I spent a good part of last evening going through the Hate Week Armory links. There is nothing better in sports than Georgia Tech beating Georgia in football -and there is no better way for me to get ready for this game that to remind myself of the genuine euphoric feeling that I get from a victory in this game. There is truly no other feeling like it in sports … in life.

That’s it during my lifetime - 14-41. I have watched Tech defeat UGA in person only three times in my life -1984, 1990, 2000- all in Athens. For whatever reasons, I was not at BDS in 1999, although I had attended games in the 1970’s and 1980’s, and started attending games fairly regularly in 1995 when O’Leary was hired, picking up season tickets a few years later. I was there in 1983 when 3-7 Tech nearly pulled off the upset over 8-1-1 UGA.
Despite the issues the program is mired in at the moment (no need to go into that here) I am of the mindset to put that in the background for now and get my “mind-rite” as we like to say, and get ready for COFH. Here’s to the white and gold -give ‘em hell Jackets, play hard and play to win.
Go Jackets
To Hell With Georgia
