Are there any truths in his opinion? If so, as fans, what are you willing to do about it?
Tech won’t be better, nor will it beat Georgia on Nov. 24. Here are 20 reasons why:
1. Chan Gailey: Pretty fair coach. Mark Richt: Really good coach.
2. Georgia’s No. 1 quarterback beat out three teammates for the job. Tech’s No. 1 quarterback couldn’t beat out Reggie Ball.
3. Last season should have been Georgia’s worst under Richt, and the Bulldogs still won nine games and finished in the AP Top 25.
4. Last season should have been Tech’s best under Gailey, and the Jackets still lost five games and finished out of the AP Top 25.
5. Chan Gailey: 0-5 against Georgia. Mark Richt: 6-0 against Tech.
6. Tech is welcoming what is believed to be a fine recruiting class. Georgia welcomes what is believed to be a fine recruiting class every single August.
7. For all the fuss made over Jon Tenuta’s defense, it should be noted that the Georgia D, coached by the unappreciated Willie Martinez, finished ahead of Tech last season in total defense, scoring defense, pass defense and turnovers created.
8. Tashard Choice is one of the nation’s best backs. Kregg Lumpkin will become one of the nation’s best backs when Georgia finally decides to keep giving him the ball.
9. Uga VI is always happy to pose for photographs. The Rambling Wreck has gotten camera-shy.
10. Chan Gailey: Respected more by NFL teams than by his carping constituency. Mark Richt: Beloved throughout Bulldog Nation.
11. Tech people believe the absence of Ball will constitute addition by subtraction. What Tech people haven’t fully grasped is that the absence of Calvin Johnson will constitute subtraction by subtraction.
12. The last Georgia coach to lose to Tech was fired nine days later. Talk about motivation to keep winning.
13. The last Tech coach to beat Georgia was largely responsible for all those new seats atop Bobby Dodd Stadium, for which Bulldogs fans are most grateful one Saturday every two years.
14. Tech has a new offensive coordinator in John Bond, who’s replacing Patrick Nix. Georgia has a new offensive coordinator in Mike Bobo, who’s essentially replacing Mark Richt. Point and counterpoint.
15. Chan Gailey: Has taken Tech to one ACC title game, where it managed two field goals. Mark Richt: Has taken Georgia to three SEC title games, where it managed two championships.
16. The SEC is the nation’s best football conference. The ACC might be the fifth best.
17. If Ball was as terrible as Tech fans now believe, how’d he win 29 games? And how come his coach never noticed?
18. This could well be Larry Munson’s last season. Would fate be so cruel as to allow the King of Worry to have all fears realized just as he bids farewell?
19. Chan Gailey: Has played Georgia five times and has seen his teams score a total of 56 points. Mark Richt: Saw his team score 51 points the first time it faced Gailey’s team.
20. I picked Tech over Georgia last year and was somewhat incorrect. I now feel about the Jackets beating the Bulldogs the way I used to feel about the Braves not winning the NL East: I’ll believe it only when I see it. I don’t expect to see it anytime soon.
