With the game coming up, I thought I would repost this.
Pretty weak reasons if you ask me...

i got so much "what the heck is a hokie?" in columbus a few weeks ago.
and i was just like "come on now, your mascot is a nut. an inanimate object."
A poisonous one, at that. It's not even a delicious nut.
Do nuts ever taste good?
Some of them.
deeezzzz nutttzzz!
Sheesh AMB keep it in your pants
What?? I can't play along?? LOL
That's what she said?
The proper response was "The team that is winning"
and when they tied the game the response was "Do they not teach math in Ohio? You haven't led this thing once today. Maybe they were too busy teaching everyone how to spell the name of the state...O...H...I...O, now again"
I went to the Saint Louis U. vs VT soccer game a couple weeks ago and got the same thing.
SLU's mascot is a Billiken, whatever that is...
That sounds like a sweet name for a Hobbit.

Pretty freaky background information on the Billiken
i thought it was decided the best response to this was "the key to your mom's room"?!
Immediately made me think of this movie.
Yea... they can think whatever. We beat them
My dislike for GT grows stronger and stronger with each passing year. Other than LOLUVA, they have to be the most smug school we play.
Have you spoken to a Miami fan?
No one has. They don't exist.
I heard they have some fan's but you certainly won't find them at the stadium...
Only on the internet, never met one in person, I do not think they actually exists outside a keyboard.
I bet he knew Manti Te'o's girlfriend, too.
I tried adopting GT as my "second" team after moving to Atlanta following graduation from VT, but was never able to get past the attitude of their fanbase enough to actually root for them...and that was back when they had Joe Hamilton (someone who was very easy to root for).
Why would you even attempt to punish yourself like that?
the years are the only thing that pass in Georgia Tech
Want to hate on your opponents for really petty and crappy reasons? YOURE AT GEORGIA TECH YOU CAN DO THAT!!!!
Seriously I could write a 50x better article and I only need two pictures of two people to explain WHY I hate GT
lammmme
seriously he just has the creepiest face
Chop block o clock here we go!
Counter list, point for point
10- why do you have a yellow jacket AND a gold jalopy for mascots? If you're such good engineers, shouldn't the rambling wreck be the cruisin corvette or something?
9- GIT. Nuff said.
8- Ok, we'll just kick your ass in your own jerseys
7- Tech triumph only gets old if you aren't a hokie and have to hear it too many times in a row. And that only happens if we're scoring incessantly on you... oh wait, now I know why you have a problem with it.
6- posted without comment
5- Key jingling is necessary to loosen up the muscles for the inevitable "block that kick" dance that will ensue when we stuff your 1930's offense on third and long. EDIT-or we can just have a Fuller leap over your offensive line and take the ball right out of your hands and skip the whole ordeal.
4- True, the ramblin' GITs do have 4 national titles to their name. The most recent coming while maps still showed USSR across all of northern Asia (1990). And the one before that? Well, we deeply entrenched in a seemingly unwinnable war...in Korea.
3- 2004? You'll have to remind me which season that was. Is that the one where you lost to UNC, Miami, LOLUVa, Georgia AND us? It's so hard to keep track of which of your mediocre seasons is which.
2- this guy has clearly never seen the high techs do the hokie pokie.
1-
Seriously though. The guy who wrote that article is the epitome of the dipshit nerd (thanks, atlHOkie). Cant wait to be there in person for the ass-whooping due to CPJ and the bees.
HEY! I coined dipshit nerd! HA!
I was referring to that post. perhaps I shall cite you.
My own responses:
10 - At least our mascot looks cool.
9 - Really? Our name? This is a thing? Are they still living in 1974?
8 - At least our color scheme is unique. You see the orange and maroon together and you know who's beating you down. And they only hate that uniform because we beat them while wearing it.
7 - I'm thinking they got TT mixed up with the new year's eve rip off song up in C-ville.
6 - They're just mad that our intro is cooler than theirs.
5 - At least we change up what we do during games. Or would they rather go down to FSU and hear the same tomahawk chop every play for four hours?
4 - We may not have the big one, but every championship that we have earned, we have kept. GT, where's that ACC championship from 2009?
3 - 2004: You can't bitch about our bowl performance in a season where you were up by eight points with less than six minutes in the game AT HOME, and then let us score more points in the last six minutes than you scored in the entire game.
2 and 1 - I'll refer to Hokie07ME.
New rebuttal to #1: Jonathan Dwyer.
googled that. wow. Headbutting your wife because she doesn't want to have sex? Class act that one. Well, if she didn't have a head ache before...
The number 1 reason GT hates VT is that the Hokies are in the same coastal division and is whooping them almost every year and preventing them from going to the ACC Championship game.
Reasons to hate us: their mascot is a bug. Ours is kind-of-sort-of-not-really a hybrid bird. Birds eat bugs.
jim appears to be cosplaying a GiT student there.
It's a social commentary.
Real talk. Can we talk about the top ten reasons why websites predicated on slideshows suck?
I hated the slides way more than any of the words on them.
right? and half the time one of the slides is an advertisement. grinds my gearz.
You can use this nifty De-Slide-ifier tool to make it a little bit better.
+1
Really?
Like who said 'slide shows are so efficient and people really like to sit through them.....let's go back in time and take this 2010+ technology and create internet slide shows?'
Wait a sec, maybe these dipshit nerds:
EDIT: Look at the guy 1st row on the left-he can't even commit to full nerd-'I'll wear the crazy hair hat, but I won't do the yellow spandex shirt-too crazy cool for me, no thank you.'
The genius who realized that you can get a new ad impression or accidental click for each slide. Terrible for the leader, great for ad revenue.
What a horrible attempt. Not much else to say about that.
I don't get the loud then soft then loud criticism of Tech Triumph. The only time the volume changes is during the point after . . . like every fight song.
I remember that! The first down vote I ever gave was for that.....ahh, memories.
I'd be upset too if I went to school in the middle of Atlanta that was 68% male.
Another mining engineer! Greetings!
May as well have gone to Morehouse. (However, Spelman is right across the street, so that's ok.)
Reason to hate Georgia Tech, 2:8 girls to guys ratio!
Maybe I'm just tired but reading that was a huge waste of my time. I normally enjoy hate articles because they make me laugh but it feels as if it was written by a child. I mean really. This was THE most unoriginal thing I have read in god knows how long and to top it off it seems to me that he is trying to be funny. WTF!! Someone please tell me that better stuff comes out of GT.
Why would they use as a video to show how "stupid" Enter Sandman is, where the TV announcers are commenting how crazy Lane is getting while listening to said song?
I posted it before, but I'll post it again for a refresher. This is why GT should hate VT:
#7- We broke Joshua Nesbit's Arm:
#6- Late hit on Tyrod Taylor leads to game winning drive
#5- We complained about chop blocks:
#4- Logan's Run
#3- We came in and became the real "Tech" worth talking about in the ACC
#2- Bryan Randall's Rally (2004) - after trailing in the 4th quarter, Bryan Randall exploded for 2 TD's and a Roland Minor pick 6 in Atlanta turned the game into a blow out
#1- Sean Glennon Beats GT wearing one of their jerseys:
#7 Joshua Nesbitt broke Joshua Nesbitt's arm when he tried to arm-tackle at knee level.
If this isn't my wife's favorite Hokie moment, it's definitely the one she brings up the most.
This dude doesn't like yellow jackets, either (some NSFW language); can't argue with the results
Gosh, I hope we beat these clowns by a million.
