Cautionary tale of leaving the SEC


But once Georgia leaves over the 9-game schedule, they'll return to the warm SEC embrace.

They're hiding in the same deep closets USCe's fans were in for years.

No other major school really comes close to these 4 tiers



You should add Ohio State to the fourth tier with as many transplanted alumni as have moved here.

They are 5th tier. There are as many Penn St, Nebraska, Michigan, and Irish fans as there are bucknuts. They can't stand their godforsaken hometowns. But they love their football.

You still don't get it.







I'm not saying that UGA will leave the SEC.






I'm saying that... when UGA is ready...


























We won't have to...
























They're coming for your Mizzou...

This thread is kinda ironic, seeing as how Tech has won a legit NC more recently than 9 of the 14 current SEC members.

They split the polls, winning the coach's poll by a single vote over the AP poll winner, most likely due to pity after the 5th Down Game. They played the #21 ranked team in the country in the Citrus (Capital One) bowl.

Let's not get too carried away here.

They were top 10 in 09 and the local sports radio still hardly ever talked about them.

And they lost the only game that anyone affiliated with the program even halfway cares about. YOu will never in your life see a major conference school be so dejected about winning their division and eventually playing in the orange bowl than the 09 tech team.

I still can't believe they lost to freakin' Joe Cox.
They also had to vacate their ACC title.

Well, technically the reason they lost was their run defense. Cox only threw for 76 yards that game, while we rushed for about 340. Ealey had about 180 and King about 160. It was weird, both of those guys had career games in the same game. Tech just absolutely could not stop our run game.

And then at the end, in such textbook typical tech fashion, driving with the ball down 6 with a few minutes to go, they throw it to their star WR who would get taken high in the NFL draft and tear up the NFL, only to see it clank off his hands and fall harmlessly to the ground. This is tech football.

GTech is doomed to be irrelevant forever. Not a true rival of UGA imo.

gtfo. They are our biggest rival, without question, and always will be. Any UGA fan that claims tech is not our biggest rival instantly goes down a notch in my book. Yes I'm serious.

They are probably quite skilled at asking mom for more snacks and if the laundry is done. Afterall they've been living with her for 25+ years.
