I think GT regrets it because it would bring more prestige to their wretched, pathetic program. However, for a school as craptastic as theirs,

Tech's all-time record and bowl record is pretty similar to UGA's and Tech's won more National Titles and won one more recently.

Yes it is.

ETA: Tech 690 wins, UGA 748 wins. 58 more wins over a 120-year period is not that much. Tech 42 bowl appearances, UGA 45.

And as I said, Tech has more NC's and more recently won one.

If you're going to spout stuff, you should probably at least know what you're talking about. He wasnt tackling graning.

Is it? Tech isn't really close to us in wins, and they DAMN sure aren't close to us in the all time series.

quote:

Tech's won more National Titles


We've won 5, I don't know how many they've won. And most of theirs were like pre 30s I believe.

quote:

They had a split title in 1990, big deal. That doesn't change the fact that they're largely irrelevant in college football.

I thought Dodd was pissed about the Bear blatantly cheating and everyone turning a blind eye to it.

You just described your team for the past 3 seasons.

Your school claims 2. This says you've won 2. And it's generally pretty liberal - it gives Bama 13.

No, it's a LOT closer to UGA's percentage than it is to .500

Blocking him, whatever, you still dont elbow or forearm to the face, it's cheap. It was how some football was played then, trying to punish the other team by hurting them. Alabama, along with other teams, did it more than most. It was how the bear played ball

I didn't bother clicking the link but I'm sure I know what it'll say.

quote:

Your school claims 2


We claim 2 'concensus' titles, in 42 and 80.

quote:

it gives Bama 13


Then the site is wrong. If bama has won 13, then we've won 5 going by the same standards. If you count bama's legit ones (which would still be very high, what is it 8?) then we would count 2. You can't do it both ways at the same time though.

And I described tech's program since the last world war.

And I would hardly count winning the east and being 30 minutes from an SEC title as irrelevant.

You missed the point. It counts ALL of them. It doesn't do it both ways.
