They had a chance. They had a chance and the blew it. As a proud Georgia Tech fan nothing upsets me more than losing to the Bulldogs, and what's even more upsetting is that UGA was in control of the game the entire time.
Like I said, GT had a chance and they blew that chance. With 1:30 left to go in the 4th quarter UGA led 30-24, Tech had possession of the football. This is where they screwed up. Instead of Paul Johnson's usual running game (which they had plenty of time for) he decided to have QB Josh Nesbitt pass, on all four downs. Johnson should know better than anyone that his triple option offense is not designed for a passing game. He could have called for the hand off to Dwyer, the pitch to Anthony Allen, which would have gained some decent yardage, but instead on fourth down, he put the pressure on WR Damaruis Thomas who drops the pass for an incompletion, turning over the ball to the Bulldogs, who simpl had to take knees to end the game.
I hope, I HOPE, that Paul Johnson doesn't make the same mistakes against Clemson in the ACC championship on Saturday. If Tech wins they will be in one of the five BCS bowls, if not, they will be in a less important bowl. That poor play calling can nd should haunt Paul Johnson for atleast another year until the Yellow Jackets get the chance to beat UGA again.

Welcome/Annoying Fans
Hello, I am The Fist. By viewing this blog you are subjected to my cynicism towards the world. You may choose to read my blog, but I'm sure you may or may not regret that decision. Again, its your choice.
Maybe it's just me, but for some reason whenever I go to a huge sporting/musical/entertainment event, I end up near the most talkative/annoying/drunk fan. I'm sure it has happened to you too. There's always the one person you're sitting near at a huge event that ruins the fun for you. Last night I was at the Georgia Tech/UGA football game, cheering on Georgia Tech(I'm a HUGE fan of GT football) and these loud, obnoxious, and drunk Georgia fans were sitting right behind me.
OK, I understand that they want their team to win, they have the right to cheer on their team, they have freedom of speech. But there comes a point where enough is enough is enough. I was at an Atlanta Thrashers/Philadelphia Flyers game where a Flyers fans spilled beer on me. On a separate occasion (same teams) a Thrashers fan continued talking and talking and talking. It gets to a point of sheer absurdity. Lastly (because I could go on and on with examples) I was at the Verzion Center watching the Washington Capitals play the Florida Panthers. A drunken spectator started cheering on the Buffalo Sabres, THE BUFFALO SABRES! This was completely unrelated to the game, so several fans shouted back at him to shut up. It's unbelievable.
Now I know why private boxes cost so much money, not just for getting a nice private view of the games, but for the ability to (hopefully) get away from the crazy, rude, and obnoxious fans.
