UGA vs GT

I   started pulling for Tech over UGA as  aYoung  teenager for one main reason.  Everyone else was pulling for the Bulldogs and seemed as if it was strongly one-sided.  it was amplified by how "ugly" many UGA fans were towards the Jackets.  It was , as if, it were  a personal  HATRED for the Atlanta school and not just a competitor..   As  someone who always identified with the underdog, I was drawn towards Tech.  I have always enjoyed good   college football so  obviously I followed  SEC football which required keeping up with UGA.    This said.   My heart pulls for the Jackets.   My objective opinion says it is a toss-up.  GT has the superior offense and home field advantage.  Defense & Special Teams advantage belong to UGA.    The highewr the combined scoring, the better for Tech.  UGA cannot win a shooting match.  As usual, it's anyone's guess who will win but my loyalty remains with Paul Johnson's boys and his unorthodox offense.     GO    JACKETS!!!

VETERANS DAY SALUTE

In honor of Veterans day  on  11/11, I'd like to remind folks of the star athletes that interrupted their Sports career in order to serve in the  U.S. Military.565  MLB players 95% served in  WWII   29 were future hall of famers., 5   HOFers served in Korea. ,    638    NFL players did the same.  Following are just some of the well known names,   Joe Dimaggio, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Yogi Berra, Warren Spahn, Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial. boxer Joe Louis. and many others.  I salute these great athletes and American Heroes for  putting country over self.  I wonder if today's stars would even consider doing it.    I just don't see  Pujos, Fielder, Lebron, Kobe, Matt Ryan doing this.  It's a different culture in the U.S. now and that's a shame.
