Mission three: it’s all about recruiting

Tech sits in the middle of the biggest city in the greatest recruiting territory on the country. Without the Junkyard Dawg clawing at Tech every year, the Tech talent pool increases. The practical effect of dropping Tech would soon grow from one sure win a year to two, close losses eventually swing in Tech’s favor, and a championship will follow.  Give Tech a championship to go with an address in the best football recruiting metropolitan area in the country, and the life of every Bulldog becomes miserable.

It’s  not a choice

Can a Bulldog really abdicate responsibility for stopping Tech? It is not a choice. It’s a calling and a responsibility. No other team can be relied on to stop the wretched Tech faithful from shouting, “No! WE run this state.”

On principle, can Georgia football players, of all Bulldogs, be denied the life changing opportunity to beat Tech? Consider Jonathan Wyatt without his blast over the Russ Chandler wall, or Charlie Ward  without dropping to his knees after sinking the biggest shot of his life in the Omni. Would a Bulldog deny these moments to Georgia football players?

Would you be happy with only the memory of Theron Sapp, but no future bee killing heroes?

Did you have enough fun with Reggie Ball?

Have you had enough revenge for John Dewberry’s hedge mangling?

Years after Buck Belue’s pass and pitch to Amp Arnold in 1978 to beat the Jackets in the greatest football game ever played in the state of Georgia, Buck Belue’s asked, “How do you describe it?”

You don’t describe it, you do it again.
