This isn't merely a football rivalry. U[sic]GA has tried, since Tech's founding, to destroy GT. They've cut off funding for decades at a time. Tried to force our presidents out. Tried to manage our campus. And we've beaten them every time despite their, at times, complete control of the legislature.
At the end of the day, they don't even do 8 figures of research a year. We're one of the top 25 research universities in the world. They aren't even top 150 in this country.
When we got the one of the first ROTC-predecessor programs in the country, they threw a parade and called our military men cowards.
When we were about to become a land grant school, they lobbied Congress to limit states to only one land grant school.
Our management degree is a comparatively young program to their business school. And yet, it is already ranked far ahead of theirs.
When they got tired of losing to us in football, they poured everything they had into sports. Academics went out the window over there. for sports. Because that is the only thing they can hope to beat us at and they know it.
There is no academic comparison.
They are hardly the third best school in the state of Georgia.
If we stopped playing football against U[sic]GA tomorrow, I'd still hate them.
Yes, I would like us to beat them in football. But football is hardly the point. That's the only game they have. Off that field we play in leagues their school won't ever be a part of. They know it. And that is why their alumni hate us. Their sidewalk fans couldn't differentiate between toilet paper and a U[sic]GA degree. Why would I care what they think?
But as to football, they've got their one national title. We have four. Heisman and Dodd coached here. Their highlight is Vince Dooley.
They lead the series by twenty games? Big deal. We've won more national titles. We've one a national title in my lifetime. They haven't.
They have a stadium that was designed by an architect who got fired while working on the abomination that is UNC's stadium. Their corridors are far to narrow. They grow a weed, like 10 other SEC schools around their field and believe they have something special.
Their mascot is inbred, and lacks discernable genitals. It is a disgusting abomination of an animal unworthy to be called a canine. And they revel in the fact that their weakling creature is an all-white genetic eunuch that can't breathe.
The fact that they've won more games lately doesn't make me want to trade places. Because if we ever start to dominate the series, they will fall to pieces. Because since they made the decision to focus everything they had on beating us, back in the late 50's, that is all they've had. And once that is gone, they'll have nothing but fifty years, a substandard school, and a large unremarkable stadium with drainage problems.
