Every year we square off against the "Smuggiest" team in the ACC for the right to be known as "Tech". It's always a dog-fight and sometimes it get's chippy. Personally I can't stand the bumble bees and their smug coach. Especially knowing we will most likely have an injured D-lineman or Linebacker thanks to their stupid blocking scheme.
So why do you despise Gah-Tech?

CHOP BLOCKS
Polyteching >> Single Teching
1. They think it's funny to call us VIPI SU. Cool, bro.
2. "Allll the wayyy turrrnnned up" is embedded in my brain from their stadium and it makes me want to hulk smash.
3. I got spit on by one of their fans in 2009.
4. Chop blocks.
What's with the extra I?
It's referring to how they say "Vippy Sue" I believe
Exactly.
The 2009 loss is reason enough for me to hate them. Just like the 2007 loss to BC. I'm also fairly certain that Bud vowed "Never Again!" would he let GT beat us with that offense!
They stole a letter from the Lane Stadium sign.
I can't remember which one it was, but I remember some girl tweeting that they took a letter but didn't leave Blacksburg with the W.
It was the T. They steal the T at schools they visit. Harmless prank.
Kleptos! Funny how stealing stuff hasn't really worked out for them.
Hahaha, that was a great game. Leg!
And then Glennon destroyed them.
If only Georgia had stolen our jerseys....
But yes - great game that game!
It was a little disturbing that they blacked out the Russell logo and drew on a Nike swoosh. Shows how money has too much influence in the college game.
Pretty sure that was a contract requirement between us and Nike.
This was Halloween night, if I remember correctly. I thought it was funny that Glennon was beating the bees in his own jersey.
SARCASM ALERT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DO APPRECIATE AND LIKE SEAN GLENNON
But finally, when he was throwing the ball to the guys in the other jerseys, it counted as a completion
End sarcasm
Chop Blocks and more chop blocks.
Yeah, we're so banged up after we play them, just hate their style of play. Plus, they suck when they play a team with a good D. Oh, you already know this. Sorry.
gimmicky/dog crap/busch league offense. get rid of that (i.e. CPJ) and i'll go back to being indifferent.
But guys, "if you want to chop block . . . you're at Georgia Tech . . . you can do that!"
All kidding aside, I am not a fan of their offense, but really don't mind playing them, just wish that they would beat UGA every once and a while to help out the conference.
Because Georgia Tech is the world's largest collection of smug, dipshit nerds on the planet -- bar none. They have the capacity for taking the "morally-bankrupt shithead highground" that rivals only the smuggest of UVa fans. Couple that with the fact that approximately 80% of their campus/fanbase are complete toolbelts, and you have a rare and deadly combination of both annoying and smug. And as we all know: annoying + smug = dipshit nerd.
For example:
I was at GT/GSU this past Saturday (Mrs. atlHOkie is a GSU grad). GSU nearly beat GT if it not for a late GSU fumble as they were driving to put the game away. As such, I figured that it would be a pretty quiet walk back to the car as GT was seriously this close to losing to a school they taunt as being both academically and athletically inferior. Yet, just like clockwork, we weren't halfway out of the stadium before I heard the typical GT mating call of a complete dipshit nerdguy telling his obvious mail-order bride about how great GT is compared to all other schools, especially GSU. A couple moments later, the guy turned around to talk shit to my wife about how she picked the wrong school to attend. I informed him that I was a Hokie, and that Hokies don't talk shit to women but that he could talk shit to me instead. Of course he went about trying to goad Mrs. atlHOkie into biting on his nerd tactics...it didn't work because Mrs. atlHOkie is smart and this guy is, like their entire fanbase, a dipshit nerd.
Again, they're a fine institution in a great city and all that. Yet, the entire school/fanbase is full of dipshit nerdguys. And that, it why I despise the other Tech.
Thanks,
atlHOkie
I really like your frequent use of dipshit nerd. Think I'm going to call all Gah Tech fans this from now on, especially since my brother-in-law is a "gt dipshit nerd"
tell us how you really feel
Hey atlHOkie, good to see another Hokie-GSU fan. I graduated from Virginia Tech and my husband and son are GSU alums. Hope this weekend is better for us. Last weekend was depressing.
Right back at ya! And welcome to TKP!
Thanks!
I gotta disagree with all their fans being awful. One of my best friends goes there. He let us stay at his frat house when my friends and I went to Atlanta for the Bama game.
One bad apple can ruin the bunch, however, one good apple can not improve the bunch.
Well yeah, but I'm saying I met a lot of cool people there.
CPJ. That is all.
Because even we think they are Nerds:
Honestly, all those chop blocks can get annoying, but I'm just going to sit back and laugh when CPJ gets fired and they try to transform all those players recruited for the option into a "normal" scheme.
Its been said, but I hate them for their stupid offense. Its good for a big/surprise win here and there (us in 09 - still hate that one- or Clemson in 2011). But they struggle out of conference, often losing bowl games (not that we can brag too much) and ooc matchups (1-12 their last 13 against Georgia). It should be a bit easier to recruit and field a normal team considering theyre in Atlanta, but that stupid offense prevents some talented players from going there. With some rhythm that offense can beat a good team but its usually in the acc. Just ends up hurting the perception of the conference. And I hate them for it because they chose to play this way
So, if I'm hearing you correctly, this is what you're trying to say to GiT:
1) Their middle-school offense. Seriously, the school my wife teaches that runs a semblance of that offense. A-back in motion, triple option run or (trick play) heave it deep and hope the 6'4" receiver gets it.
2) 2009 and Chopblockalypse.
3) The fact that I've been a student at UGA now for 4+ years and if I don't hate GT, they won't let me defend my dissertation next semester.
I scrolled through this thread specifically looking for a mention of the "Chopblockalypse". Thank you good sir.
Happy to oblige.
Because they think they are the MIT of the south
any fanbase where the students show up dressed like this draws my ire
but couple that with PJ's 1970s ass offense and its a game I've come to dread annually.
hahaha oh man this photo of them rushing the field satisfies so many of my GT stereo types!
-Loafers...
-Unbalanced...
-Large Cranium'd dudes in coats and ties...
-One girl...
-Pastel yellow
Excellent find!!!!
You notice that some dude is clearly getting a handful of boob on the only girl in that pic.
Just photoshop the yellow to orange, and that could be Charlottesville
The offense for one, but that's already been said a ton. I went with some friends to the '07 game in Atlanta when we waxed them (the Jerseygate game). Their fans sucked. They were heckling us like crazy in the stands and after the game there was one especially drunk dude trying to fight every Tech fan on the way out of the stadium all while yelling "Michael Vick!" at all of us. Thing is, I bet that dude loved Vick not long before he got into trouble and was on the Falcons.
Im a GT fan, and honestly i dont know any if us that just hate yall. VT plays great ball. Recruiting problems for us, btw, is the fact that we cant get any kind of "jock" courses. Apperently at Tech, athletics is lower on the totem poll. But, good luck Saturday. Best of luck
Rule #1 when talking about VT and GT at the same time: Don't use Tech by itself.
Especially when for the last four Tech Bowls, VT has earned the right be call Tech. You are GiT.
There, right there. It sounds almost friendly, but the veiled dickery comes through every time.
Truth be told, you guys' offensive system might be an even bigger reason why you don't get good recruits for that side of the ball.
Stanford also puts a bit of a dent in your "academics" rationale too...
First thing I thought of when I read that statement:
Translation: The only reason Virginia Tech recruit better than us is because VT apparently have lower academic standards. Disregard that less than 20% of the GT football team is majoring in a engineering/hard science, roughly the same at VT. Disregard that the VT's GSR is significantly higher than GT's.
I hate, hate, hate these arguments because they are so lazy. "Y'all always beat us because we have higher academic standards". First of all, Georgia Tech itself lists VT at a peer institution. Second of all, several programs in the past (Stanford, Notre Dame, Boston College, Michigan, Wisconsin off the top of my head) has had more sustainable success than GT yet have "the same or better academic standards" (and USNWR rankings aren't exactly the best indicator of academic standards...just ask UNC).
Much lower, apparently.
I see what you did there. I was thinking the same thing. :-)
I promised myself that whenever I down voted someone on this site I would let them know. You sir, have received one of the few down votes I have ever given for being such a, well, douchebag.
*crack knuckles in an exaggerated fashion
my first downvote (downvote cherry?) in 3...2...
i need a smoke.
^This guy. No, seriously.
Why do all the GiT people get off on talking about how tough all of their classes/curriculum(s) are? This is something I have heard from any person who went there. Hell, even from the tour guides when I visited there (and thank the lord I didn't attend GiT despite being offered). These guys are sounding like they deserve to be listed alongside UVA is the top douchiest colleges.
I didn't take any "cake courses" (#teamicecream) at VT and I'm sure it couldn't have been THAT much tougher there. College is all about learning to balance your personal life and professional responsibilities.
(I have no means ATM to make a meme but....)
If you want to go damn insane and work yourself to death, you're at Gah Tech, (apparently) YOU CAN DO THAT!
I believe the University of Georgia says it best in their fight song:
"To hell with Georgia Tech"
My bad, didnt mean to. Im used to calling them Tech instead of Georgia Tech. Seriously did not mean to offend yall
Because my office mate if from gt and if I have to listen to him rub a football victory in my face I will lose it. We also have a yearly rule where the last team to win a game (football or basketball) earns the right to call their school 'Tech' without the state identifier, so I really dont want to have to keep saying Virginia...
Also this
Georgia Tech, where Dude Soup is always on the menu!
Don't ever say or type that again. Ever. Again.
dude soup
Techmo Bowl was born from TKP inspired from a gif that Joe posted using the classic video game. Honestly, when I said it I was just trying to be clever. I had no more dislike for GT than I do for any other average opponent. I love rivalry names and I liked the idea of the two Tech schools battling for academic supremacy on the gridiron using a video game that would be identifiable to the types of students that go to Tech schools.
We won the first game and it was still just a clever term for our annual game, and then this happened:
CHOP BLOCK GATE
and everything changed.
From Coach Chin Balls:
and then flippantly dismissed the whole thing because it was in the past:
GT fans celebrated their illegal and dangerous style of play:
It's not that I want to win this game. I want to CRUSH them. I loathe GT on a WVU scale and every year anticipate this game to watch an epic ass kicking that I know the Hokies can give.
I watched with sheer giddiness when Kyle Fuller and Logan Thomas single handily blew up GT for 2 years. Spawning one of the greatest gifs ever created in the history of gif making.
There are teams I want to beat, teams I dislike, and then there are teams I want to humiliate. lolUVA, WVU, GT, and now sadly ECU all fall into this category.
At GT they can do a lot of things, but the best thing they can do is lose to the Hokies.
Don't forget BC.
Hey wait. Our schedule every year is now filled with....rivals?! And ECU is one of them!
It's as if we...fit...with our conference. And ECU. Dammit Weaves.
Don't look now but the following teams are all on our 2017 schedule:
WVU
ECU
BC
GT
UVA
UNC
Miami
Pitt
Clemson
We're not going to have hate week that year, we're going to have hate season.
so true. it's going to be a rough year on the nerves
Isn't every year rough on the nerves? I am worried about Pitt's rushing, BC rushing, GT throwing (gasp), UVA's defense, turnovers (way more than I thought at this point in the year). The only two games left where I think we have a clear advantage are directional michigan and Wake.
SSSHHHHH! don't tell my nerves that!..... Damn't, now they're already complaining
I hope we absolutely crush all of them. LOLUVA, WVU, GT, Miami, UNC, and Clemson in particular. Still can't wait to get revenge on Clemson.
I hate GT because the coach doesn't know what a freaking forward pass is. It's like he came to town and said, "well, I suck too much to play by your rules, so I'll play my own system because it's the only way I can have success." It worked for him for a couple of years as it caught everyone off guard. But now we're on to him, and so are the recruits who don't come to GT.
It's fine for Navy and the other military academies to run the option, because:
a.) it's their thing. and
b.) they are playing by different rules.
But, GT, you're an ACC school. You're in a power conference. If you want to throw the ball down the field instead of running side to side and around, YOU CAN DO THAT!
I love how Bud Foster's #1 goal in the summer is to come up with a new way to beat GT.
I also like the 2011 game...they almost had us beat, until their guy decided to punch Logan in the face, and from that point on, we just put a total beat down on them.
Same story happened when they shoved Tyrod on a late hit out of bounds that lead to a VT win.
Then, because they took our D-lines knees with chop blocks: we took Joshua Nesbitt's arm on an interception.
Damn near broke it clean off!!! (Ok I exaggerate.) I felt bad for the guy, but not for CPJ. It should have been his smug arm.
Wasn't that the game that DW returned a kick for td with like 1:20 left right after they scored to tie it?? That was the most awesome part.
When I went to Clemson freshman year I would refer to VT as "Tech" and everyone thought I was talking about GT. I didn't even like VT then (although I hated Clemson) and it still bugged me. Now that I go to the greatest university on Earth aka Virginia Tech aka Tech it annoys me to no end. To hell with Georgia Tech!
So I had a former co-worker (a WVU grad) who lived with her BF, a GT grad. She cheated on him relentlessly and they eventually broke up. My feelings towards GT are the same as they were towards that dude; I feel bad and just shake my head. I mean can you imagine being a geeky version of You!VA? I just can't muster up the hate because I already feel like they have enough going against them.
As for CPJ, eff that dude.
I worked with an ISE grad from GiT last summer. Pretty sure he was a space alien/has unexpectedly met Chris Hansen.
VPI 'til the day I die baby!
Honestly, I love these games. There is always drama in some form (punch, chopblockgate, kickoff return TD followed by INT in the endzone, missed FG to end the game, etc.), they always end close, and the teams walk away bruised and battered. That, IMO, is the definition of a rivalry game.
Plus the W's have felt good.
I hate that CPJ forces us to watch and our team defend against a high school offensive scheme.
I despise GT because of the fan in my section for the 2012 Labor Day game at Lane that went insane after they took the lead with around 1 minute to go. He was so certain that they had the game in hand that he decided to be as loud and obnoxious as one could possibly be without getting knocked out. Any time I think of that team, I think of him. A few minutes later, with a 0-1 team and a long drive awaiting him, he sat silent with his head between his legs while we all walked by and gave him our best wishes.
A close second would be Paul Johnson.
A close third would be that they are like UVa in that they can't ever win their in-state rivalry.
A close fourth would be Paul Johnson again.
Because of this guy...
YES! Fuck that guy!
How does this not have more legs yet?
