I realize most of you guys are either GT students or GT fans, but for those of you who aren't, is anyone going to the UGA season opener this weekend? I went to Georgia Southern so I feel somewhat obliged, especially since I am a fan of both football programs. If anyone is going, do you have a spare ticket? I'm looking to spend under $50. If not I will probably just wait outside the gates and buy one from a scalper for $10 after the game has already started. And for you GT guys, anyone have tickets to the GT v. UGA game? I am interested in going to that as well this year. Thanks in advance, -Jake
I'll be tailgating in Athens (even though I am in fact a Tech fan). I just like to party. But sorry, no tickets.
GT vs UGA is in Athens this year...it'll be a lot easier finding a ticket up there than it will here in Atlanta. I'd like to go, too, even though I can only see things ending badly for us. Anywho - for all the Tech fans out there, know what today is? GAMEDAY :ddirty::ddirty::ddirty::ddirty::ddirty: :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
if we loose today. i won't watch any more games.....freakin jacksonvill..we better win. chan isn't here and reggie isn't here so I'd expect at least a less frustrating game.
Yeah... you do know that JSU has an ex-LSU quarterback right? Yeah, Ryan Perrilloux. Granted he was a back up quarterback but he started the SEC championship game last year AND LSU did happen to win the National Championship. Could be interesting. Win or lose, its still not Chan. So I am frikkin excited. :ddirty:

Hey, c'mon give me a break. I am an Alumni for crying out loud, lol! I wish I could go to the game, but as usual I am going to miss it. I do plan to go to alot of the home games in Statesboro though. I am planning to buy field level seats for the game next year if the play again (which they should). Go EAGLES, peck the DAWGS eyes out and feed them to the babies!
I thought I recognized you, but wasn't sure until I saw your car outside A few of us will be at Rocky Mountain if youre not going to the game tonight
