We are going to the world series

and beating uga

3. Up, then down, then up

With a win Saturday, the Jackets will achieve a peculiar bit of school history by having not won or lost two games in a row for eight games.

Only the teams from 1933 (also Tech’s first season in the SEC as a founding member) and 1945 (Bobby Dodd’s first season as head coach) can make that claim, both having started their seasons going win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-win-loss before breaking the pattern with a loss in their ninth games.

In FBS, Boise State and Northwestern are the only other teams to have alternated wins and losses every game this season.

The Jackets’ pattern calls to mind the Braves’ 17-game streak in July and August in which they failed to win or lose consecutive games. Were Tech’s streak to continue through the end of the season, Jackets fans could celebrate an accomplishment that some might treasure even more than the Braves’ World Series berth. The final link of a 12-game loss-win chain would be an upset of No. 1 Georgia that also would clinch bowl eligibility.

Thanks for the jinx asshat. Saturday is pretty much gonna be a blowout now. And we will lose the only cool thing about this season and our hope for beating UGA with mathematical certainties.
