Clean Old-Fashioned Hate
From a Tech Student​
The Georgia Tech football program first played the University of Georgia in 1893. Tech defeated Georgia 28-6 marking the first-ever victory for the school. Facing imminent defeat, the angry Georgia fans threw stones and other debris at the Tech players. This poor treatment by the Georgia faithful gave birth to the rivalry now known as "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate". This rivalry has spanned generations, and the fire still burns like it first did in 1893, even though the schools are no longer in the same conference.

Before tech even fielded a football team, a rivalry with UGA had already been stablished. On February 20th, 1892, Tech students attended a game between Auburn and Georgia to cheer for the Tigers, or, more likely, against the hated Bulldogs. The student body appointed a committee to suggest unifying colors to identify Tech fans in attendance. The committee decided on Old Gold and White, and close to 200 Tech students wore our beloved colors to the game. True gold fabric was hard to come by at the time, so avid Tech fans supported the team by wearing the closest thing they could - yellow-colored jackets (note the name).

Many of you may be aware of our beloved mascot, the Ramblin' Reck. Tradition holds that any freshman who touches the Reck between convocation in the fall and the last day of classes in the spring will not only be cursed with bad luck for their college career, but will also cause the football team to lose to UGA that year. Georgia Tech's student newspaper The Technique publishes a special "To Hell With Georgia" issue on the week of the game with u[sic]ga.

References to Georgia in Georgia Tech Fight Song/Cheers:

?Up with the white and gold,
down with the red and black,
Georgia Tech is out for a victory.
We?ll drop our battle-axe on Georgia?s head,
When we meet her our team is sure to beat her.
Down on the old farm there will be no sound
Till our bow-wows rip through the air;
When the battle is over Georgia?s team will be found
With the Yellow Jackets swarming ?round!

..,If I had a son, sir, I?ll tell you what he?d do --
He would yell, ?TO HELL WITH GEORGIA,? like his daddy used to do.

What?s the Good Word?
To Hell with Georgia! X3
How ?bout them dawgs?
[censored] on ?em!

Georgia Tech Injury Update (ajc)

Link to Paul Johnson's Weekly Teleconference

This years game will match up the ACC's leading rusher in Jonathan Dwyer against the SEC's leading rusher, Knowshon Moreno.

Georgia Tech ranks first in the ACC in rushing offense and scoring defense.
Georgia ranks first in the SEC in Passing offense and Punt Returns.

One last final note...
TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!

AJC article about two running backs from Ga Tech and UGA.
I especially like Dwyer giving props to Beanie when a reporter asked him about Knowshon.

Welcome to AJC! | ajc.com

Knowshon Moreno
?Who?? Moreno responded when asked if he knew Dwyer.

Jonathan Dwyer
?He brings excitement to the game, but there are a lot of backs who bring a spark to the game,? Dwyer said. ?(Ohio State?s) Chris ?Beanie? Wells, other guys, I pretty much watch everybody.?

For anyone who saw that last play (the long jones run)... Am I understanding the rule wrong, or was that a completely obvious, and yet still uncalled, horsecollar tackle?

That was a horsecollar tackle. And it was uncalled, there have been about two or three that haven't been called this game.

A horsecollar is really any tackle using the shoulder pads around the neck, though it's usually called when they tackle from behind as opposed to the front. The legs can get caught and really tear a knee.

Chasing a missed XP early is dumb. It is also why Utah is still undefeated. Had Oregon State not gone for 2 - twice - and just kicked XPs the Utes couldn't have caught them at the end.

Tear. Up. The. Card.

Go for two when you HAVE to go for two. The end.

Wow this is actually becoming a game.....I figured Georgia would walk away but it is staying close.

I'm not a Tech fan, but live in Atlanta, and Tech is actually pretty good. Paul Johnson's offense has had success everywhere, and he inherited some players from Gailey. I don't know how well they will hold up against the SEC speed, but both these teams came to play, can't count out the Jackets just yet.

I guess it's because I haven't watched much of GTech...or even the ACC this year. I just expected the "superior SEC" to walk away from the "Terrible ACC". That's what I get from listening to ESPiN
