If I were a Georgia Tech fan, I'd be feeling pretty darn good right now. Having lain waste to such dynamic, powerful squads such as Jacksonville State, Gardner-Webb, Duke (hypocrisy alert, but roll with me), Clemson playing with a coach who's been at the gig for a handful of days and Mississippi State, the Yellow Jackets have rambled to a healthy #18 ranking in the AP poll. You rarely see this sort of confidence exuded from GT without the usage of words like "pwn3d!" on "n00b."Combine that with one of the most frightening mascots and color schemes in all of sports, and you have the sort of muscle that can back up the "Real Men Don't Wear Orange" ticket plan offered by GT for their home games against Virginia and Miami, both teams who indeed feature an orange color scheme and in a manner also unlike that of GT, female fans. Can't hate on the joke, though- whatever it takes to fill up Bobby Dodd with something other than curious UGA onlookers who happen to be in the area.

Got any other Tech nerd cliches you want to throw out there? Come on, where are the jabs about going to the library instead of the game, playing WoW, studying for a degree instead of partying away?

You forgot the win over Boston College, and since this was posted, a win over FSU. Sure, Tech lost to top-20 UNC last week, but at a bowl-eligible 7-3, the "GT nation" isn't complaining. Especially when you remember that the Jackets were predicted to be downright awful this year.
If they can win this many games with an all-new offensive and defensive scheme, 16 underclass starters, and a dreadfully thin O-line, imagine what they'll do in a year or two!
