OK, so off the normal Game Day Thread. 1974, damn cold, wet to the bone and more fun that winning the Lottery. The AJC (sic) has an article by Ken Sugiura in today's rag. Yes just a few years back, 49 to be exact, we did the impossible - the unthinkable; Beat UGA in Athens. What a day. Let's hope and pray that the Jackets can complete the regular season with a win that will shake the Football world.

Interesting analysis. I hope somehow those numbers equate to an upset for Georgia Tech.

If I had to guess, I’m going to share with you the statistic that is keeping Nick Saban up at night, as he prepares for the SEC championship showdown with Georgia, and it’s the one that bothers me as a Tech fan today:

UGAs QB has a 73% completion rate for 3,320 yards, 21 touchdowns and just five interceptions this season

The most important position on the entire field has very impressive statistics.
 
Any tips on handling the UGAg fans that bought from the GT season tix holder (he who bragged at Cuse' game about making a profit) behind me?

#2 makes no sense to me. We are allowing fewer rushing yards? I find that hard to believe

Is this some AI bullshit?

If you are in Section 223, I would recommend you relocate.

I took my dad to the game, and it was so miserably cold, windy, and wet, that I suggested leaving at halftime, since the game was essentially over. He wouldn't have any of it, saying he was enjoying it too much. Miserable and GLORIOUS day !!!
