Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football
Over the span of 1892–1903, Tech only won 8 games, tied in 5, and lost 32. In 1893, Tech played against the University of Georgia for the first time. Tech defeated Georgia 28–6 for the school's first-ever victory. The angry Georgia fans threw stones and other debris at the Tech players during and after the game. The poor treatment of the Blacksmiths by the Georgia faithful gave birth to the rivalry now known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.
Traditions of the Georgia Institute of Technology
Georgia Tech has an ongoing rivalry with the University of Georgia, often simply called ""georgia"" for short. The rivalry was called Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate by Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist and UGA supporter, Lewis Grizzard. An annual issue of the Institute newspaper, "The Technique", focuses on this rivalry with an issue that spoofs "The Red and Black", the newspaper of the University of Georgia. As a dig at the rival school, the "Technique" will typically refer to it as "the university (sic) of Georgia" (sometimes shortened to "u(sic)GA") in articles. "To Hell With Georgia" (abbreviated "THWG" or "THWUGA"or "THWg") is also known as "The Good Word." In 2009, the Georgia Tech Cable Network (GTCN), produced a show, about the history of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate 'To Hell With Georgia'. If one student asks the word from another ("What's the Good Word?"), the response is always "To Hell with georgia!" If asked about the Bulldogs ("How 'bout them Dawgs?"), an old tagline from the "University of Georgia" expression, the correct answer is, "Piss on 'em!"
