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.

Great web-site I enjoy reading it daily. Does anyone know where I can hear The Great Larry Munson call the Tony Taylor touchdown? I am sure that had to be one of the best....nothing beats a "hob-nail boot".
Actually it wasn't that memorable. Larry was as stunned and bemused as anyone. He just said that the ball slipped out and some Georgia player had picked it up and was trying to run with it. I think he expected the official to have already called the play dead or do so during the run. And then he said "and they're going to rule that a touchdown!" Nowhere near a great play call.
Anyone have a link to Munson's call of the winning TD catch by MoMass?
H3Y! Why pst s0 much H8?

There are several of his calls on that website.
Listen to Munson's call on larrymunson.com which has the last 20 minutes posted
maybe I'm missing some inside UGA joke (or maybe the blogger is really Stephon Marbury), but isn't it GIT, not GTU?
Patrick:
you've identified the source of the GTU reference. If it's good enough for one of the finest basketball players ever to matriculate as a GTU student athlete for almost a full quarter and a half, it's good enough for me.
Plus, like Joey says, it drives the nerds insane with fury. Which is just a bonus, if you ask me. The Hive PBM frequently features posts by nerds complaining of GTU references by retailers, media, etc. I just like knowing their little mustard colored panties get in a twist about it.
that's funny. I wish we had a rival of our own to hate. Notre Dame used to fill that void (partially I might add, since we've got nothing on the Clean Old Fashioned Hate or the Party), but they're phasing us out. My neighbor is a UGA grad so he's got me hooked on the Dawgs. Good luck in your bowl.
In the words of the immortal Lewis M. Grizzard Jr. (a great American), "tell it all brother, tell it all".
In 1992, Georgian Polytechnic Institute was renamed to Georgian Technical University.
I kid you not.

Doesn't say whether they did this in honor of Stephon Marbury.
With all their jolly good comrades, they drink their Vodka clear.
