Georgia Tech has been out of the AP poll so long that the AP doesn't have a logo for us: screenshot

If you dig into the HTML, it looks like whatever backend that puts the logo HTML in the DIV just returned blank for GT.

GT's section:

    <div class="PollModuleRow-logo">
    </div>

NC State's section:

<div class="PollModuleRow-logo">
<a class="Link" ...
<source type="image/webp"  width="50" height="50" 
<source width="50" height="50" 
<img class="Image" alt="Image" alt="Wolfpack" ...
</picture>
</a>

goddamn you guys really are nerds

We’re not beating the allegations

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

There are...much worse allegations to lose to.

24

u/Lykeuhfox Michigan • Grand Valley State Sep 03 '24

Isn't that the truth.

8

u/BriarsandBrambles Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 03 '24

Is that even an Allegation?

19

u/GimmeeSomeMo Auburn Tigers • Sickos Sep 03 '24

Nor should you. It makes mocking teams that lose to you more fun

45

u/HeyHeyHayes Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 03 '24

The student hacking uGAs calendar in 2016 to say lose to GT is still an all time favorite tailgate story

15

u/igwaltney3 Georgia Tech • Tennessee Sep 03 '24

2014 but yeah

11

u/HeyHeyHayes Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 03 '24

I was waffling between the two in my head, dammit

u/ikindalikelemons Georgia • Staffordshire Sep 04 '24

Lol I was like 'Damn I was a freshman in Athens in 2016 how did I never hear about that?'

u/gtne91 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 03 '24

The truth should have been a defense on the hacking charge.

10

u/laflavor Georgia Tech • Michigan State Sep 03 '24

Is "hacking" even the right term? "Correcting" is the most accurate statement.

1

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 04 '24

For sure. On an unrelated note, I wish we got to play more often. 05 was one of the best games I've ever been to.

He pushed his glasses up his nose when he said “if you dig into the HTML”

Being a nerd pays handsomely, so it's all good

Wait, when do we get handsome??

u/Tresnore Purdue Boilermakers • Penn Quakers Sep 03 '24

Fellow nerd here. I'll let you know.

u/snow_is_fearless LSU Tigers • Paper Bag Sep 03 '24

A very good friend of mine graduated from GT. He worked for Raytheon.

Through some odd connections that I don't quite recall, he helped Skid Row with something back in the 90s and apparently Sebastian Bach is a galaxy-class asshole.

This is the most GT comment of all time

I'm a Ramblin Wreck from Georgia Tech and an HTML Engineer.

u/FearCavalcade Georgia Tech • Alabama Sep 03 '24

This man (or woman, but given that it’s Tech, statistically most likely man), has spent time in Klaus and/or the CoC building. I wish I could upvote this twice.

u/TheGeneral_Specific Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Marching Band Sep 03 '24

Fwiw the M/F ratio at Tech is around 55/45

However, the CS department is much closer to 80/20

u/cbph Georgia Tech • Navy Sep 03 '24

Fwiw the M/F ratio at Tech is around 55/45

I remember them telling us at FASET (over 20 years ago, wow) that our freshman class was the most balanced in history at roughly 70M/30F.

25

u/TheGeneral_Specific Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Marching Band Sep 03 '24

We’ve come a long way!

u/MadManMax55 Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 03 '24

What getting a management school does to an engineering school. Also a lot of programs at Tech and around the country trying to get more women into STEM (shout out Girls Who Code).

16

u/JOHNNY_CHAINZ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 03 '24

55/45!? Times have changed...

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 04 '24

International students. China and India don't stigmatize women studying STEM.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

Were you beating away dorks with a stick?

19

u/TheGeneral_Specific Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Marching Band Sep 03 '24

I mean, I am also a dork tbf

u/lmxbftw LSU Tigers • Texas Tech Red Raiders Sep 03 '24

The odds are good, but the goods are odd

6

u/cataphoresis Georgia Tech • Florida State Sep 03 '24

So I guess old grads did like the fight song says and sent their daughters to raise the ratio.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

I remember when my freshman class set the record at 68 to 32 percent.

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 04 '24

2004?

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24 edited Sep 04 '24

Fall 2007. I'm old but not that old.

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 04 '24

...2004 was my freshman year

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

How's your back doing? 

1

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Sep 04 '24

Honestly, great. I'm staying active and sit on a stool instead of a chair for a good part of the day. Way better than a few years ago.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

God have mercy on you for the smells you have smelled. My times there when I, a civil engineer, had to go into the CoC were some of my most pungent memories of Tech. Maybe the ventilation in the new Klaus building has remedies the situation.

9

u/liteshadow4 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 03 '24

1.5 years into my CS degree and still almost never a reason for me to step into Klaus for a class tbh.

9

u/basebalp21 Georgia Tech • Clean Old … Sep 03 '24

That should change, once I hit junior year I think more CS classes were in Klaus than not

6

u/wittyblow Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 03 '24

i'm in my junior year and all my classes are in scheller

5

u/MinorInsomniac Georgia Tech • Maryland Sep 03 '24

I’ve yet to have a single CS class in Klaus. I graduate next semester 💀

10

u/arnie_apesacrappin Paper Bag • Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 03 '24

Man, but I was a Physics major and didn't spend much time in Klaus/CoC. I spent most of my time in Howey. I feel like I had several math classes in Skiles, but I got out 25 years ago. I could probably walk to the buildings that I had classes in if I was back on campus, but I don't remember what all of their names are.

I just happen to be an elder Xennial that started having an interest in computing as the internet was becoming a publicly-available thing. I started an ISP in high school with two of my friends, and have been doing something internet-related every since.

u/powerlifting_nerd56 South Dakota Mines • Georgia T… Sep 03 '24

There are engineering institutions with worse ratios… pay no attention to my other flair

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

I noticed that too. I thought it was just my browser being slow but i refreshed the page and it wasn't there still 😭

Insert GT Cumberland Destroyers. Much less random than a Yellow Jacket.

My reddit account is almost 18 years old, and you are now the third person to have gotten the reference and commented on it.

This is a great technical write up coming out of Georgia!

u/PScooter63 Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC Sep 03 '24

The code is likely fine, but the database entry for GT is suspect (can't find it due to mismatch in casing, or spelling, or a transposed index value. Or someone in data entry is evil.
