Maybe a bit of an overstatement, but I believe this could actually be the case. The sampling of CBR, CGO'L, DR, and now MBob relative to the first hand look they got at the athletic support structure at Tech, and them bolting afterwards, does not bode well.

I hear ya. Just remember the BC game in 07 having a lot of bottle-throwing as well. 07 vs the dwags had some terrible officiating as well, but not sure if it had as much bottle-throwing.

Technically, the BC throw that hit matt ryan was a flask.

Here comes beej the contrarian.

Let's totally overlook the fact that MBOB was complicit in our shoestring budget in the first place, signing Gregory to that RIDICULOUS contract extension.

I will concede that point entirely.

I think the actually game was ND when they called the late hit by Wheeler. Regardless, there was definitely a bottle thrown. Came from row behind me in lower west. Great throw too. Nailed the ref.

Pretty good read from AJC Schultz.

http://www.myajc.com/news/sports/college/georgia-tech-was-dysfunction-junction-under-bobins/nsCmC/

To understand the dysfunction that existed in the Georgia Tech athletic department, thanks largely to the departing Mike Bobinski, consider the clown show that has surrounded planning for the football team’s season opener in Ireland.

Bobinski’s soldiers in the Tech administration originally cut a deal that the Jackets would travel to Dublin, not by a major airline like Delta or (title sponsor) Aer Lingus, but Omni Air — a low-budget carrier that made its mark in transporting cargo and more recently focused on military charter flights to garden spots like Afghanistan.

The plane that Omni was going to provide for an eight-hour flight from Atlanta to Dublin for Tech’s players, coaches, marching band members and cheerleaders did not have WiFi, in-flight entertainment or anything in the way of amenities. The plane also included several rows of seats where the armrests didn’t go up, which can be a major problem for 300-plus pound linemen, and at the time of a recent visit reportedly smelled like a garbage dumpster.

“A tin can,” is how one Tech source described it.

We can tell at Bobby Dodd how bad the officiating is in relation to oz's of water thrown at refs or cushions used as a kind of Frisbee, as JJacket has mentioned. Although it wasn't at refs or had to do with officiating, we can get creative with trout, mackerel, or the like. :biggrin:

I don't think Omni Air flies all the way to Afghanistan. My battalion did take Omni Air to Kuwait with a pit stop in Ireland. The description of the plane sounds about right though.
 
I'm a little disappointed this didn't happen on Thursday.
