Dear GTU Seniors: The Drinks are on UGA

By 81Dog

In honor of what’s becoming an annual tradition, your humble correspondent would like to offer up a commemorative drink. The swallows return to Capistrano every spring, and the Yellow Jackets swallow their helmets, their gameplan, and their pride against UGA every fall.

Rumor has it that the US Naval Observatory is junking the atomic clock and simply calibrating their watches by the annual November meltdown imposed on the Mustard Nation by the Georgia Bulldogs.

With great pride, I would like to offer you, in honor of Reggie Ball and every GTU senior (and boy, have there been a lot of them) who ever pulled the Reverse 4-0 in Competitive Football versus UGA. I hear that GTU actually gives 4 hours of credit for that; I’m not sure if it makes the butt whoopin’ any easier to take, but that’s for others (perhaps the NCAA Enforcement staff) to decide:

Recipe for The Golden Sombrero

Start with four consecutive losses to the University of Georgia by a class at Georgia Tech University. This is the toughest part of the recipe, or at least, it used to be before Vince Dooley, Ray Goff (that’s right, nerds. I said it.Ray Goff OWNED your asses) and now, Mark Richt all came to town. Once you have the 4 Ls, the rest is easy. Just gather up the following:

1 1/2 shots tequila
1 1/2 shots Grand Marnier® golden liqueur
1 shot Rose's® lime juice
1 shot sweet and sour mix

Shake ingredients, and any midget GTU quarterbacks, running backs or future NFL All Pro Wrs, vigorously with crushed ice (to match the crushed hopes of GTU fans) in a shaker glass, and pour over crushed ice in a lightly salted margarita glass. Garnish with the bitter tears of GTU fans, and serve with a bagel to GTU football seniors.

While they normally claim to like their whiskey clear, getting your ass beat like you stole something every year by UGA is enough to make anyone associated with GTU a lot less picky about what they’ll accept in the way of memory numbing alcoholic relief. What the hell. It’s manlier than drinking Zima.

By the way, University of Georgia seniors don’t drink Golden Sombreros. They just serve them up with a smile.
