Georgia Tech has a losing record against Sewanee.
Damn straight!
In the SIAA and SoCon days the private schools were good. GI bill changed that forever after WWII and the state schools came to dominate since, with a few exceptions of privates who still competed at the top level.
On a side note, what do you expect from the Bumbles this season? Will the administration ever make them competitive again? Stanford and even Duke has shown it can be done and neither has the history the Bumbles do.

tech will never be anything noteworthy or more than a blip on the radar with johnson there. Running the offense they do is a sign of desperation when you know you can't get the talent to actually beat people straight up. It's why they will flounder in 7-5/8-4 terrirtory most years.
Academics isn't an excuse. Gailey had joe hamilton as a damn heisman runner up. Stanford is regualrly top 10 with similar standards. Fact is they will never take themselves to the next level until they get a real offense. Problem for them is, whenever johnson leaves they're going to have a full roster full of people recruited for a high school offense so its' going to take at least a few years to switch over to a real one again.

I agree with the Georgia fan, as long as Paul Johnson is coach, a 7-5 / 8-4 season is not a surprise. There will be the occasional 10-2 season if the cards come up correct. The triple option is fun to watch when it works, but it places you in the category as a military school versus a school like Stanford. Yes you can recruit bigger and better players than Army, Air Force, and Navy but you are still limited on what your offense can do. Since 2000, Stanford has proved that you can consistently win and not use academics as an excuse. I wish we would utilize their model. Regardless, I still have fun cheering for our team and recognize that until Johnson has 3 or 4 losing seasons in a row, he will be our coach.
