Well number 1 I had no idea we disrespected the tribute but then again I dont remember the tribute to begin with.

A better question is why was there a tribute AT GT in the first place and why are you surprised that it was disrespected. I am trying to think of an analogy and the only person I can really think of is Spurrier. If UGA had a tribute for Spurrier AT UGA do you think your fans would just sit there and clap?

Munson openly ripped GT for like 50 years or however long he was up there. Most GT fans had no idea why he was getting a tribute

You do realize that's not true. Ohio State won the coaches title in 2002, that's more titles than Ga Tech has won in the last 20 years


GA Tech has one of the last 20 Coaches National Championships, so what I said was correct.

You said of the last 20 awarded, the 2004 title was awarded to USC. It was later vacated, but was still awarded.

Prior to 1998 and the start of the BCS, the AP NC was considered more prestigeious and if you want to say there shouldn't be a split title after 1998, that's fine, but prior to the start of the BCS that was not the case. Ga Tech won the 1990 title in a split poll, just like 1997 was a split title.

ETA: current members of the B1G have actually won 4 of the last 20-21 coaches national titles.

I always thought they didnt give Callahan enough time to get the good receivers he needed for his offense.



well, when the majority of your states high schools are geared to run the same offense you have used for the last 30 years, its hard to find the types of receivers you may need if you completely change course and go to a pass heavy offense.

you got exactly 27 days to say that even though current memebers of the big 10 have 4 of those 20 and its disengenous to discount the 97 AP title.

1) every year with our 3 biggest rivals both bands go on the field for half, home or away.
2) it was the first game since he passed
3) munson is not spurrier
4) munson hardly ripped tech like he should have

the tribute wasn't much. it was our band spelling out munson and playing the battle hymn of the bulldog nation in his honor but your shite hole student section began chanting "To hell with Georgia." look i understand the little brother syndrome, the angst, and general pissery you tards usually have festering in those melons of yours but to disrespect a legend like larry who was not only the voice of Georgia but also the Falcons and the Braves was just flat out awful. incredibly low rent. but then again there is no other fan base i would see more fit to do it than Georgia Tech and no other fan base as piss poor to actually defend it. not saying you are, although you just did, but i heard others saying the same thing.

it's pitiful that tech couldn't put their blind hate away for 20 seconds so we could honor our fallen legendary announcer in a game which you were never going to win and showed no signs of winning. and then to actually defend it really just, well it just pisses me off that such horrid behavior was allowed and defended.

this wasn't steve spurrier, this wasn't any actual Georgia football member. he simply broadcasted. it isn't larry's fault your favorite school has been the University of Georgia's punching bag for it's history. it isn't larry's fault your school is mostly male. it isn't larry's fault all your students get the shite beat out of them downtown so much so that ATL PD has to cruise around constantly. it isn't larry's fault they stopped making Zima. it isn't larry's fault that dragon con isn't 24/7, 365. it isn't larry's fault for the state of tech program. this would be like Wes Durham dying and Georgia fans booing his tribute, except it's worse in Larry's case because Wes has yet to reach that level.

all the classy tech guys i knew were mortified, the rest were trash. i hope good sir that you aren't one of those who deep down found it perfectly ok for such an insidious act happen. you don't have to like larry, you just have to be a person and realize there is a time and place. we've taken jabs at each other before but all the tech guys i know on TD are decent guys, don't tell me you actually had me wrong and you actually laud your student sections insidious action

why are you talking abut USC getting a title and having it vacated?

They are in the Pac 12, not the Big 10.

Academies can't recruit 4.4 wideouts. You can win with less talent by running the Triple O and being smart.

Because I posted awarded and not recognized, which would mean GA Tech's title was among the last 21 awarded, not 20 awarded.

Sounds like your hatred of GT is clouding the truth. This statement right here shows that you know your fanbase would do the same thing.

Army? Navy?


I personally don't think Army or Navy should be in the FBS. They could drop down a level, have a ton more sucess and still play FBS teams on occasion. The Army/Navy game would still be a huge deal and televised (ala Southern/Grambling). It just tears me up watching those teams get tore up by football factories cause they have unfair restrictions.

that's absolute horse shite. me saying munson is different than spurrier is my admittance that Georgia fans would disrespect spurrier? bullshite, all that means is that they are different people and their situation is different.

Spurrier has long been the bane of Georgia and has often prodded at Georgia whether it was mocking our coach Ray "Goof" or running a double reverse pass with 1:21 left just so he could be the first to score 50 on Georgia in athens. all munson ever did was announce the games and i cannot even remember him ever putting Georgia Tech down, even though he had every right to and the vocabulary to make it outstanding.

My point? Larry Munson was a broadcaster who did nothing but deliver the game from his booth. Spurrier actually did things to Georgia when he was coaching AND playing. so no, they are nothing at all alike. I'll even go as far to say that whenever Spurrier dies and if it is right before a Georgia vs USCe or UF game and they wanna do something at half that our fans wouldn't do anything. maybe we are used to being in the spotlight unlike GT but I don't see them doing a damn thing.

but why am i even going that far? how is "well, idk man, UGA would probably do the same thing ya know?" supposed to be a defense worth a shite? Georgia fans could make have made fun of katrina, the tornados in tuscaloosa, the arkansas player dying etc but you know what they all have in common? they are all subjective/hypothetical horse shite that we never did do but we could have done or could do in the future. what georgia tech did actually happened. so defending it with hypotheticals that aren't even good representations of the situation is just pure and utter dip shittery at it's finest
