TECH/ND TICKETS ARE ALMOST AS POPULAR AS CLOWNS GETTING CRUSHED

by Orson on Aug 30, 2006 1:04 PM EDT

The ND/Tech game here in Atlanta has filled the coffers at Tech unlike any home game in recent memory. Scalpers are pulling 200 bucks easy for the tickets, which judging from recent home interest in Chantastic! Tech football may be broken down thusly:

$1.25: cost of printing shiny ticket.

$3.25: actual interest in Georgia Tech football in Gailey era. (Mmm...pudding.)

$195.50: Holy shit Notre Dame!!! SCALP 'TIL YOUR ARMS FALL OFF!!!

This isn't surprising. Neither is the popularity of the story posted alongside the body of the online article, either. We've highlighted the piece we find most sidesplitting using the unstoppable power of Microsoft Paint:

We half expected the headline to continue..."and smile with glee."

Please, Lord.

Let those Techies put an end to all this ND Madness!

Question: If ND beats GT are they automatically this season’s Best Football Team in the History of Football…Eva?

At least as far as NBC and ESPN are concerned…or do Ohio St and Texas retain that tag…at least until their highly publicized game of the century (or GOTC as I always say)

In the media business don’t they call that a “segue”?

I think if ND makes it through September undefeated, they’ve got to be up there with the winner of the GOTC2006.

No we won’t be GOAT, because we’ll likly lose to Troy 2 weeks later.

I can’t figure out what the 2nd WTF loss will be…
and Yet I’ll be there for most of the games on my grad student salary…

Orson, do you have good seat for this game?

We’ll be watching Florida, Wooderson. Our seat is likely our couch.

If Tech tops ND, what proportion of ESPN-fed South Bend ass-slobbery transfers directly and effortlessly to Atlanta? (There’s a math property that describes this.) Or, even better, does it all just STOP?

Should be reprinted to say: Nerds Watch As Clown Quinn Is Crushed To Death.

I thought it read:

Nerds Watch as Clown Gailey Only Needs 4 to Go.

ATLANTA – “I knew I was good for the first loss of the season as soon as I saw Reggie (Ball) heave his 4th interception up in the air there in the 1st,” the Head Clown, er, Coach of the Yellow Jackets said following Saturday nights game versus #2 Notre Dame. “I figured if I played the ‘throw deep to Calvin every down’ strategy I might actually score, especially with those slow defenders in the Irish secondary. Who’s that number 9 kid anyway? Is he a freshman?”

The best part of this one is the AJC search engine, which allows you to search for articles “From 1985 to the Present” or from “1868 to 1929”. Did those years just not happen?
