Mike Griffith, who's had covered UT (Tennessee) for years, has had a stick up his *** about Tech in interviews since being assigned UGA by the AJC and takes shots at the Yellow Jackets at every chance.
He's a regular on Bill King's show in Nashville and belittles the UGA-Tech rivalry at every opportunity.
I like him, but on that count he is an idiot. I think he equates Tech with Vanderbilt as far as UT goes, so he dismisses the value of the in-state rivalry.
As for the poll, as much as I look forward to playing Clemson, Tech is by far the preferred game.
For one thing, a ton of UGA fans, including me, live in Atlanta and enjoy the convenience of the game every other year.
