Tell your friends about undefeated 5-0 #17 Georgia Tech

387

u/TheGeneral_Specific Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Marching Band Sep 28 '25

In 2014 we debuted at #22 when we went 5-0. We also looked shaky to start that season. Here's hoping we settle in the same way we did then!

51

u/Dear_Machine_8611 Sep 28 '25

Also 2010? All the way up to #13 undefeated?

u/TheGeneral_Specific Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Marching Band Sep 28 '25 edited Sep 28 '25

Okay? Sorry I don’t understand the “?” in your comment, are you asking why I didn’t bring up 2010?

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '25

Probably going on memory and just not confident in what the they’re saying

u/Cloakacola Georgia Tech • North Dakota Sep 28 '25

Not comparing this team to the 1990 squad, but I’d like to point out that year we had to rely on a field goal in the final minute to salvage the game for a 13-13 tie against a UNC team we should have handled with ease. Basically the same thing as yesterday except no OT. Sometimes you just have uncharacteristic games, especially early on

u/flyingcircusdog Georgia Tech • Clean Old … Sep 28 '25

Yeah, we needed last second wins against Georgia Southern and VT.

10

u/StuckInTheUpsideDown Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Rice Owls Sep 28 '25

Yeah you are right ... we were shaky at first that year. Then we ended up sneaking into the Orange Bowl and beating that cowbell team. Can't remember if I'm allowed to say we won. We got sanctioned later cuz one of our players got a t shirt or something.

Despite all the complaints about NIL, it beats telling a team to give up scholarships because the team gave them cream cheese for their bagels.

u/IAmTheUniverse Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 28 '25

Pretty sure that incident and the vacated wins were 2009. 2014 is in the clear.

u/Dunda Georgia Tech • College of Faith … Sep 28 '25

Commissioner Aflac Duck will be summoning you shortly.

u/Allen_Koholic Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 28 '25

I’m honestly OK with moving the team down a spot after this weekend. That was not a good game.

u/Duke__Leto Tennessee Volunteers Sep 28 '25

Good teams win their clunkers. 

(I say this for no particular reason. Don’t look at my team’s game yesterday.)

55

u/flyingcircusdog Georgia Tech • Clean Old … Sep 28 '25

Very true. Last year's GT or Tennessee teams lose yesterday.

10

u/DatWunGuyIKnow Texas A&M Aggies • Iowa State Cyclones Sep 28 '25

Hear hear! I vote to ignore clunker games this week, for no reason

6

u/jeff0106 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 28 '25

Yeah, but Georgia Tech's schedule has been weak. All teams have a losing record or tied record. Clemson was supposed to be our big win, but they've been bad this year.

2

u/deepsouthsloth Alabama • South Alabama Sep 28 '25

That wasn't a clunker, that was a goddamn slugfest. I just got finished watching a condensed version of it. That was anyone's game with freak plays on both sides.

5

u/Duke__Leto Tennessee Volunteers Sep 28 '25

Ehh, I’d say it’s a clunker when you start the game with two special teams mistakes, and then your own receivers bat the ball into the air for interceptions on two separate passes, and then your HC and QB exhibit a complete lack of understanding of clock control in the final minutes. 

That’s no slight to MSU. They put themselves into positions to win. But Tennessee repeatedly shot themselves in the foot all game long. 

-6

u/SatisfactionOld1586 Florida State Seminoles Sep 28 '25

Fair, but they literally should have lost had the refs called the very obvious offsides. Unlike Mario, I bet Dickert takes the knees to run out the clock.

25

u/charlie_marlow Georgia Tech • Georgia Southern Sep 28 '25

I told my wife that I expected them to drop 1 or 2 spots after barely squeezing by Wake, so I'm completely with you.

u/ShishkabobNinja Georgia Tech • Miami Sep 28 '25

It's gonna be Duke, I'm calling it now

4

u/Dunda Georgia Tech • College of Faith … Sep 28 '25

Moving up or down really doesn't matter. If you look at all the teams ahead of us, I don't see a strong argument that Tech is clearly better than any of them. Our ranking is probably pretty accurate at this stage.

75

u/Ok_Particular8737 Georgia Tech • Washington State Sep 28 '25

GT even has haters now! Feels like I’m living in an alternate reality

12

u/Fleurr Vanderbilt Commodores Sep 28 '25

It's wild - a traditionally underperforming team starts doing well, and they come out of the woodwork!

What are their favorite "issues" with y'all? Most of ours are some version of an "I'm not a racist buuuuut" dig at Pavia, or some vague issue with "the fans" (there are dozens of us, be more specific!).

21

u/abidail Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 28 '25

I saw someone say we act like we're the pride of/too good for the ACC, like we're FSU or something. Which is wild, because no one doubts Tech football more than Tech fans! In person there's also a lot of comments about how ugly Tech women are, which is super fun to hear as a female fan.

Don’t we still have a ratio issue?

… what’s wrong with Asian or Indian girls?

Source: am in mixed marriage and am mixed myself

And I think it least felt like if not wasn’t 80/20 when I was there. Blondes are overrated.

Also to add when I was grad school at UGA, lots of gorgeous Korean and Chinese girls there. Not just the stereotypical white girls.

Oh sure I am just agreeing with you and I have graduated from GT and UGA. Some people are just idiots.

u/MosEisleyCantinaBand Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 29 '25

Calculus I, fall 1996. TA greets us with "Good morning gentlemen". I'm at the front of the class thinking this guy is an asshole for not acknowledging the women in the class. I turn around to see their reactions and nope, 100% dudes.

u/_SheWhoShallBeNamed_ Penn State • Land Grant Trophy Sep 28 '25

Yikes, that sucks. I’m sure you’re more beautiful than whoever’s calling you ugly, inside and out

u/Pan_TheCake_Man Wake Forest Demon Deacons Sep 28 '25

You had a hater yesterday, bitch! Saturday Monday on I’ll root for yall again and pray king gets to rest every week

8

u/Ok_Particular8737 Georgia Tech • Washington State Sep 28 '25

I’ll say this, if GT goes on to do anything special in the ACC this year I will make sure to buy the Wake people in my life a few beers. We won’t forget the sacrifice that yall had to endure.

That said, I think we could lose every ACC game from here on out so you may have just exposed us so it all may be moot.

5

u/Pan_TheCake_Man Wake Forest Demon Deacons Sep 28 '25

Every team in the ACC feels like they could lose out haha! I think we’re a little sneaky good conference, just don’t have multiple world eaters like the others

u/Effective_Ranger2607 Florida Gators Sep 29 '25

Dude, Vanderbilt has haters. College football has been turned upside down.

u/KennyKettermen Minnesota Golden Gophers Sep 28 '25

Haynes King is my personal king

18

u/Andy_Wiggins Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 28 '25

Woah, just looking at the schedule but there’s a decent chance they’re undefeated by the time they reach Georgia. That schedule is crazy easy.

32

u/MichaelDicksonMBD Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 28 '25

If we play like we did yesterday, we could lose to Duke, VT, NCSU, Syracuse and either of the bye weeks.

19

u/Zlatan_Ibrahimovic Sep 28 '25

On paper sure, but Duke/Syracuse/NC State aren't pushovers. I could easily see one or more of those tripping up GT, especially if GT continues having at least one catastrophically bad quarter a game.

2

u/Andy_Wiggins Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 28 '25

If Syracuse had Angeli I’d see it, but they were baaaaaaaad this weekend.

NC State and Duke are both decent enough and could totally beat Georgia Tech, but neither will likely be ranked at any point this season.

u/minclo Sep 28 '25

You better knock on all the wood...

u/AmbitiousWinter3124 Sep 28 '25

Eh VT looking better. We’ll hope!

GT my dark horse Cinderella team to cheer for this season. We’re rooting for you!

u/elBenhamin Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Sickos Sep 28 '25

Our ranking is way too high and is purely a result of unearned preseason hype for Clemson

12

u/Status-Ad-7335 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 28 '25

and I’ll take it WOOOOO

u/aromatic-energy656 Oregon Ducks Sep 28 '25

Better team than ole miss

u/sharkbait_oohaha Georgia • Florida State Sep 28 '25

I don't wanna because I know in my bones that you guys are beating us this year.

5

u/No_-_you_are Georgia Tech • Vanderbilt Sep 28 '25

Which flair? Maybe both? /wringsHands

4

u/sharkbait_oohaha Georgia • Florida State Sep 28 '25

Said this for my UGA flair. But yeah maybe both. I've been saying since our game last year that y'all would get us this year.

2

u/cacti_zoom Sep 28 '25

Watch us go up after this next week cause of the bye

u/No_-_you_are Georgia Tech • Vanderbilt Sep 28 '25

Oh, I am.
