Never see it in the media anymore. Super lopsided. I dont even hear my UGA friends in Atlanta mention this game much anymore. They should rename it Clean Old Fashioned Indifference

when you win 9 out of 10 it clearly isn't a rivalry. In that situation one is elite, the other mediocre.

You have to be in the same stratosphere to be rivals.

It’s really just annoying.

Our 4 rivals: Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, and GT,

Of these 4 teams, beating GT is by far the least satisfying.

However, losing to GT is worse than losing to any of the others. Tech fans have a serious little brother syndrome.

It’s such a high risk low reward game. If it wasn’t such a storied rivalry I’d drop it in a second to play another Power 5 OOC game.

You know when you’re out cutting the grass and that one fly keeps trying to land on your eyeball? It’s kinda like that.

Didn't GT win a NC in 1990?

Isn't 1990>1980?

UT-uga is more of a rivalry and UT is sub-relevant.

UGA’s cheating has made the talent discrepancy too big for that game to be of any interest.

Auburn at least makes it competitive more often than not... I mean frick Auburn and everything but no sense in lumping them in with Tech.

Visual guidance for just how long Tech has not mattered at all...

Really? Ga. Tech used to give players all the pocket protectors they wanted, until they found out none of them knew how to write.

Not surprising UT fans think the 90’s are still relevant.

Colorado was a farce but even if I give you that - co-champs>no-champs. And that’s not debatable

Tech hasn’t won a HOME game against IGA since the last millennium, and it took one of the worst officiating decisions in my lifetime to win that one.

No it’s not a rivalry.
