Who are you blaming, seems like every coach since Vince Dooley, and the professor outed him out where she was told to pass players whether they cane to class or not. UGA has the stadium, players, coach, and if not for a lucky fumble recovery on Nickols 10 yard line, you would have loss to them to go along with the Ole Miss & Tennessee losses. Every player at Tech has to pass 2 years of calculus, legally pass, no wave Bys. How many if your player could do that. Also you have player’s that couldn’t get in Tech due to entrance requirements that coaches have tried to get changed by adding majors that would lower the entrance requirements to be able to get players other schools can get, but the administration refused. I respect them for that because education ( Graduation in a legitimate major ) is what they are there for. A very small % go to the pros. What do you do if you are not part of that small %. I realize you don’t care about that. All you care about us wins. Before you put down Tech, you have the facilities, etc. Why haven’t you won your side of SEC, and SEC championship. Guess you need to sell lot more hot dogs are anything else that you all are talking about on this site. We have 4 national championship, 3 while in the SEC. Have many do UGA have, can you count to one. You have facilities, coach, and fans ( also hot dogs ), so what is your excuse. Seems to me you constantly blame three coach. Spend more time figuring out your problem before trying to put down Tech program. All of you on this site need to use to your brain to figure out your own problem instead of being so fixated and stuck on Techs program, enough said. Maybe UGA will win a few more, or you will be ready for this new coach to go.

Maybe UGA will someday live up to your expectations if you can become unfixated and transfixed on Tech. Solve your own teams problems. Would have lost to Nickols if not for a lucky fumble on their 10 yard line with little time left for a TD to avoid what was really a a– whipping, a really bad a– whipping by Ole Miss, and reverse Nickols karma put on you by Tennessee. But eventually you strart blaming Kirby Smart. You had two good first years with Ritch, now you hate and blame him. It’s always the coach. Great stadium, facilities, players, coach’s, lots of fans, what is UGA’s problem. According to all post, it’d the coaches. Spend less time figuring out your own problem instead of others. Use your brain, if Tech beats you, or loses to you, it’s just one game. It’s not the problems for all the other losses you have. Tech has 4 national championships, 3 while in the vaunted SEC, how many does UGA have, can you count to 1. Solve your own problems before commenting on others. It almost seems like you all think if you put down Tech, you own problems will go away. Believe me, it doesn’t work that way.

I saw that offense in the Nickols game where you won on a fumble at their 10 yard line that went for a TD, otherwise it would have been a loss to go along with the Ole Miss whipping, and the reverse of the Nickols luck in the Tennessee game.

Now you hate him just like every coach that comes after him and those before. Solve your own problem before getting fixated and all consumed on what is going on at Tech. I usually don’t get involved in these sites, but you UGA fans act like if we down Tech, it will solve our own teams problems. Get a life. If you lose, the sun comes up the next morning, you still have a job, you still have friends, but I guess if you run your mouth like you all do, that’s a lot of crow to eat, so I’ll just dump my heartaches on Tech. A little bit of advice, don’t blame Tech for all you woes at UGA. Spend your time solving your own program. Then maybe you’ll maybe win your division of the SEC.

We don’t try to have the best team money can buy. You start that, and you have the players arrested with drugs & guns like Alabama has. Also compare the majors at Tech, and the fact that every player has to take two years of calculus. Check the entrance requirements for recruits to Tech compared to most SEC schools, and we don’t lower these standards to get ball players others can get in school that we can’t. Consider the small % that make it to the pros. What are you going to fall back on if you are not in that %. Also consider how many make it to the pros to only leave within first year. Education matters. Compare our player graduation % compared to national average. UGA has great facilities, good coaches, what is the problem that they don’t win their division and SEC championships. Don’t look at a straw in our eye when you have a stick in yours. I don’t like to get caught up in this kind of stuff, but I’m old enough, been to war, had a career in a large corporation, and can’t believe the petty put downs by people that don’t have a clue in the grand sheme if things. Tech lost to miami by self inflicted wounds. You know what, the sun came up the next morning. I’ve found out that people that put down others have three same problems themselves, and misery likes company. Get a life.

The call was prearranged. Kimbrough spoke with Johnson and Tech voice Andy Demetra for about three minutes about preparations for the launch and the mission itself.
“The main mission up there is to do a bunch of science and research to benefit everybody here on Earth,” Kimbrough said. “We’re really looking forward to that piece of it.”
Johnson had his own question for the retired Army colonel: “Do you get ESPN up there?”
Kimbrough, a sports fan, replied that some games are streamed up to the space station, usually a day late, and that the orbiting lab does receive one channel it can get live. Kimbrough also said he planned to bring some Tech paraphernalia to space.
Kimbrough is one of 14 Tech graduates who have been in space. He was previously aboard the space shuttle Endeavor in 2008. Tech fans looking for an omen will note that Kimbrough was in orbit for two of the biggest wins of Johnson’s tenure – over Miami and Georgia.

While he dwells on the strength of the teams they face, the plea for facilities improvement should hit a vein of interest there. The better facilities impress the recruits; we all know this, but Miami isn’t any better off and that excuse can’t extend to his last game. Of course Miami, like us, knows that new facilities are on the way while Paul ain’t got shit for commitment for the future, much like Richt’s last years at UGA. He has problems and needs new facilities (somehow I thought they had a new player’s facility built into the stadium, or was that just plans?) and he’s giving notice of a “Don’t blame me if you guys can’t get off the dime to support me.” situation that needs attending to.
Other than understanding where he is coming from, he can go fuck himself and Tech in the process.

But it’s a bad sign when a team can’t overpower an undermanned opponent in its first home game of the year. It’s a bad sign when it can’t run the ball with possibly the best running back in the country. It’s a bad sign when a seven-to-eight-touchdown favorite finds itself trailing in the third quarter.
