Georgia Tech vs. Utah: Welcome to Frisco!
Day 1: By Calvin Johnson

Mission Accomplished!
I couldn't be more thrilled with San Francisco. Reggie says that this beats the pants off of Boise, Idaho. Up there, they only fed the guys potatoes for three meals a day. Here we get all-you-can eat shrimps at this place called Fisherman’s Wharf. Shrimp are my favorite fish.
I'm really looking forward to this game. I think having the home field advantage is going to be really helpful for us. I mean it isn't Bobby Dodd Stadium, but the Yellow Jackets were made for a game like this. Big city. Lots of Noise. Tons of Traffic. Aggressive bums everywhere. Loose women with a variety of cold sores. We fit in here.
Secondly, it's a big advantage for the coaches to be here. Apparently, they are doing some heavy recruiting over in some area called Castro. That may bee a secret. I only know about it because I heard Coach Nix say he's going to spend some time there looking at tight ends over there. Awesome! Can't beat a tight end.
I think Coach Nix and the Tech Band Director will be recruiting together. I over heard something about "the search for another flag boy."

During roster call, they gave us our bowl gifts which included a wax bust of Jackie Chan's head, a jar of collectible Sea Gull poop from the Golden Gate Bridge, 2 cans of Emerald Nuts Cashews and a Special Edition "Re-Take The Rock: Alcatrax Indians 4 Life T-shirt." In a word -- Jacketastic.
At this same meeting, Coach Gailey told us that we will be playing the game in a baseball stadium. At first, I was really freaked out because I didn't bring my baseball glove. Reggie tried to settle me down, and he explained that we won't be using gloves. No GLOVES? Is he serious? I'm the only guy on this team that can catch to start with, and playing baseball without a glove is going to be tough for even me. I hope the Utah guys didn't pack their gloves either.
Otherwise, things are looking great, and I'm feeling JACKET! Tell everyone back in the Great State of Atlanta that I said hello.
Love,
Calvin

Another gem, WesterMAN! I f'ing hate GT! "Shrimps are definately my favorite fish too"! GATA!
think a trip to see Brokeback Mountain at a theater in the Castro Neighborhood might be on the agenda for the week?
ovejmfhnThis literary piece of trash really sucks.
Ed, Die-Hard Tech Fan
You forgot the the Nut Bowl Song...
(Let's sing along!)
We could while away the hours
Beneath Atlanta’s towers
Upon a Marta train.
And our heads, we'd be scratchin'
While those cheatin’ schemes were hatchin'
If we only had a Braine.
Our life would be a riddle
We would easily belittle
A Tiger or a Cane.
All the while we’d be thinkin'
How the next week we’d be stinkin’
If we only had a Braine.
Then I could tell you why
Our coach can’t count to four.
Is this the year he’s finally shown the door?
And why our Braine ... gives him four more?
Six years reduced to nothin'
Ain’t even worth discussin'
Our hearts relieved of pain.
We can dance and be merry
Painted like a yellow fairy
If we only had a Braine!
I'm a Tech fan and I read this site. Usually it's pretty funny even when it's ripping Tech. I even got a chuckle from the "51, 2, 7" image of the 3 Tech players and the rip off of the cover of "Friday Night Lights."
This is pretty weak though.
Nice writeup PWD - I'm a UGA grad living in SF, and just FYI: locals do NOT call it "Frisco", they rather dislike that term.
go ahead and kick us, we deserve it..
but as i have always said..as soon as we get a "sports study" major, or maybe "sports study engineering" we will be able to compete with Ga in recruiting...and hopefully on the field..
tech class of 70
