I hope that score is painted all over the GT football program this offseason. On the practice field, in the weight room, and on T-shirts for that matter.
I'm not talking about revenge, I'm talking about being the best we can be. I've never been a fan that cared about wins or losses. I only hope that my team plays harder and smater than the other guy on a consistent basis. As much pain as I felt after the '97 UGA game, I've never been more proud of GT football. We had no business playing with that football team, but we did it through shear guts.
Remember 51-7, it doesn't mean we are going to kill the Dawgs the next time we meet or that Mark Richt lacked class for running up the score. We sufferred through 51-7 because we lacked emotion and toughness. We may lose 51-7 again but it won't be because the other guy outworked us or wanted it more. That is my hope. I won't forget.
