Georgia Tech Blogger Research

by SpanishJohnny on Dec 14, 2009 1:21 PM CST

Tomorrow I have a final in American Constitutional Law and though I really should be going over the decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke or McDonald's v. Hamburgler or some other bullshit I've decided to put my own academic well-being aside to conduct some very important research so that we can better understand our yellow-jacketed opponents. The following is what I've discovered about our colleagues over at From the Rumble Seat, and I should warn you, it's about to get weird...

I conducted this study by observing the habits of a typical From the Rumble Seat writer utilizing a comprehensive regression, transgression, digression, data analysis model, as well as breaking in to their houses and going through their shit.

The results were... startling.

First off, let us examine some materiaI found in the home of a main From the Rumble Seat blogger:

This is clearly a crudely photoshopped image of A.C. Slater with Paul Johnson's head on it. Notice the large amounts of semen stains on the photo, their presence suggests that the blogger may have been pleasuring himself to the idea of a Paul Johnson/Mario Lopez love child. It is possible that the blogger may also enjoy Dennis Haskins watching him masturbate, but more research need to be done before that can be asserted with much validity.

Here is another image discovered at the writer's residence:

Again, more crudely photoshopped material featuring Paul Johnson on Mario Lopez's body. It also appears that the blogger has added Duane "Dog" Chapman and Jeffrey Tambor in to his sexual fantasy. "No Touching!" indeed! Note once again the stains from male sexual fluids.

Based on these findings, my observations, and data analysis, I have compiled the following graph which illustrates the average day for a From the Rumble Seat blogger.

I hope that my research will help all the readers of BHGP better understand our Orange Bowl foe and the bloggers that represent them.

Wouldn't his love of A.C. Slater be a source of an internal conflict?

I mean, after all…I believe it was he who said:

“But DAAAAD, I wanna go to IOWA!”

They’re a conflicted bunch.

Someone's a little pissed about being banned?

I was really hoping their fans would be fun and engage in elementary banter like the Cock fans. They have no sense of humor. Their blog is more dry than the European Journal of Political Research, and that isn’t saying much. Plus they hate ’Merica.

I'm with you on this one.

There’s not a lot of fun, witty repartee over there. It saddens me.

They banned you Johnny? Must have deleted whatever your worst transgression was.

by txhawkeye on Dec 14, 2009 2:58 PM CST up reply actions

Nope, I got banned after calling GT a “fucking nerd school.” One of the rules I apparently violated was “unnecessary vulgarity,” which I think is a goddamn contradiction. Vulgarity is hilarious. Plus how can you not get that the American flag/eagle thing is a joke? I have a Jay-Z lyric as my sig for Christ’s sake!

What a Shock

It probably all stems from the fact that the South lost the war to the flag that flies behind your eagle. Unfortunately for them, I’ve seen what the South produces, and trust me, it won’t be rising again.

They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Was down in Louisiana for work last year

Ancient guy at the front desk of the Microtel Suites kept referring to me as a ‘yank’ and wanted to tell me the story of how the Union had burned down a shoe factory in their little town.

They’re fucking weird down there.

I don't disagree

I’ve stayed out of the stats-addled melee over there for a couple of weeks now, if only because their choice statistics (things like 25+ yard plays and number of punts) are absurd. Lies, damn lies, and whatever else is in that old canard.

We’ll get down to the busy-ness this week. They won’t know what hit them.

Other things they don't handle well

Mentioning their bowl history, even if in jest. Jesus Christ, what is it about nerds that completely drains their ability to take a joke? Someone should introduce the good folks at the Rumble Seat to our jNWU friends, something tells me their mutual sense of intellectual superiority and strident demands to be treated with the respect they feel they deserve would make both groups feel like long-lost kin.

fair point

Tech fans aren’t known for our ability to take a joke (but then, is there any fan base that is?). If you spent four years at a school without women, you might be a bit on the touchy side, too…Since we get “nerd” oriented comments constantly from the uga community, their novelty has worn off (maybe if you had something original. Generally, I consider those types of comments about as UUU as I’d imagine the BHGP readers find corn related comments.

The comparison to northwestern probably isn’t terribly far off as far as the fans go. Unlike most of the big programs in our region, almost every one of our fans are alumni. I think that factor causes the fanbase as a group to be a little on the intellectually arrogant side. I don’t know anyone from NW, so I’ll leave the rest of that part of the comparison to you guys.

As for the game, I think it’s a terrific matchup. From what I’ve seen the teams are closely matched in talent and we’ve got a great contrast in coaching styles. If you’ve watched any of our games, you may have noticed that coach johnson has a bit of a temper, so keep your eyes peeled for a hayes/knight moment.

by Joe Hamilton's Chauffeur on Dec 14, 2009 4:51 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah...that temper

is interesting. Almost every tempermental coach in America has very public moments of his temper hurting his team. Think Dick Rod in the Iowa game. I’ll be watching to see if he kind of loses it in the Iowa game.

You have to be patient to beat the Hawkeyes

Paul Johnson isn’t patient.

by the_iowa_hawkeye on Dec 15, 2009 8:01 AM CST up reply actions

Yeah, I've noticed that about Johnson

Which works well for us. Coaches with short fuses tend to go especially apoplectic when playing Iowa, usually to disastrous results (see e.g. RichRod and Bill Lynch).

Quite fun to watch his reactions during the 05 Cap One Bowl.

And I get that the "nerds" thing probably is old for you

But you gotta admit, the way SpanishJohnny did it here, especially the graph, was an unique perspective on it.

But the S Carolina guys loved our cock jokes last year.

What can you say?

South Carolina supporters are just huge fans of the cock.

Eh, don't kid yourself.

I won’t argue that most of the alumni turn out to be football fans, but I don’t buy it that most fans of Iowa football are alumni. Like it or not, the Hawks are the default sports team to support in the state (unless you reside in the greater Ames area.) If you polled an average college football watching Iowan, I’m guessing their team of choice would be Iowa 80% of the time.

Hey now,

us youthful obese caucasian CR-dwellers take offense to that! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve some metal tribute videos to stitch together.

80 percent says way low

I’d say its closer to 93.8%.

There may be some similarities with Northwestern

but the major difference that Georgia Tech has good football tradition. Northwestern didn’t exist prior to 1995. So there is a pretty massive long term inferiority complex riding shotgun with their intellectual arrogance.

It never gets to be easy
