Oh Georgia Tech...

Found myself mindlessly roaming the internet today, stumbled upon a GT fan forum. And what happened?

I lost what little credibility/respect I had for Georgia Tech fans.

First of all, half of their forum isn't stuff about THEIR team, but about how bad they think VT is. Since Saturday, all they have been talking about how we are "an embarrassment to the ACC" because we took 3 OT's to beat Marshall. So wait, WINNING two close games in back-to-back weeks against a pair of fairly-good football programs is an "embarrassment?" So what about your team last year? Losing by 3 touchdowns AT HOME TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE wasn't "an embarrassment? And then, four weeks later, losing AT HOME TO BYU BY 24? Now those two games, along with consistently getting by Georgia every year, are an embarrassment if you ask me.

Secondly, a recent thread was made on the forum, with a poll in which visitors could try to predict how many games Virginia Tech will win this year. The poll ranged from 3 wins to 8 wins. Here is a quote from that thread:

Let's be honest, this Virginia Tech team is BAD. They have no business even staying in the game with us Thursday, but then again, we all know that Turkey Neck Beams and Budweiser are the two dirtiest coaches in the ACC, maybe in the country. Would not be shocked to see them try to take Vad out of the game early with a late hit. Given that GT, Miami, and UVA are basically automatic losses for them, I've capped the poll at 8 wins.

Oh, wow. Where do I start? "This Virginia Tech team is BAD?" O.K., yeah, this team isn't nearly as good as it usually is, but this year's squad is better than last year's, and didn't we take down the Jackets last year? Yes, yes we did.

And "the dirtiest team in the ACC, maybe in the country??" Are you kidding? Your coach's best skill is finding out how to legally chop block, and even that has only got him one win against VT in five tries. And by the way, Jeremiah Attaochu's punch on Logan Thomas in 2011 automatically made GT the dirtiest team in the ACC.

"Given that GT, Miami, and UVA are basically automatic losses for them.." Ha! I'm just going to leave that one for you all to discuss below. :)

Finally, I just want to say that I want to see some Yellow Jackets get killed this Thursday night. Not beaten, but KILLED.
