 years) they would not have been quite as dominant.
And really, they probably should not be 5-0 in the last 5 BCS title games. Oklahoma and Oregon were a play or 2 away from winning those games. I think they obviously could have gone either way. And Texas-Bama would probably have been the same way with McCoy playing.
I think the SEC was a little lucky to win all 5. Their probably “Should” be something like 4-1 or 3-2 in those past 5 games.”

As always, the defeat of Tech is gift that keeps on giving. It is the CFB equivalent of an annuity.
A single, non-conference ‘W’, over a mediocre opponent should not yield this much pleasure — yet it never fails to satisfy. Even when the have a coach who is impossible to dislike, the football gods provide us with Reggie Ball. Reggie leaves us and we are provided with the manna that is Moobs Johnson aka “New Sheriff” and the literary stylings of Bradley and Schultz trumpeting his “genius.”
Good times.

Message Boards are about a zillion times superior for having an actual online discussion to a blog. On a blog, only the blog creator can create a topic, and generally there is massive topic drift and disorganization in response to a single blog post.

Abry’s injury wasn’t due to a chop block but that is a very dangerous scheme to play against the week before the SECCG. Still want that game dropped/moved.

All of these comments are hilarious. I must say, as a non-Georgian I did not get the Tech rivalry when I went to UGA years back–hated Florida so much more. I didn’t spend much time in Atlanta, didn’t know how deep the bile ran. It was only until the interwebs, when I had moved out of state and got exposed to the 2008 debacle, that I truly gained understanding of the heat that fuels this thing. It feels good to be on the bus; it feels GOOD to hate a bunch of sad-sack losers and know that you can never take your foot out of their ass for one second because of the interminable year it will take to get it back in.

I think the nerds are taking this whole football thing a little to seriously. I mean devising your own computer ranking system? Lauding the Big12’s accomplishments while degrading the SEC, all in an effort to somehow wave the ACC banner? Seriously. Stop.

Sorry, should have been more clear. 104.9 in Clemson – Walt Deptula.

I don’t know (nor do I care) if he has revised his opinion on that matter. He has constantly bashed UGA and Richt this year saying that he’s washed up and should have been fired last year. He is somehow convinced that CPJ is a genius. I would like to hear what he has to say tomorrow, but will be out of town.

I’ll admit that one of my biggest guilty pleasures after a dawgs win is lurking the opposing team’s message boards….and I’d have to say that the tech ones are some of the most fun.
Obviously team message boards are delusional no matter who you are talking about, but the closed nature of the tech ones ratchets it up to new levels…the real circle jerk is a bunch of nerds that allow nothing even resembling a dissenting opinion to enter their little world like stingtalk.
One thing I’ve noticed in my short ventures into GT lala land is their seemingly universal agreement that Vad Lee will be their savior next year: actually saw one post claiming he was going to be better than Eric Crouch was at Nebraska.
Now I don’t follow recruiting much outside of UGA and the SEC to a lesser degree, but I thought Vad Lee was a 3 star rated Athlete that wasn’t anything special. Is this guy a diamond in the rough I haven’t heard about or are the Tech fans just grasping at straws in a major way?
