Joy in Muddville!
Hooray! Today is a day for rejoicing amongst all true Georgia Tech fans: our confounding starting quarterback has been named Academically Ineligible for the Gator Bowl! While most football fans (Oklahoma’s, for instance) might be distressed about losing their starting quarterback before the big game, please note that Reggie Ball has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns 3 of his 4 years starting for the Yellow Jackets. Additionally (to trot out the entire list of grievances), he is personally responsible for our last four losses to Georgia. He threw the ball away in the red zone as time expired against Georgia on fourth down (and then claimed the ref told him it was third down (I thought people at Tech were supposed to be smart)). His freshman year, he “left the game with a concussion” after punching an assistant coach on the Georgia sideline. Good riddance. I think Georgia Tech might be the only team in Division I-A that has a better shot at winning it’s bowl game (against the juggernaut that is West Virginia Mountaineer football, no less) without its starting quarterback.
