I don't think GT sucks at all.

I actually dread this game more than half the others.

Basically a home opener for GT.

Half the people I work with are Tech grads. Haha. So I've already had to discuss this game like 333 times at work already.

But luckily GT fans are pretty decent people. If they were UGA grads...well, they probably wouldn't have a job....but I would take the rest of that week off of work haha.

Lol great comment about UGA. I find most UT fans to be classy. I guess the most classy fan basses are from better academic schools.

If we are a second tier team than UT must be one as well. We have had just as much success in recent years.

Another reason not to schedule a self-deluded program. You won 3 games two years ago...you're sewer silt!

Well, as mentioned, there is no "now" to judge by. All we have right "now" is a GT fan on a UT message board, begging us to respect you.

It's having the opposite effect for many of us.

Yes, I have begged for respect by asking why fan bases say GT sucks. BTW you're one of the only posters complaining.

I don't get it, we get this often from other teams as well. Is it because of the offensive system and because people don't like the cut blocks? up until 2015 we were tied for the most active consecutive bowl appearances. We won the orange bowl in 2014 with 11 wins. We have been below .500 only once in recent years. We had 9 wins last year with 3 coming against the sec east. We hold a 5-5 record against Clemson and a 5-5 record against FSU since Paul Johnson has been our coach. So why do people say we suck when these facts are more than most other teams can say that we play. Imo it's a misconception based on the fact that we run the offensive system we run, so a lot are just uninformed about us. If there is actually reason why people say this besides, because we cut block and run the system we run (which are not reasons a team would suck) please tell me. Not trying to start anything, this is a serious question.

This is a message board on which folks anonymously post in an unrestrained fashion. Some who post "GT sucks" here may actually mean it. Most do not hold that opinion of GT.

When you meet Tennessee fans in person, in Atlanta, the vast majority will be good-natured, cordial, and generous. Unless you are being an inhospitable effing a*hole. Then it's likely you'll be dismissively ignored.

Represent your university well, and may all you encounters with Tennessee fans be positive ones. :hi:

Not exactly the serious answer to the serious question you were looking for, but....

YOU WEAR RUSSELL ATHLETIC UNIFORMS.

WHO THE HELL WEARS RUSSELL ATHLETIC UNIFORMS?

I remember wearing Russell Athletic uniforms playing tee ball 30+ years ago.

Has to do wonders for recruiting.

"Hey did you get that sweet new Georgia Tech jersey down at Lenox Square? "

"Nah man, it was in the clearance bin at the Roses off of Peachtree boulevard."

LOL most high schools don't even use Russell anymore.

Doesn't your reluctance to talk about anything but recent GT success and the prospects of this year's very experienced roster sort of answer the original question?

If you have no respect for the accomplishments in the recent history of your program, why should we?

I don't care about talking about the past..... but my question is why do some say GT sucks with what they have done recently (just as much as most teams we play) ill admit there were times we sucked back in the day, but that doesn't reflect on if the team is good now or not.

GT by no means sucks. As a matter of fact they are a good football team. Any Vol fan who thinks we will just walk all over GT is delusional. This is a game we could lose very easily. Actually, I think we lose a close one to GT. I just dont have much faith in the defense and the offense has to replace about 95% of its production from last year.

Actually, I think you need yo A$$ whopped!:rock:

And UT has been below .500 5 times over the past decade. That's only happened to us once. Your argument is invalid. 2 years ago means nothing for either team.

Two years ago count as "back in the day"? You won 3 games! :w00t: That would be epically bad if you didn't already have a 1 win season on the books since 1990. :lol:

It's more "recent" than our last 5 win season...if we're being consistent. :hi:

Yea, most UT fans are very respectful, classy people. Y'all should get the same from most GT fans, although we do have some boneheads lol.

Here's the list of teams who suck, according to VolNation, in 2017:

Georgia Tech
Indiana State
Florida
U Mass
Georgia
South Carolina
Alabama (even if they beat us by double digits, someone will say it)
Kentucky
Southern Miss
Missouri
LSU
Vanderbilt

If that looks suspiciously like the list of teams we play this year, well, yep.

So that's by far the primary and #1 reason people on these boards will say Georgia Tech sucks.


We are the Vols and you are not, plain and simple.

We also had 11 wins in 2014 when's the last time UT did that? It's honestly irrelevant, you are just wanting to argue. I asked a simple question at the beginning, so I'll leave it at that with you.

Ok so we both won 9 games last year so we must be even going into this year based on that? Please say we can agree on this lol?

Our team is going to murder your lil nancies, gobble up the corpses and release the resulting waste over Atlanta on the flight home.

11 wins and then utter failure the next. You should have fired PJ for trotting that out on the field. We get "failure" labeled for only winning 3 straight bowls and posting back to back 9 win seasons. You didn't ask a simple question. You conjured up a fraudulent Vol fan statement that your program sucks...and didn't like the feedback. :)

I think OP is reading in to this wrong.

Most of the board doesn't think GT sucks; look at the overwhelming number of responses from VN stating things like "close game", "hard fought", "possession battle", etc.

The problem is that your coach is a prick and your offensive scheme leads to injuries. Last year was the worst season for injuries at UT I can remember; you'll have to excuse us for being gun-shy and negative.

That being said, Oregon beat the holy hell out of us two years in a row, and now we are bros. We can be bros with you guys as well. At least neither of us are UGA.
