Clean old fashioned hate


On November 28th, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets took on the Georgia Bulldogs. The game was very important to both teams as the game resides on a historic rivalry between the two Universities. This rivalry has been going on since 1893. Georgia Tech is on it's way to winning the ACC championship on December 5th, whereas the Georgia Bulldogs did terribly throughout the entire season. Hence, understandably, we thought we would win this encounter. Last year, GT beat U(sic)GA at the U(sic)GA campus. The entire campus was buzzing with excitement as GT fans all over were determined to win and get a two streak win against U(sic)GA.
The game started off balanced with both teams playing well. The Bulldogs took the lead by scoring a touchdown. GT's defense was not doing too well. The first half saw a lot of injuries towards GT. The game itself was not going well for GT. We were losing, badly, but there was still hope. That hope was ignited in the fourth quarter when a GT player scored an amazing touchdown to bring U(sic)GA's lead down to only 6 points. All we needed was one touchdown and the game would have been ours by one point. We managed to stop the Bulldogs in four downs and their kicker missed the field goal, this game seemed to be ours! We had possession of the football and there was ample time on the clock for a late comeback. After three unsuccessful passing tries, Coach Paul Johnson decided that we should go for it and try another throw on 4th and 10. Nesbitt, our quarterback threw the ball perfectly to number 8 on our team. Everyone thought that he had made the catch and that we were on 1st down, but to our utter shock and dismay, the player fumbled the ball and the game was lost. U(sic)GA had possession of the ball and they just wasted time on the field.
We were so close to an amazing comeback at Bobby Dodd Stadium but unfortunately, luck was not on our side. We must pick up what we learnt from our mistakes this game and make sure that we win the ACC championship.

"What's the good word!?"
"To HELL with Georgia!"
"What's the good word!?"
"To HELL with Georgia!"
"What's the good word!?"
"To HELL with Georgia!"
"How bout em DOGS!?"
"Piss on em!"
