Those words are excerpted from the Georgia Tech fight song. This is a very cool fight song, as it apparently has nothing to do with imploring the lads to great victory for good ol' GT. It's a song about drinking, screw the other state school and passing the bias on to the next generation.
This song is another reason to enjoy the ACC. That "screw everybody who ain't us" attitude. It's so...American, before we became PC. Hit the full screen icon when you play the song to make the words easier to read. Or squint, your call.
****Clemson @ Miami -5 LOSER
This was a terrific football game. When I picked it, I thought this could be a trap, and it was. Miami is as good as advertised. Clemson is waaaaay better than we knew. Clemson has a running back named C.J. Spiller who on Saturday was all world, amassing over 300 yards by himself between rushing, catching and returning kicks. The two teams traded scores back and forth like a couple of heavyweight fighters. Clemson forced overtime with a field goal that tied the game with :04 on the clock. On the first play of OT, Miami ran for 19 and it looked great for us, but they crapped and settled for a field goal. Clemson took its turn and was going backwards; it looked like they'd settle for three themselves when BAM! their kid QB rifled a 3rd down TD pass and our 4 stars vaporized. I shoulda taken Cincinnatti, who killed Louisville, just like they were supposed to.
***GA Tech -4 @ Virginia WINNER
GA Tech 34, Virginia 9
GT had the ball for almost 43 minutes, ground out 362 yards via the infantry and simply beat the crap out of Virginia. Domination for the Ramblin' Wreck of Georgia Tech, and money for the good guys (us!).
**Vanderbilt @ South Carolina -12½ LOSER
I thought the Gamecocks would come out blazing and never look back. Turns out they were grateful to get off the field a winner, 14-10. Vandy has become a be-otch to handicap.
*Iowa PK@ Michigan State WINNER
What a terrific football game, absolutely terrific football game. They beat the hell out of each other and went to the final minutes with Iowa leading, 3 field goals to 2. Michigan coach Mark Dantonio amazed the universe when he called the hook and ladder, a play that absolutely nobody was expecting. Shortly thereafter, Sparty rang up the touchdown and Michigan State lead 13-9 going into the final minute. Iowa ripped downfield and had four shots at a winning TD. The last play launched with :02 on the clock, a quick slant that the Hawkeye receiver, Marvin McNutt (a backup) grabbed as he crossed over into the promised land with a Spartan defender (C.J.Rucker, who played an outstanding game) all over him, and all over it was, 15-13 Hawks, who went to 8-0.
When the dust settled, week 8 sucked for us. The side plays not published here weren't much better, so it was a rare negative weekend for the STP Investment Group.
I hate when that happens.
