The Trade School & Bowl changes

As I'm watching the Hawaii-Boise St. game with my Dad, we both agree that we want nothing to do with either of them in the bowl games if we make it to the BCS. Hawaii because they throw the ball and throw the ball & throw the ball some more. Brennan had over 400 yds passing at the end of the 3rd quarter . . . no thank you.

The good news (I think) is that LSU's loss should mean that if UGA doesn't play in the SECCG (which I'd much rather do, but that's not up to the Dawgs just now) that they could end up in the Orange, Fiesta, or Rose since the SEC Champ would land in the Sugar and probably play Boise or Hawaii. So it's up in the air pending tomorrow's results

BUT

. . . if the Dawgs don't handle the Gnats, it's all pointless talk so, that said . . . tomorrow's opponent, you really don't need any introduction, but . . .

If two of the greatest Bulldogs ever hate Georgia Teck, shouldn't you? Dan Magill and Bill Hartman remind everyone how they should feel about Tech, they're even worse if they win!

Georgia Institute of Technology
(they're not actually a University, don't let them forget that)
First played: 1893
Meeting No.: 100th meeting
Series Record: 58-36-5 (thank GOD for Dooley's 16-9 mark against GT, otherwise it's nearly a dead heat and the Teckies are even more annoying than ever)
Our Nicknames for them: Gnats, Teckies, Nerds, Bugs, pick your favorite
Their nicknames for them: Yellow Jackets
Their nicknames for us (read: 'reasons to hate this team more'): UGAG, Puppies, Cesspool of the South--this one really gets my goat (speaking of, thank God we didn't go w/ the Goats for our mascots!). Rivalry Meter (Level of Hatred 1 = you should beat this team like a drum, almost like when we used to play regularly Mercer way back in the 189os; 10=The Great Satan, Steve Spurrier): 9, simply b/c we've beaten them 6 years in a row isn't a reason for forgetting how f-ing annoying they are when they win. Hell, they're annoying when they lose, what am I talking about?! I would thoroughly enjoy another 51-7 shellacking, but what Dawg fan wouldn't!
Prediction: Like UGA last week against UK with Sr. Day, GT comes out flat, and that means trouble for the Jackets who will play tough and keep it closer than it should be taking advantage of at least one UGA mistake: Choice gets over 100 yds; and Knowshon 100+; UGA 24 GT 10. If the Dawgs play mistake free and like they did in the 1st & 4th quarters against Auburn: UGA 45 GT 17

WRECK TECK! Here's hoping we can make it 7 in a row and UK can pull off the upset against UT!!!

. . . All for now
. . . And to HELL with Ga Tech!
