Georgia and Georgia Tech’s beef spans football, war, and apples

The Georgia Bulldogs & the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have been playing each other in college football for almost as long as they've had teams. But the meat of this rivalry isn't what happens on the field - it's all the OTHER nonsense they've gotten into, from accusations of wartime cowardice to players getting rocks thrown at them to something called "The Plan." Yeah, it's a lot.

Bushels of apples? A most tasty reward I do declare.

I really never expected to see John Heisman again, it's like meeting an Uncle that was in prison for a while because he scored 222 points while killing a football team.

Dad was a Tech grad, I grew up a tech fan, now I’m a senior at UGA. Technically I’ve never seen my team lose this matchup. Of course, they’ve never won either

[dondavis]

Still trying to wrap my head around fact that Tech chartered a plane from Atlanta to Athens! 😂

Im an Georgian. When I was younger, once georgia tech won i would call my now deceased grandfather and always stir something up. I miss those days. 😪

Another interesting bit: the uGA fans started throwing rocks and mud at the Tech players during their first game, so much so that they had to end early and run back to their train to take them back to Atlanta. Their passenger train wasn’t ready, so they boarded a box car. The train actually crashed (!!) and the players eventually made it back to Atlanta. A newspaper said, ‘The Wrecks Rambled Back to Tech, and thus the name Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech was born. This is a part of our fight song, and also the name of the student body mascot, the Ramblin’ Reck, a 1930 Ford Model A sport coupe!

This is the best sports series on YouTube hands down, drop the mic no one can compete.

I love how you have an intellectual and historic yet funny approach to most of the subject you talk about. We need more of this in europe. Kudos to you SB Nation.

How about a video on why Georgia and Alabama didn't play each other in football in the 1980's?

If we’re gonna starts doing rivalries, do Ohio State vs

Someone told me this game was like comparing the city of Atlanta (GT) vs the rest of Georgia (UGA). Is this true?

[jasonshaneyfelt]

I'm literally eating an apple as I watch this. Really helps you appreciate Clemson's motivation.

Rando vs Paul beef
Duke vs North Carolina
Auburn vs Alabama

I'm just glad to see a rivalry week video that's not about the Iron Bowl or "The Game."

[juanredondo]

GO JACKETSSSS!! I loved this video, man! Brings me back to soo many memories at Tech. Class of 2021, let's goo!!

I am curious for the St. Thomas vs. St. John’s rivalry from Minnesota. Even though it is Division III I feel that it is a storied beef history that should be highlighted.

Nice to see all those Lewis Grizzard clippings. My grandfather had a full collection of his books back in the '80s and he was quite the figure in Atlanta journalism until his early death.

I think my cousin wrote a book about the rivalry back during the early '90s. Most of my mother's relatives went to Tech and my father went to UGA and played basketball there, so every Christmas was an endless hell of tired jokes about the other's school.

Do Florida-Georgia
Texas-Texas A&M
Steelers-Browns
Browns-Bengals
