I found it pretty entertaining...

To all Bulldog fans,

On the eve of yet another battle with our bitter in state rivals, I offer this open letter to all DAWG fans to curtail an abhorrent practice prevalent amongst our own. In many years passed as I have attended this event, and I’ve been forced to cringe and shutter as I hear fellow Bulldog supporters chant in derision toward the GT team the following:

Nerds, Nerds, Nerds!

To be concise, Stop doing this!

Here’s why:

1. On a most basic level, when you call someone a nerd you are basically saying, “You’re smart and I don’t know what to say to that so you’re a nerd.” Now I do know some dumb nerds, but that’s not important here. Let’s agree that the Georgia Institute of Technology is a fine academic Institution and has been recognized as such many times. UGA has also made great strides in academic standards especially since the time that I was admitted as a student. Please don’t undermine this by chanting, Nerds, Nerds, Nerds.

2. There is however a more important reason why this chant should die a quick death. If you are not aware, the aforementioned chant is a reference from the movie Revenge of the Nerds which was released in 1984. In this movie there are two featured groups of students representing fraternities. The group consisting of popular jock types are the Alpha Betas (Alphas) and the group consisting of academic orientated, otherly types are the tri Lambdas (Tri lambs). Throughout the movie, the Alphas and those who identify with them often chant Nerds, Nerds, Nerds in derision toward the Tri Lambs.

Here’s the thing though… In the movie, the Tri Lambs actually win.

Yes, that’s right, the nerds win. They win the Olympic type competition conducted by the University. The also win the girls (or some of them) in the end. Furthermore, at the end of the movie the Tri Lambs actually adopt the chant as a sort of victory cry and are joined by those who grant them their newly popular status.

So as you can see by chanting Nerds, Nerds, Nerds at UGA/GT games, not only do you sound dumb because of point 1. You also show, as outlined by point 2, that you don’t understand the basic plotline of the movie from which the chant originated or you’re chanting something and don’t even know what it is exactly.

I realize that this year’s game is in Atlanta and so the chant will be less prevalent than in Sanford, but please stop chanting this immediately. I’m sick of apologizing for you!

Go DAWGS,

I always though calling us nerds was more of a compliment than anything. It pretty much can be paraphrased: " we suck at life, but the football team I root for because everyone else does wins more game than the team you root for because you went to school there."

Bigger question is why do you have dwag friends?

Yesterday a dwag fan, who was a guest at dinner, commented on my dog's Georgia Tech collar with, "shouldn't a dog be a Dawg fan?" My response: "She has the intelligence of a uGA honor's college student but enough common sense to support the good guys.". We didn't talk for the rest of the evening. Guest be damned if you're a dwag.
 
That dwag fan seems like a pretty big nerd.

Sounds like a dwag "engineer".

"I'm going to get an engineering degree, but I'm going to do it at a college where the expressed purpose of the college, per the college president, is to create low-cost engineers to fill needs in middle and south Georgia."

I guess, to be fair, their options are really uGA "engineering" or Georgia Southern Physical Education. At least this way they can afford the super fancy pre-manufacturered homes that do not have wheels.
 
He's not a dwangineer, I forget what he got his degree in. Since it's not ag related, though, that means it's probably generally worthless. Which is a shame because the dude's not dumb.

There are so many dwag fans that are embarrassed by their kin. It's really pretty funny to me. I mostly sit back and laugh, watching them try to swim upstream getting their fellows to act civilized. They realize the unwashed masses play right into the GT narrative, because deep down they also realize that the GT narrative is right. They're just afraid to admit it.
